Los Colinas, TX
Hesitated posting this as unique category of ‘sighting’. July 2014, Los Colinas, TX, (Irving area) apartment complex 30 mi. east of DFW airport, weather clear appx. 3PM. Heard loud sound of jet aircraft approaching from the north ¼ mi. west of my location. No runway. Flat land near Trinity River. Did apparent ‘touch and go’ in front of me, then gained altitude, sound dissipating in southerly direction. Five seconds later loud sound of jet aircraft approaching from south, touch and go, gaining altitude with noise dissipating in northerly direction. Six such passes. There was no airplane. At least 20 other tenants were also on their balconies looking for the phantom airplane. Went outside where man is pointing his cell camera toward the sky. When asked if he had seen anything, he said he hadn't. Sent to Linda Howe at the time who replied as puzzled as was I.

Polson, MT
On July 14th, approx. 9:30 pm, my dogs started barking like i have never heard them bark, I turned off the radio, and opened the window, which then I heard a sound that i have never heard, at first i thought it was a very large aircraft flying very low, but the sound was different, so i went outside to look for it,i saw nothing, but the sound persisted, it also sounded like the rushing of a lot of air, with a droning very loud sound, then it just stopped. i saw nothing ,i mentioned it to a friend across the valley to the east over by the Mission Mountains, at first she thought the same thing as me but saw nothing.

Ruskin, FL
I finally saw something in a pitch black sky that made the wife and me both say, "What the hell did we just see"? Coming into sight over the tree line, heading due west, in a dark sky (about 9:15 pm, Monday July 14th), with no other cars in sight, was a bright light looking like it might have been a plane heading for the air force base. We were traveling North on hwy 41, between Palmetto, Fl, and Ruskin, Fl. Being the only lit object in sight, about 1 mile up, we were both looking right at the light, when it changed direction 180 degrees and was gone in less than a second. It never stopped or made a turn. I saw a bright whiteish light. Since the wife wasn’t driving, she spent more time checking it out and said she saw a red light at the bottom of the object. The whole sighting was only 5 seconds long. Watched it coming into view for about 4 seconds, and then right back out the way it came in, less than a second later. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded and serious. PD

Cropwell, AL
Above Logan Martin lake. Initially thought it was a plane on fire, but continued to fly south in our direction. The the craft/object then headed west, and then accelerated north and disappeared. Clear moonlit sky. No sound was heard from craft/object. If placed inside the moon, the object would be close to touching the edges of the moon (for size reference).

Cropwell, AL
As I was looking up toward the sky I saw what looked like a flame coming towards us. I began to think it was a plane on fire that was about to crash heading in our direction. It began to descend so close, I almost panicked then it started ascending again. From where I was standing in the lake it began to go toward my left in the direction of Pell City. I had to walk further in the water to keep it in sight so the trees weren't blocking my view. Within a few seconds it was no longer visible at all. I found this strange because of how slowly it was descending. This was the strangest thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

Chewelah, WA
I was sleeping in the woods alone with a sleeping bag and flashlight as an "adventure" of sorts. It was the night of the full moon, so I had been staring up at the stars and moon for a couple hours. I'm not sure of the exact time because I had no clock to check. There was no light pollution other than the moon itself. I had been counting planes to fly overhead and got to about 7 when the stopped for about five minutes. I was confused, but kept staring at the sky waiting for the next plane to fly overhead. I don't think it was a plane. The UFO would flash brightly, brighter than stars, then dim out so i could barely see it inconsistently. When it was at its brightest it looked like some sort of explosion? About the size of a plane, if not larger. It would zoom quickly then slow down the entire time. I watched it fly across my area of vision, but it never flew at a consistent speed, only quickly or slowly. It was too far to tell shape or anything, so it could be a plane or something, but I really don't think so. Also: I have lots of bug bites from sleeping in the forest, but two in particular. Two matching circular red markings identical to eachother on both sides of my body. Just above the hip bone. I thought they were spider bites at first, but theyre too similar and in the exact spot so who knows. I've also experience periods of "Missing Time". One time two friends and I were walking dogs in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho near Cherry Hill. I dropped my phone from my pocket so they kept going and I turned back to find it. I found my phone and went back to them, but when I got there it felt like it had been hours since I left them. They said it couldn't have been more that 20 minutes, but I swear the sun was way too far and it had been at least three hours? Unsure.

Durant, OK
Walking to the store i thought i heard a helicopter, the sound disapated approximetly 10 seconds later, I look up into the sky to see two white lights, they appeared to be coneccted together, the first was flying extremely fast it then came to a sudden stop, the second 1 soon followed. It was as if it was a single ship coming out of what appeared to be somekind of warpdrive? the space between the two objects seemed as if it was emitting somekind of invisiblity cloak. The lights soon converged into one location in the sky then almost instantly flew away.

New Orleans, LA
Gf and I were sitting on the porch when a bright bluish white object passed over the house like a shooting star would. The object was traveling very fast and looked to be heading straight to the ground on a downward angle... Never seen anything like it before... It was too big to be a shooting star and too visible but to bright at the same time... Happened at exactly 9:25

Hadley, MA
On Saturday July 12, 2014, I went outside to photograph the full moon. I took one picture, but I wanted several more. As I snapped the photos, I saw several orbs, and I took the picture. The object appeared to be rope shape with several glowing orbs within it. Two additional photos showed additional strange object, but with the moon clearly visible. Please note that it was a clear night. There were no clouds that obstructed the view. The photos were taken with my IPhone. I will send the images.

Katy, TX
As I was leaving a restaurant in the La Centera shopping area in Katy, I noticed two greenish bluish lights. The lights appeared to be traveling unusually low to the ground at a speed which seemed in excess of what any plane or jet could achieve. Couldn't tell if it was one or two crafts. Two other persons (daughter and father perhaps, I did not know them) walking in the parking lot also saw same lights and also thought the lights were very strange; they remarked how it could not be a shooting star. The way it was traveling low and fast with no sound was somewhat unsettling, particularly in contrast to the airplanes and jets which frequently fly through this area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Benton, LA
On July 12, 2014, I was fishing on Cypress Lake in Benton, LA. Around sunset, approximately 2100, a light streaked across the sky from one end of the lake to the other. It was very fast white light. I think the direction was east to west.

Roseburg, OR
I zoomed in to get a closer look, and noticed two to three planet like objects around the moon. One was a redish color, one was a greenish color, and the one I could not make out the color. They moved around the moon.

Carlton, MN
I was driving to work, when I saw what appeared to be 4 bright orange lights appear out of no where. Being curious, I drove to a nearby side road and recorded on video 3 bright orange lights. Though my camera sucked at the video and doesn't show them nearly as bright as they were in person, you clearly see 3 bright orange lights, two of them disappear out of no where, and then a 4th and 5th light come from a set of trees. As the video rolls on, you can really only see 4 as the 5th one was kind of far from the camera and can't really see it. When I stopped recording because only one light was left, I took off in my car and drove to a nearby soccer field. I got out and looked every where for even a glimpse of an aircraft and saw nothing.

Santa Clara, NM
The light continued from that location for as long as it took to drive to Santa Clara. It was just breaking daylight and I could tell as I neared Santa Clara that the light emitting UFO was just above and to the east of Santa Clara. When the sky became visible blue color I could see the object was still there shining its light. It was many thousands of feet in the air but appeared to be circular shapes, it was still in the sky when I left the area. Too small to capture on my camera. We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

Ochoco National Forest, OR
While sitting on a park bench at the campsite off Summit Road in the Ochoco National Forest my companion and I were visited by unknown beings that were talking inside of our minds about performing a brain cavity search. This event occurred whilst we were in the middle of a conversation and both of us immediately went silent as an unknown voice spoke silently in our minds about receiving access to our mind. The entire event lasted roughly five minutes, started at the same time, and ended at the same time. Without any verbal communication we both looked at one another and stated the same confusion as to what just happened while complete paralysis consumed us. Almost immediately after the event we experienced a large increase in the light being reflected off of the moon that disturbed both of our corneas when attempting to better understand what was happening. For several hours after the event I kept feeling as though I needed to ground myself electrically as if there was a current running through my body with a heightened attention on my feet. Sleep was not possible.

Chicago, IL
We were laughing and talking about the memories of our deceased friend on the front porch, on a some what cloudy day. The sun had not officially been set, so it was still some what daylight outside. When there was a large moving shadow block the little light we was receiving from the sun it became instantly dark and you can hear the sound of something like a loud generator. The sudden change in light made everyone look up and we all witnessed colorful lights glowing red, blue, then green. It was like what ever it was it was on the other side of the clouds we couldn’t see exactly what it was but there was this generator sound. I was in shock when I was able to pull myself together I reached for my phone to record as it hovered over our heads then it sped off with the sound of like a jet and took the shadow with it and there was light again but immediately the lights of the homes of the residential block including street lights flickered then power was gone then restored minutes later on their own… I made a post on Facebook about my sighting at that moment. but never mentioned it again but I always think about that day

Williston, VT
At 9:15 pm on the east coast, i stepped outback onto my porch in Williston Vermont. As i looked ahead just above the tree line i noticed a flashing light. it was white, then red, then back to white, back to red, so on and so forth. At first i thought it was a plane far away because of the flashing lights, but after a second i noticed that it wasn't flying in a line, it was changing its direction very radically, it went from the right side of me towards the left, then went up, back towards the right, and then it was just gone. I sat and watched the part of the sky i had seen it in for about a minute more, thinking maybe it had just gotten blocked from sight by the clouds in the sky. but i never saw it again. i have no idea how far away it actually was. but from what i saw it looked to be a circle with flashing red and white lights. from the distance i was at it seemed to only move a few inches in the sky. the entire time i saw it was no more then fifteen seco! nds.

El Cajon, CA
I was driving back from a restaurant around 10:40pm. I was at a stop light, and I saw this red/orange orb in the sky so I told my friend who was in the car with me to check out that red light. He looked up too, and within seconds it was flashing lights from each side, at that moment I thought it was just an airplane but I kept looking, and this orb dropped a red light which disappeared within seconds. The orb was still in the sky, and had stopped blinking from the sides. About a minute later the Orb looked like it was flickering, and started to disappear, but my friend said he could still see it in the sky while I was driving, and the light was very faint by this time. I think it disappeared about 30 seconds after that.

Los Angeles, CA
I was at Hollywood Forever cemetery in L. A. sightseeing with my husband, when I felt strange and had the sensation that maybe an earthquake was going to take place, and also noticed birds stopped singing. The trees in the area, which was an empty part of the cemetery with no people and many palms, started to move strangely and bend from the tops as if pulled. I felt odd. I took a picture of the palms and then applied a simple vignette filter to the photo in-camera (Canon EOS 60D) and saved it, not noticing the object at all at the time. Afterwards, we went to our car, which was a ten-minute walk away, and found the battery completely dead, to the point we had to buy a new one from AAA to start the engine, and the alarm was going off only when switched off/battery removed, which was impossible. We went home, and when I downloaded the photo we saw the object. When we returned home I had severe red sunburn even under my clothes. Since this day I have had severe sunburn even if I go in mild sun, whereas before I could sunbathe without sun protection. We now live in Spain but I would like to know what happened.

Phelan, CA
Being was able to stand with 1 leg inside the bed and 1 outside the bed. It had no clothing. I looked at face 1st and it was looking at my wife. It had bumps where ears would be, no hair anywhere, it had a bump and ridges in the crotch area. I was just about to go into a paralyzed state and I had the lights on in the room. I have had instances for 44 years. I was going to fight it but it grabbed my upper left arm then vanished. The head was same size as ours and eyes were black. It had no lips. It was powdery bluish gray in color. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Applegate, OR
Last night (July 7, 2014) sometime around midnight, I was watering the garden. There is a clear view of the mountains from the garden and I looked over and saw what looked like a shooting star, though it was bright green, fall behind the mountain. It was very bright. As I was staring at the spot where it disappeared, a large craft of some kind, with blinking red lights, slowly moved to the left, appearing to hesitate in mid air for brief seconds, then proceed again slowly to the left. It appeared to possibly be a round craft. The only lights present were red. It was very close to the top of the mountain and made no sound. It appeared to be quite large, though it is difficult to gauge its size from my mountain, across the little valley. I left the scene before it disappeared. The duration was several minutes.

Pahrump, NV
At 22:00 I went out to close my gate and when I turned around facing south I looked up on the night sky and saw what looked like two pin spots coming toward me. Since I don't know how big the craft was I can only say that as I now put my hands out in front of me and say the two lights were "this far apart" the distance between my hands would be about one foot. The lights switched to brighter as if to check me out and I immediately turned my flash light on it, the lights went back the level they were, and it turned around and headed south. As it flew away I could see some light blinking. I could not tell what the shape of the craft was, but the two lights were bridged together by an orange or red line. It made no sound that I could hear. The blinking light leads me to believe that the craft was in compliance with that FAA regulation so might likely be a man=made drone. To the west of it I did see what looked like an ink spot over a square sha! pe that looked like a picture frame. Never saw anything like that before.

Olympia, WA
It happened in July 2014 right after the 4th of July in Olympia, WA. My girlfriend and I were star gazing in a football field. She had the sudden urge to leave and then I felt the urge to leave that she did. We started to head out towards the gate and had to go through the field to get out. Once we got in the middle of the football field, we were surrounded by figures that kept fading in and out of our vision. I couldn’t make out any faces, but they were a dark tannish dirt color. Some were tall and some were short and a bit fatter. The shorter ones were still taller than me and I’m 5’5. We kind of stood in the center of them like we couldn’t move for about 5 seconds and then we bolted toward the gate (It was the only area that the aliens weren’t covering). We didn’t stop running until we got to the street. My girlfriend first told me what she saw and it is exactly what I saw. I also completely forgot about the entire experience for a few years, until I had a dream about those aliens. Can you give me any closure at all? At the time, I believed but wasn’t educated in it, so I didn’t take note of losing time or anything. Closure would be amazing… (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

Norwalk, OH
It was not a plane or helicopter. I was very fast moving across the sky as I watched it seemed to have turned the halo was gone and was only a very small red light and was gone.
