Well all I have to say is this isn’t an ordinary flying object encounter I believe this was an OBE with highly intelligent life form I’ve been experiencing my entire life it started when I was a child I had an OBE I use to observe myself sleeping being young I had no knowledge of what was going on at that time due to my parents education was less than high school so I couldn’t talk to them about what I was experiencing but with this platform I can now talk about my experiences, it only occurs at night when I’m sleeping and I know when this event is about to happen my brain receives some kind of signal that puts me in a different state of being just like with that organic oblong being I could see through the object as it approach me while sleep in my bed the strange thing is my wife is in the bed with and somehow it only isolated me for the contact as this oblong organic object approach me I didn’t fear it and I could touch it, it was soft and rubbery in touch and I could breathe in it as it consumed my entire body but could not see anything but I could communicated with it in English it gave me a name but could not remember ( I know this sound like it’s out of a movie ) but this is for real I don’t speak on it fear of being called crazy and I would like to say there is some sort of fascination for asshole probing its as if their putting something in me and even after the procedure I mean days later I can still feel something inside of my rectum just wanted to let you’ll there is more to this than UFO’s thanks for an outlet.

Bright white disc slightly bigger than a plane (very bright). Flying low altitude approximately 0105hrs in the morning. It was not an airplane or shooting star. The speed of craft was faster than an airplane which would be landing at Bournemouth or Southampton Airport. I saw this Twice in the space of 1 hour. And then the lights just turned off whilst the craft would still have been in view as if it just vanished. And a few months ago before I saw this with my own eyes. I was driving my own personal car where there was like an electro magnetic pulse and my car made a humming sound and like a little pop and my car just randomly turned off and factory reset itself whilst I was on the road at about 1230hrs in the morning

Probable conventional[R] De Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Rhône-Alpes · France
Le 19 juin 2023, entre 18h22 et 18h30, un témoin circulant en voiture sur la « Route des Espagnols » reliant Les Arcs 1800 à Peisey‑Vallandry (Savoie) observe un objet sombre isolé dans le ciel. Il s'arrête, descend du véhicule et observe le phénomène à l'oeil nu pendant plusieurs minutes, avant de le filmer et de le photographier à deux reprises avec son téléphone. Deux randonneurs, inconnus du témoin, sont également vus en train d'observer le phénomène. L'objet disparaît après huit minutes, lorsque le témoin reprend sa route et qu'un virage masque sa visibilité. Le témoin décrit l'objet comme une structure cubique et creuse, de teinte gris foncé à l'aspect métallique, portant sous elle un élément assimilé à une planche reliée par un fil. L'ensemble est perçu comme silencieux, immobile ou dérivant très lentement, porté par le vent, sans clignotement, halo ni émission lumineuse. La consistance* du cas est jugée bonne, malgré le témoignage tardif (juillet 2025) de l'unique témoin ayant signalé l'observation au GEIPAN. La durée de l'observation permet une description détaillée et cohérente, complétée par une vidéo et deux photographies exploitables. L'étrangeté ressentie par le témoin repose sur la forme perçue, la longue visibilité et l'absence de bruit ou de mouvement perceptible, caractéristiques qui diffèrent de ses références pour des objets aériens connus. Cette impression est renforcée par la présence d'un élément suspendu sous l'objet, conférant à l'ensemble un aspect inattendu. *Selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. L'analyse photographique nuance toutefois certains éléments de la description. Sur les images, l'objet ne présente pas les caractéristiques géométriques d'un cube rigide : aucune arête franche ni structure anguleuse n'est visible. Sa forme apparaît plutôt rectangulaire aux bords arrondis, évoquant davantage une surface souple ou une enveloppe textile que des parois métalliques. L'élément suspendu est bien visible et confirme une configuration objet principal avec charge, classique dans les dispositifs aérostatiques tels par exemple un parapente. Une estimation géométrique basée sur les caractéristiques de l'appareil photo et la taille apparente de l'objet dans l'image indique une dimension angulaire d'environ du double de celle de la Lune (~1,2°). En retenant une fourchette de distances possibles incluant l'estimation du témoin (entre 100 m et ~500 m) et l'estimation de l'élévation angulaire donnée par le témoin, soit environ 15°, on obtient une altitude comprise entre environ 26 et 140 mètres au-dessus du point d'observation, et une taille réelle probable comprise entre environ 2 et 10 mètres, cette valeur étant cohérente avec les dimensions d'une voile de parapente (voir annexe 1 : analyse par outil IPACO*). Le comportement du phénomène est déterminant : rester presque immobile pendant huit minutes, sans bruit ni chute, suppose nécessairement un objet porté par l'air. A cette altitude, un objet massif tomberait rapidement ; un engin motorisé produirait un bruit perceptible ; un drone présenterait des structures de sustentation visibles. L'absence de déplacement significatif indique une vitesse horizontale très faible, estimée inférieure à un mètre par seconde, compatible avec une simple dérive dans un vent léger ou des ascendances thermiques locales, fréquentes en zone montagneuse. Les données météo des deux stations les plus proches confirment un vent général faible de direction variable (4 à 10km/h). Les hypothèses suivantes ont été examinées et écartées : aéronef conventionnel, drone, ballon météo officiel, phénomène astronomique, phénomène atmosphérique particulier, engin spatial ou militaire. Toutes sont incompatibles avec la forme observée, l'absence de bruit, la très faible vitesse apparente ou les conditions d'observation de jour. L'hypothèse retenue est celle d'un objet artificiel léger porté par l'air : ballon artisanal, voile textile ou dispositif improvisé assimilable, muni d'un ballast stabilisateur (l'élément suspendu visible sous la forme principale). Il pourrait aussi s'agir d'un vol bivouac, alliant utilisation d'un parapente et transport du matériel nécessaire au bivouac. La forme du dispositif suspendu est en effet très semblable à celui du sac dans lequel se glisse le parapentiste, et la forme supérieure semblable à celle d'un parapente, vu de côté et de quasiment dessous, ce qui donne une fausse impression de forme cubique. L'impression de rigidité et de masse décrite par le témoin s'interprète alors comme un biais de perception lié à la distance, à l'absence de repères de profondeur et au contraste visuel important entre la teinte sombre du PAN et l'arrière-plan du ciel très clair. Des enveloppes textiles gonflées par l'air, comme celle d'un parapente, peuvent donner visuellement une impression de dureté trompeuse lorsqu'elles sont observées en altitude. Des recherches ont été entreprises afin de déterminer s'il existait une activité encadrée, une animation publique, un projet scolaire ou une installation artistique impliquant un lâcher d'objet volant dans ce secteur et à cette date. Aucune trace n'a été retrouvée dans la presse locale, les annonces publiques ou les communications institutionnelles. Nous avons également cherché à déterminer si un vol bivouac en parapente aurait pu avoir lieu dans la zone d'observation, qui fait partie d'un secteur de décollage parapente officiel, sans succès. Notons que le délai important mis par le témoin à rapporter son observation a compliqué les recherches. En conclusion, le phénomène observé correspond très probablement à un objet artificiel léger porté par les flux d'air locaux, éventuellement un parapente équipé pour un vol bivouac, mais d'origine précise non retrouvée. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en « B » : observation probable d'un objet artificiel type parapente en vol bivouac porté par le vent.

I took my dog out and looked up and saw two bright green, what looked like still meteors. They slowly faded away after a few minutes. I thought it could be a laser but it was above the clouds and there was no beam. This is the second time I’ve seen this, the first time was roughly a month ago.

I was carefully walking the railroad tracks back home 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, and I walked into what I just assumed was a number of lightning bugs, like I said, I was watching where I was stepping I wasn't necessarily looking up and focusing until I was in the middle of it, and I Saul along the other side of the railroad track a bobbing light that was much tighter, and it's a luminescence it almost looks like a lackadaisical walker with a flashlight on the other side of the tracks. I know I'm not supposed to be on the railroad tracks at all so I quickly jumped off and kind of crouch in the longer grass and that's when it made a beeline directly at me and when it came of the tracks it hugged the ground, almost like it was making a point to traverse each track on its own. It stopped about 3-5 feet from my face and we just stared at each other for what felt like 60 seconds. Then it turned, got up on the track set i had been walking and shot due west. I stayed crouched for maybe 3 minutes or less terrified but eventually i talk to myself into getting back up on the tracks and walking thinking to myself. What am I gonna do? I got a knife on me versus is it gonna take me to go to take me so I'm just gonna walk this I walked directly at it, and it stayed a distance away. I walked through what had to of been 100 are over that flashing orbs on each side of me and I eventually I got off the track as soon as I could that fertilizer plant and that's kind of what I was planning on doing to kind of end my walk as I sing, and this one fertilizer barn has great acoustics, so I was like I think most people probably would I was talking to myself. I don't remember exactly what I was saying at first, but I do remember specifically saying "they're not going to stop me from singing" and that's when the sliding door shook in response to what I was saying, like something was shaking it from behind the door deliberately, and then I swore several times. I don't know why at that point I was not white as a ghost, but then responded to me again, my shaking the door and nobody was there. It was just me I didn't take me very long to get back home we live not even a 10th of a mile from the fertilizer plant and I didn't know what to do. I don't have anybody to tell so I just video document in my account of what happened and I immediately just uploaded it. I didn't edit it or anything I've since taken that down or hit it. I've made it private because it's freaks people out. I actually had a girl that I was talking to just stop talking to me because of it, but that Upload didn't go up until two in the morning roughly, and i don't know what happened to that time.

Landers, CA
I was visiting Giant Rock after having gone to the Integratron. While there I took an image of the landscape to include the sky, I walked in between Giant Rock's separate pieces and took two pictures of the landscaping, I then had a physical reaction where I had an intense "pressure" feeling on my third eye. It was so severe that I walked back through the pieces to exit where I had entered, as I exited, I took another picture of the same image I took before I entered Giant Rock and there was an "orb" or "energy vortex" in the sky. I believe it is this object that also gave me the intense pressure sensation on my third eye. Both images were taken at 12:47 PM time stamp on June 18, 2023. I went through all of the images that I took while there and checked for any other photos for the same anomaly but there were none. The object is oval with an outline and there also appears to be a light beam next to it as well. Giant Rock has a history for UFO sightings, has nine ley lines running through it making it a vortex of energy.

Oahu, HI
It’s Sunday morning. It’s Father’s Day. Surprised my dad with breakfast and coffee. Proceeded to wash my clothes and get ready for the new work week. I proceed to the back area of our house where our washers and driers are located. I open the back door, it’s a beautiful morning. Before actually putting my clothes into the washer I stopped to admire what was such a beautiful clear morning. The skies were blue, the clouds were so white, there’s a slight breeze so the clouds moved. I live in Pauoa Valley, looking at punchbowl crater admiring the beautiful greenery all around me. The birds chirping. Perfect O’ahu weather. As I’m staring into the sky, Watching the clouds blow. It’s about 8:33 a.m I see what appears to be two extremely bright lights zooming fast in the air, as if they were chasing each other. Dancing around each other. It would disappear into mid air, and reappear at a higher or lower altitude. As I continued to watch this happen, my phone was in the house, it would take me 15 seconds from the back door to grab it. I didn’t want to leave. I felt if I left to grab my phone even for only 15 seconds, what I saw/witnessed would disappear. I ran in the house, I grabbed my phone, before recording I visually located the objects, immediately I see the lights proceeded, dancing around one another and zooming in mid air disappearing again. As if they were playing around with one another. Kinda like tag, but these objects were flying at speeds I can’t even explain. These lights were bright. I started recording I got it on video for 1:08 seconds. I couldn’t believe in what I was seeing. I stopped recording and called my mother to run down the stairs and come to the back as fast as she could, I needed a witness. My mother got to me in seconds. My father proceeded to follow my mother thinking something was wrong because I called frantic. I did not want to seem like I was crazy, or just wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. I pointed it out to my parents in the sky, and they witnessed it with me for a minute or a little more. These objects were flying extremely fast. It looked circular shaped but when zooming through the sky, and the lights it almost looked like one may have been triangular shaped and the other circular. There was a shadow, like a dark ring around the object. Myself along with my parents were able to witness what happened this morning. I am reaching out in hopes someone will take the time to review my video and help me justify what we all experienced. Thank you for your time.

I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable UFO hunter and fully disclose I was actively hoping to see one. However, in my entire life, this would be the first time I believe I saw one. I wrote down my report with a basic sketch immediately that night as to not forget the precise details. It is as follows: June 17 10:40PM DUBOIS, PA Object was seemingly translucent. Made visible by firework haze and lights from fireworks. Seemingly popped out of nowhere and shot off in a trajectory that was quickly obscured by neighboring house. Experience was maybe a second long. High certainty of vision at the moment. ---Current Additional Notes--- The object was most definitely a classic boomerang shape. In hindsight the object may have been black just as well. Against the night sky it could seem translucent. I was intentionally watching other parts of the sky rather than the fireworks display. The space I was observing was where it became visible. I had a straight perfect view of it. It was almost as if you could see the haze from the fireworks being navigated through by an object that was low visibility. It moved with remarkable speed and steadiness. As if turbulence or atmosphere have no effect on movement. No light associated with event. No obvious sound associated with event.

While watching the ocean below I saw a gray cylinder. There were no wings, nothing that I could see on it, no exhaust. It occurred to me that it was something strange, so I called to my husband, who leaned over to look out of my window and I asked him “What is that” and he said “I don’t know”. It was headed for a tall cloud bank, and we both saw a shadow from the cloud bank fall over it before it disappeared into the cloud, where we lost sight of it.

At 3AM, I went out to lay in the grass and smoke a cigarette. I watched something star-like hover in place at first, but then it started to zig zag, it also moved in circular motions. I watched it until 5AM, at which point it started to fly away fast in a straight line.

Paul's Valley, OK
My boyfriend and I were laying in grass at high school looking at stars ,there were low clouds but not many. All of the sudden I saw a object that was diamond shaped seem to almost float over top of us .it was big almost flew like a kite would ,it was black or dark grey with what looked like circles in each corner. It made no sound and had no lights . As it went over us it continued to fly until it was out of sight, had to have been about 200 feet above us so I got a good look at it,I just don't know what I seen .it was too big to be a kite or drone .my boyfriend had walked across the road ,only about 50 foot and when I seen it I screamed what the hell is that !!! And he didn't hear me at all .,it was like I was muted .hard to explain !

I work security for Fair Oaks. I went out side to check the back of the hotel. As I was checking I saw a bright green light in the sky. It looked like it was on fire. The color was Green. It moved slowly downwards. Almost like it was going to crash. I did not see it land nor did I hear anything. I went to check the surrounding areas immediately. Everything was extremely foggy where I could not see with in 200 feet.

Bright blue illuminating light that shot up and stayed in the air for a bit. The whole sky light up in a blue illuminating light that could be seen through the clouds. The sky stayed lingering with that color after the bright initial flash/orb left. The color of the sky then subsided and turned normal.

I have taken photos, but have never noticed this shape, light in the sky, at first I thought it was just a planet, but a planet does not move positions as quick as this does, and at around 2 hours it just disappears, when I made the photo bigger it looks like a dark colored spider with the bright light in the center. I am hoping you can put me in contact with someone in Australia so I can show them the photos I have taken. Thank you for your time. I do not know how to take the photos off my mobile phone and put on the laptop to send to you.

Unknown, but it was seen from Palmela, SETÚBAL · Portugal
I have very good eyesight and so I could see some distinct features of this phenomenon, it was an increasing energy source (bright orange) being expelled from possible cavities within its source, it was distinct from other light sources as it didn't "blink" and it was next in view to light sources that could be compared to such as radar lights, planes crossing by, city lights, chemical reactions, and a possible forest fire. I don't believe in any of this. But, it defied our known physics laws, thus, I had to report it. I tried to record it with my iPhone Pro 13, but whenever the camera came close to encountering the light source it became blurry no matter what degree of zoom I applied to it, this further strains my reasoning of possible explanations. The source gravitated for 10-12 m, as we continue our life, but I kept an eye on it (for obvious reasons), then suddenly it flashed upwards with a slight trace of light behind it, and checking it getting blurrier into what I assumed to be the stratosphere and just "Vanished"( its impossible not to leave a trace like that and suddenly disappears??). Either way, the source was definitely hot with a pasty vision blurry to it since details fail to match any man-made known machines or mechanisms.

At about 1:00 pm looking west towards above in the sky these white object were darting in different directions and different speeds and then disappearing. I was finally able to capture this attached video. At 41 seconds into video moving from the upper right to the lower left of the screen you will see it streak at a very fast rate of speed. The still photo shows what a single frame looks like.

While walking my dogs late Thursday night, the sky was clear as usual. I normally look for certain constellations during these late night walks. I noticed that Mars was extremely brighter/closer as usual. Then I noticed the star changed its color to green. The color alternated from red to green then started to drop from the sky, descending completely vertically until I could no longer view it from behind a home (street level). The drop was rapid in a straight line which seemed impossible for a jet to accomplish unless it was in a nose dive crash. I pulled out my cellular phone and recorded the descent.

I had just opened the front door of my residence to take my dog out. I saw this bright blue light which was stationary. I took out my cell phone and snapped this picture.There was no sounds and then suddenly the lights disappeared and the cube shaped thing was gone… There were no sounds or flashing nav lights that you see and hear from a aircraft. It was not a commercial plane and I’m certain it was not a drone. I’m retired from the US Air Force and flew for 18 years as a boom operator onboard a KC-135 tanker. I am certain this was not a military, civilian or commercial aircraft . This object was spotted from the southwest. My home is located less than 5 miles from Calabash and the Atlantic Ocean.

Object noticed in direct southern sky; about 45 degrees; south of bright star (planet) to the near west but lower. Traveled east quickly; high up and seemed too high and fast for a plane. I thought it was a satellite, but was traveling too quickly. Abruptly turned north, almost a 90 degree angle, and then the pattern was erratic. Whatever star (planet) was directly east from me, about 65 degrees, it was moving up and down there; disappeared (cloudy and ashy conditions). There was a definite up and down movement, in a zig zag fashion. Nothing that makes sense. I have been casually watching planets, stars, space stations, satellites. This was weird.

I saw an object that was stationary/hovering with red and green flashing lights. After studying this object for a couple of minutes, it flew quickly but smoothly to the north for a relatively short distance. It stopped and after a couple of seconds it flew back to the south in the same manner until it was out of my eyesight. Building was blocking my vision. I attempted to take video but in my haste just took a photo. Two photos attached. The second one is just magnified.
