Scotts Mills, OR
I saw a VERY shiny round aircraft in the sky that wasn’t moving at all. It stayed in the same spot for appox 1 minute then in the blink of an eye it was on the other side of the sky. It stayed in that spot for appox 4 seconds then literally vanished.

After about 30 seconds, I notice it was moving as if it was an airplane far away so I said, “Wait, never mind. That’s an airplane.” Then, the ‘airplane’ swung back to where it was at and kept moving in a swinging motion. Maybe swung about ¼”. I felt like it was a drone because of the movement it had. It would stay still for a few seconds, move up, down, left, right, in combinations. It had a blinking light to it too. The light appeared to look as if it was an object far away and was spinning. The longer I would stare directly at it, it would become blurry and I’ll look away. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I stopped at the corner of Ventura Drive and Vanderveer Road to observe. The skies were very clear and I notice this object moving across the sky. I took out my iPhone XR and I thought that I was recording the object, but later realized that I took a picture instead of a video. While reviewing the picture I looked up again and actually saw a second object, which I immediately started to film. The second object comes into frame around 16/17 seconds and which may need to zoomed in a bit as it appears to be very tiny. One thing that was noticeable was that there were no contrails, compared to the jet that comes into frame almost at the end of the video. Could be something explainable but wanted to share in case someone else reported a similar sighting.

I saw what appeared to be a shiny white sphere at a high altitude during a very clear blue sky afternoon. It didn’t appear to be moving and I would guesstimate and altitude of 20,000’ +

Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
I feel it important to report what was witnessed: On Friday, June 7, 2019, I was on my deck at home in Oshawa, Ontario Had a friend over to sky watch After we both witnessed two separate slow moving bright white lights Would in 5- 7 seconds just fade out - gone ! Time between both sightings after 10:00 - 10:30 pm The one to report to you leading up to this is quite shocking At about 10:40 I stood up with a feeling Walked across my deck to turn around to now face eastward Within seconds looking witnessed a incredibly fasting moving white orb type It's size would be that of a ping pong ball or just little smaller Very small white within this small object - illuminated light It came from the east and swooped downward over my garage roof Like skipping over and then hooked in upwards motion and then vanished on the lift up I would say I was no more than 30 feet away what I had just witnessed I have seen them much higher above on as bigger object lights Yet this one being so close and it's size so small Ponders was it biological or other unknown origin ? So close and so small is the shock factor for me

Indian Orchard, MA
Looking almost to zenith, slightly NE. Saw small metallic sphere above clouds. Moving slowly from roughly N to S. Wind direction was in same general direction. Used cloud motion to gauge direction and speed, assuming Mylar balloon. Object stopped in relation to cloud motion, then moved E before continuing S. Finally lost to sight when blocked by floater.

At first I saw pulsating lights headed west board that lit up every second leaving a slight visual echo for a total of 5 times. Then from the south, came a small orb. Seemed to very high in the sky, it proceeded north until it suddenly then followed the other craft west bound. This one was much slower. It would pause briefly. It would also do a small circle and then proceed onwards. This took place over 5 minutes until it was out of my sight.

Leavenworth, KS
On back porch smoking a cigarette observing the stars. Out of nowhere, behind me an immensely bright flash of whitish/blue light catches my attention. At first thought it was a plane, a satellite, Helll I even tried to rationally think it was a lightning bug, but it was neither of those things. UFO would flash extremely bright, then disappear then along the same path would randomly flash again and continued to do this on the same path for about 10 minutes until I lost sight of it behind the tree line. I also at one point what saw a blueish hued tunnel of flashing light that happened when the ufo was about halfway across my view of the sky. Last but not least two orange orbs came into my eye view before losing view of the originally seen craft.

I'm laying in my bed and I look out to my window and I noticed a object that presumably looks circular and has red yellow and white lights in a non distinct pattern heading West I open up my window and try to listen for a sound in the best way I can describe the sound is a low pulsating humming sound and it's very faint and it gets fainter as it gets away and then a plane not too far behind it comes to light but then I can hear the sound of the plane and barely the sound of the aircraft

I saw this object in the distance and once it got closer I saw no blinking lights and (it) had no sound. I could see that is was sphere shaped and when I whipped out my phone it was going right over my head, and when I zoomed in you can see another circle shape inside of it. It was nor glowing or have a bright light but very distinctive. It was grey in color and when it reached where the roof started I lost it and when I moved to see it it completely disappeared when I moved angles. It was only going about 20 mph if I had to guess from how high it was. [video was taken] (MUFON CMS Report)

I was in the pool with my brother when I noticed a black sphere with green on it flying just below the clouds in between a couple of trees. I did not hear it, but it vanished beyond my sight after 10 or so seconds.

Lors d'une promenade nocturne le 31 mai 2019 à 23h30, un témoin est surpris d'apercevoir dans le ciel, à basse altitude, un PAN sphérique très lumineux se déplaçant. Il a le temps de prendre des photographies avant que le PAN ne disparaisse de sa vue en raison de la distance. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. La meilleure photographie est adressée au GEIPAN. Un mail du témoin concernant la direction de déplacement du PAN rapporte une précision importante. D’étrangeté faible et de consistance moyenne (témoin unique, photographie de mauvaise qualité), ce cas s’avère être une méprise avec la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS) (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). La description du PAN évoque très fortement l’ISS, seul satellite suffisamment lumineux pour pouvoir être photographié facilement. Le déplacement lent et régulier ainsi que la forme ronde du PAN sont très cohérents avec l’ISS, qui a justement effectué un passage dans le ciel du témoin, à une hauteur angulaire cohérente avec la description du PAN. Seule la trajectoire de l’ISS parait inversée par rapport à celle du PAN, mais le témoin a très vraisemblablement inversé les points cardinaux (déplacement du PAN de la droite vers la gauche indiqué dans un de ses mails). Ce cas est à rapprocher d’une autre observation de PAN faite à un horaire cohérent, et qui s’est avérée être une méprise avec l’ISS. Le cas est classé A, méprise avec l’ISS.

(Sorry this in all caps.) I LIVE IN NORTH SEATTLE, WA, AND I JUST WITNESSED A BRIGHT ORANGE ORB OR BALL ACROSS THE STREET FROM 24TH AVE NW AND 95TH AVE. About 1:30 am. I WALKED OUT TO HAVE A CIGARETTE, LOOKED TO MY RIGHT, SAW THE ORANGE LIGHT OBJECT AT ROOF LEVEL AND THEN AS I WATCHED, A STREAK OF A GREY/GREEN HUMAN SHAPE LEAPED INTO IT FROM THE SIDE AND THEN IT VANISHED. I felt like something realized it was being watched so it stopped whatever it was doing. I HAVE SEEN UFO ACTIVITY IN THIS AREA, GOT SOME OF IT ON MY IPHONE 6S, BUT OF COURSE, IT'S NOT GOOD QUALITY. I UPLOADED IT ON VIMEO, ((name deleted)) ON GOOGLE. Anyway, it has me shaken up. I feel like I saw something, like a shooting or a kidnap, and I know that no one will believe me. Since I'm the only witness to this. Thank you.

At approximately 9:48pm on May 30, 2019, as i was getting home from picking up my girlfriend We observed a bright white orb UFO casually moving oddly in the sky above my house slightly to the northeast not very far i say maybe 250-600 yards away from where we were standing in my backyard. I strangely noticed my camera from my phone was getting slightly out of focus every time i was trying to stay still and record like as if the ufo was making some kind of electronic scrambling ufo signals towards my phone. It moved from north to east real fast making absolutely no noise and no blinking, just super bright white orb object weaving and zoning making weird fast movements a commercial aircraft couldn’t do and at the very end it disappeared turning slightly off and on then completely turning off. Me and my girlfriend were discombobulated after it disappeared. It also affected us emotionally like it sent out some kind of stealth ufo signals towards us making us feel out of place for 2-3 hours.

As I was leaving work when I noticed a bright light moving from west to east as I was facing the direction of south It looked like a flaming orb moving at about 300 mph and then I noticed another, so I managed to get my phone camera out and record the second one it was moving in the same direction and the same speed with no sound. I estimate the altitude at 5000 feet.

This sighting is from the leeward coast on a clear beautiful evening where stars are easily seen and I am familiar with the night sky, know constellations, stars, planet locations ,etc. use astronomical telescopes, frequently see satellites passing over and local commercial and military aircraft are common here on Oahu. I was looking North East in the direction of Ursa Major handle pointing to Spica in Auriga when I saw a satellite passing Northeast. It or something else nearby winked a bright light and went out, just one flash. This was at satellite distance. I did not see the satellite again. Seconds after a gray 5-10 foot sphere much closer maybe 500 feet above moved right over my property towards ocean West in direction of Kauai over the ocean. It was absolutely silent and was not a normal drone with wings, propellers. It was not hovering but moving in a straight line and in 2-3 seconds was gone. Its path was geometric and resolute as if moving on line of force not being driven by an airfoil. Unusual. Most military operations and civilian aircraft are offshore and helicopters that pass overhead are noisy of course. This object was not a bird like a frigate which soar over the area sometimes. Satellites as they move overhead often change their light because they are rotating in the light of the sun. I have many times seen them wink a bright light, whether this is due to the sun or is intentional light semaphore being used is equivocal. The sphere may have been coincidental and was an unusual "drone". Worth reporting to your database. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dusk, almost dark, about an hour after sunset I was looking up in the vicinity of Spica as I often do at this time of night to see if any satellites are going over... I saw a bright flash of light and at first I thought it must be a satellite rotating thus making a flash by reflection of the sun but there was no repletion of the flash of light. Then a sphere at a much closer altitude maybe 500 feet passed quickly East to West right over my head (it was not a bird!) It was gray and travelled quickly in a straight line East to West out of sight in 5 seconds. There was no sound whatsoever. It might be an advanced drone of some kind. The odd thing is the bright light flashing before I saw it like seeing Spica but the it wasn't Spica which was further to my left in the sky. Then this sphere floats right past East to West but moving quickly. Possibly military drone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was walking my dog when I saw a turquoise star about the current size of Jupiter in the night sky. It was stationary and appeared out of nowhere. I watched it for about a minute but saw no other lights on the object. It appeared to be stationary in the sky. The color was extremely unusual along with the fact that there were no other lights on the sphere. I watched it for awhile wondering if it was possibly a drone but it was too high in the sky and too still and had no other lights on it and as I considered this it disappeared before my eyes. It just dissolved. This seemed to confirm it was either an object that was instantly covered by clouds or it turned on a cloaking feature or had some strange technology that enabled it to perform this strange feat. Later, as I got closer to my home and approached my house, my spouse came out and I saw the turquoise star-like sphere object reappear over the neighbors roof line. It then disappeared again after a few seconds.
