It went from east to west, circled around and disappeared to the west finally. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry. This is a sincere report. I got the date wrong. I was excited when filling it out. I have a few friends on YouTube in NE PA that said a bunch of Blackhawks were out looking for something also. Have you heard any reports about anything at all? Plane crash or ufo crash. It was last night when I seen that. I'm sorry about the screw up ((END ADDENDUM)) We have changed the date above. We are unconvinced that this report was intended as a seriou-minded description of a sighting. PD

Cleveland (Oneida Lake), NY
The morning of the 24th we left dockside @ apx 6:10am in a rented 10 person pontoon boat (with the top folded down completely). After clearing the warning buoys in the bay we proceeded out and head due west at full speed. We were heading for the 2 large islands on the west end of the lake. The trip would take apx 35-40 minutes. The sun had not come up yet but as it did begin to rise we took a few pics (Iphone 5S) (while moving). I was driving the boat, but at a slow speed. I turned around to snap a few pics of the sun which was in full beautiful view, and ended up with an excellent picture of the sunrise. at this point we were well out on the lake with only the water around us and the sky above. A week later as I was reviewing my pictures and posting them to facebook, I noticed that I had captured something in the picture that we were not aware of during the fishing trip. The object is on the far left middle of the pic, and appears higher than us and above the water. The picture does not show the entire craft, only a portion of it...but you can see structure to it, and It has definite angles to the design, and you can see the rising sun shining on it / illuminating it. We heard nothing that morning except the wind, waves and the roar of the boats motor. We saw nothing other than the sunrise... I have zoomed in on the object and it is not a "normal" saucer shaped UFO, but it does have well defined surfaces that reflect light. The ufo appears to be following or passing us on the starboard side of the boat and behind us apx 100 yards?. There were 3 others in the boat with me, and subsequently i requested copies of their pics. In 1 of those other pictures taken apx 3 mins prior to my photo i found a picture of the sunrise that also includes the skies and the clouds behind us. Upon zooming in there appears to be an octagon shaped object in the clouds. I "theorize" it traveled from the clouds to a position behind us in a matter of 3 minutes. None of us recall experiencing missing time, marks on our bodies ect... It was quite a surprise to me, to see this thing. Also the pictures are high resolution images....and we caught no fish! If anyone @ NUFORC has questions, feel free to call.

Baytown, TX
I was driving down 7th street toward ward road to locate the source of such large flashing cloud, but as I drove it moved away from me until finally disappearing, totally out of sight by the store on Beaumont street bit leaving behind a smoke trail in the sky. I told my husband to check to see if there was any fires in the area and there were none.

Prescott Valley, AZ
It looked like a really bright star, or a stationary plane in sky, but it was orange. When I stepped outside at night, it was already there in the western sky. Then another bright, similar light appeared just to the upper left of it. It was the way that they appeared and disappeared that was odd. They glowed on and off really slowly.

Avalon, CA
My friend and I went out to the pier to fish because it wouldn't be crowded with tourists. My friend and I are the only ones out on the pier. We were fishing for about 15 minutes until my friend tells me to look at the top of the hill. We see a light and the light begins to flicker and it slowly goes vertical. The object then goes from that side of the mountain all the way over to the opposite side of the island. There were multiple flat objects using green lights, red lights, and white lights. There was no possible way a drone or a plane could have been in and out of such altitudes with such speeds. I took multiple videos and pictures we are not making this up please contact me as soon as possible so I can send out the pictures. We witnessed three flat incredibly versatile objects in the sky forming an acute triangle. Also, light patterns were very odd and uncommon. This was not a typical plane coming in. I contacted my dad while I was watching this entire th! ing and he gave me the link to contact you. My friend and I are freaking out on the pier looking for ANYBODY, so we decided to leave the pier and head back to our condo and watch on the balcony. On the balcony we had the best view to witness these absurdly agile non-commercial crafts or saucers or whatever the proper term is. Our families go to Catalina Island every year and this island is a hotspot for extraterrestrial activity. It is commonly known to have naval activity and military activity behind Avalon (the main city). These crafts had the ability to go vertical within a second and reach speeds I have never seen. There was not just one of these we saw around 4-5 of these on our balcony. These crafts began circling each other in the air, and two crafts continuously came at each other from the opposite sides of the island and right when it looks like they are about to hit they stop immediately and begin flying synchronized. Feel free to give me a call so I can chronologically explain the story.

Newburg, WI
My Experience. Where: back roads, pitch black sky, it was cloudy out. Driving beside an empty corn field. When: early morning, 01:17am. Direction: viewing east What: 7 bright stared lights in a single file fashion. White. Couldn't see if they were connected. Addinal info: upon noticing the lights my cars engine stopped and head lamps turned off. My phone turned off as well. Car restored power, along with my phone after it left. Movement: the lights darted east (and out of sight) for only a moment before returning to its original spot and darting back east again and It did this 4 times before finally darting east off into Lake Michigan. Weird after effects: all my school work saved on my flash drives were unreadable to any computer. My new laptop was also shot. Also, it felt like a minute event but somehow an hour and a half went by. I seriouly doubt this matters but minutes after, I saw a man standing in the woods glaring at me and scared me half to death. He was wearing a black suit, unbelievably tall and wore this hat from like, the 1920s or something. He looked exactly like slender man. I still get the blood chill even as I type this. I can draw what he looks like too. I of course didn't see him again after I took my head lamps off him as I continued driving. Hope this was of some help. It sure isn't something I ever want to experience again.

Whitehorse (Canada), YT · Canada
we went to the Plato we always hit golf balls off and we were sitting there hanging out I looked out the window up at the sky and to my surprise began seeing all these what looked like stars moving in the sky in ways that anything from our planet doesn't have. we thought made we were tripping out so I then called my friend and told him to pout on his pants and get out side and look in the sky we are seeing alien ships.... he obviously laughed at me and then did it just to please me...(he didn't be). then to his surprise he saw things like we were in the sky.... I then later after my cousin and I got relatively scared for the amount of objects we saw moving in the sky. so we get him and I look out the window again and they r still there so I get him to look and he sees as well. we went back to the Plato because its better there and continued to observe until daylight......we have gone the past 2 days since and u have no idea what happened.... so day two: legit had 5 ppl this time so we could assure our selves that the weren't actually tripping out. turns out we had an encounter with something... it was running up a hill at us then watching us out of the bushes we tried to get it come out and we went far into the bush until the sun cAME out again...day 3 last night: even more weird so the 3 of us went back to see what was up again. so our theory is these things are translucent smart harmless and the straight up crossed the river and then we saw what looked like things being beamed up from the earth into these ship like stars like the ones we saw on the last 2 nights in the sky...typing sucks we could tell u all about verbally it would be better the three of us are going tonight with out other friend who felt presence two nights before us with he friend.;....... and why are there so many military ppl in Whitehorse Yukon… We also received a telephoned message from the source of this report, but it was laced with profanity, which, in our experience, is not a good sign. We have attempted to contact the witness via telephone on 4-5 occasions, but unsuccessfully, to date. PD

Big Rapids, MI
In 2016 I was attending a local university and Big Rapids Michigan and was at the Ferris State University library when I witnessed what appeared to be a large so circular shaped orb. There was a full moon out that night and the object slowly ascended to the point where it was blocking out the Moon from my visibility. I recall that night another student was by me and I asked him, hey do you see that strange object in the sky? The other student said yeah I see it. So I was like comment it's not just me that seeing this thing. The object appeared to reflect the moonlight and was silver colored like aluminum. My first guess was that this object was a large weather balloon, however this object suddenly change course of direction as if it was guided by someone controlling it. It was a calm night and there was no breeze out and there was no sign of any propellant coming from the object or any motor. The object then suddenly ascended to speeds which would be comparable to a fighter jet to my recollection and then took off. The object was definitely higher than what I believe to be 500 ft and was very large.

Walking at Northern State Rec area and just caught a dark transparent blob come over the mountains to the southeast. There was one small one racing ahead of a huge one. There some white fluffy clouds slowing moving. This looked almost liquid. Our reaction was "what the hell was that?"

Hilliard, OH
I had asked her if she seen it and she replied "Nope". So I had seen it for a few day's as I would be outside and then few day's ago, she had said to me "remember when you kept seeing that white thing? I said "yes, why? She said she did actually see it as well. Last week it was raining and a bit of lighting as well. The family was getting ready to eat dinner, I got up walked to the restroom, and something told me to look outside, so I did and I had seen this blue light like a lightning bolt but when it looked like it has touched down, there was light bouncing off the ground as if it were like a rain drop. And I had felt a very calming, safe, loved feeling and then for some of rain I thought to myself he's here. Now I have no clue what the back I talking about. So I shut the curtains and walked over to use the restroom and then my family member came and said the power is out. I just replied okay, I know. But there was a calmness in our house as to whet moments before three was some bitterness at the table. Has anybody witnessed this event last woeful in Hilliard off David rd?. Ever since' I've had a sound in my ears ever since. Ever since our dog has been barking and nothing would be there. The date of the incident is not specified by the source of the report. We wonder whether this is a serious-minded report, or a hoax. PD

Before my eyes the craft went from a star-shaped object, to a cigar shape, but it also looked like it had hooked wings. After about 3 minutes the craft took the shape of a star again, turned bright red and vanished.

Elkins (near), WV
Saw a bright object in sky looked like a star at first. I was facing south my wife said look at that it is moving, not fast, not slow it was traveling north to south. As we watched we could tell it was gaining in altitude because it was getting smaller. The object had no flashing lights or sound. It disappeared after about one minute, as it disappeared we saw something red in color that I can only relate to as possibly a rocket booster, that only lasted for about four seconds. I have seen many so called shooting stars and many meteorites this was none of those. It was a white bright light, appeared to be in the shape of a ball. When the object disappeared it was instant, from bright white light to nothing, then we saw the dim red light which lasted for about four seconds.

Miami (Bal Harbor), FL
I was driving today from Collins Avenue to the west (north Miami direction), looking for an autoparts shop because today I got a “maintance required” light up in my control panel which I found very strange because everything in the car seems to be fine, oils levels, coolant level, even battery levels, everything was working but nevertheless the light was on. So I cross the bridges over the water, and I am looking at this very impressive summer sunsent, with very strange and massive clouds around it, and suddenly I see something out of place. (time around 7:10/7:11 pm) I see something shining in between the clouds (in the direction of the sunset), but with a shape that does not appear to be natural at all. I could see the exhaust glowing on the left side of what appear to be a huge ufo, an under glowing too, and over it what appear to be like a city over it, picture when you see the top of a navy carrier, that’s what it look like on the top of the huge ufo. I was driving and over a bridge so I couldn’t stop to see it without risking to be part of a car accident. I pull out my phone, while driving, and tried to take a picture, but I could not get it. I did got the time which is enough giving the facts. Now, before I get call crazy or whatever, I want to state clearly that the whole structure was not visible, the only parts visible where the ones I describe before, the exhaust on the left side and under and the shining of the sun on the top structure. If this is actually a ufo, it was extremely big and most probably was inside the atmosphere because I guess the reflection effect is not the same if you are in space. But I don’t know, I am not a weather expert. I want to add, today was a very strange day weather wise. It was full of clouds that looked like columns, it wasn’t raining but the sky was full of electrical activity. I am completely sure that if this was an UFO there is no way, no way, the radars would miss it, it was just to enormous. I would love to know if there were any radar “anomalies” today over Miami.

Berea, OH
I saw about five white lights in a row with two larger white lights on either end in the southwest sky, at 11:00 p.m., on Saturday, August 13, 2016. Through my binoculars it looked like there was a dark dome shape above the lights. What could this be? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Riverside, CA
I was at the Van Buren Drive in movies in Riverside, California, when I suddenly saw a Orange orb zoom past over the 60 freeway. It was the size of half a small car. I couldn't get a good look the exact size because it went by so fast. I did see a helicopter about 30 mins after around the same location of the freeway.

Lakewood, CO
The objects were really bright, the colors were pink, green, yellow, blue, and white. We could easily tell they were not stars, a plane, or a satelight, or shooting star. The object stayed in or sight for a good couple hours and then shot up into the sky and disappeared and left a light beam streaming up into the sky.

Eagle Point, OR
I was returning from the Chevron station on Central Point Hwy to my home in Eagle Point on Agate Rd. I turned left onto Hwy 234 and just before crossing Dodge Bridge over the Rogue River, I saw a large blue streak of light on a fast downward path. It appeared like a fireball or meteor, but was not high in the sky to seem to be piercing the atmosphere, but rather a crashing craft. The blue light streak was wide like a comet tail with what appeared to be pieces of debris in its path. The direction of the downward path was from right to left and appeared like a craft could have been crashing near Table Rock. I drove to Rainey's Market and the gas station at the corner to see if anyone else had seen the flash of light. The store manager was just closing, and had only seen 2 police vehicles that had driven past in less than 5 minutes. While talking to him, 2 more sheriff cars drove past us towards Table Rock road, and I followed them to see if they were going to the scene of a crash. They appeared to be on their regular route though, and weren't driving in a hurry. No lights or sirens. I drove around Table Rock, looking for any signs of unusual activity or fire in the area from a crash site and didn't see anything else. I returned home to listen to the local scanner, and haven't heard anything out of the ordinary either. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he agreed that there is a strong possibility that the object was a meteor, possibly a meteor from the Perseid Meteor shower. PD

Then a helicopter like craft appeared about 10 feet in front of me. I yelled for my fiance, but as soon as I did, boom it was gone. I know what I saw. Also, from a distance there was a flashing white light that lite the sky up, while many flashing red and white light crafts where flying in the sky. I have no clue what was going on, but I have never seen something like this before. It was incredible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Squamish (Canada), BC · Canada
Hello: I wasn't sure where to report what 5 of us witnessed yesterday evening. At approx. 7:10pm, my wife and I were out on our front patio deck with our 3 nieces. We had taken 2 pairs of binoculars out with us, as we watch the hikers, and parasailers climb, and jump off the huge rock mountain here named "The Chief". We had watched 3 separate para-sailers jump from the top of the mountain. Our patio deck faces 3 directions, south, west, and north. As we had been watching the para-sailers, just viewing with my eyes, my oldest niece watching through one pair of binoculars, and my wife and other nieces see it by eyesight as well, we saw a large darker shadowy object flying very quickly across the top of the large rock mountain. It moved like nothing I have ever witnessed. I grabbed the Bushnell binoculars and zoomed in on this flying object. At this point, my 7 year old niece was already crying, and very scared. Our other 2 nieces are younger and probably aren't as aware of flying objects. My wife had then used the binoculars that my niece had, and she watched this flying object as well. We both had a clear approx. 30-second view through binoculars at this flying square object. It came in fast from the south, we spotted it once it cleared the tall tree line across our road. As it came closer, the colors started to clear on it. This flying object constantly rotated around, although it was square in shape. It rotated around both in flying mode, and in hovering mode. It hovered above my wife and I for about 10 seconds at maybe 3/4 to 1 mile from us. It continuously rotated. As the colors and shape appeared in the binoculars, the main square body was a tan/dark to mid grey color. Shape, as I'm a Certified Welder/Fabricator, picture 3 large steel shipping containers set side by side tightly, and welded together. It was square and 1/4 as deep as it was long and wide. It clearly had 3 large circular portal areas equally spaced along all 4 sides, not the top or bottom, and on all 4 sides, there were 3 portals. It had a total of 12 portals. I sketched it last night, and as I looked at my diagram trying to figure out how anything square could fly completely smooth, and horizontal, rotate constantly, and can stop and hover, while still rotating, it appears to me, as if the 3 portals along all 4 sides as they were blue/grey in color, compared to the Tan/Dark Grey main body, would possibly be a propu! lsion system. If all 12 portals could rotate a propulsion drive in a 360 degree movement, simliar to a Harrier jet, then yes, I can see how a square object could fly and hover. I'm a Licenced Automotive Technician and Certified Welder/Fabricator by trade here, and I'm an avid custom car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast, so I know almost every single mechanical sound on this planet. The rotating square object made no noises. We could hear the hikers and para-sailers talking on the mountain side, but nothing from this square flying object. I and my wife witnessed it, it then started to move north again, and I watched it until the roofline made me run from the front to the back deck in 3 seconds, but on the back deck, it had completely disappeared, and we have a long, large view up the valley, and of the mountains off our back deck. Like nothing I've ever seen, or even researched online.

At first thought I saw a flock of silver geese. Near the top of the north side of Sweeney Ridge, hovering. Either all of these were connected or a dozen or so individuals in a group. Shiny silver (looked metal) lights or maybe just reflective. Grabbed cell phone to try to photograph, but too late. It headed south and stayed about the same height. I thought about drones, but there would have been a lot of them together. I cannot make any sense out of what I saw. It was pretty… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was taking my dog out and I looked up at sky. It was mostly cloudy except for a break in clouds. I noticed two very bright lights in the sky. . bigger than stars which were moving in tandem. They seemed to be climbing straight up and then disappeared. They were not aircraft because they were to close together and it was not the meteor shower.

Durham, NC
I had just gotten home from a day with my family. My uber driver told me to look out for a meteor shower from midnight till six. I was standing outside smoking a cigarette in my driveway when I heard a strange sound. It was almost like a helicopter blade, but it sounded fake. A few minutes later, I saw the UFO. it flew low to the ground from my right side, making an arc all the way around my horizon and disappearing out of view behind the school across the street from my house. The craft looked strange, with piercing white lights on it and one red light at the front. The whole thing was lit with an orangeish hue. I pulled out my phone to record this first incident. I texted my best friend who is a fellow believer and told him I'd send him the video-only to discover the video was completely gone. There was no trace of me recording even though I had clearly done so. Freaked out, I sit on the curb on my driveway and watch the sky. A shooting star appears and flies right into the spot I saw the craft disappear from view. I try to calm down and I make a wish as one is supposed to do. I'm sitting there watching the sky closely and, texting my friend. I get the strange feeling I am being watched so I stand up and shout "I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE THERE." Five minutes pass and I see the craft again (possibly a separate UFO of the same kind). I am so frightened this time, not only because it has reappeared but because it seemed to have heard me. It comes from the same direction I saw the first ship, but takes a slightly less direct route. It makes no sound this time. Again, I try to record it with my phone. This time, my phone actually goes completely dead out of nowhere. The craft lazily disappears out of view, the same way the other one did. I sit down again and begin to shake. My heart is racing and I'm scared for my life and my sanity. I keep watching the sky only to see four or maybe five shooting stars all in the same area I saw the UFO's. Just as I'm about to go inside and charge my phone and grab another cigarette, a third craft appears. This time, it's coming from the left of me, and it seems closer than before. The craft appears to have a rotating circle of white lights that almost look like stars. The orange hue is very prevalent and I can clearly make out the shape... It's almost like a "cigar" with lights. I watch the craft fly towards the meteor shower, make a right turn, and then turn into a single red light. It was almost as if it was cloaked. My friend arrives on the scene shortly after that. Scared shitless, we sit in my driveway and watch the sky. My friend points out a very skinny cloud on an otherwise clear night that follows the path I saw the first craft take. We don't see anything else for a long time, until I notice a star that is blinking and changing colors, and even moving slightly. My friend and I grab my camera and walk a few blocks, using the camera to zoom in on it. We eventually go back to my place and I can tell the inadvertent doubt has set in for my friend. "Maybe it's just a star, man." After all the things I saw last night, I can't be so sure. Not to mention, now on my iPhone there are four black images where the video files should be, and the first time I tried to look closely at them my phone died instantly.
