Gates, OR
On the afternoon of 08/17/2018, a neighbor called me and, during our conversation about unrelated business, told me to take my phone outside, look up and tell him what I saw. I told him that I saw the moon, the sun and blue sky. He suggested that I look to the east, and, there I saw a circular object, suspended and absolutely motionless, high in the sky. Me neighbor said that he had been watching it, while working outside, for over an hour. It had not moved during this hour and he asked me what I thought that it was. I told him I had no idea, and went back into the house for my point and shoot camera, as I didn't think the optics on my phone would render a decent image. I was not able to 'zoom out' far enough to get any surrounding mountains or trees into the shot to give some perspective of size, etc. I observed this object for approximately 20 more minutes, until I had to leave for work. During the time I observed an aircraft flying at about 20,000! feet as it passed well above and to the west of the object; I would estimate the object's altitude to have been about 8,000 to 10,000 feet. There was no sound, other than that of the aircraft. I did not get a photo of the plane and the object in the same frame. It was a breezy, warm summer afternoon, the sky was clear and the temperature was about 90 degrees. The object was toroidal, or donut shaped, with a solid appearing outer rim or edge. The center of the toroid was diaphanous, nearly clear. There also appears to be, in the center, some 'structural', bar-like elements, which were about the same brightness as the outer rim. I showed my photos to several people and at least one suggested that it may have been a balloon; this seems unlikely, as it remained absolutely stationary for well over an hour and, as I mentioned, the weather was rather breezy. Also, it did not look like a balloon. My wife and daughter arrived home after I had left for work; I texted my daug! hter and asked her to step outside to see if she could see the! object. By this time, the object was no longer visible. I have not had an opportunity in the meantime to discuss this sighting with my neighbor.

Venice, FL
At the time of the sighting I was 19 years old, I was up late gaming and I went outside to enjoy the morning air and what I saw in the sky blew my mind. Flying over my house was a cigar shaped ufo that was glowing like molten lava, I watched it for at least 5 minutes stunned, it glided silently over my house towards the gulf of Mexico. It was pretty close to the ground, id say around 2500 feet in the air. I felt very strongly I had to share this encounter finally and have it documented. There's something going on in southwest Florida, at least 4 other people I've known have said they have had an experience as well with seeing a ufo. Thank you !

Object looked to hover over a neighborhood for 3-4 minutes. Maybe 1000ft or less. It looked to have 2 lights that would turn on and off and pulsate. It then just disappeared after a flash of light like someone turned on a bright flash light.

Winston-Salem, NC
Saw a bright circular light in the sky. It kept moving. Was a different color than the stars. More of a yellowish color. It hovered in one area for about 20 minutes then started shifting further away to the right where it hovered up and down and to the left and right for about 45 minutes until it faded away. It had colored lights beaming down in far distance for only a few seconds. Heard dogs barking and a swooshing sound at the end.

I would like to report a Unidentified Flying Object sighted on August 17, 2018, at approximately 12:02 A.M. in Southern Minnesota. Myself and two of my friends were sitting outside at night. We had a clear sight of the stars in the sky as it was a clear night. My friend had looked up in confusion and pointed up and asked us what something was, coming our way. We saw an aircraft flying at tree level. It was moving at a constant speed, approaching from the West and leaving sight towards the East, and was only in sight for about four to five seconds. The aircraft was also completely silent. We were all able to make out the shape of the aircraft. The shape was what I can best describe as, chevron shape with large circles along the whole bottom of the aircraft. I was able to see a little glimmer of metallic material. Other details: Lights outside that are on a timer had went out early, several minutes before seeing the aircraft. Two of the observers are 18 years of age and the other one is 17 years of age. None were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Then they began to move in a northwest direction, keeping the same distance apart, you could hear the sound of a jet engine as they moved away.

There was a large clouded storm coming in at an extremely fast rate. Then all along the bottom line of clouds there is lightning flashing. You see aircrafts of some sort fly into the clouds and when they reach a certain point, they seem to blow up and then fly out faster then they went in. There was no wind at all and it was extreme darkness to the sky.

Lindon, UT
At 20:38 while sitting on an overlook at Dry Canyon park in Lindon, Utah, my companion alerted me to a black object sitting high in the sky over the city. Initially, we questioned whether it was a powered hang-glider, but it was hovering in a way that was abnormal. The craft was hovering and rotating but not moving in an particular direction. It seemed to be diamond shaped, but was too far away to tell for sure. Its altitude was far higher than planes that we saw passing after. After hovering for roughly 3-4 minutes, the craft headed south-west over the lake for another 3-4 minutes, when it ascended and disappeared in the clouds.

Spindale, NC
We were standing behind a bar at about 7:30 PM and noticed this light fixed in the sky. It never moved until two hours later when it slowly faded away (It also turned red where it had been whitish blue at the first sighting.) At first we thought, "Whatever it must be a tower or something." Then when we came back outside so my friend could smoke we saw it still. After being out their for 15 minutes we saw, at a directly opposite position in the sky, another light that was an orange color and was also fixed. It was still daytime when we saw them and it was dark when they faded away.

I was exiting a vehicle in front of the emergency room and I got a strong feeling to look it up ... I could clearly see the circular/ovoid craft from below it was right above me. It had some jagged parts on the front and back and I had a mostly classic saucer shaped with a dent in the back… And also seem to have some Half egg type appendages... it was radiating pink around it in some sort of obvious field… And behind it off the back portion of the craft I could see heat wafting several feet. I am mediately took on my camera as quickly as I could and started taking pictures and a video I have about two minutes worth of video. I've had it analyzed by three different very talented people with experience in video analysis and two of them are professional UFO researcher was a very substantial track record I don't want to mention their names or the results right would gladly after your analysis their analysis included a few interesting notes like they could ! see the pink field around it and determined that it was operating under its own control. We have not had time to respond to the witness, yet. PD

An information on big diamond type craft they have anti gravitational magnetic energy that gives the craft power they travel by means of time lapse. I know this a reporting center. Which means maybe you could help me out with who I'm dealing with. Extra notes, was taken on a craft when I was young and the memorys didn't reappear till years later at which time after that occurred my encounter with beings I inquired about. They are none hostile but warned and showed me that another group of beings exists that are hostile. They use balls of lights blinding ball of energy. Unknown of how or what energy they was using. Thank you for your time, Hope to hear from you soon Time 2300hours. Date 9/8/18

Driving south on Watt Ave, at the I-80 Light Rail Station my 15 year old great niece noticed 3 white, circular lights in the sky, clumped together moving slowly. As I was doing the driving, I was unable to look immediately. When I was able to glance over, I saw one of the lights very, very fast zig-zagging in place and then an airplane or helicopter moving very, very fast in the direction of the 3 white round lights. We looked for the 3 white lights and they were gone. This was over a 10 -15 minute time frame.

Was checking on my animals and heard a strange noise. I looked around to see what it was and assumed it was coming from the highway, but then looked to the sky and seen 2 flashing green lights passing overhead. After a second of watching these lights move around the sky, the noise stopped and the lights started moving slower then stopped completely. The lights were stationary in the sky for a moment, then slowly started rising and stopped and changed from green to red flashing lights, and then they started to flash between the colors and start moving away from my house, and then suddenly stopped. The lights turned off and the ufo resembled a star in the sky (when the stars weren't even out yet) and it disappeared.

As we have to chalk this up as just another story or witnessed event. It's a nice event to have experienced. As you will see in the boxes below there will be no check marks as to indications for characteristics of the sighting. It did not produce lights, it did not produce sound. Not like other sightings or experiences I've had previously. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was in the backyard and saw 1 triangle shaped object moving over me approximately 150-200 feet above the ground. The object was silent. It was still daylight out so I didn’t see any lights coming from the object. Lastly, it’s hard to describe this part but if you’ve ever seen the movie “The Predator” the way it disappears yet it’s still somewhat visible, that’s exactly what it was like when I saw it. I can tell you this, to this day, it’s the absolute most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!

At first I thought it was a satellite because it was vertical lights but realized it was twice the size. Waited for it to crash but it hovered and disappeared under the treeline.

At approximately 5:00AM, in the middle of August, I saw a perfectly circular object directly due north of my home in the exact direction of Cape Canaveral, approximately 45 miles away. The object was immediately noticeable because it was very bright. The object appeared white, to silver-white was completely stationary. The sky was clear and cloudless with normal humidity for an early morning. In the first few seconds, I could see that the object wasn’t a rocket launch, or even a SpaceX booster return. It was the wrong color, didn’t move, and didn’t vary in luminosity, shape, flicker or twinkle. It was appropriately 4-5 the width of Venus, and about the same magnitude when Venus is low in the sky, and at its most bright. It also was not an aircraft landing light. That was obvious after watching it for 3-4 minutes and the object remained in the same location, didn’t change intensity, and was too uniform in appearance. After watching the object for about a full minute, I thought to get a picture but, I didn’t want to lose sight of it, and I was positive I would see it do something that would explain what it might be. After looking at the object for about 4 minutes, with no change in position or appearance, I knew I was seeing something I had never observed before. After about 4 minutes, the object began to dim in a very slow and measured way. It took about 30 seconds to a full minute before it completely went dark, still maintaining position of about 30 degrees above the horizon in the same exact location where I first noticed it. It was during this slow dimming that the object appeared to be just slightly less bright in the center that gave it a slightly spherical appearance. During the entire time I saw the object, I didn’t see any other aircraft in the area or hear any other sounds. Expect for a few low magnitude stars, this was the only object, in the direction I was looking in. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
