Roswell (35 miles south of), NM
My brother and I were on motorcycles headed South on HWY 285 about 35 miles from Roswell (what a weird coincidence) on our way to Austin. Both of us were raised by a retired USAF pilot, and we both know our military airplanes. We both spotted an aircraft moving from West to East above the highway in front of us (as we looked South ahead of us). It moved at the speed of a jet fighter, probably going about 500 mph at 1-2 thousand feet. Our view of the craft was a look at the side profile. When each of us saw it we both thought that: 1) the color was black, on a sunny day with no clouds, and 2) The profile was a dead ringer for an SR-71 Blackbird. We immediately discussed it on our CBs and found we had both thought the exact same thing, an SR-71. I thought they were all decommissioned and went to the internet when we got home today looking for info that they have activated an SR-71. I know the old Roswell AFB has a very long runway. Could the government be bringing one of these to active service based on what has been going on in the world recently? What a good place to test them. If anyone saw a test, they could claim its another Roswell UFO nut.

San Diego, CA
Weather conditions: Cloudless,clear skies. Warm. A flash of what appeared like a reflected bright light caught my attention when I first observed the object at an azimuth of 190 deg T and an altitude of approx 70 deg. It appeared to be rotating at a rate of 4 sec and reflecting a bright silvery light (Perhaps catching the morning sunlight.) It seemed to be be quite high and almost hard to find if it weren't for the flash of light. The movement was very slow as if it were drifting. The direction was from north to south. My observation was from the 70 deg point to 35 deg.. The travel time was approx 10 min. I used my 7X50 binocs to further investigate the object. The shape appeared to be a pipelike cylnder (a ratio of 10 to 1 length to width). It also had some sort of an arrow shaped tip. It appeared to be at a very high altitude, perhaps space and therefore the object appeared quite small. It continued to drift south. I believe it may have been some object (junk) in space that was rotating and reflecting the sunlight. We often observe the ISS (at night), which is a fast moving object, lasting no longer than 6 min in transit..

Lake Port, CA
We noticed try these light objects gaining altitude and then coming back down the east side of the lake. They seemed to get larger than smaller in size and almost seemed to be shape shifting into different shapes. About a hour had past and I noticed a 3rd object in the north part of the lake. This object was by itself, we continued to see these objects beyond sun rise so close to 7 am. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Washington Township, NJ
I walked out in my backyard before an expected rainstorm. The sky was very dark with clouds. I was only outside for about 2 minutes when I witnessed a moving “bell-shaped” object that appeared to be translucent with a very bright orange/yellow glow inside of it, almost like fire. It looked to be about 10 to 12 feet tall by maybe 5 to 7 feet wide. (I thought it looked like a big jellyfish without tentacles.) I would estimate it was only 40-50 feet off the ground when I first saw it come over the neighbor’s house, moving upward and across the sky from North to South. There was no sound. I screamed for my husband – he ran outside and saw it, too, though not as close-up as me – then we ran out front. We watched as it went higher and higher in the sky, and we watched the bright light very high up in the sky, before it eventually disappeared. There was not enough time to grab a camera.

Sacramento, CA
Third Party report. I’m reporting a sighting for a co-worker. On 8/13/14, at approximately 9:40 PM, a bright amber colored object passed over Sacramento, CA, moving from south to north. From Watt Ave towards Fair Oaks Blvd. No sound, the light illuminated from all sides, the object appeared front & back to pointed with a thicker middle section like two funnels put together (not really sure because of the object’s brightness) End of Report

Clifton Park, NY
Myself and 2 strangers noticed 5-6 very bright orange dots flying across the night sky in formation. It seemed that the objects had the orange light on the front of the crafts. When they turned the light faded away. There was no sound at all. They were flying much lower than most airplanes fly here and about the same distance away from the ground as helicopters fly. One of the strangers took a photo of the craft and in the picture it looked like orange boomerangs. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Our condos are on top of the hill of Bighorn Condos. My husband and I got home like 11pm at night, I stayed to look at the bright moon, while my husband went to our condo, it was beautiful moon, but then I noticed a soft white light circle orb flying in circular motion away from the moon, in and out of clouds, going up and down, and I know for a fact where we face away from the strip of Las Vegas, Nevada, and I know it wasn't a normal light, I have ever since. I Know for a fact it was an ORB, I video record it a little caption maybe like 5 seconds or less video, of the ORB and took one decent picture of the ORB..

Pawleys Island, SC
Saw a light come very fast from the direction of the ocean. I thought it might be a satellite as that was about the height it seemed to be. It then came to a complete halt and stayed stationary for 30 minutes or more. It was bright like a star but seemed to blink a series of colors.

Fountain Hills/Scottsdale/North Phoenix, AZ
On August 10th, 2014, at approximately 11:00 (23:00), I was pointing out the "triangle mothership" that is in the NE sky, when to the East was a shape-shifting "constellation". There were approximately 6 "stars" that shifted from a stem with bulb formation, to a polygon, and a straight line. Meanwhile, in the NE sky and the SE sky, two "stars" were syncing flashes. Red, Blue, Green. We then approached the West side of the building, and there witnessed more activity than I have ever seen. In the NW, there was a red cloud, where 40+ orbs were "dogfighting" and making extreme maneuvers. As this went on, there was a two light formation that went against the cloud movement at an incredible speed then stopped. At this time, two neighbors came out and asked what we were doing, to which we pointed out. Needless to say, they were in awe. At approximately 1:00 am, the moon started flashing bright white circles in an increasingly fast pattern, till a wave of white crossed the moon and ensconced the moon in a white light brighter than anything I've seen. It was almost as if the moon was "activated". The cloud formations at this time became extremely detailed, to the point 4 people all saw the exact images simultaneously. These were groups of human faces, most with looks of horror, and always with a Grey face behind them. At 1:22 am a triangular shape (think the flux capacitor) flashing in a haphazard pattern red appeared in the WNW sky, and approached us on a SE course. This object flew at incredible speeds for being that high up, and only produced a low hum. As it passed over the building we were all viewing from, it cast a white light over the building, then disappeared in a flash.

Traverse City, MI
Was going into the backyard to adjust the telescope for viewing the full moon. Noticed 5 red lights in formation first thought was it was aircraft but then realized the lights were large and close together. The line of sight was over some trees and I would guess that the lights were with in a mile from me and not that high in the sky. I was yelling for my wife to witness what I was seeing but she couldn't hear me. So, I ran to the house, and she ran out. I would say that took less than twenty seconds for us both to be back to the spot of sight. We witnessed one light disappear rapidly into the upper skyline at a very rapid rate not sure where the rest went. The lights were almost like a v shape and were a constant brightness. I am reporting this as I am hoping others in the area may have seen the same thing at a better sight advantage. The length of time from the sighting to the red light disappearing into the night sky was less than two minutes it happened very quickly. Wish I had had more time to observe.

Metairie, LA
My friend and I were heading back to his house from the gas station when we observed an unusual occurence. It appeared to be a jagged an awkwardly shaped private jet with two pairs of wings. It was flying much too low for its distance from the airport. It hardly made any noise and didn't have the regulatory green and red wing lights. The bottom was fully lit up. The craft appeared to be a shimmery charcoal grey. My friend and I couldn't believe it and were filled with unease and curiosity. We tailed the craft for a few blocks. It made sharp unwavering turns like a helicopter before finally making its way toward Kenner (where the airport is). It was too far to be that low. As we neared Cleary, we ran into a friend of ours and gave him a ride home. After bringing up the strange "plane," our mutual friend took the words out of our mouths about witnessing this strange occurence. He too felt the same gut-wrenching discomfort and curiosity. It was unreal. My family has lived here our whole lives and not once witnessed something like that. My father was just speculating the other day that if aliens exist and have been working with our government, their craft may look more "humanized" by now…

Colchester, VT
In back of our apartment there is a stretch of empty woods with a small stream, sort of lime a valley inbetween our road and a road a mile over. We were sitting on our back deck visiting and i saw what looked like a little fire in a tree between some leaves. Once i drew my 2 companions attention to it it started ‘flying’ very slowly in a straight line from left to right, approx 100 yards or less from us and probably 40-50 feet off the ground. When it came thru the opening we could see a perfect orange circle that was almost glowing, it seemed so bright like fire, and it was almost like it was transparent but you couldnt see thru it and it was glowing like orange fire. Once it got approx 50-100 yards to the right, it just ‘blinked out’ and was gone. It was like a curtain or veil was pulled over it or something except the sky was clear and we had a perfect view. It was then that we realized when it had first appeared everything went silent, all birds, animals etc were silent. It didnt make any noise but it was almost like you could feel a buzz or hum inside your chest. Once it disappeared, all at once the animals went back to normal chirping and whatnot. Not sure if it's related but after that i was diagnosed with cervical cancer and one of my companions had sudden onset of health issues as well.

Franklin, MA
Odd black bat- or bird-shaped object a couple of hundred feet up, drifted lazily northwest until it disappeared behind the tree canopy horizon. Object never flapped, so it seemed unlikely to have been a bird. It appeared to have something rope-like dangling from it, so we think it may have been a kite. I looked at it through a 9x scope, but couldn't gather any additional details. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bright light moving at high speed from West to Northeast. Was a bright light with no colored light or no flashing lights. Never saw a green or red light. Much brighter by 10 times than satellites. Not a high altitude aircraft. Was as bright or brighter than the brightest star out. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saw a strange plane or a new model of plane flew over my house accompanied by a black helicopter flying low. They flew towards southeast. Sound of helicopter overbearing any other sounds. Helicopter tailed white plane with strange wings towards the front and back of vehicle. No appearance of propellers visible.

My girlfriend and I witnessed a bright orange glowing light - at first we believed it to be Mars, but unbeleivably bright - until it started to move in various directions, seemingly hovering. As we got dressed to go check it out, I witnessed the light dim, re-emerge, and vanish. Its movement was unlike any vehicle I have seen.

Mission Viejo, CA
This evening, Wednesday August 8th, 2018, I was watching a video on YouTube entitled Chasing NASA’s U-2 Over Trail Of 1000 Giants by the ‘UFO Seekers’. In this video they mentioned your organization – one which until tonight I was unaware of. Currently, I reside in a small Canadian town in rural Saskatchewan, but back in 2014, I was living and working in Lake Forest/Mission Viejo, California. At this time, I was living in Lake Forest and commuting roughly 2 miles to work (A night shift job for Ralphs Supermarket) into Mission Viejo to the South. The UFO I saw was interesting, to say the least. I’m quite familiar with the stories and videos of glowing orbs, cigar shaped and disc shaped objects, but what I witnessed did not fall into any of these categories. I cannot remember the exact date, but it was the latter part of summer in 2014 (I returned to Canada in October of 2014, and this event occurred about two months prior to that time.) at roughly 10:00 p.m. The sky was clear on this evening, with little if any wind, and out of habit I was driving with both of my side windows rolled completely down. The Orange County Sheriffs made it a habit of parking their cars in some of the parking lots in and along Trabuco Road (Orange County) as part of their regular patrol duties, so I was always a bit more cautious when I saw their cars, and on this evening there were several in their usual places. As I was approaching the intersection of Trabuco Road at Alicia Parkway, and slowing to stop at the red light, a grid (or matrix) of electrical light appeared and was moving (flying) from behind me and to my right. It was roughly 40 feet above the ground, traveling at about 25 mph, and moving in a Southeast direction. As it moved there was a distinct sound of electrical discharge – similar to that given off by a downed power line. The forward movement of this object was caused by what appeared to be a continuous reshaping, reappearing, and forward rotation of the grid’s lines of electrical light. While the entire object never completely disappeared, some of the lines would but they were quickly replaced by one or more lines of similar length. The thickness of the lines seemed to vary a bit – especially while they were forming. My first thought was (Wow) I need to get a better look at this! But I was in a moving car and slowing for a red light. (And I did not need to be ticketed, much less arrested for telling the police a story they would never believe!) I was almost at a stop, when the light turned green, so I proceeded into (and driving through) the intersection at Trabuco Road and Alicia Parkway. The Ralphs (now closed) was on the southeast side of the intersection in a large strip mall. As I proceeded through the intersection I noticed that there was a grid or matrix of light moving up, down, and around the street light post on the Southeast corner of the intersection. It changed colors as it did this, alternating from red to green to amber, but not necessarily in that order. Anyway, when I got into the parking lot, I hurriedly drove over to and parked in the closest stall nearest this corner and got out of my car. I approached the street light post with some trepidation, but I guess curiosity overcame my fear. Unfortunately there was nothing to observe! This entire even last about three minutes, but due to the circumstances involved, I was only able to view this object (as it flew) for about 5 to 6 seconds, and less than that as it affixed itself to the street light post. Yes, I read the part about Hoaxed and Joke reports. And, no this is neither. I am not now, nor have I ever been associated with the military (in the US or Canada). I am just a common man who has worked any job I can get in order to support myself. I am a dual citizen, and I was in California for two years after completing a bankruptcy here in Canada. I hold a Class 1 license now, for which I had to pass a comprehensive physical exam. I have also passed at least one Criminal Background Check here in Canada for a former job with Pepsico. Those who know me would say I’m of rational mind and fairly logical. So I would not take the time to write all of this in order for you to simply discard it, and I hope you don’t. I would have reported this sooner had I known where and who to report it to, but I still see it as worthwhile, and I hope you agree. Thank you for your time! Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Uncasville, CT
Trapezoidal shape with three lights on side that were very bright hovering slowly over car, at tree line. It was extremely low and made a loud noise but no air underneath it being pushed like a hovercraft might. Very bright too. Extremely easy to spot that it was unbelievable to be either government or extra terrestrial. Had different colored lights underneath (red, green, purple). Looked like a slowly hovering trapezoid floor that didn't mind being spotted. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As soon as I stepped out I saw the object moving in a glide-like motion very fast. It seed to move much faster then the planes in the sky. It had four (4) solid lights on each of its four (4) corners. One (1) light in the center. All of the lights were very bright. They were brighter then planes flying. No blinking lights like the other planes in the sky. It was gone quick. The shape was either square or triangle. We have amended the time, to reflect an evening sighting. PD

Olathe, KS
White or shiny object drifting slowly down. Don't know size of object to help judge the altitude and distance, but I would say first observed at 15,000' and following it slowly down to approx. 3,000' when it was lost visually due to white cloud background. First witness said she heard jet noise then looked west and saw a jet climbing somewhat vertical. After jet disappeared from sight she looked a little south and saw the object in question. I skydive and would compare it to a cutaway parachute drifting down with no real pattern and at a fairly slow rate. We watched it for 4 or 5 minutes before losing sight. Contacted FAA FSDO office. He contacted KC Center and New Century Tower and neither had any reports. Air traffic in vicinity was warned of potential object.

Two sets of three lights blinking at a random pattern about 100 ft apart. Lights looked like they were getting closer and then farther between the 100 ft radius. FLYING REALLY LOW. Silent no sound I pulled out cellphone to take photo and phone went crazy. It dailed numbers over and over even if I pressed end call and would not shut off.

Selma-Coos Bay, OR
My son, his friend and I were camping at Spaulding Pond in Josephine County on 7-31-14. High in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness area off of Hwy 199, near Selma Oregon. We were camping and had been hearing quite a few jets and jet engines flying fairly low over the mountains. We had been watching the stars and the sky due to all the jet noise. We were pointing out airplanes as we saw them, when a large orange glowing light appeared over the mountains toward the coast. It appeared stationary. It expanded and contracted a couple times and disappeared after a few seconds (maybe 5 or so). It looked to be over in the Coos Bay area from our mountain top view.
