I heard a low flying small jet, military. Which fo not fly in this area. Coming from the ocean. Heading towards RAAF Amberly Base. Flying low and slow. Here is the really crazy bit- No nav lighting I could hear it BUT - I could not SEE it. Yep, thats right, not see it. How do i its military. Im ex RAAF. It was F18, or F22 Raptor or Stealth F17 or something secret. This plane was invisible to human eye. How bizzare is that. True account of happened, swear it in court.

Bryson, NC
While we were on a family vacation I went outside for a little bit to get some fresh air while the family was watching an intense basketball game on TV. While I was standing outside on the deck, all of a sudden I felt this huge gust of wind. I looked up and at first saw nothing. But seconds later a giant black and triangular shaped aircraft came flying past me. It made absolutely no sound. It was triangular, black, made no sound, and had a red light towards the tip of the triangle and it was flying sideways from what I could see. The only reason I knew it was coming and noticed it was because I could feel the air swooshing and heard the trees swooshing. Whatever it was was definitely powerful and flying on something that wasn’t fuel. I don’t believe it was an alien aircraft, I believe it was some type of undercover military aircraft. It came and went within 20-50 seconds. It was so quick I didn’t even believe I saw it at first but I definitely did and thin! k about it all the time. Definitely a crazy experience that is so hard to explain to people.

I heard a very loud and deep sounding noise overhead, as I was doing some last minute lock up before bedtime. I ran to where the noise was coming from and saw three bright lights. They did not appear to look like any aircraft I had seen, nor did they sound like any I heard before. The walls in my home had shook and I thought maybe a plane was crashing, but the three lights just kept moving on. The object looked dark against the full moon, just east of it. My husband said that it may have been military aircraft, but, the sound was not that of jets or a propeller plane. My next door neighbor also ran outside to check on it. It took all of three minutes and the event was over .

Marion, VA
My father came into the house, a bit before 10pm, reporting a strange, triangle-shaped object in the sky. I asked him if it was still there, he said "No," (to my disappointment). I then questioned him. He said it was a dark triangle shape flying much lower than a plane would. It had only one light; a red light in the center of the object. He said that there was only the faintest sound (barely audible), much fainter than what one would expect from an airplane, and especially an object flying so low. He also said that it was moving more slowly than a plane, and was a very smooth, low, & slow glide from the woods behind the house until it went out of his site. The object flew in a straight line until out of sight. The area around the house is very mountainous and wooded. He was very calm and non-chalant, as he believes it was some sort of military test craft. However, I wanted to share this encounter in case it is ever of value.

It was exactly 10 p.m. I saw 3 glowing lights red and green color it went down and then shot up and to the left and then straight out and disappeared like it hit warp speed. So basically the red and green lights went down and then when it went to the left and out it hit warp speed and made a bright white light It lasted about 10-15 seconds. I was standing on my back porch letting my dog out who before I let him out was acting oddly. And I look up and noticed that the sky looked oddly light blue, and that's when I saw it. I know it wasn't a satellite and I know it wasn't an airplane I've never seen anything like that before.

Macomb, IL
What I saw happened during the Leonids Perseid shower. I wish I had written this down after the event but I am only now writing anything about 2 months later. I wanted to go see the meteor shower and I convinced a friend to brave the IL cold of November with me and watch the sky. I know it is best to watch the showers late night/early morning and away from city lights. I decided to drive to Spring Lake Park outside of Macomb. I believe what my friend and I witnessed happened around 1-2AM. The sky was partly cloudy which mostly foiled our plans of meteor watching. Anyway, as I was staring up I saw something move. It was no meteor and I don’t think satellites move the way this thing was. I told my friend I saw something strange and tried to get her to see it, which she did. We ended up watching this thing for about 45 minutes. But enough stage setting, this is what I saw: It was bright and triangular shaped. It was high up in the sky, higher than planes fly. It moved way faster than a plane. But the strange thing is it moved in short bursts. When it made turns, these turns were almost immediate and in 90 degrees. It also didn’t move across the whole sky, just in the same area of space; as if testing out its speed and maneuvers. If you held a notecard out with your arm extended and the card facing you, the area of the card would block out the area of the sky this object moved in the entire time I watched (~45 min). The craft would sit still for amounts of time between its bursts of high speed moving. When it did make the sharp turns it would start out fast and then slow down just before the turn. If I remember correctly it took a break after making turns. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Anomaly in SOHO C3 data @ 2016/07/16 00:18. What is that top left of center when looking at NASA SOHO data at http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2016/c3/20160716/20160716_0018_c3_1024.jpg Why is it interesting? Well here are some zooms I created from the SOHO C3 2016/07/16 00:06, 00:18 and 00:30 datasets. 1. First area of interest is our location 12 seconds before the anomaly appears so we are using data from SOHO C3 @ 2016/07/16 00:06. Zooming in on the area circled and you can see a faint triangular shape. The full original NASA image is available at http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2016/c3/20160716/20160716_0006_c3_1024.jpg. Zoom into the 11 o'clock segment. 2. Wow! C3 data from the same spot 12 seconds later @ 00:18 with something definite and new, image available at http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2016/c3/20160716/20160716_0018_c3_1024.jpg 3. Enhancement the second area of interest. Overlay of http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2016/c3/20160716/20160716_0030_c3_1024.jpg on http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2016/c3/20160716/20160716_0018_c3_1024.jpg which enhances the smaller object on left 4-6. I've included copies of the original SOHO photos. 7. A closer zoom of the 1. 8. Beam (or whatever) endpoint. 9-10. Some close ups of the area of interest. Details on the SOHO project available here http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/ This SOHO C3 anomaly analysis spans a duration between 00:06 and 00:30 hours on the 7th of July 2016. There are anomalies in SOHO C3 data from time to time though I've never seen anything this 'defined'. Details of analysis available at https://www.facebook.com/fanstream/posts/10208726483532159

Charlotte, NC
Driving down E independence toward uptown Charlotte around 11:50 pm, I saw 3 orange/yellow lights in a triangle….it was a lot bigger than a plane and seemed a lot lower than a plane would fly and there was no sound that I heard. I have never seen anything like this and I was so freaked out I wish I could go back because I should have pulled over and filmed it.

Brooks, OR
Driving in slow lane southbound I-5, when we witnessed a huge bright whitish star-looking light in southwestern sky. We noticed the light was to large and to be a star and kept growing in size and intensify. We also noticed the object was moving towards the freeway. The light on this object stated to fickler as it moved over I-5. The large light then went out and we both got very quiet as we could see a triangle shaped craft with three small lights on it. As we continued down I-5, we drove right under it and through the sun roof on my highlander I could see two small windows on the side of the vehicle. The object was black and hard to see. I have seen strange objects in the sky in this area before. The entire area between Woodburn and Salem is very deserted.

Was looking north east at fast approaching storm clouds. Noticed a bright light, thinking it was a plane. It was to early in the evening for stars. Continued watching mostly for the storm clouds.then noticed another Light. Then 3 more. They were pulsating lights whith a auora around them. Similar to a light from a flashlight. Three which were in a triangle form. Which from a distance would have had to have been 1/4- 1/2 mile apart. The other lights seemed to come out of the lower lights in the triangle. And sat below the triangle. Approximately the same distance apart as the 3 in the triangle. The lights would appear and disappear separately due to the clouds. When they moved it was in unison. Either up or down ,side to side etc. The lower lights would move similarly. They also could have been in triangular form. Though may not have seen a third light due to the clouds. I have not seen planes or helicopters move in this manner, which is why I felt I should report the incident.

Seen a triangular shaped object in the sky with the top tip with a constant right and the bottom points with synchronized flashing lights. This all lasted 1 min, if at that. The sky was dark so could not make out the build of the UFO. The lights dimmed and vanished after about 1 min.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cottage Grove, 78920 Adams rd., OR
We had 10 acres in cut hay. I woke up around 2am walk out the back door of the little house which my wife and i were using at the time to pee. I had a clear view of the hills about 1.5 miles away. It is a flight path for planes landing in Eugene Oregon about 20 miles away. 737 planes were common objects. I spotted it and its size amazed me. I continued to watch and my first reaction was how slow it was moving. Its bulk and lack of movement made me wonder how it could even fly. I figured its length was 6-7 planes long. the nose looked like a plane only much larger and carried this shape along the side I could see. It had what looked like massive plates on its surface with the area of what I call the nose curve a black shiny surface like a dark tinted window. It continued to move to the right and started to rotate to the left starting to show the back of the triangle. It looked to be a flat black surface with a radius at both ends. There were two round lights at both ends and the center of the lights were large black dots making the lighted parts look like thick lines. There did not appear to be any power source. When it stopped its rotation, it was a dead stop move to an angle shift in direction. I wanted to get my wife, but I did not want to miss a single moment. I have wanted to report this for years. I wrote down what I saw and drew a picture. Several years later my wife and I were in Cottage Grove Oregon and were stopped by the edge of town and 737 jet swooped right down on top of us and I thought it might crash. What it did was start to climb up with its engine's pointed directly at us. At this point I rolled my window down look at my wife and said listen there is no sound. We should have been getting an engine back blast, but there was no sound. We where shocked.

Glennville, GA
I was driving home from work and saw several lights in the sky. then I noticed that all the lights were part of the same craft. When I got home I called my mom and wife to get in the car and we went to follow it. It had about 4 to 5 white lights on it, 4 visible when coming toward us and during turning, and one visible from the back. It also had a red light blinking on it. The craft was flying too low for regulated aircraft, even more so when over a town. It circled around and made several passes over town and surrounding areas.

I watched the craft for between ten to fifteen minutes it hovered. I grabbed my phone and from the inside and my dog noticed the object hovering and he started barking at it. Once I grabbed my phone I took a photo of the object and continued to watch it as it vanished into thin air. I have experience in law enforcement and I have military experience as well. This object clearly wasn't of this earth and I don't not want to have the photo released due to being ruined if I'm questioned or have my career jeopardized. I did enhance the photo that was taken and it was clear as day that it was a triangle with 4 different lights on the object. No blinking lights that are common on current regulated aircraft.

Spokane, WA
It was a fairly clear day in Spokane, me and my parents were on a walk with our dog while I was visiting and we heard a noise coming from the sky. The sound however was not the sound of an airplane from the nearby airport. I looked up to the sky to see a small black triangle craft coming down to earth, I panicked and pointed it out to my parents (I'm 23). We did not get a photo graph of the object. The craft slowly descended down to the sidewalk, the craft was around 4 ft. long and 2 ft. tall. and had green and blue lights all over, the craft also made a few sounds along the lines of "boop beep ziiip". The craft hovered in front of me and my parents for a short time before shooting off into the sky. Us 3 are the only witnesses to this event as far as I know. I'm not sure if our dog should count as a witness or not, he did bark at the object a few times, so if you do count as animals as witnesses, it's 4. ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #1 FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Dear Peter, Thank you for replying to my report. My report is 100% sincere. My parents don't believe in aliens and are dismissing this and don't want to get involved, so I'm all you've got right now. I live east coast near D.C. I own a Cessna 172g and fly it for recreational purposes, I am currently looking into a job to be a Pilot. I did not fly a plane to Spokane where my parents live, I took a long and beautiful car trip. My phone is currently in repairs after I accidentally spilled my beer on it yesterday and will not be able to take calls for a while. If you have any questions feel free to Email me. ((END #1)) ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #2 FROM SOURCE)) I understand that you would expect this report to be a hoax, but I'm dead serious, this has to be the strangest thing that's ever happened to me. ((END #2)) ((ADDENDUM #3 FROM SOURCE)) there is no one to my knowledge who saw it, when we got back home I had asked a few neighbors if they had seen what I had seen and told me I was crazy, I'm assuming they haven't seen It. I had my parents give me a run down of the whole situation, my father believes the craft may have been scanning us, my mother doesn't know what to think, but they don't want to be involved with the whole situation ((END #3)) Serious report, or maybe not??

Kihei, HI
The lights didn't twinkle or have a glow like stars or planes and it looked like it was moving closer while moving to the right. It looked like it could have been coming from MaKena towards Kihei. The lights rapidly moved up about an inch, moved back down and then back and fourth. It looked like it was moving closer and I got scared and came inside. It made me feel watched. I then came in my room and looked out the glass door and have been glued there for over an hour and a half now. The light has moved in circles throughout the sky and moves unlike anything I have ever seen. I have been trying to wake up my friends to get someone to see what I am but have had no luck. It's moving across the sky and is on a completely different side of my window to where I've had to move. Its movements unlike anythjng I have ever seen. I don't know what to make of it. I also started to look around this oddly moving shape so I started comparing it to others and there are several more all around that area. One looks like it's above Maui meadows though but it was with the other clump of lights. They all are triangle shaped and bright orangey-red. I don't know what to make of this. I finally had to pull myself away from watching because if the time. I just looked outside and from my window it's right I front of south Kihei- Kalama Park area. Moving sideways slowly. A bright light object with bright red of hrs literally just flew by, it was as close a plane but lower where a helicopter would fly over the ocean but it didn't make any sound. It made me realize how far the other light is that I was just explaining. The one that just flew by had a flashing light but it was bright red. Maybe it was a plane, but I'm not sure if it was or not. I can't believe I'm ! seeing t his and not sure where else to report or if I should call the cops and file a report??? It's 4am now, and they're still outside.

Newcastle (Canada), ON · Canada
This particular night, my fiancé and I went for a drive to our favourite small town called Newcastle. Our favourite spot is by the harbour to Lake Ontario. The time was between 1:30 and 2:00AM. It was quiet, no wind and the sky was covered with stars. We got out of the car and I stood in the parking lot facing the lake. I see something in the sky, it was gliding perfectly, slowly, but quickly at the same time. It sparked my interest because it was SO quiet, there were no lights to it either. As it glided above me I stared so intently at it, it was definitely an aircraft, shaped like a boomerang but the odd thing about it was that it was translucent, I could see the stars right through it, but somehow could see the shape of the aircraft moving through the sky. It continued on, going in a straight line quietly heading north west from where we were standing. I pointed it out to my fiancé and he agreed that it was no normal aircraft.

The aircraft flew from behind a tree line, it was triangle shape with 4 lights, 3 lights on each point and 1 in the middle. It was flying not too high up from the tree line, and seemed to be going at a very slow speed, almost hovering across. It did have a deep sound but not very loud. I was in a screened in back porch of my brothers apartments, and I was in too much shock to run through the house to the front.. I am regretting that now.

Looked like a star moving from heading 202 sw on july 9th between 9:45-9:50 PM eastern time. Lit up for roughly 2 seconds shaped like a triangle. Size was approximately 1/8 the size of the moon on this clear night. Still looked roughly like a star heading 24 degrees northeast. Used cell phone compass for degrees. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. PD

First pictures are from where the cloud is overhead. I noticed weird clouds and took these pictures from the home of a friend with her camera. after this we proceeded to drive to the local walmart a few mile away. On the way back I noticed the same clouds, but now with dual weird rainbows, real dark with a fireball like plum coming accompanying it. I had my friend pull over to a suitable place to snap some more photos at a local marina some 5 miles from the clouds that are still situated above her house, this being after an hour shopping. I start snapping pictures and within 2 seconds the whole cloud cloak, falls off the UFO, and reveals a 3 sided pyramid, laying on side, with fireball plum coming off rear and intense rainbow at nose. There is a second rainbow similar but not as intense. I have no clue why it did not come out in the pictures. the hypotenuse sides of the UFO were sharp and straight in completeness. But on the facades you could see ! relief with louvers, portals, appendages etc. visible. The other witness is viewing the same thing with complete amazement like myself. It never moved, and being at 5pm I am facing due east so the sun was at my back. We got back in car and by the time I looked up again it was cloaked and the rainbows were gone. While looking at the peripheral of the situation I felt as if there were other craft in close proximity but cloaked by dark clouds. On a side note, I have a couple of friends who independently at the same time saw from below these clouds dual concentric rainbows overhead. Another reliability/credibility adder is that we are both professionals with degrees, my education is from The US Air Force Academy and Univ of Washington, and hers is from the Univ. of California.
