Stevensville, MD
I watched a white ball of light about 1000 ft off the ground come from the north east to the south west. The ball was about 10 to 15ft round and had bluish purple lights flashing off the sides of it. It made no sound and we watched a passenger plane flying around 10,000 feet fly over it and we could here that plane but couldn't here this ball of light. The next night I watched the same exact light fly the same path. I've lived here for 35yrs and planes fly over all the time and this was something different!

My husband spotted this object, which he described as a "tiny stop light," while we were driving northeast along East Poplar Tent Rd, just after the I-85 interchange. I assumed it might be a drone. I caught a few glimpses in my driver side mirror and pulled into James Dorton Park to get a better view while my husband and kid went to the park. I filmed for 6 minutes and observed the object slowly flying northeast but in a straight line concurrent with Poplar Tent Rd. The object was slower than both birds and airplanes, and seemed to rotate and reflect sunlight, as if faceted. It can barely be seen in my video and gets fainter as the capture continues. After turning off my phone camera, I lost sight of the object. See video from 04OC18. PD

Baldwinsville, NY
I was riding my bike in a westerly direction in Village Green, Baldwinsville, NY. The sky was cloudless, a perfect blue sky. Suddenly, I saw a very intense white light above me. Initially, I assumed it was an airplane with sunlight glinting off of metal. After a few seconds its light dimmed significantly. I could see a cylinder shaped object for a second then it vanished in thin air!

Largo, FL
While looking at sky before sunrise, I saw a circular, steady light that resembled a bright star. It was stationary just above the treeline for 2 or 3 seconds. Then, it abruptly shot upwards in a parabolic trajectory, to the left impossibly fast then down. As it descended below tree line, it could no longer be visualized.

Hyattsville, MD
I woke up to a strange sound at about 02:02am, not the sound of a plane or helicopter, a smooth sound like an electric engine car when it starts moving, but much louder. I looked out the window and saw the unexplained craft fly above my home at a low height in the sky. It flew from north to south. A prime example, from the PG metro green line towards the West Hyattsville Green line direction. I was the only one awake at the time. At exactly 02:04, I took 2 pictures that I have saved on my phone of the craft. It flew in a circle pattern in the south direction. The craft had a grey texture of color, from what could be seen from the craft. As it flew in an angle above heading south, the lights were really bright on the side with, what appeared to be in a triangle shape with really beautiful blue lights on the sides. Then you could see the really, really bright lights on the front of the craft. The craft was shape in a diamond shape, but a lot more flatter but not saucer shape. Then, just like in the movies, it shot out flying at a tremendous speed, heading northeast, with the same electric engine sound, but a lot more stronger than when it flew by above my home.

Lancaster, PA
I went out to my back yard to look for my cat. I received a pair of night vision goggles for Christmas for sky watching, so I brought them with me to help find the cat. It was a clear beautiful night, so I started looking at the stars. After 3 or 4 minutes I saw what I thought was a satellite traveling west to east. I quickly realized it was too big, too bright, traveling too slow and it was flying way too low to be a satellite. I watched it as it traveled straight over my head. I pull the goggles away and could not see it with the naked eye. It started to get a little bit brighter and then faded away and just disappeared. As it was fading away it became transparent before disappearing. The object was not the ISS, which was visible from the witness's location at 8:47 p.m. (local), but which was visible in the extreme northern sky. Also, not an Iridium "flare." PD

Sandy Hook/Stevenson, CT
Witnessed while driving NW on RT 34 in CT between the Stevenson Dam and Great Ring Road. Object was floating at a low altitude over Route 34, it was very large, and had many white lights along the sides. Lights were steady - not flashing. It was way too low and noiseless to be a 747 jet, and moving too slowly and silently. It looked like it was only a couple hundred feet up over the treetops. The shape was hard to describe, it looked rather rectangular when in front of us - like a big floating platform - then appeared to be more triangular as we passed underneath and looked back to try to get a better look. We turned into Great Ring Road and then tried to get a better look at it, but it was gone. There were plenty of planes in the sky at the same time - at normal altitudes though.

Verdigre, NE
Bright, oval-shaped light. Seemed like a dark shading across horizontal center. Southern sky. 90° from southern horizon. Est 1/8" by 1/4". ? Distance. Non-moving. Didn't think at the time, then later-wait! That was impossible! So don't know how long. Gone 20 min later. Possible sighting of Mars?? PD

Chandler, AZ
I was heading northbound on McQueen Road. As I approached Warner Road, I noticed a bright light in the sky at approximately one o’clock from my position and at 30 degrees. The light seemed like a streetlight at first, then I noticed it was too high up and farther away. Then I thought maybe a star since the sky was clearing up and the stars were out. The light went from a bright light to a flashing series of lights. OK, must be a plane. I looked around and saw other planes in the sky. One was to my left at eleven o’clock and heading toward the light. I continued driving northbound and saw it out of my peripheral vision. As I neared W. Guadalupe Road, the light seemed to have shifted position slightly to the east, but was at the same elevation, however the plane to the left had slowly moved past it. As I watched it, it suddenly seemed to pick up speed and took off like a bullet out of a gun, heading straight east and was gone in less than a second. I continued scanning the skies all the way to US 60 to see if it would come back. It was gone.

Lynnwood, WA
I was on my balcony when I saw movement to the north/northwest. I looked over and saw a bright white light moving straight down several miles away, starting at about position angle 30 or so from my position. I only saw it for about a second before it was below the treeline. I have worked maritime search and rescue before so I know it was not a flare or firework as it's descent was too fast and did not seem to be burning, and it was also too fast for a plane or helicopter...I saw no additional lights that those craft would have on wings or tail, just the white light, though it would have been in the rough direction of Paine Field. It looked as though it was intentionally moving down in a straight line, not crashing or falling. It also seemed much too bright to be light reflecting from a bird or bat, and there was nothing else in the sky that I saw that it could have fallen from. I continued to watch that direction for about 10 minutes and did not see it again.

I watched this ufo on the flight deck of the LHA 7 at the shipyard and it was as bright as a star and as i was going off the ship it was coming back towards the ship i was on so i went back across the crossing and waited for it to come back this way to verify that what I was seeing was real. When it came back it clearly was in the shape of a triangle with two distinct red light at the bottom, as if it were the propulsion system but it was flying to fast as if it were breaking the sound barrier without sound and I ran back to tell the guy to look at this bright sphere and sure enough it came back and he said the same thing it was no plane or drone. It kept traveling back and forth and when it came back into clear view the bright lights cut off as if it were trying to hide itself but as it got closer you could clearly see the underbody of the craft it had white lines going across the bottom connected to the red lights that i had seen. So I knew it was a propulsion system of som! e type. Somebody needs to come out to Mississippi to investigate this phenomenon because this is happening on a regular now in the same place at different times and yes this has happened twice now. It was a beautiful phenomenon. I actually felt at ease about it which is crazy. I didn't feel strange or weirded out I was thinking more like this should have been on the news.

My boyfriend went out to smoke and came back in and said you gotta see this, I went out and off in the distance above the tree line you could see a series of red lights in motion it was big then it went below the tree line and disappeared.

Saw flashing lights reflecting on my window, it stopped flashing and took the shape of a fireball that dropped smaller flashing lights.

Elko, NV
After a few minutes, the lights just kind of faded out. I don't believe it to be a normal aircraft because the area is very mountainous and the lights were too low for a normal plane to fly

Taensa Parish, LA
So, we decided to look through binoculars and it appeared to be one very large craft possibly at least 1/4 of a mile long with several lights spaced evenly apart. The crazy thing is that it sounded like jet propulsion but very much more deeper than I've ever heard, like vibratory and also was very loud for at least 8 to 10 minutes after the craft was out of sight. This craft was flying east to west and fairly low altitude. About an hour before spotting this, I noticed some form of light ball that would get bright and then dim out several times while traveling pretty fast at about the same altitude and same flight path east to west. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Pueblo, CO
Sighting was witnessed at a hilltop near the "Dogpatch" community of Pueblo. The hilltop offered fantastic views of the city, looking directly to the South. For many years, my cousin and I would sit in our vehicles and spend our time talking, watching videos and listening to music. Recently, starting in October of 2018, we began seeing bright orbs hovering over what appeared to be the Southernmost part of town. Further investigation as to the whereabouts of the crafts led to Stembeach, a private lake outside of town or the Lake Minnequa. The crafts appeared first as a golden color, then as green and finally bright white. The crafts would usually appear in the same location, varying slightly in altitude. We still continue to see these objects (It is currently March of 2019).

Desert Aire, WA
My son and I were barbequing on our back deck during half time of the Oregon/WSU game. My son said "look, a sattelite!". Then we both saw one trailing the first. They both stopped! Then it looked like something took a shot at them with some type of particle weapon (looked like a shooting star went right between them). After the shot, they left on a reciprocal course back to the southwest. The shot (or whatever it was) appeared to come from the Yakima Firing center. It was not a rocket, way too fast. This all appeared to happen outside of the atmosphere. I am a science teacher and my son is an electrical engineer.

Central Point, OR
At about 7:00pm today, I was standing on my back porch with my mom and dad, facing south. There was a bright light, in the south, that flashed on and off. Then a few minutes later it flashed on and off again. Off to the southwest, another light flashed on and off. Again a few minutes later, it came back on. This time it was very bright and then disappeared. This is not the first time that we have witnessed this phenomenon. It has been happening for quite a few years. I have asked a couple of pilots and they told me that they planes landing at the airport. We live in the flight path of the planes landing and taking off, so I know that what we have seen is NOT airplanes. Even though this time, the lights were out relatively a short time, other times they can be seen for up to 10 minutes before disappearing. I really don't know what this is, I am hoping that someone out there might be able to give me an explanation.

Peter I want must tell you that I for one do not want to waste anyone's time. Time is the most valuable thing in the universe surpassing water and oxygen, gold, silver. You get the idea. But it's hard for me to talk about, let alone write about something so intimate and personal that has damaaged my life to a degree in various ways yet at the same time has improved my life in ways that most would laugh about cause they are ignorant. How do I know you are not going to laugh at me? How do I know I am not wasting my time? How do I go know you will not exploit me to a higher authority? How do I know you will not use me to make money? I have talked to you and mufon and I am not impressed by either of you but especially mufon. Actually I am somewhat impressed by you but am sceptical. I don't want to be waste your time and my y time is valuable to, sir. As of now I will tell you a bit minus details. They do exist. They do. I have made contact. Telepathy is not what, well at least the telepathy I have experienced was not what you see in TV and movies. The mutual exchanged info between me and "them" was done via the heart. They came to me off of vibrations my heart immitted mostly and then my mind. They are phenomenal. What they displayed to me is so out there it is only worthy of a far fetched fictional novel for an individual with a deep imagination and open mind. They have the ability to do about anything. Yes anything. They can manipulate nature, they can show you things that have happened or will happen as if you were viewing a crystal ball. They can display themselves in any shape or form probably from what I seen. But with them comes other phenoms. Spiritual phenoms and technology phenoms. They all keep track of one another. I do not know which one has impressed me the most through this experience. Actually yes I do. The spiritual one. No alien sorcery or technology can match what I have witnessed spiritually . It all began after a tough time in my life. It started spirituality, followed by the ETs, and then I realized man has advanced itself to a degree high enough to moniter these brilliant events when they occur. I love my country an my children and would never take part in anything that would do do the opposite. I suppose I am a bit selfish because I wish I had an answer on what has and is happening. I suppose that's why I reached out to you so that maybe I can share a bit more and you can give me an opinion? As long as you can assure me that it all stays between you and I, you don't laugh at me, and I don't walk into a book store and read a story related to my own.

Elkmomt, AL
Well, it is now official. I believe in U.F.O. s. Last night, on September 30, 2018, I saw a UFO. It was late Sunday night....about 11:30 p.m. when I had gathered all trash in the house and was taking it down to the road for pick up today. I was driving the truck down the drive way to take the trash down to the street. when I had gotten down to the street I then put the truck in reverse and I saw lights, a bunch of lights in my rear view mirror. I got out and stated looking at the lights. the were behind a small wooded strip then they were on the other side in a field about 100 feet from me. there were three rows probably 3 to 4 feet feet apart. Top row was moving counter clockwise. middle row was moving clockwise. the bottom row was moving in a counter clockwise motion. There was around 15 lights per row. they just came through the trees and were sitting in the field. The whole incident lasted around 30 seconds, but it was about 20 seconds where the lights were in plain view. The lights appeared to be LED in style. there was no sound. then they just disappeared out of sight. Well I know it sounds weird, but it really did happen. Those that do know me, this is for real. Those who don"t know me, I used to work in the Alabama Prison System. THIS IS A PRISON KIND OF MOMENT!!!!! If you have had some kind UFO kind of encounter please email me.

Ghost Ranch, NM
To Whom It May Concern: On Sunday, September 30th, at roughly 9:15pm, my brother and I were driving south on US Highway 84 and were between the Echo Amphitheater campground pullout and the Ghost Ranch property entrance. We had already descended the long, gradual decline on US Highway 84 from the villages of Cebolla and Canjilon south to Echo Amphitheater and were on relatively level ground nearer to the Ghost Ranch entrance and approaching the northern reaches of Abiquiu Lake on our right. My brother (who was driving) looked to his right (past me) and out the front, passenger’s side window and asked, “Is that the moon?” I looked out the same window in response to his query and remarked, “Well, if it isn’t we’re in big trouble.” We both looked intently at the object that was presently about 30° above the horizon and appeared as a very hazy, or gauzy, dim, and white light in the western night sky. We took a few seconds to make sense of what we were looking at and it appeared as the size and shape and color of the full moon behind very heavy cloud cover. Since whatever the light was traveled at the exact same speed as my brother’s vehicle, it was easy to have mistaken the light as the moon, a stationary light remaining static in the sky; however, what occurred next quickly dispelled our notion that the light we were observing was the light reflected from the moon on an otherwise clear night. As soon as my brother and I had fully absorbed the nature of the hazy light and had agreed that we were both looking at the same object, the light simultaneously compressed into an ovoid shape (the same width as before, but reducing to roughly one-third of its former height) and moved very rapidly at a 45° angle down and to the right. The light traveled no more than one second in that right-hand, downward direction when it halted at a full stop then redirected at a horizontal angle and moved very rapidly straight to the left, parallel with the horizon, all the while retaining the same ovoid shape that it had just assumed. This motion took, again, no more than one second to complete. Just as the light reached a full stop it again changed shape from a horizontally-aligned ovoid shape to a vertically-aligned ovoid shape and sped straight downward for, again, no more than one second. It disappeared from view and we looked for it to reappear, however, it never did and we lost sight of it from that point forward. I fully anticipated the light to move in our direction and across our field of view again, but it didn’t reappear for the duration of our drive. After the episode, which lasted no more than one minute from the time my brother observed it stationary in the western sky until it disappeared from view, we came to an agreement about two things: that the light was most certainly not the moon and the light had seemingly become aware of our observation of it. Since we were traveling south on US Highway 84 on a Sunday night a week after the end of the usually heavy summer camping season, there were very few vehicles on the road with us, traveling either south or north. After the light disappeared we did not encounter another vehicle for another two minutes as we traveled at roughly 60 miles per hour. There were no other vehicles traveling southbound behind us, either. My brother and I then went through a series of questions to each other as we attempted to make sense of what we had just seen. Since we had both observed the moon earlier in the day above Echo Amphitheater, in the daytime western sky as a waning half-moon, we knew that it could not have been a full moon that explained our sighting. We also questioned whether it could have been people with a high-power flashlight and quickly dispelled that idea, too, since we had seen no other cars parked along the roadside between the Echo Amphitheater pullout and where we witnessed the light. We also observed that the light appeared as a solitary light in the sky and no beam nor shaft of light led to or from the light object we viewed, nor were there any flashing or jumping lights that indicated a source of the light on the ground nearby. The object we saw was perfectly circular, then ovoid, and without any hint of alteration by the contours of terrain or cloud cover and lent further creden! ce to the idea that the object was the light source and not being created terrestrially and projected into the night sky. I also noted that as soon as my brother and I recognized that we were looking at the same object in the sky, the object (whatever it was) seemed to have realized that we had spotted it. It was at this point that the light began to move rapidly, first to the right and downward, then to the left, horizontally, and, finally, straight down. It may be a stretch to project awareness of itself, but it seemed coincidental that the light was stationary at one moment and then in motion as soon as we locked our eyes on it. Estimating the distance of the light from our position and ultimate size of the object remains difficult as an object of that size in the sky could possibly be thousands of miles away, however, judging from the rapidity of motion and understanding that the light simply disappeared from view between Lake Abiquiu and US Highway 84, I believe that it was no more than a quarter of a mile away and was, perhaps, 50 feet in diameter or less. That is, of course, a rough calculation. My brother and I then traveled back to Santa Fe and quizzed each other about what we had just seen. We still remain in disbelief, but in complete agreement that we saw something highly unusual that Sunday night.
