Miami Beach, FL

The time was 11:05 PM Friday Nov 24 (sic. November 23rd), in the evening, when I suddenly observed in the sky somewhat of a round object approximate size of a basketball in relative to the distance hovering over the sky in a fixed position. For the first 3 minutes of my observation, I was trying to figure out what the heck that was. Myself as a private pilot flying small airplanes, I immediately knew it's not an airplane, since its orientation and the configurations of the colors did not match an airplane’s wing tip colors, and again at times it was stationary, neither was it a chopper because it had absolutely no sound, it was flashing multiple red beacon lights, and at times it introduced some other colors like a greenish yellowish in a shape of a ball. But as I say again predominantly the colors were flashing red lights. The best way I can describe it, it looked like a round half cut up basketball with the round part facing me. I was fascinated and couriers so I took out my phone camera and started filming. As I was holding my phone against the object of course I did not have a steady hand because at the same time I was also watching it with my eyes. Now 15 to 20 seconds after starting my filming, it started moving very very slowly like inching away towards the north direction, and suddenly, literally like a lightning strike, it just sped away as fast as a blink of an eye. Again as I say as a pilot I knew it's not an airplane or a helicopter, and then I was definitely convinced that it wasn't a drone either. I couldn't see where it went since I have an overhead roof as I was facing south and the object left in the north direction. I thought maybe I should report it to the law enforcement or to the FAA, so I called the Miami ARTC but I did not get an answer. I then called the Miami Control Tower and no answer either. I was also trying to get in touch with the Miami Approach or Miami Center, since it was originally hovering over the Miami international airport East departure route, but I could not locate a number for them. So I called UFO Reporting Agency perhaps they may inform the FAA in that jurisdiction. It was definitely a strange phenomena which I have never actually witnessed before.. In total time I probably observed it 3 minutes prior to filming. I will send you a link of the video footage if I'm successful in doing so through my mobile device. I will leave you my number in the event you want to connect with me for any reason. ((name deleted)) 718 XXX-XXXX please do not publish this number anywhere !! Thank you ((name deleted))

Scottsdale, AZ

We went outside on the patio and noticed a light in the sky, making erratic movements intermittently. There was some kind of hazy aura around the object. It appeared to be low in the sky and then disappeared. We live very close to Scottsdale Airpark and see planes in the flight path daily. There were other planes flying to and from the airpark when we noticed this object, which was very different from the planes flying last night and during other times we have seen them. It was very obviously not an airplane but we have no other idea what it could have been. We spoke with both witnesses to the event, husband and wife, and we found them both to be quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that they are highly reliable witnesses. PD

Terre Haute, IN

My grandmother and I were on our way home from my doctor's appointment, we started driving down exit 7 off of 70 when we could see a large object hovering above the street lights. I asked her "Is that a helicopter? What is that?" And she said "It's probably a helicopter." As we got closer we could definitely tell it was not a helicopter. It was black, a triangle shape but also kind of diamond shaped, like it had a belly/rounded bottom and top (sorry it's hard to explain the shape it was so unusual), with orange lights around the edges. My mind kept repeatedly telling me it was just a helicopter even though I knew it wasn't, and I just kinda froze in place as I stared at it. My grandma kept saying "get your camera, take a picture!" And I just couldn't move I was so shocked at what I was seeing. We drove through the intersection with the other cars, and made our way back home. Then we just kind of forgot about it up until recently. There's no way the other cars didn't see it. I said there were only 2 witnesses, my grandma and I, but there were at least 4-5 other cars with us, and idk how many more before us/after us that had to of seen it.

Edwards, NY

I was in the car headed home from Christmas shopping with my mother in law and my two-year-old son. We were on the road that I live on and it happens to be a back road. I rounded a corner and there was a deer in the road so I slowed down to a stop. As we crested the hill and started to speed up I noticed an object in the sky on the passenger side of the vehicle, I pointed to it and noted that it looked like a planet (big and bright) but it was far too big. It stayed stationary and we pointed it out to my son, but at a certain point my mother in law noted that it appeared to be getting bigger and moving closer to us. Seconds later it was near us and we acknowledged that it was a round object with white/yellow lights and a red light on the bottom. I slowed down to look at it and by then it was huge and close to the car. It was still round, but I noticed three white/yellow lights in a circular shape with a large red light in the center. It hovered over the treetops and by then it was huge, larger than my car. I got nervous and decided to start driving again and as I started to move it moved to the other side of the road and disappeared. My mother in law and I were stunned and couldn’t believe what we had seen, it was the strangest thing we had ever seen. We talked about it the day after it happened and recalled that while it was large and right over top of us we never once heard any noise, and the radio was off (we had been talking). The sheer size of the object in comparison to our car was also something that we noted as well as the lights lighting up the inside of our car briefly while it was over us. The entire encounter lasted right around 2-3 minutes and the incident occurred 2 miles from where we live.

Wheeling, IL

I am a retired ex-IT professional (15+ years, degreed, ex-ACM member). I was northbound on Illinois I-94 at approx. 5:15pm CT, near the Dundee exit, in/near Wheeling, IL. Traffic was fairly heavy, I kept to the right-hand lane. Initially, a white semi- ahead of me appeared to be having difficulty staying in the lane, drifting onto the shoulder every so often; I remained substantially behind him for a mile or so, eventually he pulled onto the shoulder. [It occurred to me later that perhaps he'd also seen the UFO and was dumbfounded or panicked and might be communicating via CB.] Shortly thereafter, I glanced to my right and observed a triangular craft for several seconds, solid black against the night sky, with very large globular (warning?) lights at the apices, these emitting a fairly bright but dark red glow [Wikipedia: approx. 650? nm], easily seen against the night sky. The form appeared to be equilateral, with no reflective qualities; impossible to gauge its dimensions. I could not discern any sound. My velocity was approx. 55mph; the object appeared almost stationary but seemed to be traveling southbound because of it's orientation, i.e. it was 'pointed' southward, and seemed to be paralleling the highway. I have been attempting to guesstimate its size -- at best I'd say its elevation was 100 to 150 feet and perhaps 100 to 150 feet on a side, but I could be off significantly, there were no reference points. What astonished me most was the size of the globular 'lights', they were quite large, possibly the diameter of a quarter held two feet away, so that the distance between a fore- and aft- light may have been 20-25 such diameters? [conjecture] I lost sight of it after perhaps 10 seconds of travel; I did not have time (and did not think) to attempt photographing it with my cellphone... Recognition was immediate [have been a Coast fan for 20 years and am familiar with Peter's reports of similar craft]. I was astonished at the circumstantial nature of this sighting and uttered a few choice expletives, never having thought I'd actually see one of these. I felt...vindicated in a sense, and quite excited, being a firm believer in such phenomena given the massive evidence available.

Wayland, MI

I was looking up at the sky and at about North West, I saw two very bright "Stars." I was scanning the sky while letting the dog out and saw the full moon just to the left of Orion which was about due West. I continued scanning East and saw Jupiter behind me at about NWW. As I began scanning back to look at Orion, I noticed two very bright "stars", brighter than Jupiter. I thought to myself, these weren't here a minute ago. So I just stared at them and they just began fading away to nothing. They were not moving that I could tell, just fading away the way a very bright shooting star fades, but not as quickly, and at the same exact pace. These objects were the distance away from each other approximately the distance of half the constellation Orion.

Pacific City, OR

A bright light quickly flashed a large oval-shaped beam into my bedroom from a large window located up high on the south facing window. The window sits between 17 and 20 feet above ground level. It happened again around 3 minutes later. It was so bright, and again focused in a large oval-like beam. It flashed 2 more times for a total of 4 times within 10 minutes.

Danbury, CT

Saw this very bright light in the sky and it seemed to change colors, took out my camera which has a very good zoom and zoomed in as far as it went. When looking at it closely, it was a very bright sphere, that kept changing colors and disappearing every 5 seconds. Everytime it disappeared, it took the form of an atom. The color change and disappearance were very fast. I was amazed with the shape it had, looked like an atom, full of circles around it.. I have a couple of videos!

Cocoa, FL

3:08 am Tuesday oct 22 the m laying on the hood of my truck looking up at the small stars scattered all over the sky when I realize all the small balls of light are actually moving all over the sky they range from small to big and different colors and brightness. I started to think I was crazy because every single one would move in any direction the either disappear into another light in the general area or it would break apart into either one or even up to 5 different color balls of light. Then each ball of light would dance around each other at random distances and come back together I to one light. Every few minutes at a random area in the sky these balls of light would flash a light towards another ball of light. It’s amazing the whole sky is covered with moving star like objects that move around random directions starting at one ball of light and break up int a number of different options this has been going on for hours. My opinion they are intelligent! ly operated.

Object maintained course moving north and at about 45 degrees, it faded away. Didn’t not follow any flight paths in the area. No blinking or pulsing lights. No sounds were distinct. And for reference a helicopter and plane flew over within 60 seconds of occurrence and were very audible. This thing was orange and glowing. Brightest thing in the sky besides the full moon. Like the orange of a traffic controller. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Above us were lights moving straight through the sky, it seemed to he somewhat of a cigar shape and made bo noise. From the looks of the bright blue and red lights, it looked very close, but with the windows rolled down it didn't make a sound.

Lake Charles, LA

UFO encounter happened on a backroad right outside the Lake Charles in the southern region of Calcasieu parish. It occurred at a stop sign in front of a cow field, November 22nd of 2018, at exactly 9:45p.m.. I was heading back to my house from my family’s thanksgiving party and my girlfriend was with me when we were at a stop sign and saw a white orb like light hovering about 25 yards above a tree line in the back of a cow field. We were to notice the white light was being emitted from a dark pyramid/triangular like aircraft and within 10 seconds the white light changed into a burst of green light and with the burst the aircraft vanished. Later that night at my house, I asked my girlfriend what she could remember. She said there was an outline of a triangular shape with light coming from the base, then there was a ball of green light and the figure disappeared. We tried to see if it matched the description of any military aircraft but the research came up em! pty mainly due to the way it hovered and the white and green ball of light.

November 22, 2018 · 8:51 PM · FIREBALL

Phoenix, AZ

On or about 20:51 of November 22, 2018, my girlfriend and I witnessed several fireball looking objects crossing the sky south of Phoenix, then again on November 24th at about the same time and finally a third siting on 12/15/18, around 21:30. Looking towards the south on the first siting, they were moving north north-east, second siting moving from the south moving north north-west and the final siting from the south moving north north-east again. They appeared to be bright orange-red glowing objects, fireballs. They didn't appear to be bright red in the videos I will be submitting, but they were with the naked eye, bright red-orange fireball looking objects usually following the same trajectory each night. Sometimes just one visible, at other times, several at one time at an unknown distance apart in the sky. I live in Arcadia, a suburb in east phoenix, with a view of southern sky. They were moving at a speed consistant with airliners that I see departing Phoenix international airport. They crossed the entire view of the southern sky to the east and west of my house to where I had to look north to see them disappear.

Gilbert, AZ

3 of my teenage children and myself were getting into the car to go to the store when we witnessed 2 red lights that seemed to be intermittently twinkling. We continued to watch the red lights and a third smaller one appeared, at which point all three lights became steadily lit and stopped twinkling. They were in a half circle formation initially, but as the began to glow steady, they moved into a triangular formation. Then one of the lights that was the smallest, located at the bottom left corner of the formation began to dim, and continued to dim until it completely vanished. The red light on the bottom right of the formation became brighter, then moved more to the right and began to flash and grow dim as well, until it too, vanished completely. The red light at the top of the triangular formation- the only light left, became brighter and continued to glow red and steady as it moved higher and higher into the sky until it was gone, just like the other two red lights.

Adairsville, GA

Felt something watching me, as I went to get something from my truck. Looked up to see a bright light with four points of light coming off of it quickly dim into a red/orange ember type light and completely disappear, only to reappear as a bright light in the same spot. Then it slowly made its way across the sky before slowly fading to the ember and disappearing by getting smaller and smaller. Moved in a wavering pattern stopping and starting again as well as moving in a wave like pattern. A smaller light was traveling around it and looked to be farther away like maybe a data light and it made a verticle flight path before disappearing behind trees whereas the brighter light was traveling horizontally. Smaller light did not change colors.
