Pine Springs, TX

I was flying on Southwest 2168 on 16 January 2019, flying between Las Vegas, NV, and San Antonio, TX. While admiring the beautiful Guadalupe Mountains National Park in West Texas, my eyes settled on an aircraft that soon entered my field of view. It was haze gray in color, spherical or perhaps saucer-shaped, and hung in the sky to the left of my plane at about 20 degrees below the horizon. As it drifted under the wing I tried to make out the direction it was traveling or any wings I could discern but could not. My plane's wing eventually obscured the object and I was unable to relocate it. I thought it was just another aircraft until a just few minutes later when an approaching airliner flew safely past my plane, streaking contrails as it did. It was only then that I realized the object I had seen had produced no contrails whatsoever and may have not even been moving. The sighting occurred about 9 AM CST. SWA 2168 was flying at 41,000 feet and was somewhere south of Pine Springs, TX. I estimate the object was 5-10k feet below my plane though it is difficult to gauge the size/distance of something unfamiliar.

Harwich, MA

An odd cloud formation was discovered in two photos taken during a nature walk. It appears to be a small, solitary vortex created by an aircraft or other object traveling at high speed. It was a cloudless winter morning, and I don’t recall hearing any aircraft, when I photographed some backlit phragmites against a background of blue sky. Upon later review of my photos, I noted the small bright vortex cloud in IMG_3842. I created a cropped version of this image to get a closer look at it. IMG_3843, taken a second or two later, also shows the same vortex cloud contours, but faintly. I am not suggesting a UFO caused this odd cloud, but would like to know if any similar images have been reported to NUFORC. I had never before seen anything like this.

Creswell, OR

I awoke at 640 am and stepped outside to smoke a cigarette and I observed 3 bright lights in a perfect triangle, way up in the sky towards the south east.. At first I thought they were stars but I looked around and there was zero stars in the sky. And they were in a perfect triangle. When the clouds passed in front of the lights the lights moved together very slowly out of the way. I woke up my son and he saw them as well. Then in a second they took off very fast almost looking like they went straight up. The most unusual thing was they kept moving out from behind the clouds. Very interesting

I witnessed 3 craft in a wide triangle formation. They were thin maybe cigar shaped. They had red oscillating or blinking lights. I thought maybe they were planes or helicopters but there was no noise and they absolutely did not move for 20+ minutes. I did record them on my phone but they were a bit far off. They were still there when I left because I had to take my daughter to get her school bus.

I will keep this as short as possible, but I will include as much detail as I can. For 5 nights in a row, beginning around 2 A.M. cst. a bright light appears in my west directed bedroom window, on the second story of my house. The light, beginning as a sort of white light with orange undertones, pulsates. It gets brighter and then dims down. This goes on for about an hour. Around 3 o'clock A.M. cst. the light goes dim and then all of a sudden my entire room is lit up with a hot pink light that is so bright it burns my eyes. I tell my boyfriend and of course he thinks I am losing my mind. He fails to tell me that the first night the light appeared in my window, he and his buddy were in the shooting stand, coyote hunting, when they saw a bright light to the west, that rose up just over the tree tops moved further to the west a little bit and then lowered back down behind the trees I've tried to record it but the video always cuts off a minute or 2 into the recording and twice my laptop has completely factory reset itself, erasing everything on it. It is quite annoying. The nights I was awake for this event, as the pink light begins to fade, I get this feeling that not only is something or someone looking at me thru my window, but I also get this feeling of extreme exhaustion. And I end up passed out wherever I am sitting at that time. Last night, January 16th, at 2 A.M. cst. My boyfriend tells me that while I'm asleep in my bed and he is in the shooting house, he watches this light, just as before, rise up over the trees, move to the west, and lower back down behind the tree line. Just as I had seen the nights before. He also states that the object emits a dull roar, like an aircraft would make. It seems to be moving away from us, but it just happens to be right over a significant place in history that is off limits to the public. I know, I sound crazy, but I have 2 other people who will confirm my story and i hope someone else comes forward with their account of this event. I'm not sure what it is, but its not the first strange thing that has happened in the skies over our house. This is just the first time I have thought to report it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

We suspect the object may have been "twinkling" stars. PD

While driving East on County Rd. 42, I witnessed a bright white circle shoot down at approximately a 90-degree angle oriented behind the Fairview Ridges Hospital. The object left no trail and was larger than what could be interpreted as a shooting star or any other celestial body.

Oakdale, NY

Watching television (Seth Meyers Late Night Show) in living room on couch beside shadeless window which overlooks open wetlands. +/- 00:40AM, a bright light green colored glowing sphere about the size of a basketball from my point of view became visible approximately 50' above the ground, perhaps 200' away, instantly appearing against a dark sky. The object descended rapidly below treetop level within a group of trees to approximately 20', made a 90-degree turn and sped off in a southerly direction showing a slight bright white haze on the trailing hemispherical north-facing side, but after perhaps 200' of perfect horizontal travel, the object disappeared or went dark itself. There was no associated noise as would be heard with a drone. It was silent. I ran outside, but no sounds could be heard, no object could be seen. No aircraft in the area at the time. Incredible experience. I wish I had my camera on hand. This is all the information that I can r! ecall.

Quincy, MA

As we were driving in Quincy, MA, my wife and I both saw a green fireball traveling low at rocket speed. The fireball was bright green and has a trail of thin white smoke, that quickly disappeared. The area it was flying is assumed to be above Braintree or further down RT 3.

West Ocean City, MD

I saw something that was about double the size of a hang glider and about 150-200 ft off the ground made no noise and was moving South to North at about 20mph, it didn't have any lights on or anything like that but I could just barely tell something was there from all the emitting street light, had eyes on it for about 20 seconds.

Smith Valley, NV

It was around 9 p.m. and I had just got home. As I started to walk inside I noticed a weird bright orange light that stuck out. I stopped and looked at it and it slowly hovered up higher in the sky, then it started to slowly move forward and when it did lights started flashing on it. I could hear it also. Then it just disappeared into the night. This isn't the first time I've seen it either. It or other UFOs that look the same seem to come around every night for about a week or so, and then I won't see or hear them for awhile and they come back.

Penfield, NY

I saw 3 non-blinking lights in a triangular formation flying low and slow. It was moving North/ North East. It was at most only 30 degrees above the horizon. We were facing south. I could tell it was not an airplane instinctively due to the lights not blinking and the strange triangle formation. I said "do you see that" and pointed. The driver said "yes" and slowed the vehicle and pulled over to the right side shoulder of the road so we could watch it and get a better look. We both knew immediatly this was something unusual. As we sat in the motionless car on the side of the road, the 3 lights came closer and closer and passed by us light 2 ships crossing paths in the night. We watched as "it" floated past us on the right and we could see underneath it as it was almost directly above us. In fact, it would have been directly above the golf course about 50 to 100 feet to our right. And was about 100-300 feet up in the air. As is travelled a straight path from directly ahead of us due south, over the golf course and finally off towards the skyline of Rochester it broke our visual contact behind the trees that bordered the golf course. It covered about a half mile in the minute or so we had visual contact so it was moving about 30mph. I call it an "it" because we saw the body of it. We saw all 3 lights were fixed to 1 vehicle/object that was clearly a triangle or triangular prism. We couldnt see the top as only the bottom was illuminated by the 3 lights, so it may have been a triangular prism. But we could see the matte black solid figure of a rigid craft because it blocked the moonlit sky and stars as it passed. I'll never forget the triangle shape blocking out the stars as it passed, visually showing where the edges were. The lights illuminated the hull, and the lights illuminated the cloud/fog cover around it such that we could see it was clearly 1 solid object. It was not 3 orbs of light. It was a solid craft that had distinct edges and a distinct shape. We saw not just the lights, but the distinct "hull," body or whatever you want to call it. We confirmed with each other what we just saw and he pulled up onto the empty road and finished driving home almost speechless.

One round gold color round shaped light appeared in the sky, one second later a 2nd round light identical in appearance appeared, another second later a 3rd identical one appeared all lined up in a perfect horizontal line and evenly spaced. As soon as the 3rd light appeared they were gone. We never saw any movement. This was out in the country and no other lights around, no obstructions. Was a very clear night and they were about plane height in the sky.

It was slightly raining, we were walking west on Beverly in LA. My friend saw it first. It looked like a leaf falling, but also hovering sideways. It was black round and flat.

Billings, MT

I was driving home from church with my mom, when I saw two shapes in the sky. They were right next to each other. I could easily tell that one of the shapes was moving and was indeed a plane producing contrails. The other object, however, was not moving. It was at a standstill in the sky. It was a diamond shaped object. We sat at the light for about 4 minutes and the whole time the second object didn't move. With each passing minute, the plane got farther away and I could tell it was by the contrails coming out of the plane. The object didn't move at all, in the few minutes my mom and I sat at the light.

Orange Beach, AL

Standing outside center of island facing West, HUGE fireball the size of a house comes flying over my right shoulder from the East, parallel to the gulf. I was on the phone and I screamed. It was definitely in our atmosphere, at an altitude of around 15,000 feet. I was prepared to hear a catastrophic boom, but I never heard a point of contact. It was flaming and hundreds of thousands of times larger than any shooting star I see here regularly.

Georgetown, MA

I was 1 mile south of exit 53B on I-95 south. I saw a green light about 100 feet high, to my left, out at least a few hundred yards, traveling south also. It was moving at least twice as fast as me and I was going 75mph. I saw it for a total of about 5 second and it disappeared once it was a about 200 feet past me. It flew straight, not up or down at all and I couldn't hear it at all. I couldn't see any shapes. Possibly a meteor I assume but I honestly have no idea.

Glenpool, OK

Heard very strange noises similar to a frog but much louder and higher pitched across the street and a few houses away. It got closer very quickly, faster than someone could run. It sounded like more than 1 and was in my backyard all of a sudden. My cat started freaking out so I knew something was outside. I felt like I was being watched and I'm not one to get spooked. There is no possible way to get into my backyard. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
