We saw a spacecraft flying towards the moon thats when we glimpsed at the object a little harder because planes dont fly that close too the moon and helicopters don’t either so me and my friend went on the roof of the house for a closer view, when we got up there we saw the same object (we knew it was the same object because pf the 3 lights that were radiating underneath) switch directions at first it was going right then when we got on the roof it went left...note that the aircraft stayed in the area for about 15 mins b4 moving to another area (which was still visible from our POV), long story short this object was circling back and fourth but always flew back near the moon.

Object appeared to be like a plane, but the color and speed wasn’t correct, and it seemed closer and lower than a plane. Slow and steady course. After it disappeared into the clouds, the same exact thing happened about 1-2 minutes later (a second identical object on what seemed like the same flight path). Time indicated by witness may have been flawed. We have amended it, in order to indicate a nighttime sighting. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

I happened to be watching the sky and counting the number of jets I could see at one time. This particular 'jet' was moving toward me, but it struck me as odd that the light of an approaching jet was red. They are always white. Now, I realize that is sometimes difficult to ascertain whether an object is approaching or going away from you. That's not my point. The point is, the speed at which this object switched directions was 10x the speed. It was then fast flashing white. I then video captured more of these rapid switching movements. The video quality from my iphone is grainy, but I have video. Was it a drone? Not sure. I am willing to send video if I knew how.

I was closing a shade in my kitchen at 10:00 pm, when I noticed a brilliant blue object, or light, apparently sitting right on top of a streetlight located approximately 75 feet from my house. It was a little smaller than a basketball and was a bright medium blue color that cast light around it, and it had a white aura around it. I watched this object for approximately 30 seconds while trying to figure out what it was, when it suddenly shot backward (NE) at extremely high speed, leaving a trail behind it, and was out of sight in a second. Then I walked into the living room and noticed that the TV and all the lights seemed extremely bright. I had to lower the brightness on the TV just to watch it. Ever since then all lights seem very bright to me and I have to keep my office lights off and can't look at a computer screen for very long. I have an appointment with an eye doctor because I'm afraid that my eyesight has been permanently affected. I find it very odd that there were so many reports of unexplained objects earlier on the same day in Kansas City. I am a UFO investigator and have received reports of small bright red objects, small transparent objects, and multiple witnesses to the two or three objects that hovered over KC for over six hours on the 20th and on other days that week. Additionally, I received two reports of giant birds the size of an airplane in Independence and Sugar Creek that were seen on the 20th.

Hixton, WI
6/20/19 2138 CST approx location 44 deg. 25' 17.6" N 91 deg. 03' 20.7" W https://goo.gl/maps/mdpPK5BSAKmg4NPB7 I was driving my semi truck I-94 eastbound, I was approx 3 miles northwest of Hixton, WI. Off to the right edge of my windshield I noticed a flashing light come into my field of view. It was traveling from my right side to the left, its direction of travel was to the north-east. Because I was traveling 70mph down the hwy I could tell its distance from me was less than a mile, when I first saw it to the end I had gained distance on it and it seemed closer than at the beginning. So the light was pulsing in a binary condition, meaning full on and fully off at about 4-5Hz (times a sec), and the on period was the same as the off period, it wasn't like the flash strobe of an airplane where you have the quick flash, then long off period and the quick flash again. The light stayed the same throughout the sighting. The path of the light went pretty much horizontally from my right, over above the field to the right of the hwy, crossed over the hwy and over to the left side of the highway over some wooded area roughly 1/2mi off the hwy taking approx 4-5 seconds, it was moving very quickly. It was very low the entire time, I estimate it to be below 500ft. My work base is very close to MSN airport and I see air traffic everyday at low altitude, I also know it is against the rules to fly that low (below 500ft agl) without a really good reason. While the light was to my left just over the wooded area 5-6 bright lights dropped from the original flashing light, this took less then a second. These lights were constantly lit and they seemed to fall strait down until they were now obscured by the trees in the forest. I am now watching this from my side window, with the window down. Almost immediately after the lights dropped, the original flashing light turns its direction of travel to near vertical and keeps climbing until it looks like it goes into the clouds and I cant see it anymore. The 90 degree turn was very quick and it didn't appear to be in an arc at all, it was just suddenly going up. During this time its so close I had to stick my head out the window to look up to keep it in my sight. During this whole thing I'm thinking this is an F-16, and I try to hear the engine, and I should have been able to see the glow of the exhaust. I don't hear anything or see the exhaust, I've been to a few airshows and when jets go into a vertical climb it is very loud below it, and their pretty much giving it full throttle to maintain that climb. I also know that I can hear F-16's taking off while I'm driving my truck with the windows rolled up as it is quite a frequent occurrence when I am driving near MSN/Truax field. I watch them takeoff at night sometimes and they always have a white strobe and their red/green wing lights along with orange glowing exhaust. After I couldn't hear the engine, that's when I realized I needed to note the time and my location. I knew Volk field was somewhat near so that night I looked it up, turns out its actually over 55mi from where I was. Google maps sat view only shows farm fields, no bombing ranges. And if it was a jet fighter dropping flares, why was it flying a few hundred feet above hilly ground dropping flares into a wooded patch in a farmers field surrounded by farm houses less then a mile away from an interstate highway in near pitch dark.

Pulsating oval shapes with line of lights emitting from the oval shape. They seemed to be chasing each other. In pulsating and moving slowly. Bright orange light, much brighter than the surrounding city lights. Just above the mountain top and definitely in air. They would pulsate and some of the shapes after pulsating would be located in a much further position and then sometimes after pulsating return back close to their starting position/ location. First time we had ever seen an UFO?

I retrieved my binoculars for a closer inspection and the 2 objects were actually ring shaped. They were bright white glowing, not moving at all. After about 20 minutes of observing they were obscured by clouds. High-altitude balloon? Please see other reports, going back to June 18 over Ohio. PD

2 silver/white spheres approximately 5000 feet in altitude and around 500 yds. apart. Did not change position during the 20 minute sighting and were eventually covered by incoming clouds. At first sight we thought they were stars but were closer and larger than a true star. The evening sun made them shine like stars, I do not believe they were emanating light. This was approximately 5 miles E/SE of Kansas City International airport. There was nothing particularly significant about this other than they just didn't move at all the whole time while clouds and aircraft were crossing above.

Around 7pm +- 20 minutes, we noticed two bright stationary objects high in the sky, looking up towards the north. They remained motionless as planes went underneath them. They were about 1/2 mile apart and must have been very large as using commercial jets underneath as a reference. The sighting lasted approximately 30 min. We took pictures and small video, looking at the picture blown up, it appeared to be round and glowing as bright as the sun. Really remarkable and know other people around Kansas City, MO, had to have seen same objects. We will be looking to the same area tonight to see if by chance maybe a planet was the culprit. However, it was inside our atmosphere.

Was outside with my dog in the backyard. Saw something very bright and flying way too slow to be an airplane. No blinking light no noise. Sped up a little , got bright than the light disappeared as if it just went out. I did not see it take off quickly or anything like that . Just disappeared. Sky was clear, no clouds. Not the first time I have seen something in this area, I just felt to stupid to report it, like I would be called crazy.

I saw a "shooting star" come to a dead stop in the sky. It hovered for a while then shot straight up and stopped again. At that point I took out my camera and recorded. It then accelerates downwards and to the side behind the buildings near by.

I was driving from the Hamptons with my son and I was admiring the clouds and I noticed a weird shiny box in the sky and a small plane next to it. I pointed it out to my son and he thought it was one of the signs they use to advertise on the beach. But the only problem it was not moving. I could not get a photo of it because we were driving on the sunrise hwy., but to this day, I am sure it was a UFO.

The sun was reflecting off of the metallic top of the craft. It drifted around and was heading north toward Ogden. It hovered around the mountains, and then slowly went straight up until I couldn't see it anymore. High-altitude balloon? PD

It is not the first time while driving I-4 passing Downtown Orlando towards Sanford I've seen this light I was close to exit to Anderson area and the Oval light was I would say towards exit 101 or 104. I know we have an airport nearby but this is just like no track once I see it I can't find again in the clear skies. But yesterday, at 18:30, I witnessed it want wanted to let you guys know. It's like an airplane size oval shape light that disappears after a few seconds. Sometimes I keep looking thinking there is a cloud it goes into because that's the sensation that it goes into something in the sky but it just disappears. I've seen this incident a couple of times this month. I also noticed this around 17:00 in the Central Florida Parkway maybe a few months ago zip code 32821 facing north same exact shape bright, light shows and in a few seconds disappears as if it was going to a cloud but there is none. In a way looks like a bigger version to what you ! will experience if you are having a huge migraine the little dots of light you see flashing but bigger like airplanes and only one that goes away in a few seconds by disappearing in the sky. It has been only one single light each time I see it. I am always observing when I can and I spend 1 to 2 hours driving for commuting so I am aware of my surroundings and look up as well. No rainy days on daylight all these occasions. The sun is always to the right when I'm driving from I-4 Close to Conroy Road towards Daytona area.

First,I am slightly embarrassed and hesitant to provide this information, but I really need to know and understand what this was I saw. I'm guessing near midnight, I happened to be outside heading to my car, from a friend's house to head home for the night. When I noticed something directly above the tree line. I was carrying a flashlight as I walked to the car. I pointed the flashlight in the direction of the dark object in the sky, unsure as to if my eyes were playing some trick or if there really was something there. As I pointed my flashlight at this, whatever it may be, the sky literally lit up. It went from rather dark to quite bright, all at once. Just above the tree line, I now see a super bright something I cannot even describe. My first thought was, what is a helicopter doing so low to the ground, and for whatever reason I started flashing my flashlight on and off as if I wanted to communicate with the helicopter. Then I notice this helicopter is making no noise, and has no wind of any kind. The next thing I notice is, as I started flashing my flashlight, it turned colorful. It had colors literally swirling around and around this object, reminding me of a small helicopter completely enclosed in glass with fiber optics within, causing these colorful lights that are spinning around and around this object. The colors seemed mostly oranges and reds, even blues and yellows but swirling around and around very fast unlike anything I have ever saw. At this point I am yelling for people in the house to either come out or at least look my direction to see how bright the area was lit up. Just as fast as it was there it was gone, literally in the blink of an eye. I do not know what I witnessed, I keep assuming some sort of military aircraft or something to that effect. But, I need some sort of explanation. There was no sound, no wind and I really cannot say for sure, but I swear I thought I could make out a single figure inside these lights, but I am truly uncertain on that. The more I think on this matter, more and more questions seem to come to mind. Now, I am scared my imagination is running wild with this. Though, when my friend did come out to see what all the screaming and yelling was about, he can attest to how truly freaked out and uncertain I was about everything except this object was really there and not imagined. After having thought on this a week or so, and having looked up and read various reports on-line about FBI surveillance aircraft, and military testing I now and more uncertain than before, because that don't make much sense. This is a very rural area near Smith Mountain Lake Virginia. What could possibly be there that would ever need surveillance? Again, I am uncertain as to this, but it is certainly something that my eyes and limited knowledge did not and do not recognize. I am very hesitant to even tell anyone about this, but I would like to know if its something explainable. I just used a notepad on my laptop to compose this small report which does not have a spell check built in, but I have done the best that I can with this. I hope it is enough to be taken seriously. Thanks for any time and effort involved in reading this. I do give my word on my very name that this was not imagined.

Smithville, MO
I initally saw what looked like a star in the sky. I then noticed that it moved quickly up, down, to the right, then make half circles then zig zag quickly to the right, yet staying in a general area. I called my 19 year old son to look and he saw it too. I called the local police and 2 seasoned Smithville, Missouri, police officers came over and they saw the same "light" moving and then they saw multiple lights moving. The lights looked like stars in the sky. Three lights were in the formation of a large triangle. There was another brighter light to the right of that triangle that was moving as well. They were in the sky for some time, like 2 hours that I watched them. The more I watched the sky, the more movement I saw of bright star-like objects moving. They were not planes as planes cannot move quickly like that. I do not drink or do drugs of any kind. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

While driving home at 10:20pm, traveling West on Conroy road, South of Orlando, Florida, we watched 15 oval lights move very quickly over us traveling in a Southwest direction where they all stopped over the Williamsberg area and hovered just above the low clouds that were about 500'. Then after hovering for about 10 minutes, each one in turn traveled in an upward direction until the light could no longer be seen. This was the most unusual night sky we've ever seen. Amazing what you see when you look up.

Whole crossing the bridge noticed a really bright light in the sky towards the south. It was so bright it was hard to look at at first, then it started deem (sic. down?) when I stopped my truck to get a pic of it.
