As it was a heatwave, I decided to spend the evening looking at the stars, watching for anything unusual. I had seen several meteors and very tiny hard to see satellites pace across the sky. One of the satellite sightings was unusual as two tiny pricks of faded light followed the exact same course North to South across my garden. I have never seen that before. I had also seen a bird with stiff looking wings fly over which surprised me as it was dark. I noted the wings were being lit up by the orange streetlights around here. I decided it was gliding and thought I saw it flap as it went out of sight. We have seagulls here which I have seen fly at night in the past, but not often. The heat wave drove many people outside, countless voices jabbered around my tiny garden and I didn’t want to eavesdrop so I put on the radio and listened to C2CAM. The atmosphere was noisy but not really loud. I should point out that I spend hours at a time in the garden for the specific purpose of understanding what is in the sky and how things move up there. One night a helicopter circled over my place (and a hundred other peoples places) for over an hour, it drove me back indoors as it was so loud and ruining my peace. I am an amateur sound engineer so I am always fascinated by strange sounds and their origin. If there was a conventional craft passing over me that night, I am sure I would have heard it, and had a good guess at what type of aircraft went over from the sound. At 23:05, I was laying back on my recliner, watching the stars, relaxed and listening to George Noory, my eyes were instantly attracted to the speeding orange shapes cutting across my garden from South to West North West. I sat up! The objects were about to go out of sight behind my bathroom so I sprinted forward, knocking my DSLR as I went and looked round the building to see them fly away from me. At first I thought the trailing object was attached to the other three and they were all part of the same structure, but the trailing one did quick, insect like speedy movements making it easily appear separated. The objects had a wobble, like they were all independently moving. When I watched them leave it felt exactly like the moment in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the scene where the little red light acts like a comical puppy trying to catch up to the other craft with playful moves. The trailing light flitted toward and away from the formation of three with incredi! ble speed and fluidity. I watched until they were gone. That area of town is very highly polluted with light, there are lots of main roads and roundabouts in that direction. The craft sped away and I was left dumbfounded and annoyed that I had a camera right there and I could not use it. It was in the middle of another 25 second exposure photograph and was not ready for a fast encounter like this one! I ran into the house to tell my partner and write down what I had just witnessed. I was not trembling as hard as I expected, but I was trembling as I wrote and related the tale to my Partner who was napping and had just been woken by my sudden excitable appearance, bless him. I also went on to make a short video blog whilst the event was still fresh in my mind.

LA UFO Channel on Meetup.com has a monthly/bimonthly UFO Sighting Event somewhere in Los Angeles. The event is free and all are invited, especially for those who have never seen a UFO live. This meetup was at Hollydale Park, South Gate, CA. The one in the video has a green star balloon we call a marker (it could be anything). A marker basically attracts attention and draws our cameras and video to itself. Two orbs pass this marker. I am capturing this footage with a telescope (Meade ETX 90, celestron zoom eyepiece, and a Sony A6000). It takes a "tracker" and a "focuser" to run the telescope. Many objects were captured at this event. Another standout was what looked like a balloon cluster dropping an orb. Three of us captured it on video. Amazing footage. Anyway, hope you like this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uMu4HiRqsU

Video Of Eyewitness Account: https://ugetube.com/watch/drone-ufo-seen-by-anthony-giarrusso_SeSlFYrDZGiYETJ.html On 8/21/15 I was walking near my family’s house. It was unusually dry inside my nostrils. It felt like my capillaries could crack at any moment, resulting in a nosebleed. I had been walking outside for an hour. It was around 9:00 PM when I saw something shocking and puzzling. A small aircraft like a UFO, I had seen this night. It had the front wings of a glider and the rear of a F-5 fighter jet with its distinctive duel narrow afterburners. The craft did not use the afterburners when I saw it. In fact, I would call this UFO slow. It flew faster than a bird, but slower than a propeller plane. I could hear a whining noise after it had passed me. It sounded like an electric motor. It flew from east to west over the backyards of nearby homes. Even though it was night time, the street lights lit the area revealing the UFOs color. It was definitely dark blue, not black. It had a matte finish and there were no markings on it at all. It was 40-50 feet in the air. The wingspan was 4 times the size I was tall about 24 feet from wing tip to wing tip. Then something really weird happened. What happened next made me classify this as a UFO. A static like white light came from the tail and engulfed the UFO to the nose, as the UFO was flying forward. As soon as the light covered the object, the light went out and the object disappeared from view. Did I just witness some advanced optical camouflage? Was the UFO some kind of projection? Did the UFO disappear into a portal? I do not know the answers, but nothing could prepare me for what I saw the following night!

The object is boomerang/crescent-like in shape and was perhaps 500’ to 700’ away about two tall tree heights above the ground in the next block east of me. It moved north to south at about the speed of a soaring hawk. I would say that the wingspan was at least 30’ wide. I only saw the object for about 8 seconds or so. It was dark against a dark but slightly back-lit sky. It was as though the object was operating in a camouflage manner as no light was seen other than the circles on the bottom either dimly reflecting street light or possible being ultra dimly lit. The circles were in a row on the bottom in a variable arc from wing to wing. I marveled as to how the craft blended in with the night sky/stars.

About 9:15, went to the library with my dog. We had been seeing a large lop eared bunny in that area for a few nights. My dog loves to chase squirrels and bunnies. She’s too old and fat to catch them but she enjoys the chase and it gives here exercise. Sky was dark, lots of stars, busy flight path (Sea-Tac Intl airport about 15 or so miles away). It was warm out. I sat on a curb facing the Puyallup River (could be a different river name), that runs behind the library. Noticed a white light moving in the sky very high. I could tell that it was moving because I could see movement through the leaves and branches of a big maple tree. I took some pics and only one showed the light and in the pic, it looks like a yellow orb but to my eye, it looked white. I moved into a large parking area free of trees to get a better look and it looked like a planet – it was not twinkling – just a white light high in the sky. I was thinking that if one didn’t have a stationary object to use as a reference point, it would be very hard to realize that it was moving – one would probably think it to be a planet. I watched it for about 15 minutes and tried to take a video of it but it was not visible in the camera. Decided to go across the street and walk over to the field between the Post Office and Mc Lendon’s. There had been a car parked in the library parking lot for two nights in a row while we were there and I wanted to keep distance from it. We began to reach the outer edge of the parking lot when I decided not to walk all the way to the field because I didn’t have my flashlight. I turned to walk back the way we came when an extremely bright white light, which appeared as a large white orb, very low in the sky, caught my eye. It was very unusual. It seemed to be heading in our direction from the middle of town. I moved closer into the McLendon’s parking lot and turned on the recording button on the camera. I could see it very well and it was bright but the recording didn’t show it as it looked to me and I couldn’t see it through the screen of the camera until it was very close. There had to be people that seen this thing! It was so low and bright, it had to have caught someone’! s attention. As it got closer, like almost to the AM PM, it clearly had 5 super bright lights in a row – shaped like princess cut diamonds that sparkled and one red slow blinking light underneath – funny, I did not see any structure to this object for how close it was. It seemed to have a plane sound but very quiet sound of a plane – which didn’t make sense either. I felt like I had been standing there observing this thing for a long time and felt self conscious about it feeling this thing may be a ‘plane’ and here I am recording it in the parking lot, so I quickly turned the camera off after it passed in front of me. If it was a plane – it was the quietest plane I ever seen but then it did not have any structure of a plane. Maybe those 5 bright white lights blinded my vision..? I wish I would have continued recording it to see if it got into the flight path. That’s another thing, I am an avid sky watcher in this town and have lived here over 18 years, I have seen a lot o! f things and I have never seen a plane fly the direction that ! it did…but who knows…watch the recording and let me know if you think you know what it is….Thanks. Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Kingston, WA
I was driving East on NE Country Woods Lane at about 15 miles per hour. I observed an aircraft that may have been a blimp about 200' above the ground that looked similar to an airbus 320 but was much shorter in length and much wider in diameter, more like a pregnant guppy shape. It seemed to be traveling directly South at about a speed of 35 miles per hour. Within a few seconds of observing it--it went out of my sight because of large trees blocking my view. I continued East for about 5 seconds and my sight was no longer obscured and the floating object was not there at all. From this point of view I could see over 1500 feet and my vision was unimpaired all the way from the East thru directly South to the West. The sky was totally blue skies at that time except for one small white cloud visible to me directly where I had extrapolated the object would be, factoring in its apparent speed and direction. If anyone in the immediate area was looking up they should have easily seen the object.

St. Simons Island, GA
I was flying my aircraft to maintain night currency, on left base to runway 7 at KBQK, the Brunswick airport. this would have put me on a course of 160. Toward the ocean, at an altitude that appeared to be at about my altitude, 800 to 1000 feet, I saw a string of what appeared to be orange flares, in a mostly horizontal alignment, proceeding left to right, north to south, roughly along the beach or slightly off shore. I asked another aircraft if he had seen that, which he had not. I continued my night currency flights. The fire station asked if I had seen anything, and I responded that I had. They asked if I would fly over and take a look, which I did. I did not see anything else besides three or four fishing boats. The moon was several days past full. The sky was partly clear to the east, but thick, with thunderstorms to the north, north west, and south west. There was significant lightning.

Longmont, CO
On August 18th, 2015, at approximately 20:30, my daughter and I were returning from the grocery store travelling along 75th street just North of Lookout Road, when my daughter spotted a lighted object travelling about 300 feet over our position. The object resembled a ferris wheel, circular in shape and approximately 150 feet in diameter, which a slightly domed roof with a thickness of about 20 feet. Across the back of the object was approximately 60 lights, organized in four rows with about 15 lights in each row. The lights pulsed on and off in a pattern as the object moved. The object made no noise, as it traveled due north in parallel with 75th street towards Longmont, Colorado, moving at a speed of approximately 60 mph and accelerating as we tracked the object moving away from our vehicle. We continued to observe the object traveling over the intersection of 75th Street and Niwot Road, at an elevation of approximately 600 feet. We then drove East o! n Niwot Road, intent on following the object and lost sight of the object until we arrived at the intersection of 95th Street and Niwot Road. At this time, we again observed the object at an elevation of approximately 1000 feet, nearly 1 mile North of our location. We traveled North on 95th Street for several minutes and viewed the object increase its speed and fade from sight.

Riverdale Park, MD
I was 15 years old, in a house, and visiting my family. I was told that we'll be leaving soon, so I could go out to the car and sit inside while my parents chatted since I was just standing and waiting. I walked outside into the yard, and then I looked around. I looked to the left. I saw an object. I was startled because it looked like someone with an ability to do moral and not moral things created it or was in control of it. It seemed like it was waiting for me to come out the house. When I came out into the yard it was facing me with it's arms behind it's back. Eyes facing me. No one else was around. It stood there and stared at me. It was at night and there wasn't any clue about it's business being there. The object was shaped like a person, but had no legs. It wasn't perfectly person-shaped. It had a shape that outlined a person. It was symmetrical. Right side reflected the left of the object symmetrically. It was not close to an actual outline of a person. There were no points to distinguish the upper body from the lower body except the arms, the neck, and the head. Upper body and lower body was all the same width. The neck, head (including the eyes), and arms all had smaller width than the rest of the body. The neck isn't clearly defined. The head looked as if it could go at a horizontal if the lower body bended. The head didn't look like it could do a head roll or tilt to any side. The glowing eyes doesn't blink because there are no eye lids. The very bottom of the object is faded. It doesn't touch the sidewalk, but it is close to touching it. The arms were behind the back. It had a neck. The front of the head didn't protrude the neck. The head was bigger. The head was smaller than the rest of the body except the neck. The eyes were symmetrical and small or what an eye size should be in relation to a real person's face. The lower part of the object was much longer than the upper part. It was more longer than what lower body length of a real person would be. The pitch black body, the time of sighting, and no sign language or anything to explain what is happening made me feel threatened. I viewed it while I was in the yard of a house. The house I was at is elevated on a hill. The object was below the hill and at least 152inches away and the sidewalk was on the same side of the street as the house I was at. It was to the left in relation to the house. It was on my left. House lights in the neighborhood are on. The street lights are on. The object was near a light pole or street light. It was very quiet. I felt a strange sensation. The object was very tall. Maybe 8 or 9 foot tall. I felt a pulling force. I felt as if I couldn't do anything else besides approach the object which I didn't want to. I resisted and walked back to the house. I was hoping I could reach it and go back inside without anything strange happening to prevent me from going back in. I couldn't talk about it with anyone. Why would they believe me.

Connelsville, PA
While camping near Indian creek saw a group of 3 lights which alternated from bright white to Orange to yellow gold which floated at treetop level from right to left up and down in a irregular pattern for nearly 4 hours. Was hard to judge size or shape due to tree limbs obscuring view at times. Object seemed to rotate clockwise several times during this event but always had three lights visable from my viewing angle. Made a dull whooshing noise like a gentle breeze blowing even though there was no wind that night. Have military aviation background and knowledge of aircraft from military and civilian services but this objects motion and lack of sound made it unique enough to warrant my alerting other campers to it's presence. Several other campers vame to my vantage point to verify, though several were intoxicated at the time of the event. Not sure if it matters here, but earlier in the day, Saturday, 08/15/15, there was an increase in military helicopter activity in the same area, and again the morning of Sunday, 08/16/15, there were several Apache helicopters flying around the area, as well.

We were Eastbound on State Route 30 just West of the I-75 interchange. There was a vertical pencil shaped light a head of us just off the right side of the highway. It was white and red and had what looked like it like filaments of the same color trailing off from the sides of it. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back it was gone. My wife, who was driving said she didn't see it.

On August 15th 2015 around 9 pm my daughter and I were in the living room watching TV when what sounded like a helicopter went over our home. I looked out the window and I could see a long craft that looked to be transparent with a red lights on each end. I told my daughter to follow me outside so we could get a better look . Once outside, I thought I would be able to see the bottom of a craft, but neither of us could make out anything but the lights. It looked to be just a long transparent craft that sounded like a helicopter. It was very low. My husband and I tried to look up drone pictures but couldn't find anything that looked like this. I'm sure other people had to of seen it and would like to know what it was if anyone has and information. We see tons of odd things where we live and I know they some times have air shows. My husband also witnessed a large orange orb in 2006 floating above our home. We had just moved in. He said it made no sound. Floated off and never seen anything like it again. In 2014, my family witnessed silver cylinder like crafts that seemed to be equally paced one in front of the other. I lost count at how many were line. At first I assumed it was a airplane but I would have no idea why they would be lined up or the reason for so many.

Joppa, MD
Was driving south on RT 95 in Maryland. The craft was in view for about 20 miles, hovering at about 500' overhead. Since the craft was near the US Army Aberdeen testing ground, it may be a test space program vehicle. The craft was about 30'-50' high and 100' long, with a whale-like shape (rounded front to back, higher at back, flat bottom, dipping in middle.) The color was brilliant white. There was a very large, round, bright light aglow in the middle, bottom. It made no sound.

Austin, IN
While driving home from work, I noticed a band of approximately 4 bright orange lights in the Northeast sky. It appeared as though the lights were stretching apart from each other in a horizontal line. As quickly as they appeared I lost sight of them. I continued home and kept my eye toward the sky where I had seen the lights and as I pulled in my driveway (maybe 2 minutes later, at best) I noticed them again. This time there seemed to be more lights or that the lights were multiplying as they separated. I got my husband’s attention to have him look to see them and he did. The lights maybe lasted a few seconds before disappearing either behind a tree line or all together from the night sky. This sighting comes after two other unexplainable lights I have seen in the same general direction of the sky over the last two or three weeks. The first was probably two weeks ago, appearing as a bright red light in the sky that “burnt up” in just a few seconds. The second was just a few days ago, either Monday August 10, 2015, or Tuesday, August 11, 2015. It was like a fireball that flashed and was gone. I know that the meteor shower was going on this week, but I watched that and those were nothing like any of the three strange sightings I’ve had.

I went to my car to get a box and I decided to look up into the sky because the Perseid meteor shower was going on. To my surprise in the horizon I saw a craft with two blinking lights white to green flashing. It was lower than a normal jet airplane would be and the rate of travel was quite fast. The color was clear and blended in with the night sky I could literally see through the craft the outline of the craft was shaped like a piece of toast. It's the best way that I can describe it. No sounds it just came over the horizon, flew above me, and went over top of the tree and house next door to me in less than a minute.

Hill City, KS
UFO sighting 12 AG, 2015. Shortly after 10:00 PM, CDT, I went outside on the south end of my house to watch the Perseid shower. My chair was facing east and I was rocked back and looking mostly overhead. Within a few minutes I noticed a northbound object. I knew this was not any kind of normal craft. Probably within five seconds the white "craft" blanked out, reappeared and then browned out completely. OK, that was really an eye catcher. The object, actually in four parts, had passed west of Deneb in Cygnus and toward the small constellation Lacerta. The object truly hit me a little humorously, as a design that might have been from Star Trek's Walt Jeffries. Pondering for a couple of minutes, I noticed a jet coming out of the north northwest. Within seconds it was overhead and I noticed a white "rectangular" light in about the same area where the jet came from. At first I thought maybe the International Space Station. A second look seemed to show my original sighting object in a right hand profile below but with no distinct separation of the light. Describing a subtle rising arc, it was south of Polaris and heading east toward Epsilon Cassiopeiae. Enough! I took the few steps into the house to grab my 20 X 80 binocs. And true to form, it had disappeared. Time was ~10:15 CDT for the first sighting, and at the very most, five minutes total for the entire event. There were no lights of any kind on the objects. No beams or rays. Overall, a not so intense white. No noise whatsoever. Relative size for both, a nail of the small finger held at arm's length. The second sighting seemed to show a very slight haze around its entirety. Were not birds or as one suggested, a drone! Accompanying Illustrations: Two old, but trusty, Edmund Scientific circumpolar star maps showing the trajectories of both objects. Three quick gouache sketches of the objects. The first two describe the northbound object at full light and the second starting the brownout. The third attempts to show the hazy and apparent right side of the craft and just below "centerline."

Family of 5 saw many questionable shooting stars going in all directions north to south, south to north, east to south, west to east, lost track after 17. At least 3 of said objects had comet like tails. One light northeast of us did a u-turn. We also saw 4 distant objects that hovered then would cross the sky at such an amazing speed, that best described by our eldest teen bested the Blue Angels, and disappear among the stars. One of the comet-tailed light seen appeared to be 3 lights clustered. After 75 minutes we realized our 9 year old was no longer comfortable and quite overwhelmed, and had to stop so not certain the activity stopped.

Witnessed a craft moving southeast across the sky at a high rate of speed. It was shaped sort of like a cresent moon, with the convex edge leading. It has an orange glow, and appeared to be "hazy", as if to say it was hard to see hard lines in it. It moved incredibly quick, and twice entered into an s curve as it followed its trajectory.

On August 9th, 2015, around 10pm, I went out onto my balcony with my boyfriend. We sat down and we were having a conversation when he told me to check out the ring of light off to the south. I looked over and saw what he was talking about. At first I thought that some business must be projecting lights into the sky to draw attention. When I said that to him, he said, “Just look at it. If it was a business projecting that light, wouldn’t you be able to see the beams coming from below?” I sat there for a moment and watched this ring. I looked over at my boyfriend and asked him if he thought that the ring seemed to be moving closer to us. He agreed with me. As we sat and watched this ring, I noticed that it seemed to be illuminating from inside the ring. I went in and got my phone so I could take a photo and hope to capture the light. I came back out and started to take photos. Unfortunately, the photos do not show the enormity and brightness of this ring. I live close to an airport, and was able to take a photo of a plane flying near this illuminating ring. The longer I sat and looked at the ring, the more I convinced myself that there had to be a logical explanation for it. This ring of light lasted for more than an hour and I am still shaking my head trying to figure out what it was. Suspected advertising lights at a local casino. PD

Back in 1971, I experienced an encounter which I would be willing to discuss further, but since then, my eyes have been fixed on the sky's. Then again just the other day while driving home from work I noticed this strange "puffy" cloud formation that resembled a path for several miles. At first I thought it was a Chemtrail but it was too low. As I looked longer and harder, something looked strange so I pulled off the road to take a picture. It appeared to be something blurry moving within this cloud formation! It didn't make a sound but did appear to be an object, possibly cloaked or something. If you blow the picture up you will see a strange pattern that almost appears like a fingerprint forming an object within a thin red line that I drew. This sighting may not be as exciting or convincing as what happened to me 45 years ago but very strange never the less. I will be sending a picture of the cloud event and a PhotoShopped image of what I witnessed in 1971.

Perth (Australia) · Australia
I look up now and again at the sky to see objects seemingly floating by their own mechanisms. The latest would have been 2016, when I was at a bus stop on a main terminal. I looked up, but everyone else was looking at their cell phones, I looked at everyone. No-one was looking up. I further saw on another day, same year a huge UFO and I told someone about it during that year. But what shut me up about disclosing such information is not so much the activity of black helicopters, but a woman. I saw her in 2015. She had a cowgirl atire, yet she was in black. She was completely menacing me and yelling "smoko, smoko, smoko". It was wierd because for one split nano second, she was on one side of the road, then she was in my face. A number of vehicles were approaching, so I told her to get up on the isle where I was standing; she ignored me and continued her tirade. I never saw that woman again, and I live in this district and virtually know everyone. Is there such a thing as a Woman In Black? To this day I wonder, as I met her in 2015…
