Auburn, WA
I was driving from Kent, Washington to Tacoma, Washington at about 10:45 in the morning. I was headed south on highway 167. I looked up into the sky to look at the clouds and I saw an airplane. As I watched the plane, a silver sphere streaked into view traveling nearly the same direction I was (north to south). The sphere was moving at a very high velocity, faster than a fighter jet. As it approached the plane, it came to a complete stop. Light was reflecting differently off of this object compared to the plane, which can be seen in the video. At this point I had my cell phone out and began recording. I did not record the object as it left, but I did see it as it left. It remained stationary for around 10 seconds before shooting off to the east at the same speed it had originally approached. It accelerated instantly. I put my phone down and continued driving. Around a minute later, two more objects, identical to the original appeared from the s! ame direction the first had come (north to south). As they hit the spot where the first sphere had stopped, these two made a right angle turn at a ridiculous speed. They did not bank, just changed direction and headed east. I did not get video of the second set of objects as I was driving on the highway and could not safely film them.

I was driving 217 towards Tigard. As I was driving I was looking at all of the com trails in the sky, I noticed a chrome object moving almost in a figure eight. It disappeared after about thirty seconds or less.

Ventura, CA
I was night sky watching with my Generation 3 goggles. As usual I see aircraft and several satellites and sometimes something I can't explain. Then a bright star looking object appeared from northwest moving southeast at a speed slower than commercial aircraft, and a height of approximately 4000 feet. The object had a slow rotating light like a lighthouse. I watched for approximately fifteen seconds then the object changed directions heading upward. I watched the object climb at a faster speed over the next thirty seconds with the slow rotating light until it was out of sight.

I watched the video the. Went out front to see if i could see it. When I looked up i was surprised to see it. It was just sitting there in the sky over Watt Ave. It has the brightest white lights and they were in a line but horizontal. It is super cold, so i went inside but checked on it at 6:28 and it was still there.

San Angelo, TX
I was heading from north to south on Abe Street, when I spotted this thing. According to my watch, it was just after six in the evening. Off to my right, this bluish white ball looked as if it were descending towards the Concho River. As I approached Santa Fe Park, the ball of light made a hard banking turn and continued to descend over the river. The object traveled from west to east. Checking the rearview mirror, I could tell that the drivers behind me knew something was going on. The car behind me began to slow down. After making Santa Fe Park Dr., I proceeded west. En route to pickup my daughter, I didn’t want to be late. But this thing was headed straight towards me. Estimating, I would say the object was no more than 700 feet from the ground. Blue-white in color and the thing sort of flickered, like an image on a television screen sometimes does. But it was that banking turn, like this thing just rolled onto course and followed the bend in the river. Thirty feet in diameter, and it wasn’t travelling very fast. In fact, it passed me slowly as it continued eastward. I’m not sure what speed it was travelling at. The thing went by silently.

Tonawanda, NY
I was driving a shuttle for the local transit company, when I saw a very large orange-red spherical object emerge from the clouds, dipping down in a swerving fashion towards the north, then north east. It was going far too fast to be an airplane, drone or helicopter. Far too big too. When it turned east, it stopped in the air completely and I could then see a blinking light. The way it maneuvered, it could not have been any traditional craft. It was very cloudy and dark outside, but the craft could clearly be seen as I described, and if the clouds were about 4600 feet, the craft appeared to be the size of a tennis ball from where I was sitting inside the shuttle, meaning it was massive in size. The shuttle has outside cameras, and I can provide the shuttle # and make if the transit company if you would like to request the video. I can say for a fact, this was not an airplane, helicopter, drone, or any traditional craft, or anything that can be explained. The maneuvering and speed was just way too out of our league. I can't get the image of how it emerged from the clouds as it swooped down in a wavy pattern, then darted up, then stopped. When it stopped and the light started flashing, it appeared to be merging with another craft and made appeared in a diamond shape with some kind of value or haze between them. It truly reminded me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

DeLand, FL
It was early in the evening, but dark due to the previously mentioned time change. I'm again, guessing but I think it was probably about 1930 hrs. I left my house to take my dog for his evening walk and as I turned westbound onto my street, I saw what I thought looked like a Chinese lantern. I watched it briefly until it disappeared behind a canopy of oak trees which lined the street. Moments later, I saw it reappear from behind the trees and a few seconds later a second one, then a third one. I would describe these "lights" as spheres with an orange/yellow color. The three looked identical and moved laterally or parallel to the ground not appearing to gain or lose altitude. I now realize that the first light I saw was the last one to disappear behind the trees just before they all reappeared. They were all equidistant to each other, and if an imaginary line were drawn connecting them, the end result would be a triangle. I don't know if these were three separate spheres, or if they were three lights on a single larger possibly triangular shaped conveyance. The spheres were last seen moving toward the west of my location towards the town of DeLeon Springs, Florida. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Spring City, PA
Driving home and close to my house, I saw a red sphere or light traveling at about 2500 feet. It caught my eye because it seemed faster than a helicopter or small plane. Definitely was not a commercial airliner. It was moving NNE and had no anti collision lights or any other lights around it. It was at a 40 to 50 degree angle from me and made no sound which I thought I would hear compared to my lifetime experience. I always watch the sky and am very interested in all aircraft. The only thing I can speculate is that it was a low flying private jet that did not have any lights on except one red light. Still it was silent.

Observed 3 objects? In night sky just over horizon. There were 3 groups of at least 3 orbs of orange red lights. Appeared to be hovering. Each appeared to flicker out one at a time.

Saw a very bright sphere. Thought it was an airplane because it was flashing. Noticed it was not moving so i grabbed my phone and zoomed in with the camera. I saw it was flashing green, red, blue, and, purple. Took video and pictures. 30 minutes to an hour later it had moved but not by much. Used trees as landmark to notice movement.

Charlotte, NC
Was on a flight taking off out of Charlotte Douglas en route to Boston, MA. A few minutes into take off (but close to cloud line), I looked out the window and saw a small grey orb with a bright led like blue light moving in the opposite direction of the plane's travel.

My wife and I are traveling east on all 421 and Yakking county North Carolina. When as a passenger in our car I observed a bright glowing light that seem to be moving and I slight right to left but in a direction towards us. As we came across a bridge the light seem to somewhat change direction from my right heading to my Lyft over a group or a grove of trees. As I made mention to this my wife observed it also as we moved to a north direction on 04 21 about 150 yards tomorrow right there were four lights red orbs to ahead of the other two in the rear of them spacing maybe in the distance is hard to tail but they were glowing red orbs as I made mention of them my wife pulled off the road and in doing so I noticed that the two in front just simply disappeared the two in the rear started to circle each other or one circling the other and obviously with some excitement we try to get out of the car quickly, but as we did we looked up and they were ! simply gone the two they had circled each other. As we started glancing in the sky, there was one orbit that move quickly behind a group of trees in the distance. We moved forward into though on the highway and it simply vanished very unusual it’s haunted both of us because we don’t think it was anything natural it was his true in a lot of it was as if they were physically controlled very unusual it’s always this since we both saw them when we can explain what they were very unusual

Red/pinkish low flying object. Looked like a steady moving drone, then suddenly ascended down at sharp speed with a trail of flashing light. Almost like a single firework, but without any crackling sound.

Marin County, CA
It started out as a large orange light hovering over the Bay near the Corte Madera marsh area. After this pulsating light hovered for several minutes, it just shut off, like somebody flipping a switch. For the next hour or more there were multiple star like spherical objects appearing out of nowhere, in groups of up to 7 to 8 objects. There was a group of 5 orangish brown plasma looking objects at treetop level in between 2 hillside homes. A group of 4 objects in a perfect square or box formation was seen with a fifth object on the right. Triangular formations were seen multiple times and a perfect diamond formation with 4 lights was also seen with 2 lights in the middle in a 12 o'clock-6 o'clock position. I stopped a person walking down the street to get his opinion on what we were seeing. He saw about 15 to 20 of these plasma looking hovering lights in the roughly 10 minutes of observation. He commented on how there would be another light appearing roughly every 15 to 30 seconds and that these lights swarmed around each other in groups. I believe these objects are the same "tic tac" lights as were involved in the Navy Nimitz encounter and I have seen these lights constantly almost every night up until the fires started on 11-08. There were unbelievable sightings on 11-02 and on 11-03 of these star like objects again. This night of 10-24 had never ending orb like spheres appearing for over an hour. I estimate there were at least 60 or 70 of these transparent yellow orange white objects seen.

University Place, WA
Preface: I am a former private pilot, so I am very familiar with aircraft, civilian and military. I was walking my dog through a field next to a local church on Christmas Eve evening while the church was letting out. I estimate the cloud base that evening was approx. 1000-1500ft AGL with scattered clouds. I saw an object approaching me from the NW (Narrows Bridge area here). Object was spherical in shape and emitted a brilliant, extremely coherent orange glow. I could see no other projections, wings, navigation lights, etc. Being so bright it was hard to estimate its size, but my best guess is between 1-4 meters in diameter. The object made zero noise. As it approached my direction it just skimmed the bottom of the cloud layers, moving through cloud material and lighting it up with the same orange color it was emitting. It sped up and slowed down erratically and quickly, moving very much as a living creature would as apposed to human aircraft or drone would. There was very little wind that night, so I doubt it was any type of lighter than air object. I estimate it varied in speed from 40-100mph for the entirety of my sighting. It never changed altitude. (~1000-1500ft) As the object got closer it did a gradual turn to the south and moved parallel to my location. It flickered as it moved. When it was moving slower the flicker rate was slower, as it sped up it flickered faster, and at a certain point it flickered so fast as to smooth out and appear as a steady light. Oddly, my dog actually looked up at it and barked at it. He really never barks or even notices aircraft for that matter. It was quite strange. I always carry a military grade 1000 lumen flashlight with me when I walk the dog at night, so as it went by I shined my light at its direction at full power, then switched it to strobe mode to see if I could 'get its attention' – it didn't seem to take notice of me or react in any way. It continued south for another 30 seconds then turned to the south-west and faded away in the distance. I found it somewhat odd no one in the nearby parking lot seemed to notice the object flying over. As far as I could tell no one was looking up at it but me. I should note, this is the second time in my life I have seen a glowing orange orb type object. The exact same type of object flew right over me in 2012. (I'm 51 years old as of this date)

Farmington Hills, MI
Approximately 8pm, clear dark night, October 24, 2018. Upon returning home from work, just as any typical evening, I took my dog out for a walk. While doing so, I noticed a blue and red flashing light. Seemed out of place but initially didn’t think it was anything more than maybe a satellite I just haven’t noticed before – I am a sky watcher, so slowly I realized that wasn’t likely. Next thought was it was a helicopter – I know some have blue and red flashers on it. After a few minutes of looking, I realized it wasn’t moving with any kind of trajectory at all – eventually realizing it wasn’t a normal aircraft or satellite once it stopped and stayed in location. Over the course of 15-20 minutes it would make some slight movements in one direction or the other but mostly stayed in a general area. To my eye its adjustments were fractions of a cm. I began to notice brighter lights – multiple. 2 or 3 at first. Over the course of time I noticed roughly 8 or 9 different Jet style craft covering the area seemingly searching this object out. They would make passes, turn and make return passes. Some were much lower than I am used to seeing planes fly, others a bit higher in altitude but all doing the same search patterns. I knew for sure the first object was different indeed at that point mostly due to its oddly blinking lights and pattern of the blinking along with the ability to move and stop without any typical trajectory. Planes and odd lights I see all the time, but they all off PATHS they are flying – any change in direction is preceded by a curved trajectory. This object did not follow this typical movement. In fact, it seemed to vanish at times by eye and on video it looked to expand becoming opaque before contracting again. Hard to even describe. I had eyes on all of this for well over an hour from different vantag! e points By eye showed as a small dot, on video looked like a disc on its side or a sphere. Its color pattern ranging in colors from blue to red to green by eye, but on video you can see pinks, oranges, yellows. This is clear on the video. It also seemed to morph as its colors shifted.

I was driving into work this morning and looking at the beautiful clear full moon when a large white sphere appeared right next to the moon. It was huge--way too big to be a star or an plane. I watched for about a minute and decided to stop and take a picture. When I got out to take the picture, it totally just disappeared.

This ufo sighting was told to me by a very credible witness. The sighting was too good to ignore and I had to report it here. This happened on Monday 10/22/18 at around 23:30. A group of friends in their early 20's were hanging out near the intersection of Channel Islands Blvd and Rose Ave., when one guy told the group to look up and notice this large round coffee table sized white orb with blue and green colors bordering the white light. As soon all eight witnesses laid eyes on this ufo, it took off in a northerly direction leaving a trail like a comet. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Very large orb of light making a quick downard zigzag motion before disappearing. It was a very light blue.
