Cherry Grove, SC
So I live near the city of Myrtle Beach, SC, a large tourist area on the coast of the state. Cherry Grove is a small town on the north end of Myrtle Beach. The Cherry Grove Inlet, which is where this incident occurred, is known for paranormal/extraterrestrial activity and has been for decades. Since before I was born (I am almost 30) the locals living on or near the inlet have reported strange sightings. At night randomly, with no consistency in pattern, numbers, or time of night, these globes of light appear in the sky. The lights are a deep orange-red color. The number of lights varies from 1-6 total (at least from what I've heard from the mouths of the locals and seen myself) and sometimes they appear in a "triangular" or "pyramid-like pattern". Not every time. But sometimes. They seem to appear more on nights when the moon is brighter, like tonight, and it is rare they behave the same way from one sighting to the next. When they appear, if you do witness their presence, they brighten and dim like theyre breathing. Brighter and brighter until theyre almost blinding, and then dimmer and dimmer until they are basically not visible anymore. They hover for minutes sometimes, still and unwaivering, and then POOF they will disappear, only to reappear miles north/south within that same second. In the blink of an eye. Like lighting. Sometimes they're high above the ocean, and sometimes they are right down over the waves. I've seen them sway and flit and zip about, much like a housefly does when in flight. I've seen them down over the waves, just barely above the waters crest, and watched that orange-red light seemingly melt off of them and rain down into the water. I've also been right beneathe them. When the tide is lowest on nights when the moon is bigger you can walk over a mile out from the public walkway where the inlet starts. And one night at around 930, back in March, my daughters and I were all the way out as far as you can go on the pointe, and they appeared. Right above our heads. It was beyond terrifying. I couldn't make out a shape. Just 2 orange-red lights, a few feet apart, maybe 50-75feet over our heads. They make no sound. None at all. Quiet as a graveyard. And they hovered there over us, the orbs "breathing" like they always do. There was no movement. They were perfectly still. Absolutely no waivering or swaying whatsoever. And as we ran for our lives it seemed, I kept looking back at them to see if they followed. They did not. Once we reached the walkway over a mile up the beach, I turned around to catch one last glimpse before the disappeared altogether. The commonality with all the reports, and all my personal sightings of them (I've seen them more than 50 times in the past 8 years), is that they only ever appear at night. Until today. I saw them. I saw the ships. In broad daylight. I have multiple pictures. I will include them all here so you can see exactly what I mean. These are supremely advanced aircraft. It's hard to describe the shape. But the best way to sum it up is they have a pyramid-like body, not super tall just triangular, with a hull the scoops upwards from the bottom, and wings that jut out and downwards from the body of the craft. There is a light directly on top of the ship, and one on either arm/wing. It explains the triangular pattern that the lights sometimes appear in. They are LARGE aircraft. They were hovering at least 100 feet above the ocean, and probably a mile+ away from me over the water, yet they were clearly massive and robust in build/structure. I'd dare to say bigger than our biggest commercial aircraft. It was a little past 8pm. My daughters and I were walking on the Intracoastal Waterway side of the inlet. The sun was starting to set and there was a gorgeous display of neon pinks and oranges and yellows on the clouds. The moon was bright. The backdrop of the sky had a rainbow effect. I had my Professional grade Nikon camera with me, as well as my phone, taking photos of the sky out over the dunes towards the ocean side of the beach, when I noticed a strange steel gray/blue shape that stood out between the oranges and pinks of the clouds. Initially I thought it was a space in the clouds, and that it would move momentarily as the clouds drifted by on the wind. It didn't move. I locked my eyes on the shape as more of it appeared out of the clouds (again, it didn't move. The clouds were moving at a decent rate). That's when I realized there were 2. The first one I noticed was closer, and far more exposed than the second, which hovered to the left and back away from the first one. They were still and unmoving. As I wrapped my mind around what I was seeing it hit me what I was looking at. With my eyes still locked, snapping photos as I moved, I ran through the dunes and back out onto the oceanside, never blinking or moving my gaze off these things. And once I got to the water's edge there was no denying what they were. I could see the wings, the scooped hull, the lights, the massive body and gray steel color. Aircraft like I'd never imagined before. And they were right there in broad daylight hovering over a beach crawling with tourists. The look on my face as I stared up at them caught the attention of MANY of the other beachgoers. Families with their children, elderly couples, another mother with her son, all tuned in and finally saw what I was seeing. There was mild panic as many rushed off the beach, but I stayed there determined to see what these things would do. And just like that, as if they'd realized a decent amount of us had noticed them, THEY VANISHED. To be clear, I know for a 100% fact they were still right there. They have an active camoflauge they use to blend in with the sky, like a cloak or shield, and they activated it once they realized they'd been spotted. There is no other good explanation. Total time between when I initially spotted them, and when they finally "vanished", was about 12 minutes. But I've seen these things for years. My family has seen these things since before I was alive. And just based on what I know about them, I KNOW they were still there. And I waited with my daughters for another hour to try and see if the lights of those ships would once again make an appearance. They didn't. At least not while I was there. My father is the one who advised me to report this. And here's why. My father has been closer to one of these than I was that night the lights appeared right over us at the inlet. But this happened at night. My entire family and every local I've ever spoken to about these things has always said they only appear at night. All the reddit threads and local posts I've read about these lights say they ALWAYS appear at night. ONLY at night. So upon telling my father that they were out and clearly visible in broad daylight he strongly encouraged me to reach out to the government BECAUSE if they went from being discreet and cautious about appearing only at night, to full blown daylight appearances over a crowded beach, SOMETHING might be about to happen. Something bad. I've always thought, having watched them so many times throughout the years, that they were looking for something. Why else would they stay over this 4-5 mile stretch of beach, and for decades at that? Why else would they continuously range above the waters surface, back up into the sky, and then down again? They have to be looking for something. Nothing else makes sense.

I was sitting on my deck looking towards the northeast when a flash of light in the sky caught my eye. The object was at about 60 degree elevation. I observed it for a minute or so with my naked eye and it appeared to be similar to a satellite tumbling in space, reflecting the sunlight as it tumbled. With my binoculars it appeared to have a linear shape but very thin, almost a sliver. It appeared to moving very slowly to the east. I observed it for a few more minutes when a passenger jet flew nearby. It was obvious that the object was far above the jet's contrails. After about 10 minutes, the object suddenly accelerated to the south for a short distance, then made a 90 degree turn towards the earth. My house blocked further observation of the object. The reason I am reporting this is because of the sudden acceleration and changes in direction the object made. I saw all of this in broad daylight under mostly sunny skies.

A long slender shaped rectangle craft was seen in a vertical fashion moving across the ski very slowly. The object went behind a cloud (it was a very cloudy day) and disappeared. Pulled over into a parking lot to get a better look or picture but it was gone.

I stayed for about 10 min to see if it would come back, but I lost it. On my way back home passing the industrial park on my right, there was a helicopter. I was driving and couldn’t really tell, but to me it looked like it had no markings and it could have been a black helicopter. There is a military base 10 min away from the park and industrial area. I was driving and could not stop so I can't confirm it was a black helicopter. I don’t think it a coincidence that I see a UFO and there’s a helicopter flying around the vicinity after. I’m frustrated as the UFO only shows up o! n video the last 2 sec, when I clearly and visually saw it the whole time while recording.

As I was listening to a friend talk to a group of four of us, I saw a light as bright as the full moon but smaller in size, which was about 1/8 the size of the moon, travel in a perfectly straight line horizontally across the sky and disappeared into absolutely nothing. There were no clouds and the moon was full and bright. The light traveled faster than any airplane and was not a shooting star. There was no tail or lagging light behind the object. The size of the object was so large it could never be misinterpreted as an aircraft. The manner at which it disappeared into thin air was a complete mystery. I have never seen anything similar to this, and matter of fact have never seen anything other than aircraft and an occasional shooting star a handful of times. As I yelled “Did you guys see that?” I actually startled everyone because they actually did not see what I had because it was behind them. This is definitely a little scary, mysterious, and totally unexplainable.

It was a quickly moving white oval light that slowly flashed off then on again a few times. The light became two lights and turned towards the mountains and below the tree line. I couldn't tell if it was one light that became two or if it was two lights all along travelling next to each other that only revealed themselves to be two lights when they turned away from me towards the mountains.

Saturn E-SE approximately 7.7/127.0 degrees Alt/Az, Jupiter E-SE 23 degrees above horizon, 23.0/153.9 Alt/Az up and right of very bright Saturn. Sky observed at 22:30 normal, except brightness as noted. Sudden appearance of diamond configuration of four (4) lights mid-point between two planets, stationary for 20 seconds of observation, then began sequentially fading out in place. Duration was no more than 30 seconds.

So honestly it didn’t look very odd at first it just looked like a plane but the more I looked at it the more I could see it looked more like a cigar (granted it was very far away). What really made me report it though was the distance it was covering. Like 15ish miles a second and when I did some calculations that would be close to 60000 mph. Which is ungodly fast, there also seemed to be some intelligent maneuvering going on which makes me believe it wasn’t a rocket. (It continually changed direction) although I’m no expert in weapon systems. It could have been nothing but it seemed odd, odd enough that I wanted to research and report it.

No sounds heard to indicate a helicopter suspended there. Then last night, I saw the same apparent light south of us. Fixed, not moving. It was there for a long time, went to bed before it disappeared. Tonight, it was not there.

Approximately 8:20 pm on June 13, 2019, my husband and I were outside on our property near New York, Texas. We saw a bright orange light equivalent to a bright security light in the south eastern sky. It was moving slowly to the southwest. We watched it for about 2 minutes going to the southwest. It looked like it was moving away from us for about 15 seconds and suddenly it was totally out of sight.

Spokane, WA
Somewhere between I would say 1900-1910 hours this evening (June 13, 2019), my husband and I were sitting outside in our little popup camper, enjoying the cooler air and listening for bird sounds. The just out of the sky, we hear this enormously loud trumpet blast, three times! (He said it sounded more like a trombone because of its timbre.) On my piano, I found the notes were within a four-key (such as C,E,E and F - a major key signature) and were slurred (no break in-between the four-note phrase). Each blast lasted about a second. So loud! We both agreed we had never heard anything like this and have no idea what could've been its source except to say that it came from the sky! We discussed all of the options we could think of and came up with nothing that we're aware of that could emit these blasts. We are both retired Federal employees. I am a former Public Affairs Officer for the USFS. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Actually, we are located east of Reardon and west of Spokane (just west of the ATV park just west of the Spokane River) in a coulee. I don't think I was very accurate in my description of where we were because I was still stirred up over that noise! If you travel Highway 2 east of Reardon, Coulee Hite Road is a left hand turn off Highway 2. We were sitting in our little pop up camper which we have set up on our ranch property right now; it's so nice to enjoy our coffee there because it's cool (in the morning and evening) with the breezes. I will ask our neighbors if they have heard any noises. We heard another one last night, but just a single loud blast; however, it was different from the three blasts we heard the other evening. In fact, my husband and I are still talking about it, racking our brains for trying to remember anything similar that we've heard but so far, no luck! ((END ADDENDUM))

First we thought it was weird for white birds to be flying in formation and so high. Then we saw them descending rapidly in formation and with bright lights facing us. Suddenly, they change direction and disappear. They all re-appeared and repeated same process again. Disappeared and I'm not going away until I see them again

Virginia Beach, VA
Exact longitude and latitude at time of sighting: 36.854750, -75.969278. I was deep-sea fishing on a commercial boat off the coast of Virginia Beach in 2019. Things are - granted - fuzzy, as I was on some decently strong psychotropic medication at the time. Luckily, I had the foresight to snap a picture, which jogged my memory wholly in the recent days - being swept up by the UAP information being released. The incident stuck out in my mind due to recent news revealing that there's been a significant amount of sightings over the ocean. When I say was fuzzy I do mean it. I was out on the boat for maybe anywhere from one to two hours, and I had downloaded some podcasts to listen to while out fishing. It felt as though in one moment there was nothing - and the next moment I looked up, there was an oddly vertical craft almost hovering above the water. The craft didn't seem to move strongly in any direction, almost hanging perfectly still directly in the center of my vision. As I mentioned before, I had the foresight to snap a photo. Just about everything around the photo is useful - except for the damn image itself. What was incredibly apparent was that the object was very large and decently far away. It was a clear as clear could be on that day, however, so there was absolutely zero mistaking it. The craft appears very blurry in the image, however, there's relevant detail that was automatically stored when I had taken the image due to the Google Photos app's data storage. https://ibb.co/VWnNw16 --- Here is a link to the image, you can check it on whatever site you'd want, ibb is a site I use personally. The shape of the object was hard to pin down. I've tried doing some googling for similar images in the recent weeks and there's only one I seem to keep coming back to for the most accurate comparison of what I saw in the sky. https://ibb.co/dQPp7sw Imagine if that craft was rotated ~45 degrees or so on its z axis. That's the closest thing I could describe it to. A pointy, vertically-oriented black craft hovering in the sky. Even in my haze, I had mentally ruled out the possibilities of it being a singular bird (too big) or a helicopter (no visible rotors or obvious means of propulsion). Do with this info what you will - as a rule of thumb I'm not particularly interested in any sort of publicity, even though you may do with the info what you see fit to. I was not particularly interested in showing it to anyone at the time out of fear of stigmatization and am still not very interested in having my name attached to it. The fact of the matter is, however, that this incident has stuck with me for years - and it should be seen by someone given the recent breakthroughs and some amateur research done by me that has pinned Virginia Beach as a "ufo hotspot" in recent years.

On a clear day with only a few clouds, my wife and I were walking the dogs and saw about 20 or more white dots drifting slowly and heading east in Schaumburg, IL. All of the objects were moving erratically, and in a slow motion. The objects were moving up and down, and side to side, just slightly. After a few minutes, all of the objects slowly faded away.

Went to bed, and we have no curtains on our windows. Looked out the window from my bed and two bright lights were in the sky, just thru the trees. At first I thought it might be drones. But they stayed pretty much in the same spot. They were twinkling, dimming and sometimes disappeared, but came back on. The lights were bright, the light seemed to shine down on the yard almost. We live in an isolated area with no lights close to use, so I don't have an explanation. I did get up to try and take a picture but I was nervous and when the iphone turned it's flash on, I got scared and just turned the phone off. I hope this helped. ((witness's name deleted)) 989-((telephone number deleted)) In case you don't believe me. I called our sheriff's dept. today, but they were too busy to take my report.
