Old Bridge, NJ
I was taking my afternoon walk. I had a baseball hat on, so my visibility peripherally was limited above my head. I stopped on my walk to stretch, as I normally do. I tilted my head back and the object was behind me, stalking me. The object was as high as a street light. The object realized I caught it stalking me from behind and it moved to the front of me. I could not believe my eyes because this object did not have any head, eyes, wings or feet. The dark middle of the object was black, however, I could see the color red. The object was alive and did not have lights or any machinery attached to it. The object was hovering stationary directly in front of me, as high as a street light, and directly acknowledged my presence, then moved horizontally to my right, then moved down the street and disappeared into the woods. The object was approximately 3 feet by 3 feet in diameter, however, I swore it changed shape as it moved away from me. This encounter took all of 2 minutes. 60 minutes aired a news story on the UAP incidents. 60 Minutes shows you three photos of objects in the sky. The third photo of the sphere with the "black cube" or black points in the sphere is what I witnessed. This is the UAP Lt Graves pilots witnessed. I was very relieved to see the photo because it validated everything I had been telling my boyfriend and father. The photo is exactly what I described to them. The photo was released AFTER my encounter. I thank the military very much. By releasing the photo to the public, the military extended to me reassurance in what my eyes witnessed and a huge relief to know I am not alone. I want my sighting documented, although I am a civilian. Thank you very much for documenting this incident. Ms. Lori Gillen

I was vacationing at beaver lake cabins, I set up my camera to run a night time, time lapse of the lake and the clouds. I ran the camera for 15 mins taking photos every 8 seconds. When I completed the time lapse I checked the footage to make sure everything looked good. Upon viewing the footage I noticed that a light in the distance was moving around in the footage. I looked out across the lake and noticed the red light. To the naked eye it didn't appear to be moving, it didn't flash like a plane. I immediately knew I was witnessing something other than a plane and set up a second time lapse. When I focused the camera in the area the light dissapeared. It creeped me out, it felt like it knew I had seen it. I went inside the cabin and took note of the time in my phone. The next morning I told my wife what had happenend. She was alarmed because she had a dream that night that I was having telepathic communication with aliens. She asked what time I filmed the footage, I told her 11pm is when I stopped the footage and came inside. She told me that I woke her up at midnight, I was moving around the cabin. She looked over at the clock. I am confident that I came in at 11pm sat up in bed checking my phone and went to sleep. No recollection of moving around at midnight. When I got home and viewed the footage on the computer, I looked at it frame by frame and noticed that the light grew in intensity, moved at different speeds, dissapeared and reappeared in different locations.

Hamburg, NY
A friend arrived to drop off some donations to add to what was already in my truck so I could drop them off, while loading the items, I caught an odd reflection in the trucks side mirror that prompted me to look up, I observed a stationary triangle in the sky about 45 degrees from the horizon in a westerly direction from where we were standing, I told my friend to look at it as I retrieved my binoculars from the truck, we both got a good look at it and observed red, orange, blue and green lights that flashed around the perimeter of the craft, from where we were standing I would estimate it was over Lake Erie and about three times the size of jet aircraft I regularly see on approach to Buffalo airport but outside of their approach paths. As we were looking at it and debating as to getting out my telescope,it started to glow orange and disappeared from sight, I believe it just shot straight up but it happened in less than a blink of an eye. We cannot be the only ones that saw this thing as it was a beautiful warm clear night, especially for October.

McHenry, MS
Reflective spherical object approx the size of a large motor vehicle hovering motionless and noiseless in sky east of Hwy 49 in McHenry, MS on 10/09/18 at approx 18:13. Saw it when I was headed southbound on Hwy 49 coming up on the Dollar General. Object was still for several seconds about 500 to 1000 ft from the ground then began making quick, lateral and vertical movements such that it covered great expanses of ground instantaneously with no chem trails or noise. Next it began to climb vertically into a cumulus cloud located directly overhead and completely disappeared. It didn’t appear to exit the cloud. Seconds later, 3 black helicopters came from the west flying in the direction of where the object had been. Once they crossed Hwy 49 they fanned out and ultimately headed in a SE direction until they were out of sight.

In the video there is a flashing light in the sky that appears and disappears repeatedly. By eye the objects appears to have an aura or haze around it. I have seen these frequently by naked eye and cannot seem to identify what it could be.

1st time me & dog have both been in observance of 3 orange lights, all in one line, spaced closely to one another. Moved directly over my neighbors house, 1,000 feet above perhaps. 3 orange lights had no noise, no blinking lights. Stopped directly over my house and stopped. My dog and I stared directly at the orange 3 lights, as my dog did also...both looking up for like 2 minutes. They as I tried to take photos, 3 orange lights immediately flew upwards. So fast out of sight. No photos. I came inside my house & my wife asked why we were both outside so long... She said both outside over for 45 minutes...I said no, we me and dog, just went outside to let dog go potty...quickly. She looked outside couple of windows but saw or heard nothing. She asked me, so were did those 40 plus minutes go? Experience has left me sleepless tonight.

I was driving east 1-4 towards Orlando. A large, bright, orange/tan light was flying fast and low across the highway headed south. It had no blinking or multi-colored lights similar to a drone or airplane. It disappeared beyond the treeline and then could not be located. Sighting was in a particularaly dark and unpopulated portion of the highway.

South Lake Tahoe, NV
October 8, 2018, Sighting My wife and I had finished summiting a rocky plateau past and above Eagle Lake, about 90 minutes away from the parking lot at Emerald Bay, near the southwest corner of the Lake Tahoe basin off Highway 89. It was a perfect day for hiking with sunny skies and crisp weather in the upper 50's. On our way down, we stop to chat with some backpackers who were making their way up the trail. While I and the other guy were wrapping up hiking talk, his partner said to me and my wife, "I have to show you something". She pointed toward the West where the sun was just above the ridge, and there seemed to be a huge number of floating spider webs that you could see when the sunlight hit them at the right angle. I though at first there had to be hundreds if not thousands of spiders on this one prominent tree alone to account for all the glimmering threads we saw. It almost didn’t make sense as there were webs radiating all around, not only streaming off the tree. I didn’t think I ! could capture what I saw on my iPhone but I snapped off one shot anyway. The photo shows the time as 3:51 pm. We parted ways and were still astounded at the sheer volume of these floating and streaming gossamer threads in the sky, neither one of us having witnessed that before. Later in the hotel room I was uploading the photos of the day to my wife's iPhone and to my iPad when we discovered the object in the upper right corner of the frame. Somewhat coincidentally, both of us had thoughts of a UFO in the area without saying anything to each other until we saw this image later on the iPad. As we drove to the restaurant for dinner, I began to have an old memory from years before of reading about a connection between some UFO sightings and "angel hair" being seen at the same time. I told my wife about this and we were still in a state of wonder over what, if anything, had taken place above that ridge.

Las Vegas, NV
I was sunning by the pool at our building in Las Vegas, at the start of a short holiday (because our choice resort in St. Martin was destroyed). I was looking up, mostly watching the helicopters and planes departing LAS. Then, I saw the first object. I saw a bright white UFO, moving slowly. Then I saw the second one. Then, the first dropped 3 objects from it. The 3 new UFOs looked like “stars”, except it was about noon, with a blazing sun, so stars wouldn't have been visible. I thought they might be weather balloons. But, then I realized that one of the larger objects, moved at a MUCH faster rate, than the UFO “mother” ship that dropped the three “stars”. So, they couldn't be balloons, or they would all be moving at about the same rate, in the same direction. Plus, they didn't look like balloons. They looked like “pyramids” and “stars”. When I saw the three objects falling from the mother ship, I thought it might be a plane, dropping jumpers. But, I realized, it was not a plane. As the first object got closer (more overhead), I could see it was sort of a pyramid shape, but the orientation changed, as the UFO “tumbled”. It did not stay in a constant orientation, like an airplane. The 3 dropped “stars”, moved slowly “below” the mother ship. They didn't drop quickly, like jumpers, which was another reason I realized they were not skydivers. Then, they stopped “dropping”, and moved along with the mother ship, in a roughly North-South orientation. The four UFOs moved slowly, in more or less the same North-South direction. The larger one was the “pyramid” shaped one, with the three “stars” following. Then, I noticed more of the “star” UFOs. I saw about 7-8 more. They were in a second group, behind the first four, but all moved about the same direction and roughly the same speed. Sometimes, some of the UFOs would stop, and be stationary for a while, but eventually they mostly moved off in the same North-South direction. After some minutes, one of the “star” UFOs suddenly moved at VERY high speed, in the opposite direction of the others, Northerly. During this whole UFO time period, I saw probably about 7 airplanes. That helped me judge the speed and behavior of the UFOs. Most of the UFOs were moving MUCH slower than the aircraft, except for the one “star” UFO that started moving the opposite direction. It was going about four times faster than any of the other aircraft I saw, and some of them were high-altitude jets moving at their normal speed. Another of the “star” UFOs was moving about 120 degrees away from the direction of the movement of the others (Northeasterly). As it moved away, it slowly turned as it moved, about 90 degrees to the left, so it ended up moving at about a 30 degree angle from the direction of the others (Southeasterly). Then I saw another group of around 8 “star” UFOs. They were largely moving right-to-left, North-South, as most of the previous UFOs had before. When one or more moved more overhead, again I could see the “pyramid” shape, with the continuously changing orientation. The rest looked like stars. They appeared to move to the South, in the direction of the Sun. I think that they were climbing, as well as moving roughly North-South, as they got close to the Sun. Later, one of the “star” UFOs moved off at about a 45 degree angle path away from the main direction of most of the UFOs, and disappeared moving in that direction (southeasterly). Then, I saw one of the “star” UFOs moving away from the track of the others: It looked like it was mostly climbing up, away from the path of the previous UFOs. But, this one was changing in visual intensity dramatically. Sometimes, it could barely be seen, but then it changed to very bright, much brighter than any of the other UFOs, then back to looking like a “star”, like most of the other UFOs. It was changing in brightness at random intervals, the whole time I saw this UFO. After this, I saw one more of the “star” UFOs. In total, the experience lasted about 45 minutes, and I saw about 20 UFO objects. They weren't weather balloons, airplanes or helicopters. They weren't drones or RC planes, and not anything publicly acknowledged in a current military inventory. Note: I was a USAF pilot, and am now an airline pilot.

Next came 2 more showed up in the same formation. Than a solo one showed up, forming a triangle with the 2nd set of lights. The 1st set of lights quickly disappeared. The remaining 3 that formed the triangle slowly spread, the bottom right light disappeared. The bottom left light disappeared shortly later. The top light got brighter and then rapidly disappeared.

Heard dogs barking next soor. Woke up & saw bright light, like search light in sky above treeline. So bright, it illuminated clouds behind it. Seemed like it got brighter. No noise. Thought it was a helicopter search light but stationary. Then as soon as decided to get in my car & look at closer - it rurned off like a flashlight.

I was in a Meditated state when I went to sleep. I seen black matter coming down from the ceiling. So It looked like it. Really freaky stuff. I went to sleep to wake up around 3:00am I felt someone grabbed my left ankle hard enough to wake me up. I looked trying to open my sleepy eyes I seen him there standing. Looking at me mad like if he was expecting me to say something. He was really tall maybe 8ft. He had long arms his fingers touched his knees. His noise looked like 2 lines and big eyes. I was colder then usual. I blinked and he was gone. I don't know if I'm being abused by these creatures. One morning I woke up with my underwear backwards. I've seen UFOs since I was 15 I'm 30 now.

Auburn, ME
I had gone out on my deck to get some air and was looking at the Big Dipper and trying to locate the Little Dipper. I then noticed a bright light, similar to the size of Venus, travelling across the sky in a north to south direction. The speed was similar to that of a satelite or the space station when that passes. The bright light did not have any other lights or flashing. After traveling approximately 1/3 of the viewing area, the light was almost over my head. The object then went straight upward and after about 10 seconds it disappeared.

My grandmother and two of her friends were almost home and stopped at a stop sign when she asked the other two women if they saw that strange light in the sky above them that had been stationary for quite some time. Her one friend said she had been watching it as, well, and was wondering what it was, when all of a sudden they said it took off rather quickly and they lost sight of it. A third woman in the car told them it was just a helicopter. My grandmother who is not one to believe in the unexplained told me she is positive that the light was not a helicopter. She said it looked nothing like that and there was no noise from the craft when it took off.

I was sitting on our deck and noticed an unidentifiable object in the southwest sky. It appeared reddish and was in the shape of an X. It did not appear to be moving. Watched it for about 15 minutes to make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. Even went inside and came back out and I could still see it. In the morning I googled to try to find an explainable reason for seeing this. The only thing I could come up with was a Red Rectangle Nebula, but it stated that that is not visible by the naked eye… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

facing North-North East towards Reno Nevada, clear night, single blue fireball with tail, had a halo but might just be clouds. There was a planet to the upper left, possibly Venus. We suspect witness was looking south, watching a missile launch. PD

It was night. Object started as a bright white light behind light cloud coverage. Soon it became more clear as an object that seemed to be entering the atmosphere/ falling. The object seemed to be burning white asvit fell and had two long tails on either side at an angle making a triangular shape. The object fell for several minutes and disapeared at distant hills/houses. We were on the freeway (I wasn't the driver) and I was using my phone so the video didn't catch as much as the naked eye did.

We have cell video. Walked out to dump trash looked at stars saw one that looked like you would see on a foggy night blury and hazy. I looked and watched it was moving with three trails hehind it got my attention because it looked like a cross. I looked at other stars they were clear. Thought it might be a comet as it changed and had two large vapor trails behind it. It moved too fast for that. It kept moving south the trails stopped and it disappeared. This moved to slow for a fallout no star and if it was a comet how did it disappear. I have about a minute on cell phone footage but did not keep it running to show it disappear. I can send it to you if you want it. I was in military this was no rocket launch something entering the atmosphere leaving a trail I would guess unless it was a comet but I have yet to hear of one or read about it and it moved too fast. I will send cell footage via email as it’s on wife’s phone

After the craft itself disappeared, it left a black circle in the sky where it initially had been. The stars then began to return, but it looked almost as if they were flickering. After a few minutes of this phenomena, the beams slowly began to dissapeared, and a flashing white and blue dot was left in the center of the black circle.

1) it was not a plane or a heliocopter. It was not a star. Started out as two extremely bright lights shining and creating a circular nebula (like the moon lighting up part of the sky behind clouds. 2) pulled over the car with son to watch. now only one light left. extremely bight like it would be a very large meteor, but seemed stationary. Then moved low in the horizon. 3) I am a skeptical science guy, and have never seen anything ever like this. Launch of Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg AFB. PD
