Manhattan, KS
We were driving on I-70 back to Manhattan when I saw several orange lights in the sky that looked close by. They were so bright that they looked like they could have came from fireworks or an explosion of some kind, but it was illuminating the sky around it. The lights were in a disk-like formation and several more appeared between some of the lights. This honestly reminded me of the Phoenix Lights. There is Fort Riley near by, so I'm unsure if it was a military thing, but these lights were so close and not anywhere near Manhattan or the military base. These lights then began to descend down toward the ground while also vanishing like if someone turned off a light. By the time we got to Bill Snyder Highway, the lights were gone.

On 6/8/2019 I was walking around the second floor balcony of a hotel when I looked into the sky around 7:25 PM I noticed a huge weird Uap flying really fast around the sky with a mist around it on the west side of the Hotel, It seemed kind of close but it was about at least 300 yards away. It had a indescribable shape with flashing circle green and red lights at the bottom. I continue to walk around the second floor balcony to see if I could gather more intel about what I saw. Finally, I went back to my room on the 3d floor of the Hotel and I looked out the window it was still there. I decided to go back down to the second floor balcony to see if I could get a picture, but when I went back down it was gone.

Went outside around 145am on June 8th just to get some fresh air and I always look up to the sky when it's clear, and it was...I was looking towards the North sky area and detected a large bright "light" in the sky...it looked very high in the sky and was slow moving as though it was a helicopter but much too high for that and there was no sound...as I said the light was very bright and slowly moving in what looked like a SE direction...the object then just disappeared and I could not see it any longer… It was a clear night...I thought later that maybe the ISS might have a Bright Light under it so people could see it pass over, don't know, maybe you might know...nothing else, but, will keep my eye to the sky. Possible sighting of Jupiter, which is quite prominent?? PD

As my son, wife and I were looking up at the stars late Friday night into early Saturday morning we saw this light traveling in the galaxy at a constant speed. It was passing stars and at first we thought it was a shooting star but clearly realized it wasn't because it stayed lite and maintained a constant speed until it came to a complete stop. It was going from West to East then stopped, went south for a short distance, did this zig zag in the sky and shot off rapidly towards the east until it disappeared. Was out of this world for sure!

Highland, IN
My rommate and I saw the obect from our patio move across the sky at a relatively slow rate. Slower than a small single engine plane would. The lights at the back of the object blinked in a strange fashion. About 5 lights would blink at different intervals and then they would all go black. They would turn off for about 2 seconds and then continue on in the same strange blinking pattern. The lights were rectangular and orientes vertically. It moved from the west towards the southeast in a straight line. No sound could be heard coming from it. It was difficult to make out the exact shape of it.

Witness was at home and his roommate called to him to come outside onto the balcony to see something in the night sky at about 10:50 pm central standard time. The sky was clear but it was especially dark because it was a waxing crescent moon with 21% visibility that evening. They thought it was a plane at first but it was flying relatively low and they were were unable to make out a shape of the object which was strange because there were commercial and small engine airplanes flying this evening at varying altitudes and they could make out the shape of the planes even though it was dark. This thing had about 5 rectangular white lights oriented vertically across the back of it. The lights pulsated and flashed in a staggered order and then they would go completely dark for about one or two seconds and continue flashing again in rapid succession. They were not able to hear any sound coming from it nor were they able to see any kind of exhaust trail coming from! it. It moved from west to east in a straight line and they observed it facing south. It moved slower than a single engine plane would which made it stand out even more. They thought it might be a drone but it was unlike any drone they'd ever seen before. They followed its trajectory which was viewed above a tree line for about the next 4 minutes until it was no longer visible behind the tree line. Witness included digital photos / screen grabs from video (a couple are zoomed in and cropped) and video that are relatively bad quality because of how dark it was but it highlights well what they saw.

Rockford, IL
I was outside of my house looking at the stars, then I saw one of the stars moving across the sky. That's when I realized it wasn't a star. It was moving pretty fast. I thought I was hallucinating. It just blew my mind! I never thought in my life I would see something like it. I was watching it for a solid minute, and then it just disappeared. I tried to record it, but it was too small, and iphone cameras aren't that great.

I was walking my dog on June 7, 2019, between 21:40 and 22:10 hours. I looked up toward the south west sky toward the Pennsylvania turnpike. while watching two planes fly, an elongated and bright orb with a darker center appeared and hovered for a moment before shooting west. it quickly stopped after what appeared to be 3 to 4 feet in the sky from my position. then it disappeared.

We were driving West on route 9 and noticed a cross shaped object hovering slightly south of route 9. We slowed the vehicle down to watch it and then it started moving towards the east.

Took a photo of a ferris wheel and the moon at Wichita, Ks. Reviewing the photo at home I noticed a dashed trail under the moon. What is this? Where can I send this photo?

Shiny silver large disk in sky near cedar crest, hole in the middle with lights. Would hover in 1 place then start turning and spinning, would stop and hover. Was very shiny, hurt our eyes to look at it. Took off into the sky after coming down and going back up.

Indian Orchard, MA
Looking almost to zenith, slightly NE. Saw small metallic sphere above clouds. Moving slowly from roughly N to S. Wind direction was in same general direction. Used cloud motion to gauge direction and speed, assuming Mylar balloon. Object stopped in relation to cloud motion, then moved E before continuing S. Finally lost to sight when blocked by floater.

I have spent most of my working life in the outdoors in Forestry. With four college degrees and being a published author, I’m used to giving accurate, detailed descriptions. Very analytical. This is what I saw on June 7, 2019, a Friday. There are military bases nearby, submarine traffic, shipping lanes, airports in this area. I’m used to seeing different types of military and civilian aircraft. I was standing on the back deck, with a beautiful, mostly sunny day. Jet engine noise made me look into the sky, and something caught my eye, coming from the south, moving very fast! By my calculations, it traveled from directly over my house, to East of Victoria, B.C., in two seconds! Made a 90-degree turn and headed towards Whidby Island and military installations. A small cloud obstructed my view of the turn, but there was no veering out to account for inertia in the turn. That I saw! There seemed to be a shimmer around what looked like, a wing shape, with no fuselage visible. The wing shape was slanted back about 15 to 20 degrees, and a shimmer was around the wing, and a straight edge was visible at the end of the wing shape, on both sides. No fuselage was observable. The leading edge of the wing appeared dark. Looked like a flying wing. And jet engine noise. The estimated distance traveled in two seconds was fifty miles!!! By my calculations…30,000 to 45,000 mph!!! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Addendum to flying wing shimmering and 90 degree turn at speed of: 2 seconds travelling 10 miles Good talking to you, Peter. The following is my best recollection of what I saw. 10 miles is a reasonable distance for the object to have traveled in two seconds and would be traveling at 18,00mph!. At 50 miles, that’s still in U.S. territory and 2 seconds would be about 90,000mph. The background was blue sky when I saw what looked like, a flying wing. That's what it looked like. A loud roar like that of a military jet passed over our house. That's why my wife and I looked up, but I was the only one who saw this object. Three-seconds and it was gone. It came from the direction of the Olympic Mountains, (Mt Olympus is 7900ft.) so I think it was descending. The small cumulus cloud I saw I estimate at 3000ft because 3300ft is the usual lowest altitude for Cumulus clouds, which the object passed through. No way they were at 10,000ft. Using my clinometer, (I am a trained surveyor and forester, also a Navy veteran). I calculated a 10-degree upward slope, at 45 degree azimuth, looking at the object. I immediately went inside the house to draw what I had seen. 10 miles out, towards Canada, is where I think it made a 90-degree turn, heading East. This would coincidentally point it towards military bases in the area. At 10 miles, the calculated speed was 18,000 miles per hour! (2 seconds and 10 miles away) Also coincidence, close to escape velocity of 25,000mph. Slowing down on landing approach? It was in broad daylight and whatever it was, did not appear to be in trouble or care if anyone saw it. I’m not an artist but this the shape of what I saw and the ‘shimmer’ around the flying object: a boomerang shape with a 15 degree back angle on the wings. About double the size of the sun, using your thumb as a reference. Like you said Peter, I hope this is ours. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. However, we question his assumptions about distance and velocity. Witness provides hand-drawn image of what the object looked like to him. PD

I was sleeping and two aliens were in my home in a suit that the screen made them look human. There was another a 3rd one that was tall skinny with a football head that was not in a suit and ran up my stairs. The other two had a green smoke that allowed my dog to sleep and I seen them what look like taking samples of food or putting something in it. I was paralyzed and tried to wake my wife by moving my hand but she would not wake. I told my doctor. This is my second experience with them my first The craft came over my head and hovered. I had witnesses to that.

I was letting my dogs outside and glanced up, when I caught sight of a lightning bug flashing past. I live in the middle of town and was facing West, when I noticed a red-orange crescent shape just in line with some trees. At first I thought it was the moon, because tonight there is a waxing crescent, so I wasn't paying too much attention to it at first. I looked away and back a few times, noting what I thought was a dark, rounded glove or sphere shape with the light curved along one edge, which is why initially thought it was the moon. I glanced away to call my dogs back in, and when I looked back up, the crescent shaped light began to fade. After about 15 more seconds the light faded out completely.

Cluster of 6 very bright blue lights heading from west to southeast, followed shortly by one more. Camera only picked up the bright blue lights, but visually I saw what looked like a balloon or some other object with the blue light hanging below it, maybe 20-50 from a cable feet. Could be a school or festival event, but the object were traveling far faster than cars on a freeway. Light breeze, but objects were traveling at least 60 Mph if not faster. No sound from the lights. Passed overhead maybe at least 200 feet.

At first I saw pulsating lights headed west board that lit up every second leaving a slight visual echo for a total of 5 times. Then from the south, came a small orb. Seemed to very high in the sky, it proceeded north until it suddenly then followed the other craft west bound. This one was much slower. It would pause briefly. It would also do a small circle and then proceed onwards. This took place over 5 minutes until it was out of my sight.
