Winter Haven, FL
Saturday, September 20th around 9:30 PM, Winter Haven Florida Partly cloudy to the west (Light wispy clouds) with a full cloud bank moving in from the west ... Looking overhead, we were right on the edge between the two. Wife & I were out walking the dog when we both noticed a distortion or wave in the sky overhead. Neither of us was looking up at the time but is was so large & distinct, we caught it out of our peripheral vision. Looking up we see 15+ faint lights in a perfect bow or arc shape approximately 2000ft up & almost directly overhead ... All the light were very dim but perfectly equal distant from each other. The total distance of the arc from end to end was 300+ feet and making absolutely no sound at all. We watched it as it moved towards the south for approx 4 to 5 secs ... I would estimate it moved a couple of miles in that time ... And at that point, the lights just disappeared ... Not that it had moved so far that we couldn't have seen them ... But the lights just seemed to be blocked from our view once it moved out that far. Total time of the sighting was no more than 10 seconds. Above is what we seen as best I can describe ... The rest is pure speculation on my part. I believe what we seen was some type of a cloaked craft ... As I stated all we could really make out when we looked up were these faint lights ... But I believe what we were seeing was just the leading edge of a larger craft (Most likely circular in shape) ... And I say this because the distortion we first notice was large & round'ish in shape ... I would describe it as what you would see if you were looking at a still pool of water and then throwing a rock into it ... Undulating waves. But by the time we looked up that distortion had cleared and all we could make out at that point was this large faint arc of lights. Secondly, as this thing moved to the point where the light just seemed to disappear. I believe what happened was that as it moved to the south our viewing angle changed so we were now looking at the back of this craft ... And our view of the back was blocking our view of those leading edge lights.

I was at work unloading a truck and heard a "wooosh" sound. I looked up and saw a transparent unusual shaped craft about 400 feet above me moving north perpendicular across normal flying lanes for landing planes at the love field airport. I hear planes all day long at work, but have never heard one that sounds like that. It was all over in a few seconds and it was gone. Leaving me speechless and wanting to see more. I wonder if anyone else has seen what I have? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Millen, GA
On September 18, 2014, around 9:35pm my friend and I were traveling on Hwy 25 south. On Hwy 25 about four miles outside of Millen, Georgia city limits I notice something out of the corner of my sight on the right side. I look and there was 4 bright white lights spaced apart in a curved downward shape. The lights were apart of a very large football shaped glossy black object. I yell to my friend look at that. An instant fear came over both of us as we watched. In a time frame of around ten seconds the bright lights turned off one by one starting left to right. A few seconds after the lights went out the very large football shaped object vanished. it didn't fly off, it vanished into thin are in front of our eyes. At that moment my friend and I both had all the hair stand up on our bodies and goosebumps all over. Also, I remember after seeing the object vanish I could see the lights of an airplane off in the distance behind it. After seeing this we turned on the emergency flashers and sped all the way to my house

I was sleeping. Suddenly, I felt that somebody contact with me with my brain. I was sleeping at that moment. I realize that somebody contact with me. I felt that he was a boy like me, but suddenly it converts into a new form which we called as alien. His skin his like old man, wrinkled on face, he kissed on my face and then go away. I thought that it was a dream but suddenly in sleeping moment there is a shock to my hands. And i felt that something like ufo which is in the shape of quadrilateral in 3d form not like movies mentioned. I saw dust clouds in the sky when i search that ufo. Red light glow in the centre of ufo that i noticed. I don't know how is it possible that i saw ufo and a experience with them, suddenly i would be so confused and i know that nobody can believe on this, i.e. I report u sir.

Boomerang shaped UFO it had no lights. Flying South stopped midair then proceeded on Southern path. 200' to 500+' estimated tip-to-tip length. Could see shape as it slowly passed overhead slightly inland from beach. "VERY CLEARLY DEFINED AS BOOMERANG SHAPED OBJECT SEEN BY TWO WITNESES". COMPLETELY SILENT WHILE MOVING, HOVERING, MOVING…

St. Francisville, LA
I had gotten off work a couple of hours before and went outside to talk on the phone, as there is poor cell reception where I live. First, I saw one of these and I was in complete disbelief. I never looked away, but I tried pulling up my camera. I was just about to head inside after it had passed over the trees, but then I saw another. I was so transfixed by what I was seeing, I couldn't bring myself to come to my senses and get my camera ready, and I figured it would have been really difficult to see anyway. There were 4 of them; one right after the other. It's hard to describe what they looked like, and I'm hoping they're just some form of aircraft I've never seen before. There were five large, round, blue lights: one in the center and one on each end of these rectangular-shaped wings. They seemed to be black, and flying not much higher than the trees in my area. They were fully symmetrical (even though it's hard to see in country darkness) and flying very low to the ground. Once all 4 had flown by and I the sound started fading in the distance, I rushed inside to see if anyone else had seen or heard them. Perhaps 10 minutes later, there were maybe 20 other aircraft flying at a much higher altitude which we all just assumed were military jets, though that would be unclear. They were extremely loud and were going in the same direction as the aircraft that had initially passed by. I have yet to be offered an explanation as to what the first 4 were and I'm hoping I can find someone who might be able to tell me what they were or saw the same thing. I did leave out one minor detail to see if anyone else can vouch for what I'm saying here.

My husband and I were sitting on back porch when 2 jets passed over in front of us. We watched them go Eastward. I kept watching them and following the jets with my eyes and head and could still hear them as they went by us and now I could see their tail ends, when all of a sudden a white flat circle that was brighter than the white clouds flew across (intercrossed) the tail ends of the jets. My husband quit watching the jets as they had crossed over him. He just slightly turned his head to watch them. The jets were flying one behind the other keeping perfect spacing between each other. I followed the bright white circle until it went behind a tree that obstructed our view. The white Circle didn't go behind the tree on purpose, it was just a big tree that was on the side of the house that blocked my view. My husband watched me stand up and follow the circle with my eyes and he turned to see what I was looking at and pointing at, that's when our view was ob! structed by our tree. The circle was flying as fast and steady as the jets and was very high in the sky. It was a perfect circle, brighter, whiter than a cloud. It looked flat almost like a orb dancing in your vehicle from jewelry or a watch that the sun reflected off of. The circle didn't fly behind the tree on purpose it was just a big tree beside our house that blocked our view from seeing the circle any longer. The circle was moving as fast and steady as the jets and was very high in the sky. There was no sound from the circle. I don't know if the circle came out from a cloud next to the jets or where it came from. I just began seeing it come from the right side going to the left side of the back end of the jets. It was a sunny day. Yes, there was some clouds but sun was shining and the wind was blowing. My husband didn't see it because he didn't react fast enough and the tree obstruction didn't help.

I sleep under my skylight so see a lot in the sky day and night today I caught a disk shaped object grayish black in color travelling at speed in a smooth motion it was close as the object was clear. What made it unusual though was that there was another in parallel to it travelling at the same speed and the same direction but slightly behind. The objects made no sound. I thought maybe a balloon but it was travelling at speed and it did not change course due to wind or anything plus the other object was following in perfect timing. The object was close as it was clear and had no lights or wings just plain the same as the other object I followed it into the distance as it got smaller the following object disappeared before the first which was weird. As iv said iv seen a lot in the sky which i put down to satalights stars planets or balloons but this was in daylight and iv never seen anything like this before or reported it for that matter. I just thought it would be interesting if anyone else saw the same thing today? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Porto (Portugal) · Portugal
One man was staring at the sky and tried to take pictures of what he saw. I looked too and I saw a bunch of lights high in the sky but under the tiny clouds. There were about 50 little lights in a formation like an old kite: a diamond and a tail. The object(s) was moving slowly over the Porto bridge to the east. The lights were flashing alternatively. It could have been an attraction for the event taking place in Porto ... something like a giant kite attached to a plane ... but there was no plane to be seen or heard ...

Montrose, IA
On the morning of September 12, 2014 we were driving home from work when we topped a hill near the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Highway 61 South in Iowa and saw very bright lights low in the sky. Left to right were; green, white and red. All were very bright and looked like a cluster. We drive this road six mornings a week and have never seen anything like this before. We proceeded on our way watching the lights, they stayed were they were, and kept getting closer to us. When we came around a corner between mile marker 13 and 14 we drove under this cluster and looked up to see what we could make out, three green lights, one very bright white light in the center, and three red lights in a bow tie shape. It was approximately 200–300 feet above the road and appeared to be slightly larger than an average sedan.

This object looked like a bird of prey that was gliding, with no movement of the wings. It was moving fast and in a rounded turn to the South. It was a pale gray color that was hard to see (almost blending in with the night time sky ) and a very unusual experience for me.

A metallic object was flying very slowly above the buildings, its shape was very strange and unsymmetrical, it was spinning and it maintained its altitude at all time traveling north and never made a sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It was a weird triangle shape. After some though it looked like a stingray (without the tail.) Behind it was a "pyramid" with flashing lights around the perimeter. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It was late at night around 3:00 AM, A object much bigger than stars. When seen through telescope at 80X zoom, A bright object was seen emitting Green, Blue, Red and white light and it was revolving around a axis. It was just like an electron revolving around a nucleus. The other stars where stationary but it was revolving. When i saw it from my rooftop, i called my uncle. UFO Spotted!!! We suspect a "twinkling" star. PD

It is as though it seems it would be a star, but i have never seen a star like this in my life. It grows brighter, while almost as if it is flashing, then it turns into a dimmer flash, and then grows brighter and flashes more intensively. I dont know if it is a weather balloon or or a satellite. I cannot find anything on the web about this light/star that burns/flashes.

Hamilton (Canada), ON · Canada
I was out for a walk around 7:30 pm last night, when I noticed a strange row of lights in the sky. I tried to take a picture with my phone but it did not turn out. (my phone is 5yrs old) It looked like 7 orange spheres in a v-shape formation. They were hovering over the city in the south east location, out towards an area we call the punch bowl. I stood there and watched them for about 10 minutes...they were just hovering and then they just disappeared. I checked various weather information sites to see if perhaps it could be related to something. It wasn't. I also checked the city's airport schedules for departures and arrivals of aircraft or any special events and there were none at that time. I know what I saw and it was an anomaly of unknown character. They emitted a radiant light....at one point the light at the ends orbs shot upward and formed a circle. So it looked like a V with semi-circle enclosure. It was an amazing site!! I do not know what this was..! I just know that it was not something that could be described as anything yet known to this world.

Cedar Rapids, IA
I was laying on my hammock looking at a particular dense white cloud in a blue sky off in the distance when I noticed what appeared to be the light catching a boomerang or wing shaped object as it approached the upper top of the second most dense portion of the cloud. I kept watching to see if it would come out the other side as the cloud was dense... but not that large. Within less than a minute the upper half of the cloud which had been distinct from the lower half was just absorbed like water on a hot skillet, leaving no trace of the cloud at all while the bottom half/cloud remained the same. I never saw the object come out and the sky was as clear and blue as it could ever be. The object made no sound. Though I may be somewhat off on the shape due to the sun which reflected off it made it appear metallic and boomerang or crescent moon shaped. My first thought is that the object absorbed the water. I am in my 60's and never saw anything like it befo! re. I never even believed in UFOs other than what is here on earth which it still could have been.

Corona, CA
I could not tell that it was a craft but looked more erratic. Very bright not white but more white / orange. It had very jagged edges but not quite like fire.......it was very wide buy only about a quarter as high I saw a airplane also and it dwarfed it. It never moved at all and just disappeared. Not like a flare going out but just instantly gone......

Muncie, IN
Morning hour dusky sky. Object approx. 800 feet high traveling NE silently. No lights, wings, rotors or other recognizable aircraft properties; no markings discernable and no visible sheen or reflections. Object traveled smoothly under what appeared to be a non-random manner. Perhaps ~40 ft. in diameter or slightly larger. Flat but not saucer-like - hard, angled edges alternating up and down, reminiscent of a metal ashtray design. No contrail or emitted vapors detectable. Driver ahead of me appeared to be recording object as she drove using a smartphone.
