UFO over South West Florida? @ 2:55am EST On October 12, 2018, I observed a flying object, light blue in color encompassed in a halo roughly a quarter of the size as the object but the color was a light blue but almost white in appearance. It was headed 60 degrees NE “rapidly”. Bright enough where I could feel my pupils dilate like a bright flash hit my eyes. The weirdest thing is that the object just didn’t seem bright enough to cause the effect it had on my eyes. Whatever it was, the object was muffled by the cloudy overcast night. The object seemed to be circular in shape with a equally sized tail. The front portion had a glow about half the size as the tail, shaped the same way as the tail yet, not as bright. The object faded in and I observed it for approximately 6-8 seconds when it just as quietly and quickly as it appeared, it slowly faded out. I desperately looked for a continuation of the sighting however, watching the path I observed it in, it never reappeared, not a glow or anything. ((name deleted))

I was awaken by my significant other around 2:30 a.m.; less than 24 hours after Hurricane Michael came through our area. She told me that someone was in the back yard with a flashlight and they were shining the light into the house. She told me she was going to the bathroom and noticed the hallway was brightly illuminated. The hallway is typically very dark. This scared her and she decided to wake me. The backyard is very dark, even on full moon nights, due to the very close proximity of thick trees to the house. The house sits on the side of a steep hill, so the crown of the trees are progressively lower and thicker due slope of the yard. The trees are currently full. The leaves have not started to fall and very little light reaches from the street below the house. The street below the house is approximately 100 yards through the woods from my house. I got out of bed and could tell the light was so bright that it was glowing from above the openings of the black out curtains in the room where I was sleeping. I approached the backyard flood light switches next to rear windows (also next to the bed and a door that leads out to the backyard) and placed my hand on the curtain. I wanted to turn on the backyard lights, four in total, and open the curtains to observe what I anticipated to be a prowler with a large spotlight. Before I opened the curtain, I observed what appeared to be a circular light source directly in front of me. I could see the shape of the light source through the black out curtain due to the intense brightness. I simultaneously turned on the backyard flood lights and pulled back the blackout curtain. The unidentified light source disappeared at the same time I turned on my flood lights. Instantly and with no delay the light was gone. My significant other said aloud...with disbelief..."It's gone!! ". I continued to scan the backyard to see if I could detect movement and listened for noise. I heard and saw nothing. I proceeded upstairs to get a better vantage point overlooking the backyard. I also went outside the front door and around to the side of the house to investigate...Nothing and Nothing. Eerily and unusually quiet. Went back to the bedroom and asked what exactly she observed. She told me the empty room next to ours was glowing with bright light and it scared her. The empty room has floor to ceiling glass windows that face the backyard. The windows have thin translucent sheers and not blackout curtains. She looked into the room and stated the source of the light was coming from approximately a 2 o'clock elevated position from observing window. She also told me the light was pulsating from bright to brighter slowly. Also, she stated that she didn't hear any noise coming from the light source. I commented that the dogs, at the neighbors homes, many kept outside, typically bark at everything during the night were abnormally quiet. The insects were also quiet. The next day during daylight I investigated the backyard and the woods to check for any disturbances. Nothing unusual was found. I questioned my neighbors and they did not see or hear anything. I also questioned the neighbors at the bottom of the hill in the direction of the light source. They also observed nothing.

Bellevue, NE
After about 10 mins 3 of the lights trailed off and only two were left. At this point the lights lost their blue color and became more silver/white. I called my neighbor and his fiance to come and look at them also in order to make sure that someone else witnessed this event other than myself. It is possible that it was spot lights but the light appeared to be coming from behind the clouds and it definitely was not a regular aircraft. Also the flight path was not how an automated spot light wo! uld move. The airspace in which the lights were located was a barren field where there is nothing but farm land. I believe they were probably flying in close proximity of the Iowa-Nebraska border. Another thing to note is that the area that this occurred was very close to a major US Air Base.

I was sitting on my deck looking at the sky. The weather is clear. 2045 I saw a bright light (like a search-light at a distance) It was in the western sky approximately 2 o clock, traveling north to south. After about 15 seconds it simply faded and vanished. Again, no clouds. No noise and no aircraft strobe. It was a point of bright light about 3 times the size of Venus and many times brighter. Venus had already set behind the trees so it wasn't Venus, and Mars was in the 10 o-clock position. I initially thought it might be the ISS but the shape was not correct. I've seen the ISS many times and it is bright and fades from view, but it is angular in appearance, almost like a Greek cross. Five minutes later I saw a roughly chevron shaped craft with bright lights emanating from the front leading edges. This appeared to my north at about the 11 o clock position moving west to east. It also slowly faded and vanished. No clouds, no noise, no strobe. I immediately went inside and checked the plane tracker website on the chance it was a plane and I merely misidentified it somehow. No aircraft were shown in the vicinity. I'm retired and I spend a great deal of time plane watching day and night. I am also ex-military (police) and I've worked for the dept. of defense. I know a military aircraft when I see one. And these were not. I often have fighter planes from the neighboring AFB train in the airspace above where I live. (During the day) The sound is deafening. I know it sounds corny but the way these objects/craft moved, fading and vanishing reminded me of the old Star Trek and ships cloaking themselves. I know how that sounds but I'm trying to be accurate and convey exactly what I saw. I have only seen/interacted with an unidentified flying object once before and that was in 1989 in Alabama. So its not like I see these things "regularly". I know what I saw. (No it wasn't satellites either. I've seen satellites pass over my place on clear nights and they are tiny TINY points of light---these were larger and much more substantial. So satellites, planes, planets and the ISS are OUT as explanations. Forgive me for not taking your call earlier this evening. I was in my workshop. If you have any further questions please call me.

Colbert, GA
Me and my fiancé were sitting on our porch looking out at the night sky and talking when between the trees I saw a light traveling from north to south and straight at us but at same time a slightly crurved path toward our home. It was traveling slower than an air craft and it did not blink. It was a pure singular white light. We ran out into the yard to watch it as it flew over our home. After it went over our home it continued to move upward into the sky and vanished in seconds. It looked a star but brighter and bigger.

I looked out the front bedroom window and was surprised to see my entire front yard and bushes lit up by a bright white stationary overhead light. The light bathed the immediate neighborhood. I quickly went outside to see what was going on. The light had disappeared. When the light was on, there was no helicopter engine or blade noise. I looked to the sky and saw no aircraft or UFO.

so my wife and I were having a late night smoke in our back yard and I commented on how it was a beautiful clear night and you could see the stars perfect! she asks me, "what's that flashing bright star one there?" I turned to see a bright flickering light that was extremely low compared to all the other stars in the sky. I grabbed some binauculars to see it closer and it started out flashing red and blue just like a cop car then it moved and we captured video!

Albany, NY
Viewing location: University at Albany. As I entered East University Drive from a parking lot, I noticed two lights on the horizon to the south of my position which I assumed to be an incoming flight to Albany International Airport. However, this was west of the typical flight paths that I often observed, and it appeared to be dropping illuminated objects. Suspecting this to be an aircraft in distress, I quickly drove into the football stadium parking lot for a better look. By this time it was almost about to pass me, but then I observed that each illuminated object was separated and moving in tandem. The second object continued to drop illuminated objects at intervals. These were silent. Fortunately, I captured the objects (and another drop of illuminated objects) via iPhone 8 video as they were passing me and heading north. The treeline can be seen with a bright monitor, as well as the corner of SEFCU Arena at the end of the video. Puzzled by what I had witnessed, I enlarged one of the objects with my video editing program — but it's just as mysterious. The original file and the magnified file are in these Dropbox links. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8t4pkv1ejxw3xc6/Video%20Oct%2010%2C%2011%2040%2042%20PM.mov?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pmiyoxmve2kdvs6/UFO_Over_Guilderland_Closeup_Flashes.mov?dl=0 Based on incoming airline flights to Albany International Airport, I would estimate these to be 2,500 to 4,500 feet. A Times Union city desk editor called a spokesperson at the airport to inquire about craft in the area on this date and time. Two weeks later, the contact responded the airport had no information about these objects in its airspace. Because the objects were to my right (heading north), I would estimate them to be traveling over part of Guilderland — which borders Albany. One of the Times Union's reporters contacted a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy for assistance, but he was too busy last spring. So, I'm filing the report here. I have drawn maps that illustrate the path — which may be helpful, too.

Marina del Rey, CA
Oct 10, 2018. A large orange fireball appeared about 12 miles off the coast of marina del rey. Time was 9pm to 11pm. From the video, the fireball appears to be about 200 feet above the ocean, based from the reflection onto the ocean. The event was recorded with a 4K 60 fps and with a 320 optical zoom. This video was posted on ‘’you tube’’ at Bci1eyNKggw. I live at the beach. This was the first fireball I have seen in 25 years.

Greensboro, NC
A huge circle was present in the sky with a triangular blinking light. The light was smooth in fading and reappearing with about two seconds in between blinking on and blinking off. The light was close to a purple hue. I walked about a mile and the UFO was present the entire time. The shape was a bit hard to make out because it was a break in the clouds, but the ship was low enough in the sky to make out the circular shape. The blinking light was perfectly visible.

Montesano, WA
I was at Friend's Landing in Montesano. Was sitting in my vehicle, when my Fiancee and I noticed a yellowish orange light in the sky. It seemed to be moving around, flying in circles and visibly turning itself, as it would get brighter when facing our direction. I called a family member who lives in Aberdeen to go outside and check it out, they could also see the anomaly in the sky. A plane was flying and the UFO noticed it, slowly flew closer for a short distance before taking off and making a large gap between itself and the plane. After the plane had past it continued to fly randomly side to side and in circles, my fiancee decided to flick our headlights on and off. The anomaly turned towards us and slowly flew our direction, so my partner flicked the headlights on a couple more times and it came closer but stopped before we could make any shape of the craft out. The craft continued flying around randomly, but at this point we had to head home. The light was still visible from my house. My Fiancee and I like to go outside a lot, and this anomaly has been seen by us multiple times. It seems to be watching this area, for reasons unknown. It generally looks like a bright yellow-orange star. Seen year round, noticed it last summer for the first time.

Grey V shape about 200 yards if on ground. Flying Southwest. Silent. "Unrelated" Military helicopters flying around today then right after it flew by. Coincidence?

Dallas, TX
The ‘lights ‘ were much brighter than I normally see and were stationarily stacked one upon the other with estimated 100 feet apart. After about ten minutes, the topmost one faded away, to be followed by each of the others, about one minute apart. I’m not sure that what I witnessed were helicopters or not, although the behavior wasn’t like that of helicopters. The regular airport traffic resumed shortly after the last bright light faded away .

Irving, TX
I was waiting at the bus stop in the morning and I saw a strange shaped aircraft fly over the area. It was somewhat similar to a plane however the wings were bent down and forward into a horseshoe like shape. I was only able to see it for a few quick seconds.

Fenton Township, MI
Corner of Fenton Rd and Thompson Rd in Fenton Township last Wednesday it was dusk out and I saw looking out east over the woods of what is vrand blanc/holly what I first assumed to be a plane which was as bright as the morning star gliding north near a route i see planes traverse regularly on their way into Flint Bishop airport which is just 15 miles north by way of US23. Ive seen 10,000 planes or more over the course of my 20+ years on this property. Things have been a little odd the past few years but when this light i think is a plane disappear in midair after i had watched it fly for a good 30 seconds, on a straight horizontal level path clearly not the flickering of a drifting chinese lantern, which have been popular lately no this was a bright light like a bright plane but it vanished in a clear deep blue eastern sky just past sunset. It was the only object in the sky.my brother in law and nephew weren't able to witness its disappearance but had seen the light before and did believe me as it had disappeared from the sky.

Chirico Summit, CA
Camped in our RV at the south entrance to Joshua Tree, I was sitting on the bed sipping coffee looking north on a perfectly clear morning. Way off I noticed a very bright white light coming towards me. It looked like an aircraft landing light which puzzled me due to there not being a landing strip in the area. Watched it come at me for about 3 minutes. As it approached the 2500' hills 1/4 mile from us, I could see it was only 500' or so above them moving slow. Just as it got to the south of the hills, it quickly turned facing east. Got a good look at it. Cigar shaped, maybe 2/3 the diameter of a dirigible and not as long, it was a dull gray color. There were no wings, no tail, no cockpit on the bottom and no windows. Slowly it cruised east for about a minute or so. It then started slowly turning to its left, north. The very moment it reached due north, it shot silently off at amazing speed, disappeared in literally half a second.

226 was closed going up the mountain due to accident this morning was raining, hazy out. Made a U-turn going back down mountain in open lane. Directly across from wreckage I look up and I spotted a craft! Oval in shape, white rotating lights (slow rotation), sitting right above the clouds. Directly over the wreckage...I can't be the only person that saw this craft!
