Philadelphia, PA
I'm an Uber driver, so I spend a lot of later nights out. I was taking a break waiting for something to happen with work, and I was on the phone with my wife. I was leaned back in the seat looking up through the sunroof, a habit I developed because of an interest in the UFO subject, when I saw something in the sky. I told my wife, and she said to get off the phone and try to record it. I got out of my car and looked up and saw a craft, shaped like a letter t, or a cross. The best way I can describe it is, the horizontal line of the cross was very close to the top, almost like an uppercase T. It was illuminated, but not like, from lights, like the craft it self was emitting the light. And it was silent, like ZERO SOUND. By the time I took all of this in, I realized I was still holding my phone and was able to snap a few quick pictures. It all took less than a minute. I'm not good with guessing the height of something in the air, but it wasn't very high up, ma! ybe helicopter height. Like a few hundred to a thousand feet up. It was moving very fast, I was facing north,it was traveling from West to East, and again completely silently. I know what a plane, helicopter,and drones sound like and this wasn't any of those. I'm positive because while I was still looking up, hoping it would turn around, and I could get some video, a helicopter sped by very loudly in the same direction. I'm almost certain it was chasing the craft. I went that same night on Reddit to post any the experience, and see if anyone else has seen it. I got a response from a guy who said he was on I95 north, and he and his girlfriend had seen a strange craft in the sky. I'm sure it was the same one, 95 north would have been to the east, the same direction the craft was going.

Racine, WI
At 12:13am on January 6, 2019, me and my girlfriend saw an object shaped like a diamond with 4 lights directly above us...they appeared to be stars, at first, but only a few hundred feet above. We stopped the car and got out, as we looked for about 5 seconds out of the car it began to take off slow than really fast till we chased it for 10 seconds in the car before we lost sight of it headed over Milwaukee... Object moved like a stealth plane making no noise and made turns left to right normal air crafts don't. but again I could see thru it as it copied the night sky.

Spiceland, IN
It was pretty late at night, but my dad, my brother, and I had to do some work outside a little ways from home. My brother and I were outside while my dad was in a building for the time being. We both were looking in about the same direction, but I had been looking towards the sky quite a bit that night. As I was looking up in roughly a northeast direction, I saw a bright white circle appear. As soon as I saw it, I alerted my brother and he immediately looked up as well. Before he looked, I saw the object do a full loop, then quickly fly up and away into another direction in an arc. The object was very fast and a decent size, yet it was very far away. It made no noise that I could hear. I asked my brother if he saw it and what he saw, and he said that it looked yellow and that he didn’t see it loop, but saw it fly away in an arc. That is all I could get from it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Talbotton, GA
On January 5th, 2019, at 8:30 pm my 15 year old son and I were staying overnight at our hunting club in Taylor County, Ga. The area is very rural and at least 10 to 12 miles from the nearest towns located between Talbotton, Ga, and Butler, Ga. There was no light pollution whatsoever and a clear night. Our tent had gotten wet inside due to a lot of rain the past few weeks, so we ended up sleeping in our truck parked in a small field at our hunting club. While sitting in the truck wasting time surfing the internet on our cell phones my son noticed a bright object far up in the sky and asked me what it was. At first I thought it was a planet or star just brighter and standing out from the other stars. The object then began moving from side to side, up and down, circular motions and straight lines. At this time, we both became excited and curious as to what this thing was. We began filming the object with our cell phones the best we could. As the object moved around it appeared to change shape from a ball of white light to a bluish color, then yellowish and red colors. + At times the outer edges of the circular object would look fuzzy and flash from dim to bright and change shapes as it moved. We continued to watch this thing for at least 30 minutes while we talked back and forth about what it could be and if anyone would believe us even though we have video of it on our cell phones. The object simply disappeared in less than a blink of an eye as 3 to 4 Airplanes were approaching in its direction. Needless to say it took us a long time to fall asleep that night and overslept the next morning till 11:00 a.m. when we were supposed to be in our deer stands by daybreak. I've never seen anything like it in my life and I've been in Law Enforcement for 34 years .

we saw about 10-15 lights flying from the west to the east, they we're not blinking, and in no particular formation. they changed in speeds before they completely disappeared, then we saw 2 more that we're way behind. my FAA app on my phone had no planes, so was either a military operation, or completely unidentifiable with no flashing red/green lights. i took a video with 2 cellphones, but it was to dark to see anything

Object description: sphere, color silver and shined downward in a strip of light. We were in a heavily populated area, Bal Harbour Miami, when i looked up at the sky to see a hovering plane passing by, i starred amazed because I initially thought it was something the plane dropped, so, the UFO was under a plane at first but kept its velocity and didn't have a parabolic movement as an object would have been released from the plane. It kept its velocity without any acceleration until we lost trace of it because it was so far away by then.

it was a sphere, it looked silver and was under a plane. i initially thought it was something the plane dropped, but it continued its trajectory like it had propulsion. it shined continuously and at the same rate.

Cincinnati, OH
-Background: I have no pertinent professional background, but have an interest in astronomy and bird watching, so I spend a lot of time on my back deck observing the cosmos with a telescope and watching birds with a spotting scope. I live a few miles north of CVG intl. airport with my deck facing west, so I also use my spotting scope to track the occasional plane as they approach along a southern trajectory. -Moment of sighting + description of craft: I was in my back yard (no scope) staring roughly WSW trying to get a good view of the Aquarius constellation for several minutes when I noticed the object moving at what appeared to be a fairly low altitude, though I could not discern with certainty, along a NNW to SSE trajectory at an extremely high velocity. The object virtually flew right over my head (seemed to be less than 1/4 mile to the west), yet it was 100% silent. It is difficult to estimate its size, as I could only make out the lights and not the body of the craft itself. The lights numbered between 6 and 10 and were arranged in a triangle. They were very dim, such that if I hadn't already been looking in that direction with my pupils adjusted to view the dim starlight I certainly wouldn't have seen it. The lights didn't blink or change at all, and also lacked any discernable hues, appearing to be a dim grey shade. It traveled in a straight line and was out of sight in a matter of 10 seconds or less, seemingly covering several miles in that brief window of time.

We were standing there looking in the sky trying to figure out what the objects were. Then objects started moving East from our area where we first saw them. They were still pulsating off and on and moving Eastward. Seemed that we’re over head at first, then far away before we knew it. I told a young lady that had witnessed the same thing to get a video of the objects before they disappear out of view. Which we have. By the time she started recording the objects were faraway from where we were at. They seem like stars. Then one object stayed on it seemed and started traveling in a straight line going southern direction. Came to a stop. Which at this time it looked like a bright star in the sky. I was focused on that object when all of a sudden to the left of object another object started to glow like the first one. They were at the same level in a straight line. Then they disappeared. Afterwards, I had notice on my sunglasses yellow dust was on my lens and powder of some sort was on my black hoodie sweater. If someone wants to collect samples let me know and I won’t wash it. It was a clear sunny day and could see the objects very clearly.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mammoth Lakes, CA
While on a ski trip to Mammoth, we witnessed what we first thought was a drone hovering above us. We couldn’t get a handle on its size or distance for several minutes as it didn’t make any sense to what we knew was possible. It was shaped like a very shiny Tic Tac, perhaps 10 feet long. It was hovering then would drop and ascend very rapidly. My 14 year old step daughter became quite afraid, while I assured her it had to be some sort of drone, but I don’t think any of us was buying my story. We watched it for the duration of the chair lift, the group behind us seeing it as well. After about 8 minutes it flew off into the interior of Yosemite. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

As one can clearly ascertain in the videos captured, the background consisted of the object in question, the early morning sky, birds flying occasionally overhead, with a condensation trail left behind by a passing jet, and trees present in the horizon. In our opinion, it was much too distant to have been some sort of drone, and moved much too quickly in various random directions to have been a passing aircraft.

Portland, TX
I had recently started star gazing often at night because of a high occurrence of shooting stars in the area and sometimes in the early morning hours I would see satellites or space debris reflecting through the air. Recently Trump had threatened his nuclear weapon button was bigger in response to North Korea Nuclear tension via Twitter so my assumption for a while for what I had viewed that night was it was a defense test or Space-X Rocket Launch from the Brownsville, TX, location. I did not report this incident initially, as coming from a military family and having been educated in Mechanical Engineering, I assumed what I saw was a missile defense deflection test in preparation for any foreign nuclear attack. I walked outside and looked around the sky trying to allow my eyes to adjust to the darkness which would allow me to see stars and satellites easier as sometimes being next to a larger city the stars can be harder to locate. The night sky was clear enough from cloud coverage for me to be able to locate stars in any direction. About 2 minutes after being outside I noticed a group of 3 stars around 72 degrees east that were brighter than when my head had panned that direction previously. Now visually fixated on these objects, I noticed that the objects were tracking NE in regards to my position and phone compass. Being the large pessimist I am, I tried to downplay what I was seeing and assumed them to be air planes of some type. But there were no strobe lights or jet sounds so I thought these to be space debris for a moment. As a few seconds go by, I realize that it seems as if these equidistant 3 white orb objects are traveling in triangle formation. There roughly at abou! t 35 degrees upwards in relation to my point of view. Only about 10 or 15 seconds into the ordeal I made a split second decision not to go grab my phone (stupid) in a selfish act to keep watching the event unfold as I had never seen anything like this before but being someone well versed in mathematics and engineering was convincing myself with logical thinking what I was seeing was nothing to be excited about. Calmly, I watched at about 45 seconds into the entire event as a middle orb seemed to appear out of thin air. The objects began to track back towards the eastward direction slowly but changing directions simultaneously with each other moments after the arrival of the new orb. Remaining equidistant to the new object the three whitish orbs slowly started de-accelerating to a full stop in coordination with the new orb the air. Levitating there for a few more moments as the event reached the 1 minute mark. The original 3 orb objects at this time started moving around as i! f they were trying to push this new orb that appeared by directing themselves underneath the new orb. The original orbs were starting to move around the new orb erratically unlike anything I have ever seen before. Zig Zag patterns is the best description but staying equidistant from the new orb object. At this time I noticed strobe lights of airplanes coming from a local air force base heading towards the objects coming from the Southeast direction at 116 degrees. As the jets made it to around 75 degree east track the new orb surrounded by the original moving orbs started to glow orange slowly. Over a period of 20 seconds the new orb grew to be larger and larger and seemed to gain luminosity as bright as the sun in the night sky but only in that area of the sky. It looked like an atmospheric re-entry of a large object but the other objects around it seemed to speed up during this process. The orb toward the right of formation shot off faster than I have ever seen anything travel in my entire life. It covered around 6 inches of sky in less than! a 1 second span. I assumed this object was traveling mach 5 or 6 but there was no explosion or sounds. All I could hear were the jets at this time that were now approaching it within my range of view and most definitely theirs. It was obvious these jets were tracking these objects. The orb that traveled away from the formation went like a chord through a circle in regards to my visible atmosphere. In less mathematical descriptive terms, the object was like if you were to have shot a bullet through the top portion of an orange. The object was moving so fast it almost looked as a shooting star would have in regards to speed but this object was more gathered and had no comet tail or sparks. The new glowing orb faded and each orb slowly one by one flickered/disappeared from plain site. Whether these objects just traveled beyond the atmosphere slowly or not..they just vanished. After not being able to confirm that there was a space x launch and others in the area reported seeing the same thing I took it upon myself to report it. As a credible witness soon to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in both Mathematics and Psychology… What I saw is definitely artificial. I would assume at this time it is advanced defensive or just raw technology possessed by the United States Government being it was so closely after the nuclear arms arguments. This is why I did not report it for a while but now I realize if it is an adversary that has the technology. These objects are being reported around US military bases frequently. Reports like this might be useful into tracking the origin. Regardless of my opinions..it does not change the visual event that occurred. So I decided to come forward with the report even though people usually are shunned for this type of thing.

The object was mostly a deep blue color with bright orange and yellow around the trailing edge. It moved in an arc down towards the ground. It appeared to have gone down somewhere on Hwy 316 estimating from my house. There was no sound. The sphere was the size of a full moon but in closer proximity.

Well over a hundred little blinking dots was heading South. They were in a scattered formation across the sky. They were flying so fast as if the sky was moving. They were very high up, and to high to be a airplane.

I was driving in my apartment complex with my mother after dropping my brother off at his apt when I seen a reddish orange light in the sky. Then almost immediately more appeared there were three in a row vertically and one each on the left and right of the vertical line. There may have been a couple more but I didn’t have time to count them all accurately. They were stationary in the sky and seems to glow a bit. We stopped at the mail center and my mom got out of the car and I asked her what are those and that’s when she seen them as well. She said they weren’t moving and that she heard sirens. After we parked the car at our apt about a block away we got out and could still see a few of them but our vision was blocked by trees. I called my brother and told him to look out his balcony to see if he can see them. He stated that he could and when entering his house he seen them as well but didn’t think anything of it at first. My mother and I decided to walk to the gazebo down by the lake where there would be a better view. My brother still on the phone with me decided to walk down to meet us. He said that he could only see one or two and that one looked like it was going into the other. By the time we got to the clearing they all disappeared. I’m not really certain what it was that we saw but I feel it could have been UFOs. If anyone has alternative theories or know what they were that would be great to know.

I was driving on the Hwy in between the town's of Jefferson,Oregon and Stayton,Oregon and I just passed through the town of Marion, Oregon, and came to the only stop sign on that road when I looked up in the night sky towards the east when I saw a orange ball of light moving at a high rate of speed from the south to the north! It had no flashing FAA lights and after about 45 seconds to a minute it turn more red then orange and changed the direction from south to north to more the direction of N.NE AND before I knew it it disappeared the wind is blowing hard tonight about 25 to 35 mph, to fast for any kind of drone to be flying!!!

3 bright dots of light not stars. Flashing green, red, blue? From my perspective, appear in the sky, directly in line with Callaway nuclear plant. Strobing but not moving. Miles apart from each other. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
