Bena, MN

I was driving west on US Hwy 2 between the City of Ball Club and Bena MN. I was approaching a black vehicle and as I got closer it increased it's speed keeping pace with me. I was within 100 yards of the vehicle. It went into the oncoming lane of traffic and accelerated causing the rear of the vehicle to drop slightly. At that instant a VERY large cloud of white smoke filled the highway. I slowed my vehicle and turned toward the shoulder on the North side of the highway. As I went thru the cloud I expected to see the vehicle stopped or black marks on the road. Once I was in the Cloud I could see out, but it was still thick. I watched the ditch on the South side of the highway as well, but saw no evidence of the vehicle leaving the roadway. I expected to smell burnt rubber from the tires skidding or spinning on the highway, but there was no smell. As I came out of the Cloud I could see for a couple of miles as the highway was straight. There were vehicles ap! proaching from some distance to the front but no one going in my direction. I looked in my rear view mirror and there was another vehicle coming around the cloud on the north side also. I wanted to stop that vehicle to see what they saw and thought of the encounter, but I didn't feel comfortable with that of know how to get them to stop. All I can tell you about the vehicle is that it was a midsize black sedan. Nothing special at all about it. I couldn't rap my head around what I had just seen and for nearly an hour the hair on my arms stood straight on end. It was a very strange experience!! I didn't see it in the air or anything so maybe not connected to a UFO. The only other explanation I can conclude would be spiritual or a ghost if you will. No matter what I am still very freaked out and bothered by what I witnessed.

Jersey City, NJ

After watching the latest Spiderman movie with my family at Newport Center Mall in Jersey City we headed home. After leaving the mall garage, we cut through the BJ’s shopping center area and my wife (seated in the passenger seat) says, “What is that in the sky?”. A few seconds after, my cousin seated behind my wife saw it too. Since it was visible on the right side and I was driving I couldn’t see it initially. Then I opened the moonroof of my truck and I was finally able to see it. Shortly after my son saw it as well. It looked like a large circular fireball hovering over a distant city somewhere west of us in NJ. It was about as high as a plane would be flying. The appearance of the ball seemed like a glowing orange fiery light and it seemed like it had some type of aura. My wife’s first thought was that it was a plane on fire. But after watching the object for about 30 seconds that claim was quickly refuted. I asked if someone could take out their phone to! record it. My son immediately began to reach for his phone and as he started reaching for it to the second this bright orange object began to move North in a linear fashion. As it started to move this bright orange light that lit up the night sky began to diminish in a matter of seconds until it was completely dim and vanished out of sight. It’s almost as though it knew we were about to record it.

Honululu, HI

We were at Waikiki beach towards the southern end. Around 2.10 pm I saw a triangular object rise over the horizon on the northern side of the beach (airport side) and shoot vertically into a cloud. The cloud was relatively small and the object didnt fly out on the other side of the cloud. I told my wife who was siting alongside me what i just witnessed and both of us eagerly kept observing the cloud hoping to see the triangular object fly out. As we were trying to spot the object fly out again, a second similar triangular object shot out of the north horizon and disappeared in the same cloud vertically at a very high speed. since the airport is in the backdrop, I remember seeing a commercial airline take off around the same point in the horizon (norther part of the beach) much slowly as compared to the speed of these objects which atleast seemed to be atleast 5X times the speed of the airline. Both my and wife couldnt believe what we saw. I had my camera wit! h me that fished after the second object entered the cloud and started panning the horizon to spot them. After 5 mins or so, I saw two figher jets circling in the distance over the mountains and the clouds trying to look for something. I was able to take pictures of these jets which were possibly scrambled from the base nearby. The jets were twin engine/ tail jets and couldnt in my mind be mistaken with the objects I saw earlier. Another thing that was peculiar, that if the commercial airline jet that took off from the airport at 400+ miles an hour speed and these objects easily flew at 5 times plus speed, that implies that they flew supersonic but we didn't hear them making any sound.

Lancaster, SC

Between 12:30 and 1:00 A.M. on July 3, 2019, I saw weird lightening-like lights high in the sky above the 30 acres of woods behind my house. My first thought was that it was some sort of freaky heat lightening. I told my friend to check it out and he looked up but the sky was dark again. When it happened a second time, I realized it was not heat lightening and had no idea what it was. The sky was dark, then suddenly I saw several lights that formed a vertical rectangle—but not a perfect one. The lights were visible for a few seconds, during which time several pulses of electricity zapped from one side of the rectangle to the other sporadically and simultaneously. Then the sky went dark. My friend confirmed that it was definitely not lightening. It happened again several seconds later, only this time it happened slightly lower in the sky and a little to the left of the first two pulses. The next time it happened it was even lower and more to the left, but in an arc from the initial sighting. We weren’t sure what it was or what to do so we kept watching. After several more appearances, it was 90 degrees from the initial sighting and just above the trees, then lower than the trees, then all we could see was a patch of pulsing light through the trees where it had landed. Now terrified, we grabbed our belongings and I headed into the house as my friend drove out of my driveway. I shut the lights and stayed away from the windows hoping I did not have any surprise visitors. At 2:30 I went to bed. I was too scared to go near the windows so I don’t know if it was still there and/or still is.

Euclid, OH

I have a Ring Spotlight mounted on my front door. It captured a small round white light floating and an another like that was like a small string of lights. They moved around then went towards each other and met and floated away, then my whole from yard lite up. I have no idea what it was, but I have it saved on my cell phone. I don't know how to upload it to the computer from a cell phone. We would like to look at the video, and communicate with the source of this report, but he/she elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information!! PD

Roseville, CA

On our way from interstate 80 to 65,near Blue Oaks BLVD. Appeared to have a white light floating around the middle axis, horizontally, nothing you would see on any other type of plane. The 2 other passengers in my car were staring at it for a good 2 minutes, lost sight of it around Blue Oaks. We tried to capture video, but our iphone couldnt see the object.

Rockaway Beach, NY

I was watching Good Morning America this morning, at 7:02am central standard time Ginger Zee was delivering the weather. Beside her right shoulder on the left of the screen a light appeared to fly into view, it then gets brighter and flies off the left of the screen blinking. I rewound the program and took several videos of what I saw. I also saw a tweet from Good Morning America of the same segment and sure enough you can see the light. I know its not from my tv because I took several videos and you can witness it on the tweet. I am not saying what it is I would just like someone to look at the video and maybe investigate if you see anything interesting. (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

I saw bright light(s) over the Chesapeake Bay. No sound; no visible craft. There was either more than one light or the light moved quickly from one area to another.

New Port Richey, FL

Four people saw this object come across the sky horizontally with a long fire like tail. It did not drop altitude but moved rather slowly with making no noise. Then it broke apart into two parts and continued out of sight. It never dimmed, but was constant fireball with a tail.

Dog started barking eastward, I looked up and saw what looked like a satellite, or spacecraft breaking up upon re-entry.

Sanibel Island, FL

My husband, a friend and I were out at the lighthouse on Sanibel Island, FL hoping to photograph the Milky Way from 12:30-3 am the morning of July 3, 2019. To do night sky photography, you need to have the camera on long exposure, so 15-30 seconds on a tripod. We had been shooting from various places near the lighthouse, the pier and the main beach area. While we were on the small beach area and had our cameras facing toward the lighthouse and the Milky Way we saw lights in the sky. They came from our right - over Sanibel end of the bridge - and we all noticed them at about the same time. I didn’t hear anything, but saw a long, cylindrical (rocket-like) object that looked as if it had flames coming from the middle and end of it. Around it were 6-10 small lights. They all traveled at about the same speed and in the same direction, toward Ft Myers Beach. The small lights didn’t break away from the rocket-like cylinder, they all stayed in the same pattern that we first! observed. At first we thought it was a meteor shower, but none were reported that night. Then we thought maybe a rocket launch gone wrong, but we none were reported being shot up that night/morning. Perhaps it was a satellite breaking up, but the smaller lights traveled at the same speed and in the same direction as the rocket-like cylinder, so didn’t seem to break up. Of course our cameras were facing the wrong direction to catch the unidentified flying objects and were on long exposure, so were useless to catch the UFO. But I did catch a quick photo with my iPhone and tried to get a movie (tho it isn’t good), though by the time I thought to grab my iPhone, the objects had moved quite a distance away. You can identify the rocket-like cylinder and a few lights around it as well as the Ft Myers Beach skyline.

Davie, FL

While beginning my exterior security rounds at 2:15am I noticed an unusually bright light in sky approaching very quickly in manner that was not typical of most planes & jets in sky. As it approached very near my direction at a very fast pace I noticed more details unusual about this object. I fumbled to get my cell phone for video but it was so fast I could only manage a quick photo after it passed me. The most unusual thing I noticed was how large & long the object appeared and that there was a haze in front of the light(s) that were at the tail end of the object. At first I only saw it as one light in sky. I thought for a moment it was coming right at me almost as if it saw me. Then in the sky about even with me slightly north (airport to south) it was not very high I noticed there were two lights in a vertical line one after the other and the distance between indicating a very long object, much longer then a typical jet. It clearly appeared as one object. I thought for a! moment perhaps a blimp. The haze was very distinctive and oddly visible in front of the lights. It had a translucent appearance almost as like an "aura" and was shaped like a cigar (or torpedo). It did not look at all like smoke or an exhaust trail and most odd was again the length of the haze forward of the two lights that were in very clear view behind the long shaped "aura" of the object that could not be seen. It appeared to be descending in the sky but in direction not typical of the other planes that land at nearby airport but further south of the sighted object. My photo does not show the haze only the two lights at tail end. Lastly there is a nearby airport to the south of this sighting. Minutes later a descending commercial jet in typical fashion even at night was very visible and distinctly heard as it descended for landing. The object I saw to the north was equally close enough to be heard and much larger & longer had me creeped out by the ee! ry silence. I called local police shortly after returning from rounds to report sighting and find out if anyone else reported anything. It was clearly visible at all time to anyone who may have been out at 2:15am. No reports had been made by others at that time and I declined to leave name or contact.

Monett, MO

Went out to smoke on my covered patio shortly after midnight, could hear the crickets and coyotes carrying on and low rumbling in the distance off to the west. Crickets fell silent, the sound got louder, like pulsating rumbling and whooshing, took several minutes to pass west to east, I didn't leave the patio to look but the sound was definitely coming from the sky. a few minutes after I couldn't hear it I could hear high flying jets also moving west to east.

Moran, MI

Late evening over east lake star watching access to lake looks west to the south was watching what appeared to be a weather event told those I was with it looked strange. Took them back and returned to lake. Large craft over lake Michigan marked by cloud cover could tell by lights and very slow movements. Thought that a ship this size would have scouts, saw first to the west at 1 o'clock and 2nd south west 10 o clock. These were smaller be not single pilot cart both pulsing lights around ships seemed stationary but moved in altitude lights did not circle but ran from side to side to central point. Large craft to the south was stationary there was civilian aircraft between larger craft rotates 90degrees showing the bottom of craft which looked like stars but in a 4 point pattern. At this time I thought it was 2 crafts continued to watch scouts once a civilian craft was by all ships moved west slowly

We looked at one another and said "did you see that?" We both thought we were crazy. Suddenly, we looked ahead and a bright green light flashed in the sky miles ahead of us. I have been fricked out every since. It was faster than a speed of light, the crazy thing was, it was on the lower side of the SUV, bright green light.

Lebanon, PA

Saw in night sky, about a football stadium away but obviously farther, itUFZo appeared to resemble a large aircraft possibly a DC 10 or 727 but was dark in appearance as we could see the outline. It had a red blinking light in back and blue blinking light in front. As we watched, it appeared to come down quickly in a 15 degree angle. The object did not change size, shape, or color even though it got closer. Then it appeared to hoover for around 5 minutes with both lights flashing red then they blinked back to red and blue. Then we didn't see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Columbia, SC

A massive triangle shaped object moved slowly across the night sky at what appeared to be 7500 feet in altitude. There was no jet engine sound. Red blinking lights were in synchronized and equidistant in distance. Total area of object at a guess would have been around the size of a city block. The weather was clear and Venus was clearly visible. Object was flying NE to SW.

Mebane, NC

At 22:03 tonight, I was taking one of my three dogs out for one last time before retiring to bed. I looked up at the sky above me. I saw a triangular shapped craft flying overhead. It was about 20,000 feet in altitude. It had a flashing red light in the middle and two solid white lights at each point at the rear. The white lights created a reflection off the bottom of the craft. It was clearly a shinny black metallic surface. It was being escorted by two fighter jets. The jets had the standard FAA regulation lights. The jet to the left was at a higher altitude than the craft while the jet to the right was at the same altitude as the craft. They were flying due south. The craft was silent. The only noise came from the jets escorting it. I ran to the back door and shouted to my wife to come out. She came out and witnessed the craft as well. We took pictures but our cell phone did not capture anything other than the indistinguishable lights. We watched it as i! t flew beyond our field of vision toward the south. At arm's length, the craft was approximately 2 inches in length. In comparison, the jets were about a quarter of an inch. Interesting night here in NC.

Vernon Rockville, CT

While watching the fireworks for July in the Sky in front of a church lawn, I saw a bright light in the corner of my eyes. I looked up to the right of the fireworks going on and saw a huge circle/sphere of a bright white light. It was way too large to be a star. Many others looked up and were amazed at what the object could be. It stayed visible about 30 seconds, then disappeared completely. It came back in same spot as if a light switch (on and off, and on). Then the grand finale began for the fireworks show, and the sphere/circle of light disappeared then in the same spot three tiny green lights in the shape of a triangle appeared where the orb was. The three triangle light began to move bling on and off in a zig zag pattern away from the fireworks for about 3 minutes, then stayed in one spot blinking on and off about every 3 seconds in one spot as if watching/analyzing the fireworks maybe? I went to watch the end of the show and then when I looked back the lights were there and disappeared. Never seen again. Could not have been a plane moving so fast in direct zig zag motions. Never seen anything like that before.
