Dauphin Island, AL
Walked out onto the deck of a vacation rental to look at what I thought might be a lighthouse. When out of the corner of my eye I saw between 6 maybe 7 shadows flying at a high rate of speed just off the shoreline maybe 50 ft above the water level. My 19-year-old son was looking out the window with his hands cupped against the glass to see if he could see the lighthouse saw the same thing. There was no sound nor any explanation that nether of us could come up with.

Carolina Beach, NC
I have witnessed a Silent orange or red small orb shape hovering in one spot for long durations between Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, NC. It just hovers there for like 15 minutes and then it proceeds on a path over the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant in Southport next to the Sunny Point Military Terminal. This has happened on many nights that I have personally witnessed in the past year. Unsure what the silent orange object is but it appears to hover in one spot and have special interest in the nuclear power plant. It may be a drone but it also hovers over beach homes and that makes me uncomfortable as to why it would do that. I am interested in finding out what this is. Please contact me to discuss any way that I can find out. The Carolina Beach Police has no knowledge of this object.

Lakeside, AZ
I was sitting at the lake in my car by myself and looking out the window, when all of a sudden I saw a ball of fire shoot up at an angle up in the sky pretty close and it went in the air for 4 to 6 seconds and then disappeared out of no where. But as it went up in the air behind it was a streak of fire that led up to the big ball of fire. It was the same type of alien craft that I have seen in Kansas traveling from the east coast to west coast with my wife.

Tallahassee, FL
I saw a strange black human shaped object staring at me while I was in the garage of my friend's house. I had my back turned facing the inside of the garage, and when I turn around now facing the outside of the garage, the black thing appeared to be staring at me; however, I could not see it eyes. It was black from head to toe. It appeared to be standing at a profile position near what looked like a low bush. No eyes or facial feature noted- too black. When I attempted to call my friend who had entered his house, I found my voice speechless. Then, it disappeared into thin air! I drew a picture of what I saw and would like to share it with an investigator. We are NOT along in this universe. Of notable mention: The strange object did not appear hostile toward me during the brief encounter. Please know that this is a NOT a HOAX sighting. This occurred in April 2019, and after recent news of aircraft pilots reporting strange sightings, I felt compelled t! o contact this department to share my experience. I had a close encounter with the black object, but no spaceship or strange aircraft was seen.

Superior, ID
While driving on Interstate 90 on a mostly sunny morning on April 21, 2019 (Easter Sunday) at about 8:15am. I was the passenger and was watching a small jet flying above the mountains in the same direction as we were going. It was obviously moving much faster and was increasingly going further east with each second. It was leaving a short jet condensation trail that quickly evaporated. Suddenly I saw a bright reflection off of a second aircraft that was flanking the jet and in what could be considered the “driver’s side blind spot” which was on the left side of the jet but behind it. Neither I, nor my spouse, could see the outline shape of the second flying craft, but could only see it as a “spot” of sun glaring off something metallic. It had just suddenly appeared in the sky and was keeping exact pace with the fast moving jet, HOWVER, it was not leaving any condensation trail behind it like the jet was. It doesn’t seem reasonable that it could have be! en a non-jet engine plane due to its speed. After a minute, both aircraft disappeared behind clouds in the eastern sky on the Idaho Montana border south of I-90. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Teton Village, WY
At approximately 530 in the morning I was driving to work at a hotel in the Teton Village. As I was driving down Moose Wilson road I noticed two huge round cloud formations floating over the Teton mountains. This caught my eye for two reasons, the first being the fact that the sky was clear, 360 degrees around and the second was the fact that the second formation was emitting a vapor trail. I rushed to the parking lot, jumped out of my car and began to search for these clouds. Interestingly enough, the two clouds were now just one. The single cloud began to morph into a flattened shape and break into two more clouds as it moved to the north over the Jackson airport at an approximated altitude of 3000 feet above ground level. At that time two small black disks traveled out of the cloud backwards in my direction and morphed into two more clouds. I ran into the hotel and grabbed the front desk manager telling him to come outside to witness my claim. We watched! for 5 minutes as these clouds again emitted six more disks, each becoming its own cloud. At that time a guest came outside and asked why we were watching those clouds when he himself also saw the clouds change shape and emit two more disks. Both witnesses exclaimed: what the hell is that. The clouds floated further to the north until they were no longer close to our proximity. I am a private pilot and have been flying for over 20 years and never have I witnessed anything like this that defies logic. What we witnessed that morning was not explainable.

Vanore, TN
I was in a very rural area of the rown of Vanore, TN. I was sleeping in my truck outside next to farmland. Very little light polution (Maybe 5%). Crystal clear night sky, April night. 55° Got out of my truck to evacuate, and looked up and immediated saw this huge vapor-trail from something moving at an insanely high rate of speed. It literally covered the entire sky in about 3 seconds. Huge plume left behind. Very quiet. No sound or lights. No glowing object. I could barely track the path with my head turning to follow it. It zipped acriss the sky THAT FAST! I could however actually see the plume cloud rolling in on itself as it expanded. It too was gone in a minute or two. I've seen shooting stars before, but this seemed much lower and closer to earth. I suppose it could have been a meteor etc...but I didn't see and light or steak of light towards the front. Perhaps I missed that part. All I saw waa the contrail or vapor trail it left behind. And it swelled VERY FAST and was churning very rapidly.

Milford, UT
One very bright white light over the top of a mountain, another smaller one next to it that was moving around (occasionally hides behind the big one) and an orange light that would disappear and re-appear closer to the ground than the other two and was moving a lot. When zooming in on these lights with my camera they look like layered rings that expand and shrink in a very erratic way.

Morris, MN
A friend and I were walking around town because of the nice weather; it was late enough that the stars had come out. We're both college students in our early 20s. I was open to the existence of UFOs, but my friend had been a skeptic until the event. As we were walking, we reached an area void of streetlights (near E 4th St and Oregon Ave) and my friend was trying to find some constellations. As he was looking, he exclaimed, "Dude! Look." I looked up just in time to see a triangular shaped craft with three lights fly silently and quickly over our heads and across the sky before flying off into the distance, heading South-West. There were no trees, so we both got a clear view of the craft. Neither of us were certain how large or how high the object was, but it appeared perhaps around 250 feet in the air and around 20 feet long. It flew fast enough that we were only able to watch it for around 5 seconds. We were both confident the object was some sort of UFO.

Black River Falls, WI
4-20-19 about 10:00 pm - I was in the Black River Falls area - heavily wooded - out watching stars and witnessed something that looked like a star to the west - but after watching it for several minutes, realized there were multiple colors circling around. It was a circular object which hovered and moved diagonally, up and down. My son also thought it was emitting beams which could faintly be seen when the clouds were thinly moving through. I thought at first maybe it was a helicopter or a drone but realized where we were and how large of an object this would have had to be to be seen at this distance. Plus there was no noise evidence of a helicopter that might have echoed through the hilly area. At least two adults and my teenage son witnessed this for about an hour. Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star? PD

Nottingham, MD
I was on 695, towards White Marsh Blvd. It was nighttime and I could see an unidentified light in the sky. The further I drove, I realized how close I was to it. The best way I could describe it was a flying object with multi-color, sequential and changing LED lights. The lights changing colors was hypnotizing. The ufo was low enough for me to realize I was driving under it, and then past it. It was slowly hovering over the highway.

El Paso, TX
I have reported this case to the MUFON and received no response despite hours of phone interviews. Months later I had to contact the investigator only to be told that what I saw was indeed unidentified. I have amazing video of what I saw, strange occurrences in the sky within the following day, and strange occurrences that have happened to me after. On the night of April 20, 2019, I was driving down my neighborhood street to the corner gas station. It was a clear, dark desert night. There are no tall trees or obstructions in this area. When I was driving, I saw an odd light pattern in the sky that caught my interest, but as I was driving I was unable to stop. I spent roughly fifteen minutes at the corner store before proceeding back home on the same path I had come. At this time, 9:20 PM, I saw the light pattern again and I was able to safely stop and record. I have a twenty-second video, but I watched for around 10-15 minutes before I could no longer see. What I saw was triangular, with three white lights. The craft was low, too low to be considered normal. Too slow to be considered normal. Too quiet to be considered normal. It would stop for seconds, it would disappear for seconds. It just seemed as it was lazily passing over the neighborhood. It should be noted that there is an airport in my city as well as an Army base, but both are considerably far from where the incident occurred. Very odd things followed for months that I do not wish to publish here but will discuss with a NUFORC member. I truly believe I have caught a UFO in film and the events surrounding will only support the story. I am a scientific person to my core and I have grown up on military bases, so I would not jump to far-fetched conclusions unless I really believed.

Troutman, NC
April 20th, 2019, around 8:45PM EST, we were driving on Highway 21 towards the city of Troutman, when we witnessed a lot of strange lights hovering towards the north, some 35 degrees above the horizon. At some point, we could see between 15 to 20 distinct lights. It was an incredible sighting. When we finally found a safe place to park the lights started to disappear and we did not even have a chance to take a decent picture of it. The lights were moving slowly and randomly, mostly hovering below the lowest clouds and some of the lights even seemed to have entered the clouds. The METAR for the nearby Statesville Airport reported scattered clouds as 3000 feet and broken clouds above 4500. By estimating that the lights were a mere 3000 feet above ground and on a 35 degree above the horizon from us, I estimate them to have been hovering above the Murdock Rd area, between interstate 77 and Barium Springs. Our position as observers was at 35°41'25"N 80°52'07"W. I am an aviation enthusiast and have a couple dozen hours of flying time as a pilot. I am aware of when I see something out of the ordinary. Has anybody else seen or taken a picture/video of this?

Perdido Key, FL
My friend and I had just gotten done eating at the Crab Trap at Perdido Key, FL. It was just after sunset when we were looking at the stars and had to use the bathroom at the resteraunt. As we were waking in, we noticed a bright orange light at about 1,000 feet AGL flying over from the north horizon (we are both pilots with hundreds of flight hours and my friend has thousands), but we didn’t think much of it. Aircraft lights have strobes and position lights at night. This was just one single bright orange light that moved from north to south until it slowly flickered out right over the ocean. After we came back out, another one caught our eyes flying the same flight path. We watched as they passed overhead. Time in sight for each one was about 2-3 minutes and it was the same 2-3 minute incriminates they were spaced apart. We watched in the parking lot(and my friend has always been a skeptic but he was baffled) No sound, no propeller or jet noise. The bright o! range light was torch-like in that it looked like a lightly flickering torch or fireball moving across the sky. It was the size of an aircraft seen from about 1k feet high but circle shaped. Very squarely stuff going. on. Report submitted by U. S. Navy pilot. PD

Jacksonville, FL
Then I asked it without the laser and it flashed extremely bright again in response. It made me cry because i was able to communicate with it and get an actual response in return! It was the best thing ever! After it left over my area, it headed SE and did not flash again that bright. It came from the NW direction from where I live. When we first posted this report to our website, we labeled it as a probable hoax. However, the source assures us that it is not a hoax, and that she submitted it as a sincere report. We apologize for having mislabeled the report, and we post it again, without any editorial comment. PD

Valparaiso, IN
At first, I saw what appeared to be a regular airplane, as seen from a distance, flying diagonally upward and leaving a trail of smoke in its path. Looking closer, I noticed there were three smaller, thinner horizontal trails of light beneath this larger light. Next to the "airplane" was another large light, which looked like a fireball with a trail of light behind it. It, too, was flying upward at first, but then switched direction, looking like it was facing the direction of my house. It also changed color, from yellow to red, before changing directions again (heading downward). Over the course of approximately 15 minutes, these five lights shifted directions several times. At one point, an airplane was flying toward one of the lights, and as soon as the airplane got too close, the light vanished. Eventually, the lights began to disappear. Some dived into the horizon while others simply faded away.

Bismarck/Mandan (between), ND
My daughter, 10yrs old, boyfriend 27yrs old, and self were driving across The Memorial Bridge and had just come from a helicopter ride in Bismarck, North Dakota (they were giving these to raise money for charity) part of this "ride" was to go up the river. So we were driving over the bridge and watching the helicopter we were just in go up the river, when suddenly this white sphere looking thing appeared in the air (like it just blinked into existence) and was spinning it was about a 1/2 city block from the bridge and hanging over the water, about the size of a geo metro (weird comparison I know lol) it suddenly expanded and started to resemble a wheel with bicycle spokes it was still spinning (clockwise) and had this swirling like mass in the center of it. the wheel, spokes and mass were all a white/grey color and I instantly thought "OMG its a dimensional portal opening!!" I slowed down as there was nobody else on the bridge (which was kinda weird at this time of day) and it expanded to about the size of a basketball court (another weird comparison lol) either way it was huge. and It stayed this size for about 5 seconds. then like stopped spinning and went in reverse and started shrinking in size back to the geo metro size it started with and then got smaller and blinked out of existence. we all saw this object, and once it disappeared I drove down to sit under the bridge to see if it would come back and it did not. while we were down there I made everyone draw what they saw and we all compared drawings and it was weird cause my kid saw some kind of symbols within it. (I will send the drawings of the object for your report. anyway very odd. my brother also had a very strange incident happen at our lake cabin last summer (Lake Sakakawea) that I would like to report. There was missing time involved with my brothers encounter. Anyway that is my report.
