Mexico City (Mexico) · Mexico
September 20th, 2017. It was a quite and tense Wednesday afternoon. Mexico City was still shocked by a terrible Earthquake that take took place just the day before. It was around 2 pm local time when I decided to go out and walk the dog along Avenida Santa Fe together with my wife and my 11 year old daughter. We stopped for a snack and sit outside a coffee-shop. As I looked Northeast, I saw a Mexican flag with a mourning- black ribbon at the top of a rude tower-crane, so I decided to register that symbolic moment with my smartphone. A week after, I was looking at the pictures I took that day, when I noticed a black spot on the left upper side of one of them. The “live” mode was turned on for those pictures which gave them 3 seconds motion, and with this motion the “spot” moves East in a constant direction with incredible speed. Looking even more carefully I could see this same spot in other “live” pictures too, it appears and disappears very quickly.

On the morning of Sunday, September 17th, our family was at church as is our custom. It was 1055 AM, and I poured myself a coffee in the foyer, then went outside to the steps of the church. It was a sunny clear blue sky with a few scattered clouds. Looking up to the north, a bright glowing circular or perhaps egg shaped UFO appeared, travelling in a south easterly direction in a straight path below cloud level. While I was watching it the UFO made an impossible turn at a 45 degree angle and proceeded in a straight path eastward until out of sight. The UFO seemed to going about 100 to 200 km/hr. There was a fellow coming into the church and he saw the object as well. The main witness (myself) is a University graduate with a BSc and Technical college graduate as well as a graduate in Bible Theology from a Saskatchewan Bible College. I work full time and have been married 25 years and have 2 children.

Luanda (Angola), Angola
Eu estava a tirar fotos com o meu novo telefone, com o meu irmão e depois de várias fotos acabamos por tirar uma foto onde aparece um objecto luminoso. Eu pensei que era um erro de foto ou que estava a alucinar, o clima estava muito estranho para ser meia noite, estava bem nublado e o mais estranho é que estava a cair um tipo de pó, parecido com teia de aranha e cor branca. Eu ignorei tudo isso e acabei por ir dormir, o meu irmão tbm. 3 anos depois vimos nas notícias um estranho objecto que foi visto no Brasil no mesmo ano ( 2017 ) e depois disso nós chegamos a conclusão que era um OVNI.

I was outside in my backyard at dusk and suddenly saw a single bright light in the sky. It appeared as though it was an airplane flying overhead toward me. The light was there for about 5 seconds and then it just disappeared. It was as if it went into a cloud, however it was a clear evening and there were no clouds in the sky. I kept looking for the “plane” for a couple of minutes, but never saw it again.

Bright fiery light followed by long lasting rumbling (1 minite approximately), every animal around ie: dogs, horses, cows, chickens, coyotes all went nuts calling out and searching for cover. News report mentioned it but nothing concrete as to what it was... Possibly a meteor?

Kalamazoo, MI
Two or three times a week, I visit East Hall on the campus of Western Michigan University (the old east campus, if you're familiar), an alumni center on a large hill (Prospect Hill) with an outdoor balcony area (facing East) that overlooks the city of Kalamazoo, MI. On a clear day, you're able to see signage on Sprinkle Road 7 miles away, so I'd say visibility is at least 7-8 miles from the balcony. It's a great place to watch sunrise, watch the clouds pass, or watch the air traffic over Kalamazoo: either the helicopters landing at one of the two hospitals or the planes coming into Kalamazoo International Airport, etc. In other words, East Hall has a great view of the entire city of Kalamazoo and its airspace. For more info and a photograph of the balcony area of East Hall go to: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Campus_(Western_Michigan_University 7:05 p.m.-7:09p.m. As soon as I walked up to the wall/railing at the edge of the balcony area and looked out (see photographs), I immediately noticed an unusual, featureless, solid black, roughly acorn-shaped/spherical object on the horizon, completely stationary, approx. 1 thumb's width above the tree line, due East of the balcony area. I'm 5' 8'' tall and from where I was standing, the object appeared to be at eye level with me. I immediately began taking pictures. The black object appeared to be hovering, completely stationary, in between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek (26 miles due east of Kalamazoo). I was not able to gauge the exact distance, but the black object looked to be well outside the city limits of Kalamazoo, possibly as far east as Battle Creek. (Perhaps it's worth mentioning there's a military base with an airstrip in between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek: Fort Custer) The stationary, black object clearly and instantly stood out as unusual against the grayish clouds behind it. I've watched all sorts of air traffic from East Hall for years: helicopters landing at either hospital, air traffic coming in to Kalamazoo International Airport, hot air balloons, drones more recently, etc. This didn't look like any air traffic I've ever seen before. 7:09p.m.-7:16p.m. est The black object remained stationary for ~ 4 minutes, before I called a friend in Galesburg, MI, (in between Kalamazoo, MI and Battle Creek, MI, 7 miles due east) and asked her to go outside and scan the horizon. She didn't notice anything unusual in the sky. During this time, I began pacing the length of the balcony area to get different vantage points of the object and during this time it very gradually ascended a very short distance (less than a thumb's width) and traveled a very short distance in a northerly direction (moving less than a thumb's width to the left). Its motion was so subtle that I really wasn't able to see it with my naked eye, rather, repeatedly returning to the spot where I initially spotted the object to judge its progress. When the black object had finished moving (more or less coinciding with the duration of the call) the object was less than a thumb's width away from where I spotted it initially, having moved very slightly to the north (to the left)! and ascended very slightly. The object's size did not change during the duration of the sighting. 7:16p.m.-7:23p.m. I ended the call with my friend in Galesburg and began looking for a phone number for the Battle Creek Police Department, eventually finding a number for Calhoun County Sheriff's Department. The object remained stationary during this time. 7:23p.m.-7:28p.m. I called the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department to see if they were aware of any hot air balloons, large drones, etc. in the air over Battle Creek or the surrounding area. They were not aware of any. Almost immediately as I was put on hold to transfer dispatchers, at approx. 7:27p.m. the object began making a very gradual descent dropping straight down, until it dipped below the tree line and completely disappeared from view by 7:29p.m. "It's descending! It's descending," I said to no one. By the time the next dispatcher came on the line, the object had dipped below the trees on the horizon. 7:28p.m.-8:14p.m. I remained at the location of the sighting for almost an hour and the object did not reappear. During this time, I spoke with you, NUFORC, and made various calls to the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Airport Unit and the Kalamazoo International Airport, in an attempt to check for any balloons, drones, statotinary objects, etc. tracked on radar in the area. The airport did not immediately return my call and the County Sheriff's Airport Deputy was unaware of any balloons, drones etc. in the area. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and found him to be quite eloquent in his description of the sighting, and serious minded. We have looked at the photos he has made available to NUFORC, and we see nothing at all in the photos that is discernible as a foreign object. If an unusual object is visible in any of the photos, it is little more than a small, and extremely vague, smudge. PD

Alto, MI
UFO Sighting, September 11, 2017, 6am, Alto, Michigan 49302 I awoke and looked out my kitchen window to see a circular object with white and red or orange lights rotating around it. We live near an airport, so at first, I thought it was a plane, but on closer inspection it seemed round and smaller than an airplane. It moved very slowly in one direction and then hovered. It was probably one half mile from me in the still dark morning sky. I was looking towards the west. As it hovered, the lights went around the perimeter of the circular object rotating white/orange. It seemed to also send out some sort of strobe light that sent a whitish illumination out into the sky around it periodically. This lasted for probably five minutes and then it just disappeared, without moving forward or backward. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Orlando, FL
On the night of September 9, 2017, around the evening hours of 8-9, I went to take a photo of an eerie moon peaking and hiding behind clouds. It was a calm breezy evening, basically the calm before the storm. When I took the photo, it was the night before the great hurricane Irma. Central Florida (East Orlando) where the photo took place was forecasted to be hit pretty bad by the hurricane on September 10, 2017, in the am hours into Monday morning September 11, 2017. The photo I took the evening of September 9 showed an eerie moon and a bright light right above the moon in the sky. When I took a picture of the moon with my cell phone camera I noticed the bright light above the moon. Living North of OIA Orlando International Airport, I see actual planes or helicopters all the time and this image did not look like anything I could identify in normalcy. As you zoom into the picture the bright light has almost a mushroom shape on top. Interestingly, the area of Central Florida where I live was supposed to be pummeled by the storm, but fortunately my neighborhood and the adjacent neighborhood had minimal damage. Some downed trees and general debris from wind. It almost seemed that what I saw that evening in the picture (possible UFO), contributed some how to lessened damage within the radius of where the object could be seen in relation to the hurricane. I will attach the image with this statement. I'm a Psychology Graduate, and my husband is an Electrical Engineer.

Long Beach, CA
I was at the soccer field at California State University/Long Beach, when I noticed a small white dot in the sky not moving at all. It looked like it was very high up and did not look like anything I have ever seen before in the sky, as it was very still and was not shiny. It was next to a crescent shaped cloud (within the crest, south east from where I was), which I found interesting because I found video footage online of the same object I saw, sitting in the crest of a cloud that looked just like the one that I had seen, which also occurred in Long Beach. I spotted the object while doing sit-ups, and stared at it for about 45 seconds. I switched positions to do a different exercise and took my eyes off the object for about 5 seconds, when I looked back the object was no where to be seen. And that's when I started to actually digest what I may had just seen. I stopped my workout and scanned the area of sky I originally saw the object, for about 5-10 minutes. I was baffled that it had just disappeared so quickly after I looked away for a brief moment.

Seattle, WA
Looking E,SE into the Seattle sky from Magnolia where I reside, I noticed a large red ball which resembled a planet. I took a photo of it because it seemed odd and out of place as I had never seen this before. This was red in color like Mars, but is was not where Mars would have been in the night sky on September 6th, and it did not move. After I took the photo, around 3.5 – 4 minutes later, I returned and it was gone. Source of report fails to indicate the date of the event, and provides no contact information. PD

They appeared to be traveling in formation at the same rate of speed. I ran into the house to grab my phone and grab a photo or video. I was only gone for 10 to 15 seconds. When I came back out, there where only a couple left but I watched one disappear as I was trying to video. I was able to capture the last one before it disappeared. They did not look like any airplanes or satellites I have seen in the sky in the past.
