Tucson, AZ
My husband and I live about thirty miles west of Tucson. We were driving home from Tucson for the evening. At 20:43 an orange light suddenly lit up in the sky over the Kitt Peak Observatory. It lasted approximately forty five seconds then simply dimmed and went out.

Willowbrook, IL
The witness was heading north on Cass Ave. to get on the highway to go to work. At the time he was driving past the property that Argon National Lab is located on. He first noticed the object because it was reflecting the sunlight in a way that seemed to make it glitter; easily visible against the clear blue sky. At first he thought the object was a plane but thought it was strange that it was reflecting light in the way it was. Upon further observation he determined that the object didn't seem to be following any sort of linear path, but instead seemed to be maintaining its position for the entire duration of the observation. The object appeared to be a thin elliptical shape that was spinning along its horizontal axis. After watching it for less than a minute he decided to call a family member and tell them what he was seeing. Almost as soon as he had that thought, the object instantly vanished from sight leaving no trace that it had been there. (MUFON 57528)

Lincoln, NE
Okay I swear on my life this happened. It was a few years ago. I guess 2012-2016 because that's the era of my ending-childhood that mixes for me, and I know for a fact it was in one of those years. There were 6 other witnesses with me, all of which my siblings, all of which a few years younger/older than me. I was outside of my home, standing on my driveway (in the suburbs) when I look up and see it. It's cloudy outside, and there's a distinct thing spinning under the clouds. It was the shape of an S. It reminded my little-kid mind of a worm, but it was the shape of an S. It was dark, dark gray, and more like black. There were no lights or anything. It was falling, but more like descending because it wasn't free-falling or anything. It was a flat S, sitting horizontally in the sky. It was spinning at the rate of like three seconds for one rotation, also horizontally. Me and my siblings all stood on the driveway shouting and staring at it. Our mom heard us from inside and told us to be quiet. For some reason she didn't come out and look?? Even though we obviously were seeing something. We had a theory that it was something for the military, or a foreign military, but that the last-case scenario was that it was a UFO. I've never believed in aliens but I need to know what this was.

Colorado Springs, CO
Bright flashing light between NORAD and pikes peak. It was flashing green, red, purple, orange and a bluish color. It was doing a small figure eight pattern up and down for five or so minutes then every 30 to 45 seconds what looked like a second craft melted away from the original craft each became half the size when it was one piece. Both craft were maintaining the up and down figure eight pattern. The flashing of the light increased in speed till it just flashed out gone but with as far as I was from this event, This thing or things was HUGE. I really hope I wasn't the only one who saw this insanity.

Grand Rapids, MI
4 Stars in a square formation with a large white circular object that was much bigger than a planet. The circular object seemed to move south, then it changed direction. It apparently started to stop and then started to gain altitude. It quickly receded from view. It would be important to note that the stars are noted for refrence. This object moved faster than any sattelite and was very abrupt in direction changes.

Then at its britest point a gray thin line shot to the right. Now we faced north. It was almost strate up. . 12:00 is strate up so about 11:30 would be the angle. Possible flare from an Iridium satellite? PD

Miami, FL
When we called for everyone else outside, it faded away steadily from our horizon towards the dark sky, until it blended into the nightfall as a dimming star, until we were no longer able to see it. Should you require a pic of the compass app we captured, it's available. Moreover, we each decided to draw a pic of what we saw without showing it to each other until drawn, the two drawings were very similar. To whom it may concern, this incident was very real & somewhat disturbing... Hopefully it WON'T be taken as a prank. Respectfully, two baffled individuals! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Marysville, OH
I was driving westbound on US Rt. 33 towards Marysville. I was getting close to Scottslawn Rd. when I saw an aircraft of some sort that I initially thought might be circling around to land at Union County airport. But then it started heading towards me above Rt 33. It seemed to be rather low, so I paid close attention to it. As it drew nearer to me I came to realize it did not appear to be an airplane or helicopter. I got a good look at it as it passed above me out the driver side window. It was maybe 200 feet up in the air, and it was a hexagonal shape, and on the bottom of the craft, there was a large blue circular light in the middle, and smaller blue circular lights at each corner of the hexagon. Also, what struck me as being very strange is the craft made no sound. If it were a jet or any other craft I'm familiar with, at that altitude, it would have been pretty loud. It was really weird, and freaked me out. It was headed towards Dublin, OH down rt. 33. Definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen in person with my own eyes. There is only 3 possibilities of what it was in my mind, a secret military/government aircraft, a drone (but it was too big to be a drone I think), or an alien spacecraft.

Oceanside, CA
We were outside on deck a talking when I saw a small orange light floating up above the person I was speaking to. First just one light as it descended into the clouds another began to rise up, soon there were 6 small orange lights following one another. All appeared to be drifting along as if following the coastline then they too began to float upward, one by one disappearing into the low bank of clouds. We are about one minute from the entrance to Camp Pendleton army base. After these small orbs descended into clouds a very quiet helicopter flew overhead four time, making a five mile radius circle around the area but flying each time flying directly over our heads before flying off south in the direction where the orbs came from. I am a female artist visiting Calif. and the other person is a male Electrician doing electrical work on new construction for the military on Camp Pendleton itself.

Alamo, CA
I was standing outside my house, and I heard a very loud noise and an oval shape hovering in the sky. It was moving slowly, so I watched it thinking it was an airplane too close to the ground. But after about 45 seconds the craft suddenly disappeared. It had 5 very light blue lights.

Mission Viejo, CA
The object, once first seen, appeared as a V of bright, large, orange lights that seemed to be staying still. The object then morphed into what looked like two triangle shapes composed of many lights, as some lights drifted up toward the object. It morphed once again into what looked like two diamond shapes connected. At this point, an outline of a large object could be seen moving. The lights slightly dimmed, and some even faded out. I witnessed one light in particular drifting down to the ground. The object was covered by trees as I exited the freeway to park and get a better look, but the object had completely vanished, as well as the lights.

Petaluma, CA
Looking out my second story bedroom sliding glass door, in the north west sky, I saw what I first thought was a very brilliant multicolored star. I put on my glasses and knew it wasn’t a star. Red, blue, green, white lights were glittering in an indeterminate pattern on a stationary object. Occasionally, the lights were a crystal white bright, but always changing and moving. The object did not move up and down at all, nor did it appear to move toward or away from me. I grabbed binoculars and that improved my view a bit, but the object seemed to be quite far away. I awakened my spouse who confirmed he saw the same thing. After about 20 minutes the oject tilted to the right, maybe a 20-30 degree angle, then stayed in that position for the duration of my ability to view it. The lights continued to glitter, change color and move mostly from the left to the right of the object, but sometimes the colored lights moved more up and down. Nearing 0330, the fog began to roll in and the object seemed to sink very slowly, over about a 5–10 minute time frame, until I was no longer able to see it at all.

Avenal, CA
11:30 pm-ish.... There were three of us driving on the 5 north when my passenger could barely speak and told me to look up. I must say it was very clear out and there were absolutely no lights ahead of us in the sky prior to this. When I looked up, there were 4 blue lights, and some object hoovering about 30 feet above my car. The moon-roof shade was open and we could clearly see the whole object. As soon as we looked up and started to point at the object, it began to fly away from the car, covering what we discussed and concluded was about a mile at most in 5-10 seconds. The object stopped and started to land. It moved and turned in ways that we all have never seen anything do before. I must clarify this object was bigger than a jet but smaller than a commercial plane. About 10 seconds after it landed there was a helicopter that appeared in the sky ahead moving very fast toward the downed object. There were many other lights in the sky that started being noticed in the next few seconds much higher up in the sky but above where the object landed. This vehicle made absolutely no noise and covered a lot of ground in a very short time. The passenger in the back seat, as the object landed, became obviously frightened and fell into a deep sleep 20 min after seeing the object. The front passenger and I have had weird visions, tingling, and nervousness, nauseous, and other interesting things since seeing the object...it was like we had to fight something off inside our heads talking to us.

New Smyrna Beach, FL
While walking on Bethune Beach, I noticed a smallish cloud. I wondered if it was a cloud-ship because of its odd shape and that it wasn’t moving. As I sat at the picnic tables I noticed that 2 larger clouds moved from the west to east and layered themselves above the smaller cloud. Each progressively larger. Once in that position they absolutely did not move for over 2 hours. They were situated directly above the shoreline. Also, a helicopter came from the north and once it got just south of these “clouds” it hovered in place for at least 2 minutes. It is not unusual for helicopters to travel from the Coast Guard Station (at the inlet) to Patrick Air Force Base, however this was a very different helicopter, it was flying much slower than they usually do and in all my years I have never seen one stop and hover. People took note of the helicopter, but I honestly don’t believe anyone else took note of the “clouds.” They were still in place when I left at 14:00 (2 p.m.). There were 2 other anomalies in the sky at the same time, but I will keep this limited to the UFOs.

We saw hundreds of flashing blue and red lights in the sky. They were moving fast and stopping from time to time. They went to over a mountain and stopped. Then, they changed their shape like stars in the sky. They had no noise at all.

Portland, OR
14 lights of various sizes, and mostly white, were covering about 10 range in the sky. A group 4 adults, 2 -17 year olds and my 14 year old son were sailing on the Columbia River near Portland, OR, when one looked up at the wind indicator and alerted everyone to what he thought were a group of skydivers. Many points of light and one was crescent shaped, like a modern parachute. As we kept watching we realized they were not getting any closer and there were some that appeared either smaller or farther away and two were red, for a total of 14 items. All of these items pretty much kept their scattered distance as they slowly proceeded from east to west but the odd thing it the crescent shaped object rotated very slowly…perhaps twice over the 15 or so minutes we saw them. I thought that with the height of the sun, it may be reflection off some space debris but when first spotted, the convex side of the crescent object was illuminated but when it rotated 180 degrees the convex side was still illuminated, but should have been in the shadow. Also, the two red objects were very bright red. We spoke with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD

Laurel, MT
I was fishing with my sons south of Laurel ,across the bridge. Time was 1:15am. My son said, "What is that, What is that." I looked up and spotted this object, had numerous lights. You could see the shape of it, but you could also almost see through it at the same time. There was slight cloud cover, and it was below the clouds, I'm guessing maybe 2500-3500 feet above the ground. I'm gonna say it was roughly the size of a City Block. The Thing was huge, and silent. It headed to the east towards Billings. We decided to leave and went to our vehicle about 5 minutes after spotting it. There was a Laurel city cop, pulling out of Riverside park, as we were approaching our vehicle. But not sure if he seen it or not.

St. Augustine, FL
I tried to film it on my iPhone but when we reviewed it there was nothing there like it never happen and this thing completely block out the sun at one point and then the sun started coming back like someone was lifting a curtain what ever it was it was invisible to the eyes and not there for any type of electronics my wife and I have beer talk about until now maybe others seen it I hope so I'm starting to think I'm crazy it's easier to explain in person the way this thing rose up sideways and down all at the same time Witness indicates that the date is approximate.

Lowell, MA
I first thought it was an airplane but it was too high in the sky. It was flashing orange/yellow colors. It took off quickly and stopped just as quickly as it started, hovered for a few seconds and then took off quickly and stopped again, but in a different direction. It continued to travel on in a zig zag form like that until I could no longer see it. ((

Snoqualmie Pass, WA
On our return trip to Yakima from Seattle, my wife was taking pictures of the mountains as we travelled over Snoqualmie Pass. That night at home she was reviewing her pictures and asked me what the V shaped object in her picture was. When I first looked at it, I told her she had the window up and she immediately said it was down. I then put my reading glasses on and saw that there were clouds between the object and the camera. I then told her that is what is called a UFO. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

North Myrtle Beach, SC
Walking on to the beach, we saw what looked like flashes of light communicating with each other in a very complicated yet uniform manner, walking a few yards a red light began to move across the sky towards us, a local military aircraft was flying in the opposite direction and for some time it looked like the light and the military air craft were going to collide, the light turned out to be much higher then the military craft and the 2 objects continued their routes, while this was occurring there were firework shows occurring several miles away in both directions of our location. The communicating lights gave way to a massive red colored craft with black sections between the lights which grew and vanished after about 10-15 seconds, the red light that looked like it was going to hit the aircraft hovered over the ocean and took an immediate 90° turn to sea and sped off, red lights began to appear on the seas horizon and hovered there for at least an hour before vanishing as a ship passed by. Walking on the beach back to the location of where the red light went out to sea was a very bright light, brighter then any star in the sky which morphed into a different shape, a helicopter went behind it and the craft vanished as the helicopter turned it's spotlight on. The communicating lights continued throughout the night. This event began around 9:30 pm and went on past 11:30 pm on June 18, 2014 in north myrtle beach

Scenery Hill, PA
My boyfriend and I had been sitting out on our front porch, looking up at the sky I had seen an orange like color that appeared to be a larger star. As we continued to sit and watch, it gradually got higher and closer. We continued down our front porch steps and it appeared larger, I ran into the house to get my phone to attempt to take a picture, the lights seemed to be too dim to be able to see. There were three lights on the object, one larger orange light, and two smaller red lights on the sides. Just the two red lights were flashing. The sky was quite foggy around it. It seemed to be "boomerang" shaped. It was smaller than a plane, and not the correct shape, nor sound to be a helicopter. It was flying way too low to be a plane, which is what struck me. It continued over near our house taking sharp turns, and out of sight within 30 seconds. We spoke with one of the two witnesses, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. They are sure that the object was not the International Space Station. PD
