Richmond, VA
I was stepping out to get something out of my vehicle when I noticed first what seemed like a flash of light similar to a beam from a lighthouse from the corner of my eye. I looked up into that direction, which was northward, and then I didn't see anything. Moments later, I saw a light light up in the sky moving northward. After the light was on for maybe 3 seconds, it went out. I assumed it was an airplane at first oh, but I didn't see the static red light. I know the fixed red light is on all airplanes, I worked in Navy aviation so that's normally the first thing that I would see on a plane that is flying at night. After another three or four seconds having not seen the light come back on, it did again but it only remained lit for maybe another half of a second. After the light disappeared the second time, I did not see it again. I have not ever seen an aircraft where the lights acted that way, so I felt very suspicious about it. There were no clouds in the! area where I was looking at, I was able to see all of the other stars around the light that I saw. And the light appeared to be larger than the Stars, and it was a very dull yellow almost white light.

We drove past a short line of trees, that took approximately less than a minute to drive past, and when we were at a point to see the sky again, the light was gone. It had just disappeared. Given that it appeared stationary when first observed, it was highly unlikely that it had moved beyond the line of sight in such a short period of time at the speed that would have been necessary to do so. I was unable to find the light again after that.

Driving on 19th Ave when I thought the moon was rather bright until it hit me that the moon wasn't full but a crescent. I kept looking at the insanely bright light. As I was parallel to it I saw the triangular, slightly rounded more teardrop shape with bright lights on all three points I thought it passed over me but never showed on the other side or behind me.

I was driving on K18 heading towards Scenic Drive with my husband, and I noticed 4 bright orange circles. 2 were on the left side of the sky, and they were in a straight vertical line, and then the other 2 were slightly south and in the same vertical position. I pulled over to look at them and one slowly blinked out of existence and then one by one so did the rest.

Kingsley, MI
Walking back to my house from my barn, I observed a round, white object hanging in the near sky above my house. I estimate the distance to be several thousand feet up in the air. A jet had passed over about 5 minutes before and was very high in the sky, unlike the object. It was high, but not like a plane. The object was bright white, or white-translucent, or oscillating. The shape was circular with a hollow center, like a donut. Also, it seemed to be hanging in the air at an angle, like you would tilt a hat on your head – it wasn’t horizontal. Direction was North, I live at the 45th parallel in what locals call ‘Northwest Lower Michigan’. The object was hanging in the air and there was no sound, and I observed it for 2 minutes when I went inside my house to get binoculars. The binoculars revealed a closer look at the object, which I estimate to be the size of a minivan. I watched the object, switching between unassisted eyesight and the binoculars for 5 minutes. Towards the end of the time I observed the object, a single red light appeared on its West facing side. I returned to my house to lay the binoculars down, and when I returned a moment later, the craft was gone. I telephoned the local Coast Guard at approximately 11:30PM the same evening, who told me “they hadn’t seen anything” and advised me to call the police. I telephoned the police non-emergency the next morning (today) and was met with similar disinterest and doubt. I Google searched ‘donut shaped UFOs’ and came across a NASA link that looks very much like what I believe I saw: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/617569/WATCH-Now-International-Space-Station-spots-bizarre-donut-UFO-that-vanishes The weather last night was clear and warm, it was still light and no stars had yet appeared

I was going to use my telescope, but first I went outside to scout it out with my 7x35 binoculars, looking for a certain star and locate the asteroid Pallas at 9:30 PM June 28th 2019 looking East and up about 45 degrees. Caught sight of very large object over 300 feet which filled my FOV (300 feet @ 1000 yards). Object was a strange color burnt-orange/brown and looked like bird feathers painted on the outside. I saw what looked like two square panels which were also painted and attached to the exterior. It was to large to be a bird and I did not see the whole object because I locked on it at first not moving and then suddenly as I took the binoculars away from my eyes to look for it because I thought it was so large I should be able to see it, but I couldn’t see it. I tried to find it again with the binoculars but to no avail. Maybe it was cloaked and only with binoculars can you see it? I’m an astronomer, chemist, engineering technician, computer professiona! l, bird watcher and first responder and I deal with facts. I never saw anything like that and I was not able to ID it. It made no noise had no lights and was very large and right there in the air right above me.

On June 28, 2019 approximately 9 PM I went outside as usual to look at the night sky and see if it was clear enough to bring out the telescope and ended up seeing something which “I did not know what it was” and it frightened me enough that I ran back inside. For less than a minute I saw up in the sky the painted surface of something which was stationary and silent, above me at about 45 degree angle from the horizon while using my binoculars. I didn’t see the entire object but what I saw was unusually large, I guessed the part I saw was over 300 feet wide and very tall maybe 150 feet because it filled my field of view, it had no lights, silent and the surface was painted like a bird, it had burnt-orange-brown colored feathers “painted” on the hull. I saw some detail on the surface, an outline of two rectangles intersecting on the surface of the craft which looked like hatches or access panels. I dropped the binoculars from my eyes and looked and could not see it. I made a half ass attempt to locate it again with the binoculars but no luck, I was frightened and I wanted to go back inside quickly away from it. I don’t know what it was. I don’t think we can make a craft like that yet though. I believe my binoculars helped see past the cloaking they were using, it is the only explanation as to why I couldn’t see it when not looking through the binoculars. It was huge and cloaked and real.

SANTEE, CA
It was 8:52pm and I saw a fighter jet going NW over my house. Then looking up I saw a black mass moving overhead where the fighter jet was exactly. Then looking up I saw at least 100 yards of blooming lights turned on me for 10-15 seconds. I waited until the lights went off and then grabbed my phone in my pocket. I started filming the black mass and I was able to catch multiple moving lights on this black mass. It was individual small white moving lights. It even had a point where something looks like it comes out of the craft then goes back in that was purple and green. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe I caught footage of this UFO. The lights shined on me were so bright and blooming. It was unreal. I was in a daze when the lights hit me and froze me in place momentarily. There was a small rumblings noise associated with the object.

A white pill shaped object very high in the sky, much higher than several planes crossing the sky also. It was at times stationary, and at times moving slowly. It was present for around 30 minutes before fading from sight suddenly.

Pittsburgh, PA. June 28, 2019: I walked outside in my backyard to take my dog out at around 8:35 PM. I could sense a storm coming over my way so I looked up into the clouds and noticed a super bright object. The grey clouds were out in the distance, and the shiny object was right overhead. It caught my eye at first glance - that’s how shiny it was. I stared at it for five minutes and realized it could not have been a star nor a plane. It was located way too high in the sky for it to have been a plane. I’ve seen both of those things during a sunset and neither of those were what I witnessed. I was watching the object, which looked exactly like a UFO, for 15 minutes straight. It was a shiny silver color, and it looked horizontally elongated, like a disk. It did not move. At about 8:50 PM, I saw the shiny object disappear into plain sight. Again, it didn’t move or anything when I saw it fade away. It’s like it camouflaged itself right into the color of the sky. I did not see it after that.

We saw a bright light. Moving at an extreme speed, it was large in size and flew until It vanished above the ocean. It appeared to be a distance away but I am unsure.

Mammoth Lakes, CA
We were on vacation in Mammoth Lakes California and on our last day Friday, June 28 we decided to drive up to take some pictures of the waterfall and the snow on the mountains south of Lake Mary. It was about 8:30 AM and we took some pictures of the waterfall but it was really cold and windy so we kind of were in a hurry and went back and got in the truck and started to drive away when I stop the truck because I wanted some pictures with the truck in front of the lake that’s when I got out walked across the street took some pictures with the lake in the background. It wasn’t until Saturday, June 29 evening I was sitting on the couch looking at my iPhone and the pictures I took when I noticed a neon blue spot in the sky on one of the pictures I thought it might be a reflection and almost deleted the picture but I zoomed in to see what it was that’s when I noticed it Looked like some kind of craft and had details like lights or whatever they are evenly spaced along the edges and underneath the craft. This was not a reflection or water drop or anything else but a well measured out craft with well measured out features in even distances from each other. The picture was taken with my new iPhone In live mode so it captures a three second video combined with a still photo and when I swiped to see the picture I could see this was moving like a blue laser pen wiggling on a wall moving all over the place up down back-and-forth never in a straight line or flight path. I downloaded the app called Lifey it allows you to take these live shots and save them as a MOV file to see the video and what I saw is incredible! this craft moves all over the place like a pinball never in a straight path it moves up down backwards sideways forwards diagonal just like if you were to wiggle a laser light on a wall. In the video the craft appears from the dense clouds at ridge line of the mountain range south of Crystal Crag Lake and then it continues to rise up to a higher altitude and move around and the recedes backward towards the clouds south of the ridge line of the Eastern Sierras, At 10,364 feet, Crystal Crag is a dramatic and rugged mass of rock that is a recognizable landmark on the Mammoth Crest. The crag is a popular destination among mountaineers and climbers and sits above Lake George Mary and Crystal Lake. When you see the video you can see why this was not something I noticed because I was looking at the cellphone screen it came in went so fast I just happen to be in the right place at the right time and pushed the live picture button at exactly the right moment to capture this amazing craft and it erratic movements in a Live shot giving me the really awesome video.

Star gazing early in the morning Saturday 4AM the 29th of june. It was still dark when 6 oblong oval craft in formation silently flew right over my house very fast. Quick moving metalic craft about 2000 feet in the air put off a dull glow of silver lined up in a slant formation 6 in a row .

I looked out my east facing window and thought I was looking an early morning moon in the mid-horizon over Lake Michigan. I thought the moon was obscured by the clouds which was creating an effect of partial visibility. The light disappeared and I thought it had gone behind the clouds. I opened the night sky app and pointed it in that direction, and there was no moon there! Oddly, at the same time, I saw two moving lights, going north to south. These appeared at first to be in the far distance, but as I tracked them visually, they were decreasing in altitude and appeared between myself and the buildings in front of me. I suppose these could be drones, used by CP to scout late-night disturbances. Was just odd to me that there were 2 flying in unison at the same time I saw that weird light in the sky.

Video captured drone like object 7 times tough out the night. First video starts at 1:38 and last video is at 5:30 AM. The object appeared to be interested in the IR lights on my camera, but unlike a drone the object did not disturb the near by shrubs at all like a drone would from its fan blades. The object also appears to be flying at a 5 degree tilt in a consistent pattern with 4 lights across the horizontal surface of the object.
