Baltimore, MD
Was driving on highway through Baltimore and a huge black chevron-like aircraft (the wings went against each other in about a 60 or 70 degree angle and were shaped like rectangles with one side slightly slanted). Moving incredibly low and slow with a small bright green light on each wing. I saw it come from the west (above the trees over the highway, and slowly make its way past the threes to the east. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Never thought I'd see anything like this in my lifetime. It was probably a hundred feet above the treetops. And enormous. I couldn't hear any sound being emitted from the UFO.

San Francisco, CA
We (2 adults and a toddler) saw a sparkle shimmering in the sky from our balcony at home. At first glance it appeared like a very high airplane shimmering in the sun but it stayed still. Though still, it did move very very slowly from the west to the east. It stayed there hovering or slow moving at least 15 minutes. It would shimmer, flash light and then disappear, then re-appear within seconds. I went to get a camera with a 500 ml zoom lens and took some photos. After downloading to my computer, I zoomed in further. The object is boomerang shaped and it rotates around. Sometimes in had red, orange and yellow colors, other times it had green and yellow. Possibly this is from the rainbow spectrum of light bouncing off of it. Otherwise it looks metallic, silver. The sky was clear blue, no clouds. There was no sound. We saw an airplane pass by during this sighting and it made a typical noise, but otherwise the object did not have any sound. This was on Wed July 5th, 2017, at about 5:30 pm.

Olney, IL
An adult male telephoned the NUFORC UFO Hotline at 0907 hrs. (PDT) on Saturday, June 24, 2017, to report an alleged sighting that he and his wife had experienced the prior night, while returning to their home from a restaurant. The witness recounted that his wife, who was a passenger, suddenly became alarmed, and pointed to an object in the night sky. The husband looked up and allegedly witnessed a "boomerang" shaped object, which appeared to be hovering motionless in the nighttime sky. The witness reported that the object appeared to him to be giving off either steam, or perhaps smoke. The husband described himself as a former law enforcement officer, with several decades of experience.

Welton, AZ
While merging back on the westbound I-8 from the Ligurta Truck Parking area, just west of Welton, AZ, between 9:30 and 10:00pm, Thursday, 6/8/17, I noticed a V-shaped cluster of yellow lights in the southern sky toward Mexico. After a few seconds, they disappeared all at once with a slight decay. It looked like someone had turned off distant, but powerful, lights, and it took a second for the filament to fully dim. Could also have been them disappearing behind distant clouds. It was confusing and I thought maybe I had witnessed some sort of reflection onto my drivers side car window that went away as I drove. I continuously looked into the southern sky, but never saw it again. About 20 minutes later, between Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA, I noticed a pilot in a small propeller aircraft doing aggressive maneuvers in the night sky, intermittently turning on and off 2 lights on the ends of each wing of his plane. Perhaps he was doing night time crop dusting. I also later heard there was fire in the area so could have been dropping flame retardant as well. As this is an agricultural area, I assumed I has seen lights on the wings of crop dusting plane or planes. But now not so sure after reading the other reports from further north at the same time.

Weare, NH
Over the course of the night they formed strategic patterns, they seemed to all be eliminating light bursts to disrupt of communicate with each other, it was lighting the ground they were so intense, it was an all out invasion, I have never seen them in such groups before. My neck hurts from looking up for 5 hrs.

Canmore (Canada), AB · Canada
I was hiking down on a trail above the powerline trail near grassi lakes in Canmore. I looked up above the trees toward the Three Sisters Mountains, so in between Three Sisters and Mt. Haling, and saw a triangular chevron shaped craft flying/gliding perfectly straight towards the east end of Grotto Mountain above Canmore, between 10,000 and 20,000 feet in the air. It was moving at least 3 times faster than any commercial jets I saw, but there was no sound. It disappeared behind the trees again and then I ran to an opening at the end of the trail, which took maybe 20 seconds, and it was no longer visible. It was solid black no visible lights or markings. I tried to take 2 pictures with my phone but it didn't show up it was either behind the trees or the background was to bright and it couldn't pick it up. Either way there is nothing visible in the pictures.

Waxahachie, TX
On Saturday, May 6, 2017, at approximately 9:15-9:20 p.m. central time, in Waxahachie, Texas, (Latitude 32.4098 longitude -96.8454), I noticed a glider-shaped object flying approximately 50 feet over my head. Its wingspan fully covered the two-car driveway I was walking on, and then some. I was walking directly north towards my house after checking on my kids who were attending a birthday party at another home in my complex. I noticed something just above my line of vision. At first I thought it was a cloud forming, as it had the consistency of a fine, mist type cloud. As it continued to move forward, I realized that the object had a solid outline with a consistent shape. At that point, I thought perhaps it was a hang glider, but considering that this was in Texas, where there are no large hills, that made no sense at all. Then, I thought it might have been a flock of birds, but the object had a solid form and a consistency of shape as it flew by. It continued to fly or glide at a consistent rate and a direct line path, until I could no longer see it. The object was completely silent. There were no lights. The object almost blended into the starry background of the sky. It had a somewhat mottled color of white and possibly dark, navy blue, grey or black. The event lasted approximately 30 seconds before the image either evaporated, disappeared, or merely faded into the skyline, where the lights of the city were glowing over the homes across the street. It was a beautiful clear night with no clouds. I was taking photographs of the moon earlier in the evening. The object was flying very low and appeared to be only about 30 feet above the roof line of the homes it was flying over. The object was not moving very fast. If I had started running very quickly I might have been able to keep up with it. I did not witness any entities, missing time, and I had not consumed any alcohol or drugs, I was completely alone. The only physical experience I had was feeling sick to my stomach, approximately 30 minutes later, that lasted about 20 minutes. At first my logical brain was trying to determine what I was looking at. I was in shock and awe. By the time my brain registered that this was possibly an UFO I had a split-second thought to grab my cell phone and record it, but by then it was gone. I was not in fear of the object at the time, because I was trying to determine what it was and the possibility of it being a UFO was the farthest thing from my mind, until it vanished.

Woods Hole, MA
A colleague and myself were sitting on a dock, off of Water St near the Oceanographic institute, facing Nonamesset Island, when my colleague directed my attention to the evening sky. We observed an array of rectangular lights (6-8 lights), producing dim but discernable light with a slightly yellowed tone, arranged in a wedge or flying-V formation. The formation of lights, no more than 200ft off the ground, silently passed overhead moving Northeast. Importantly, the lights seemed to deliberately dip and bob without breaking formation, suggesting they are indeed units comprising a larger array. The formation moved over Water St until it was visible over the Rowe Laboratory. Interestingly, while moving, the lights adjacent to the trailing terminal lights on either end of the “V” gracefully switched positions. The formation stopped after this and faded out of sight. It is worth mentioning that our line of sight with the formation was never interrupted, and we did not observe it flying away: we observed it until it simply faded from view above the Rowe Laboratory. We, the two observers, are developmental biologists who traveled to Woods Hole to attend a regional conference.

Dumaguete (Philippines) · Philippines
I'm an American living in the Philippines. On the night of April 26, 2017, I was outside reclining in a lawn chair after 9pm-star gazing and relaxing with my eyes shut at time... About 9:30pm, I opened my eyes, looking straight up into the sky and saw a very, very faint V-shaped object silently passing over me. It wasn't very high at all, maybe 1000-2000' up. I muttered something to myself in surprise as it continued in a generally northern direction. Size? It was at least as big as a passenger jet. Why there'd be a UFO so low over the island of Negros Oriental is hard to guess, but there was definitely something up there! It was so faint that if I hadn't been looking right at it when I opened my eyes I wouldn't have seen it. I doubt if anyone else saw it because it was so faint. No noise and no lights on it. Quite a thing to see..

Luke Air Force Base, AZ
Seen the object frying from the direction of the white tanks toward Phoenix. The object was a chevron style object; it had a bunch of lights up in the front area, and strobe lights around the object. There was no noise coming from the object. It was flying by itself at approximately 100 mph. Since it was around 3 am it was black with a bunch of lights in the front of the object. It flew right over Luke Air Force Base.

Jenner, CA
saw object out bdrm window. Went outside to look. It took up approx. 1/8 of sky. Had white lights all around periphery similar to Xmas lites on houses. All were "running " lites. moving around perimeter. Was stationary for an hour or more. At one point pinkish steam or smoke arose from upper left corner. Realized this was large, really large. Kind of the shape of Nevada. Very startling. Close to pacific coastline. Observed from point next to beach. In S to SW sky.

Colorado (southeast part), CO
From around 34,000 feet, I noticed in a completely clear sky a chevron shaped object. It was dark grey. There were no clouds anywhere, and no other objects in the sky. We began our descent into Denver. I estimate when I noticed it it was around 30,000 feet. I believe it was moving the same direction we were only slightly slower. It appeared as a V. As we descended, it flatted out in my perception and was completely flat and extremely thin. I witnessed a fast moving plane come in to my sight. It seemed to have a wider jet trail that was angled more like a "V," instead of a "=" stream. The plane came in fast. I couldn't make out what type of jet it was but it flew towards the object and made a quick turn around. I could tell because of it's jet stream it was going towards the craft and then parallel with the craft. It was above and to the side of the V shaped object. It remained over the object until it was out of my vision. On Southwest flight. This was probably somewhere in that New Mexico/North Texas/Southest Colorado area. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Seemed more of a darker gray, more black. That's why it stuck out. On the smaller her I couldn't tell. It was fast and made what looked like a a power slide maneuver when it got over top. Once over top it seemed to do more of a hover/drift rather than fly. So I don't think it was a commercial type jet. I don't think those hover planes can do that maneuver that high in the air, but that's what it looked like. Yes, it looked like it "wing manned" it or was guiding it away. I'm not on crew. I asked one pilot, "What the hell was that, and he just looked at me and said, "I didn't see anything." ((END ADDENDUM))

Kansas City, MO
I was playing tag at my school Academie Lafayette, when suddenly I heard screams and my friend said look up! I looked up and saw the UFO. It scared me too death. It was falling, very fast. It got closer and closer to the ground until it froze in mid air and I blinked. When I opened my eyes it wasn't there. This all happened within 15 seconds. At its highest, it looked about the size of the sun. Like it could block my view of it. When it was falling it was massive. I got pretty damn close to us. I thought it was gonna squish us. It was jet black. I think it was on fire. It smelled like burning plastic, and there was a gigantic trail of blue fire behind it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. Witness is a student. We contacted the school, but an administrator there stated that she was not aware of any such sighting. PD

Athens, WV
It swooped down from the fog and did a loop and swooped back up into clouds/fog, it had no lights only a dark circle under its belly, the reason why I got a glimpse of it is because when it swooped down the glow of the city lights reflected off its belly, the size of this thing was about the size of a small aircraft and it was about 1200ft in the air and about 4mi away from my location over the hills, like I said I only saw what it did very briefly and never saw it again. It might have been a military test drone, I've heard that the WV air force base in Charleston sometimes test aircraft over the area.

Gemmrigheim (Germany) · Germany
I turned around and saw a larger than commercial aircraft, v-shaped with bright white lights forming the V. It sat low enough and close enough to not be a plane. It hovered for about 30 seconds and then abruptky disappeared, nowhere to be seen in the sky for the next ten minutes I watched.

Park County, CO
While sitting in hot tub on a partly cloudy with waning gibbous moon I noticed a very large chevron-shaped object moving northwest to southeast overhead. The object had no lights and mostly could only see its moon shadow on the clouds as it passed between the moon and clouds overhead – occasionally could see glimpses of the object between the clouds. The speed of the object was very similar to the speed of the ISS as it passes overhead. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Philadelphia, PA
The object stopped its ascension and took an eastern line of flight. Stopping after approximately 5 seconds of steady travel, the object made a 180° turn at which time it revealed having three bright white lights and one bright green light. After the 180° turn, the object rocketed in a straight line path back to its original position above the western sky and then descended back below the horizon. I stayed on the telephone with my fiancé for the entire duration of the sighting, and afterword made a phone call to the above listed hotline number.

West Union, IA
Myself my wife and a friend stepped outside. While out in front of the house no more than a few minutes later we noticed 8 orange glowing boomerang chevron shapes moving across the sky traveling south to north. Weird part was they were flying in a birds V pattern and then switched position so that 6 were in a line with 2 side by side in front.they were moving at a decent rate of speed. Moments later we stepped out again and had just caught 4 more in a straight line traveling west to east.

RESUBMISSION due to error in video URL in 1st submission. Sitting at traffic light tonight at intersection of Huntington and State Street in New London, CT. This is the State of CT Superior Court House. Heading North toward Hodges Square. Drove down two lights to intersection of Huntington & Federal St. See a very bright V-shaped object over my head. Get glimpse, seems to have three bright white lights on one leg of the V and four bright lights on opposite leg of the V. Dashcam video caught what I saw, just not in great detail. https://vid.me/BySl
