I went outside for a cigarette around 7:25pm. I was gazing up, scanning the western sky when my eyes caught strange movement. It looked like a dark form that seemed to materialized nearly directly west of me, but I'll admit that it may have just seemed that it materialized when my eyes caught the movement. My eyes adjusted a bit and saw that the form was triangular, grey/almost translucent (hardly darker than the night sky behind it) and had three very dim lights with an almost pale greenish glow at the points of each of its triangular ends. It then flew (or continued to fly) northeast across the western sky out of view. It was flying at a lower altitude than an airplane, and I could not hear any sound although there was a bit of noise pollution from a nearby street. I don't know if I could accurately gage its size, but I'd said it was not a large craft. A single point of the triangle seemed to be the nose of the craft, as that lead the direction it was flying. The lights/craft did not rotate, cease or hover once my eyes focused on it. I tracked it across the sky until I could no longer see it, it was moving quite fast, I'd say I watched it cross the western sky in about 5 seconds. I am a very practical person, down to earth and very skeptical about UFO sightings, but this was one experience that I can't explain.

We frequently travel this road in the dark between Cleveland and Zanesville, Ohio, and have never seen anything of the sorts ever. It was low to the ground maybe right above the tree line and was very very large. Larger than a semi-truck. It also looked as though it might have had landing feet of some type. No this was not a drone.

Stetson, ME
One night a week before Thanksgiving in 2016, My friends and I were doing some stuff in the garage. when we walked outside to go into a house, we saw a craft with bright lights. It was just hovering, and then started to leave when I pulled out my phone to take photos as it started to lower from where it hovered in the sky. We didnt hear anything, and it flew over kind of slowly. I was able to get 4 pictures as it lowered and flew over us, like it was going to land nearby. The craft was triangular, and had 4 or 5 white lights, and a row of orange lights on the back that didnt show up on my camera. There is a military base nearby, but they swear up and down they do not fly anything but normal planes from the base, passenger and solo flyers. The closest I've found on google is a Nighthawk stealth bomber which were retired in 08, and would be highly unlikely to just be flying over a tiny town like Stetson, maine at 9 or 10PM a week before Thanksgiving. All 4 of us saw this, and we all remember seeing it. There are no blinking red or blue lights indicating it's a regular passenger or solo flyer. No one went missing. No one claimed to have been abducted. No one else even reported seeing it. It's a small town of less than 1200 people.

On a street that usually has a lot of street lamps but it was bitch (sic. pitch) black. There were two ufo's. One was 3 orbs lined up hovering above the second one in the shape of a triangle but the triangle legs were rectangles. You could see inside the triangles and there were red and blue lights. It almost looked as if there were little people in there. There were 3 bright lights on each end on the triangle. It was hovering not to far above the tree line. I was driving and didn't take a picture but should have. One of the weirdest things I have ever seen. It was in a neighborhood. The orbs were white. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi i did mean pitch black. Two days after i drove down the same street and it was fully lit with street lamps which it was not that night. I have been looking constantly online to see if anyone else has reported it. The date it happened on was Wednesday, November 16th. I was going 10 mph under the speed limit looking at this thing and everyone else behind me was going just as slow so i can't be the only one who saw it although i do not know how to find anyone else. I just really hope someone else reports it. I should have taken a picture when i had the chance. ((END ADDENDUM))

About 7sec later it reapers in a triangle formation 75 yards to the north of the first sighting to the other side of the road. The 3 lights came together made one light and it disappeared. The whole thing lasted about 10 to 15 sec. No solid body or frame of a craft just 3 lights.

Driving on a rural but well lit road, when it flew from the left side of the road over top of me. It then moved in a strange way then turned stopped and went into a completely different direction over trees. It was also silent.

The light listed lazily left to right in a region of about ten degree in radius overhead near dusk slightly to the SW. My acreage is far away from noise and lights and used faint stars to track its motion. There was no sound coming from the object and from time to time came to a complete standstill. With binoculars the object appeared as a bright halogen light. Once cloud cover appeared below the light it admitted a triangular glow. The cloud cover eventually obscured the light. The viewing went from clear sky to full cloud cover in the 30 minute viewing.

I was driving south east with 2 other people in the car. I seen an object in the sky triangular in shape, with a light on each corner, and an orb like light in the center which appeared to be glowing from the top as well as the bottom. It was flying approximately 100 feet from the ground and was flying very slow as I passed underneath it. When I realized it was not a plane or helicopter I took out my phone and as soon as I pressed record the flying object sped up and left the area.

Noticed an object hovering in the sky with a white headlight and flickering red and green lights to each side. Upon closer look with binoculars I could see a triangular outline. It hovered and then moved a little up and down. There were two of us observing this. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Chesapeake Bay (above; south of Annapolis), MD
Traveling north on Route 50 at 21:00 at night on November 13, 2016, we witnessed three very bright lights holding in a triangle shape, far into the sky south of Annapolis, MD, over the Chesapeake Bay. The three lights were much brighter than the planes also in the sky and were not traveling in a particular direction. The lights were solid and not pulsating, at first. They were holding their triangle shape, but seemed to be rotating around a center point. Very faintly, there appeared to be a dark mass making up the space within the triangle the lights were forming, possibly the shape of the body of a craft. After about 10 minutes, one of the lights broke away from the other two and raced north at incredible speed, pulsated, dimmed, and completely faded from view. The other two lights remained together in the sky, rotating and moving in conjunction with each other. After another 10 minutes, those lights began to pulsate, as well. They moved apart in opposite directions, dimmed, and faded from view. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Spokane, WA
I was driving home on High Drive around 9:30 pm Wednesday Nov. 9, 2016, after having dinner in downtown Spokane when this incident occurred. I was headed east on High Drive and approaching the intersection of High Drive and Grand Boulevard when I saw this giant incredibly bright object in the sky that was immediately above the treetops about four blocks away. At first, I wasn't sure if it was a panel of stadium lights, but there's no stadium anywhere nearby. I live just a short distance from where this incident occurred, and I have been there thousands of times over the past 17 years, and I have never once seen a light like that anywhere in the neighborhood. I drove toward the object, and pulled over on the south side of East 43rd Avenue, between South Scott and South Garfield Streets. What I saw was a giant triangle that was only 50 feet or so above me, and hovering above some trees in a residential neighborhood. The object appeared to be about 180 feet long (half the distance between Scott Street and Garfield Street on 43rd Avenue) and 90 feet wide. There were white lights all the way around the sides of the triangle, and it was hovering in one place and didn't make any noise. Where I pulled over by the side of the road was almost directly underneath this triangle object, and I could see dark black circles on the underside. I turned my engine off, and watched this triangle object. There was absolutely no noise coming from it. Right after I pulled over, the thing started moving slowly from east to west. I reached in my purse to grab my cell phone so that I could take a picture, and I kept looking back at the triangle when suddenly it took off faster than anything ever seen my life. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. When the object took off, it went west. It's speed was so fast that had I blinked my eyes, I would've missed it. The entire incident lasted about 10 minutes (9:30 to 9:40 pm). I know this because I had just looked at my dashboard clock as I approached the intersection of High Drive and Grand Boulevard, and I called my mother immediately afterward to tell her what I had seen. If I was to compare the size of the triangle from my perspective it to the size of a full moon, it was dozens if not hundreds of times bigger. If I was to compare the size of the triangle to my clenched fist held at arm's length, it was much, much larger. Although I was alone in my car, I am absolutely certain that there were other witnesses to this incident. When I reached the intersection of Grand Boulevard and High Drive at 9:30 pm, there were several Spokane Police officers standing in the flowerbeds of a private residence and talking to an older gentleman. They were parked in the driveway of the house on the north side of High Drive. They appeared to be looking for something in the flowerbeds adjacent to the roadway at a private home on the south side of High Drive. While I was parked on 43rd Avenue and watching the triangle, another car (vehicle #2) drove by my car. Vehicle #2 was headed east to west on 43rd Ave. and passed directly under this giant lighted triangle. I am absolutely certain the driver of Vehicle #2 saw the triangle, because it was brighter than any light I have ever seen. When I got home, I went to the Spokane News page on Facebook to see if anyone had posted anything about this. The only thing I found was a post about a car accident that occurred at 6 pm that night at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and High Drive. However, was no sign of any vehicle collision at that intersection at 9:30 pm, so I don't think the triangle object is related to the car accident earlier that evening. We spoke via telephone on two occasions, and she seemed to us to be quite eloquent and sincere. We strongly suspect that she is a quite capable, and credible, witness. PD

I was letting my dogs out and looked at the night sky. I saw a large triangular shaped object in the sky. It had lights that rotated, one close to the top (red) and several at the bottom, also rotating lights (red and blue. It appeared to have a large object circling around the body of the object. Next to it I saw a flash in the nearby cloud and another large craft showed up in the lightened cloud and it was a peach colored or yellowish pinkish orange. I am an Army Veteran. I was in law enforcement in the military (trained observer) and I pay close attention when something is out of the ordinary.

At 23:11 couldn't sleep, feeling antsy so I thought I would open blinds to let moonlight in. In the southeastern sky was a triangular shaped object with brilliant blue lights. The lights would change from blue, to red to blue and red. It was a very cloudy night and I wanted to go outside, but I was afraid it would disappear. I tried to telepathically communicate with it, but it cloaked itself and I could still see dark gray edges. It had not left, but I turned to look at the clock, and when I looked back it was gone. 23:19.

While heading into campus from the lodges to Diamond library on Nov. 8th 2016 in the passenger seat of a friends car I saw a low flying triangular object near the Whittemore center around dusk while looking out the driver side window. The aircraft was a low flying triangular shaped object dark grey in appearance with rounded edges. The object was slightly behind the Whittemore center and did not appear to be moving fast. I saw this object for a brief period of time about 5-10 seconds. When exiting the vehicle near diamond library bus stop I looked to where I had seen the craft but could no longer see it.

Walla Walla, WA
I live in rural Walla Walla, Wa. At about 12:05 AM on 11/08/2016 I was in my kitchen working on the computer. I heard a very loud rumble flying over my house so I went outside to investigate. A large triangular craft was flying over my property with three red flashing lights underneath in the center. The lights were arranged in a triangle pattern and blinked on and off together at a pace of about one beat per second. The edges of the craft were rounded and the points of the triangle were also rounded. The underside of the craft was contoured and rolled underneath along each side and tapered out to the triangle points in a series of parallel rolls on each end. The blinking red lights appeared to be deeper set in a recess in the center of the craft. The craft color appeared to be metallic silver. The craft was lighted around the edges because I could see it so distinctly. The craft flew very slowly from the northwest and flew to the southeast toward the Blue Mountains. It flew a distance of about 2 miles and was approaching the Blue Mountains when the craft appeared to be stopped in mid air for a short time and then flew on at such a slow speed it was difficult to see movement at a distance. The blinking lights finally disappeared over the mountains. The craft was so large that it was still very visible in the distance. The whole event took about 10 minutes. Unfortunately my camera was in the house and I did not want to leave to go get it. It was very dark out and no moon. The two neighbor dogs barked while the craft was overhead.

I was walking into my house when I looked up and noticed a triangular shaped object movong around 35 mph North. All of the sides were congruent to each other. The outline was yellow with a gray center red blinking light at bottom. It was around 500 feet above my house. It was too close to the ground to be a plane.

Snohomish, WA
Date: November 7, 2016. Approximate Time: Between 6:55 and 7:00 pm Location: Snohomish, WA Latitude and Longitude: Will be submitted in hardcopy report Night Sky: Clear with a First Phase Moon MY IMPRESSION: I was driving my grandchildren home on November 7, 2016, approximately 7:00 pm. As I turned onto their street, I was mesmerized and held captive by what I saw and told the children to look up in the sky. My 8 year old grandson exclaimed, “Nonna, what is that?” I said it looks like some kind of UFO craft? I slowed the car down and then stopped to view and it just seemed to drop or disappear below the tree line. I quickly put the car in reverse to see if my position was the reason I could no longer see, but the objects were gone, no lights could be seen between the trees or in the night sky anywhere ~ they disappeared as quickly as they appeared. As I pulled into my son’s driveway I told my grandson to go get his father while I unpacked the car all the while my 5 year old granddaughter was crying as she was frightened. When my son came out of the house and we both heard and saw a very loud helicopter across the Valley in the vicinity of Harvey Air Field. It took a couple of days to process everything, but I did write everything down and attempted a crude drawing. I knew I had to investigate further before submitting a report and contacted Harvey Air Field to have them check their Manifest to see if any helicopters were in the air around 7:00 pm on November 7th. There were no helicopters at that time in the air - DEAD END. Later that day, I learned that there was in fact a helicopter in that vicinity and that they were doing Military Maneuvers. RECONSTRUCTING THE SIGHTING In an attempt now to reconstruct the shape and dimension of the crafts (I’ll describe as objects for the time being), I first drew a large triangle and then at each of the three points I drew triangles - three equilateral as well as equidistant shaped triangles. Each triangular object was lit up with bright white lights that appeared to run along vertical lines moving upward to the top of the triangle which had pink or red lights at the base. The night sky was clear and the objects were illuminated by an unusually bright half moon. Later, I looked up to see if there was in fact a half moon and learned it was a First Quarter Moon. There was no sound whatsoever and the objects seemed very close. I don’t have the ability or science background to be able to report the exact size of the objects in relation to the planets and to the moon, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that what I saw were not planets or stars. When one sees planets and stars in the night sky they appear as tiny white dots, but what we saw were distinct objects ‘up close and personal’ as they say, clearly illuminated by the brightly lit moon. FINAL IMPRESSION: The entire occurrence lasted no more than a minute, but something else occurred that has taken time for me to process as it defies logic. As the objects seemed to drop below the tree line and disappear, it was at this point that I briefly took my eyes off the area to put my car in reverse and that is when I had a most unusual experience when I turned back around. I will attempt to describe. I had the impression that the objects had not disappeared but were closer, or becoming larger, and passing overhead as I could see that the center area between the three triangular points was black, darker than the night sky, and all the lights were either dimmed or turned off ~ but I could see an outline. It was at this point that I knew that the triangular objects I saw were not three separate objects, but one large CRAFT. It was gone with a blink of an eye, certainly a subjective experience and difficult to describe, but it was nonetheless my experience. ARTIST RENDERING I have an artist's drawing which I would like to submit, but I'm unable to cut n' paste the digital picture into this document. Please advise what formatting I should use. We spoke via telephone with the witness on at least two occasions, and we found her to be quite eloquent and seemingly serious-minded. We suspect she is a very reliable, and capable, witness. PD
