Idanha, OR
I saw what looked like two symmetrical clouds like two half circles spread apart from each other moving fairly quickly across the sky. When it got above me, there was a small dark object in the center omitting a light similar to on headlight on a vehicle except much brighter. I live up in the wilderness in a very small town of 125 people. I was outside with my dogs before work. I went inside and drew a sketch. There was a small plane crossing the sky much lower than the object.

White Sulphur Springs, MT
Was hunting with my brother. I was looking through the binoculars, trying to see where he was on the ridge. I saw movement above the timber line. I focused on it. It was an eye shaped craft of white or silver color. I couldn't really tell, since the sun was shining on it. It hovered for a few minutes and then was wobbling like it was having a hard time holding its location. Then it moved behind the timber. It was not a plane or helicopter. No wings or tail. No windows or anything. I got a very clear look at it. Was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. It was also very large. Bigger than an airplane.

Prescott, AZ
My husband and I were driving home from Phoenix arizona to Prescott arizona and on the way back home we saw this red light floating across the sky and it would be real close then out of no where be far away and so on so forth we thought it was a plane at first then we got into Prescott and dodny see it any longer and then as we were pulling on to our street to pull into our ally there was that red flashing light again just hovering over our house and I yelled to my husband babe there is that light again and as I started to drive again after stoping it started to move and change colors red then green then blue and the close we got to our house the more it moved away so we hawled ass to our car port and saw it up close it was the shape of a donut, a circle shape with a whole in the middle of it, like a donut real thick and tall about the size of a car from 300 yards away and the under neath had 6-10 cirle lights and when we stoped to get out of the car it vani! shed in thin air how idk how but it was way to big to be a drone and to low to be a plane or helicopter and it made no noise we live where there is mountains behind us and trees and it was no where to be found when we got out of the car I have never ever seen something so crazy in my life it was a game changer.

Missoula, MT
High in the sky with a starlike appearance. However an amber light to the top right beside the "star". It made small movements, forward and back to position, over and over. Its movement was easy to miss if you didn't stand still and watch. Then it was very obvious. My husband saw this same appearance night before last, and it lasted about 10 minutes or so. We wonder whether the witnesses might have been looking at a "twinkling" star, possibly Sirius?? PD

York, ME
I was driving down a part of route 1 when I looked out the window and noticed some lights in the near distance in the sky. There were two bright bluish-white lights on either side of the object, and then a flashing white light in the middle/front. For a minute, I figured it had to be a plane - the two lights on either side and the flashing light looked almost exactly like how a plane would look flying at night, and I thought I could make out the shape of the two wings on either side. But something was still really strange about it. As I kept driving, I noticed the object seemed too close to the ground to be a plane. York is only a town over from an airport, so it's not abnormal to see planes that aren't very high in the sky because they're taking off or landing. But this object was WAY lower in the sky than any plane I've seen, so that really had me questioning whether it was actually a plane. Then, as I got even closer, I realized that if this thing was a plane, how could I have been getting so close to it. If this thing really was a plane, it would have been gone long before I could have even questioned whether it was a plane. But I kept getting closer and closer to it. That's when I started thinking maybe it was some tower with lights (also not an uncommon thing to see, but not something I had ever seen on this road before). When I finally caught up to it, I kept looking straight up at it and I thought it was a tower of some sort for sure. It didn't look like it was moving, so I thought "case closed".... Until it started matching my speed. This is when I really started to freak out a little. Towers obviously don't move, but I have NEVER in my life seen a plane FLOAT and then go as slow as a car. I also noticed that it had very similar plane-like features such as what looked like wings, but it also looked somewhat like it had multiple edges to it. What really got to me was the fact that I felt like it was almost following me. It was moving almost exactly at the same speed as me and going in the same direction. Then, I finally made a turn onto another road, and then I freaked out even more because the object started going in the same direction as me again! I was almost at my destination so I decided I would just wait until I arrived there to continue looking at the object. But, after only peeling my eyes away for a few seconds to look at the road, it was gone when I looked back. When I finally got out of my car at my destination, I noticed a lot of dogs were barking and making noise, which only amplified the strange feeling. This experience was really strange and scary. A part of me wants to believe and on some level thinks that it was just some weird plane, but even tho I didn't see any weird beams or colored lights, I have NEVER seen any plane shaped or act like this before, and I definitely have never seen a plane disappear into thin air within a matter of seconds.

West Palm Beach, FL
Was approximately 13:00 give or take a few min. I was standing outside. The sky was very clear except for some downward looking wisps about 5 of them separated equally with the same size of separation as their actual size and they were positioned North North West of my location as well as being the actual geographicly.it was as I was looking at this particular formation I noticed 2 high flying birds possibly hawks in the same area. It was then that I saw something just silently hauling ass in a near perfect westward direction. At first I thought it must be a third bird but I also noticed it was lighter in color and seemed to be moving incredibly fast and like I mentioned in a perfect line westward. I spent a few seconds trying to focus on better on the object I couldn't tell if it was small or larger and further away or at a much much higher altitude than a normal passenger aircraft. I've been in the military and it did not resemble any fighter jet mannerisms! at all. Upon continuing to focus in i could see the shape almost disc saucer like but more like a streamed down shape of an egg laying in its side almost like a sleek teardrop on its side fat end would be the rear end and point would be the front. There was no chemtrail or exhaust if you will. This had to all of it take less than a minute of actual viewing of the craft. Like I stated it was hauling ass and so perfectly straight. That stood out to me a lot for some reason. The craft also was a light grey/silver in color it seemed and I also recall that it had that metallic sheen to it somewhat reflecting the sun light to some small degree and it was doing so correctly in relation to the sun's current position in the sky. It actually took longer for the facts of what I saw to finally click than the event itself lasted lol. It was incredible plain sight clear day.. I only wish I had grabbed my phone camera but it was so so fast the moment would have been lost trying to fumble! with the phone and zooming in etc. It's memory was so vivid and intense that I just had to find out if anyone else saw it and I've never thought of reporting one let alone seeing one. But I am compelled to make this report. My first one ever..

Fresno, CA
Mr. X Documentary File # 00701 THE CRAFT This is to document the factual events that occurred on or about 02Apr16, at or about 1:40am, in Southern California in the city of Fresno. The occurrence was witnessed by, and is conveyed by sworn testimony equivalent to, and with all judicial authority, as stated under oath by the signed witness, Mr. X. There are several items preceding File #00701, including and limited to; one drawing of Object ABC articulated by Mr. X in the presence of a close kin. After explanation to kin about Object ABC, Mr. X was asked by kin if he could draw, or recite details of Object ABC. Mr. X did articulate the main features of Object ABC on an old small paper bag. That image was then destroyed. There is a second document articulated by Mr. X detailing the occurrence encountering Object ABC. As Mr. X was exiting the freeway into Fresno, California, using GPS from his phone as he navigated to his destination. The GPS on the phone he was using began giving false readings, and performing out of its normal functional character. Mr. X attempted to adjust the GPS as he drove on the off-ramp from Freeway 99 into Modesto, CA. About 50 to 100 feet from completing the exit ramp, Mr. X saw a strange thing seemingly hovering off to the left of the exit over-pass. As he began to focus on the object, the object seemed to flip, or slip, or shape-shift, landing in the middle of the road, on top of the over pass, directly in front of Mr. X’s vehicle. He stopped the vehicle before running into the object. Mr. X stopped the vehicle, and tried to comprehend the sight of the huge craft, and make sense of what he was seeing. He tried to wake his children, and co-passenger. One 16-year old son sitting in the front passenger seat, one 14-year old son sitting in the rear passenger seat on the left side, and one female 18-year old female passenger sitting behind the driver’s seat. All passengers were asleep at the time of the sighting. Mr. X tried to wake everyone up, and even shook his son sitting next to him. Mr. X began to speak aloud thinking that someone may be awake and listening, “what is it? Look at this you guys. What do I do? I don’t understand. What am I supposed to do?” He asked. When no one responded, he tried once again to wake his son, then decided to do something he thought might be stupid. He thought that he couldn’t leave this moment without being absolutely sure that what he was seeing was real, and with no obstruction between his own eyes and the stran! ge object. (He didn’t want to wonder in the future, because he knew he was seeing something that he never had seen before.) He stepped out the vehicle with one leg, and stared at the huge object, with one hand on the door as he stood straight up. He looked at the object for about what seemed to be 7 to 11 seconds, only looking into the vehicle for a split second at his passengers, and asking if they could wake up, then looking back at the object. Just then a vehicle horn honked and when he looked back, he noticed there were two vehicles stopped behind him, and a third pulled off to the right. The Third car was the vehicle that was honking. At first, Mr. X thought that they were honking at him to get back in his vehicle before the strange craft did something to hurt him. (like he was crazy for standing out in front of the craft like that, so close.) Mr. X looked again at the craft as he got back into his vehicle, and as he clasped his seat belt, the huge craft just vanished in the plume of faint smoke or gasses, which quickly dissipated. The Thing that Mr. X is calling smoke, or gassed, can a! lso be called a mist, and even visible fumes, or a cloud of something. This action of the gasses had a visual effect something akin to a visible fume, without a smell, and was all around the craft. Mr. X then began to proceed the remaining 15 yards, or less on the off-ramp to the light. He continued to look for the object, and look at his GPS to find his way. The GPS still did not give correct magnetic north, flipping and changing routes sporadically. He drove from memory, until calling his friend that he was going to visit, and having the friend guide him to his friend’s home. Mr. X pulled into his friend’s driveway in about 8 minutes after that. As soon as Mr. X passengers began to awake, he began talking about the Strange Craft. The first thing he said to his friend after saying a brief “Hi.” Was “I just saw an Alien Space Craft”. The friend just thought he was joking, but he wasn’t joking at all, and as Mr. X began to walk, he lost control of his legs, and became weak. The friend had to hold Mr. X up and assist him in regaining balance. The passengers, Mr. X, and the friend all entered the home, and went out back to sit in a rest area of the home for a moment. The Craft was huge, Brownish-Gold, with tints of Green, Red, and Lots of Black. The texture was Hexed, or X / cross hatched, with some kind of braces running vertical along either side curving with the surface of the craft from top to bottom. The braces were of the same color, and were about three and a half lanes apart, on either side from the center where I was. The craft was about 50 to 60 feet high, and obscured at the top and sides with the strange black cloud, or fumes. At the bottom of the craft, about a foot and a half off the ground was pitch black, where the outline of the craft could be seen as it hovered close to the road. The craft did block the view of anything behind it, and the street under it. The craft made no sound, and had no smell. Just an eerie silence. Mr. X did get out of the vehicle, and look at the craft with his own eyes, and he did have glasses on so he could see the craft very clearly. The craft did appear from hovering off to the left of the freeway, and did move very quickly (impossibly quick), and stopped on a dead stop in the center of the roadway. The craft did vanish, with the gas or smoke leaving a few seconds after the craft vanished. The roadway became clear and lit, and the yellow center, and white lane lines became visible all the way across the overpass, where Mr. X was to drive. This is the sworn testimony, and statement of Mr. X, who is identified yet requests to remain anonymous for as long as possible. The events described within this report are true and accurate to the best of my recollection, and in in no way fabricated, or made-up. I swear to what I saw, and I am MR. X. I have no understanding for what I saw, and I know that the nature, and actions of this strange craft was not of anything that I have seen on Earth. I hope this report helps, as I was asked to document the events of the evening on which I saw this Strange Unidentified Craft. Signed: Mr. X

Toms River, NJ
Myself and three other witnesses saw a small aircraft speeding, on a decline with a orange/yellow glow. We followed it thinking it was a small plane or helicopter losing control, speeding fast and nosediving. We were in our truck following it thinking it could possibly crash into residential homes or to the Bay. As we got closer in chase, approaching the woods on our left and the baseball field on our right, it came to a complete halt behind the baseball field, hovering above a home and behind trees. We turned the corner of the right side of the ballfield and pulled over. We looked up and saw a octagon/hexagon shape aircraft with a blue light on one side, red light on other, and while lights in the middle. The height of it in the air was probably at the height of top of water tower, it was very clear to us. Stepped out of our truck to take a picture, then I moved outside my truck door to get a better angle and the craft shifted to the right and all lights went out and was black. We could still see the shadow of it, we jumped back in the truck as it started to move behind us back to field. We still were pursuing it as fast as possible and it crossed over to the woods. We saw some men at the field watching exactly what we saw, they got in their truck to follow it and then we followed them. We could not catch up fast enough as the craft went back in larger wooded areas. Shortly two helicopters came flying up from behind up and were surveying the area with spotlights. We were told to leave as they blocked and closed the property entrance to the woods, the was the last we saw of it.

Granite Bay, CA
Around 10pm, I was lying in bed and saw what appeared to be a red light in the northern sky, through my sliding glass door. I got up and looked at the sky from my deck. As I watched it, it turned colors: red, blue, white and green. Upon closer inspection, I could see it was a cluster of lights. It was stationary. It did not appear to be a plane. I watched it for about 2 minutes as it remained stationary and changing colors every 3-4 seconds. I began to think it may be a star, but then it moved slowly to my left and then my view of it was obstructed by large trees at the back of my property. I returned to my bed and was lost in thought about what I may have just seen. As I was thinking about it, I turned my head to my sliding glass door and there it was again! In the exact same spot that I initially saw it before it moved to my left. I watched it again for at least another full minute. And then, right before my eyes, it vanished. I have done a internet search and was amazed and excited to see that the exact same thing has been seen before! Same colors and all, but primarily on the East Coast. UFO? Very possibly in my opinion.

Rockville, MD
I was facing in the direction of the sun, when I noticed two small white/metallic objects about 30 to 40 degrees below and equidistant to the sun (This is my best estimates). The objects were oval shaped maybe 1/10 to 1/20 the size of sun in comparison. At first, I thought these were two small clouds, but I noticed that these were unusual looking since they had a "shiny metallic and reflective texture" for clouds. I turned to my friend to see if they saw it as well. They confirmed the two objects, and found them to be very strange in appearance. By the time I turned around to lend them my sun glasses to get a better view, the two objects had disappeared. This whole incident occurred in a matter of seconds. I am open to the idea that this could have been an atmospheric phenomena if someone could explain this, but for now, I feel these were two objects which were unidentifiable.

Taos, NM
On this day 1/29/16, slightly after midnight, I live in a small town called Tres Piedras,and was looking towards the town of Taos, NM, which is 27 miles away. I saw 2 large bright red lights that were at least a football field apart, from my point of view. They behaved as if it was one object ,even though they were very far apart, and appeared to be flying like a glider circulating around Taos mountain. It eventually after about 10min disappeared into some clouds in the eastern sky. There were no sharp angle turns, or high speed takeoffs, it just drifted into clouds. The only reason this caught my attention was because of its size. I also know that military craft fly red lights only. Whatever this was, it had to be huge. I was almost 30 miles away,and if I held a dime up,that would have been the distance between the 2 lights. I'm certainly most curious if any other reports came in. It's been several years since my last report, and I only report if its something that I can't explain. Thanks Peter, and everyone involved processing the mountains of reports you receive.

Between Mogadore Ave., NW/west to Uniontown Square/approx over minigolf business .2 circular varying to square blinking light patterns of green ,yellow,red,blue,clear, orange,translucent at time like jellyfish background,low intensensity pin point lights like when round firework fading when shot off.Watched well over an hour.Possibly emitting low hum.Finally slowly left when plane heading to Akron/Canton airport within approximately quarter mile went past eastside of object. Third object was east of Mogadore Ave.N.W,and approximately less than quarter mile of cell phone tower on east side of Mogadore Ave N.W.This was the first one my mom seen and claims she has been seeing.I was angry, it was 1:30 am, got up and there it was,also had binoculars.Objects seem for better lack of word,semi cloaking.Hopefully others saw this,not happy seen this stuff.My guess manmade flying objects,also when went outside weather cleared up right away when all objects hovered about ! and clouded up when left,I got better things to do than try to process this info.Plus no ones going to believe us.

East Aurora, NY
I was driving to work on Seneca St. toward East Aurora on an overcast cloudy morning, and observed something in the sky in front of me. I could not see it well or make out what it was. I thought it might have been a helicopter as it was hovering, but did not stay in the same spot for long, kind of odd erratic movement. It suddenly went sideways off to the left (eastward) as if the wind was blowing it. Got a better look at it and it appeared to look like a branch type stick, was in a lateral position. It then moved upward into the clouds and disappeared.

Niles, MI
As the tail moved away from the moon's face it disappeared. My wife and i began rationalizing what we just saw trying to explain it away, but could not. A few minutes later, the line reappeared at the 1 o'clock position. The size had not changed and the angle it traveled across the moon face was the same. This time it decended from 1 o'clock to its original position between 10 and 4. It only covered the right half of the moon during this transit. When it reached its original position between 10 and 4, it exited via the 4 o'clock position. Once we lost sight of the silhouette second time, it never returned.

Tacoma, WA
Seen out a north facing window. Appeared as a large, balled up sheet of paper on fire, and was moving rapidly south, just east of I-5. I ran outside and saw it continue southward silently at about sixty mph. It neither slowed down, nor speed up. It traveled straight and level and, as I wrote before, was completely silent. The weird thing-as though that wasn't weird enough-was that the orange glow and subdued flames were not streaming behind it. The flames/glow were as if it was actually a stationary object even though it was traveling through the air (as I wrote) at about sixty mph. It soon disappeared behind a tall stand of firs, where I lost track of it.

Parked in front of home waiting for my girl to drive to the train. Looking out my driver side window (think it is East Rockaway Beach is that direction) Looking at what I think is part of the current planet alignment, planets looked bright. When from right to left, something as bright as the planets, moves across dark sky. Bright “round-ish” light, no form to say, very far away, moving quickly from my right to left. I am amazed, just looking at it. My girls comes outside, I rolled down passenger window and told her to look. She said, "Yes yes, stars are nice." I asked do you see the moving one… Holy ((deleted))! She saw same as me. We both looked in amazement. I had about a minute view before she exited our home, and about a minute together looking before we had to go to the train. The object moved from my right to left in the sky, it did look like it had an arch kind of path, not sure to explain, but did not look like a straight line. We live near airports and highways, flight path is right over us and helio's are always around. I know what they look and sound like, and are much closer than what I saw, even at high altitude. What I saw was no plane, very far away and sure looked like it was cutting across the sky faster than planes I know. It was as bright as the planets I was looking at. Hope some people saw it too. Maybe space junk? Saw this posted when I was looking to see if anyone saw the same as me. http://spaceflight101.com/re-entry/2015-075b-briz-m-break-up/ If it is something in orbit, I wonder if will see around same time again tomorrow morning. Was cool start to the morning, whatever it was!

Around 7pm driving north up I-91 approaching Norwich exit, first one very bright gold/yellowish light appears then fades as another appears then fades away. To the left another of the same kind of very bright light appears..there were three total and kept appearing then fading away for maybe 30 seconds total. Few minutes later driving north on Rt 5 Thetford looking left into sky over field, same lights no particular pattern but very bright, appear then fade. Slowed car to really look, window down, couldnt see anything and there was no sound. Minute late, what looked like a series of military heat flares dropped down in succession, transponder lights off in distance heading north.

Ivor, VA
My boyfriend and I spend our weekends in a very rural part of Virginia working on his 15 acre undeveloped property he bought last year. At 3am I stepped outside for a cigarette and walked towards the end of the driveway. I was drawn because I noticed that there were an unusual number and arrangement of stars in the sky. There were too many of them to begin with, they were bright and they FILLED the northern sky. As I stood there I saw that many were not stationary. In college I took physics of the universe and realize that stars can have a slight wobble; however, these objects were clearly moving closer… I stood there transfixed until finally I went to get my boyfriend. He was not too thrilled to be urged out into the freezing cold at 3am, but obliged. We stood at the end of the driveway and tried to take a video, but because there is not a street light nor neighbor within close proximity we were only able to capture our commentary. The objects were spinning, moving erratically, stopping and darting and changing colors. We noticed one extremely low in altitude to our left. We hopped in the car and dialed 911 as the sight we felt should be seen by someone in law enforcement, if only to give more credit to what we were seeing. The operator sounded completely annoyed as I tried to convey the magnitude of what we were witnessing. When we found a field, we pulled over and parked. We were encircled by flying objects in the sky. One with red X's and white lights circling its perimeter flew across the sky at a faster rate than others. The smaller ones formed spiral/circular patterns overhead. I used a flashlight to 'communicate.' I wasn't sure what I would accomplish, but I didn't feel scared or threatened. I think it coaxed the objects to come even closer. We had one overhead that had a green light on the underbelly. There was an SUV that I think must have seen everything as the driver stopped on the road by the field and then sped off. This is why I listed the witnesses as 3. What we saw was undeniably the most surreal and bewildering experiences I have ever had. We drove to a 24 hour gas station and then onto another field where we witnessed more of the same and a larger, triangular shaped object with white lights on the corner which tilted and flashed in the middle where two smaller objects circled each other. We watched these objects overhead until the sun rose. It was absolutely the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I have no other explanation other than alien craft. What I saw could not have been driven by or made by human hands.

1/18/2016 7:41 a.m. central time was heading north on highway 141 just north of Coleman WI. Saw an object far off in the distance to the north heading straight towards the ground. Was bright like a falling star, then disappeared at the horizon. Possible meteor?? PD
