It looked like a long sliver cigar shaped cylinder flying through the air slow with the sun shining off of it, I'm still confused..

Vacaville, CA
While driving my son noticed a black cigar shaped object above/over over the moon - i pulled over and we watched it move slowly from top of moon to left side - it was very difficult to see but the moon reflection highlighted it enough to make out a cigar shaped object - we both took pictures with our cell phones but the object did not appear as black but instead came out as a bright object off to the left side of moon - it just disappeared after approximately two minutes of viewing - was an amazing sight to see. Pictures sent to website below from my phone.

Morrilton, AR
Three of us were traveling home from a weeklong trip to Florida. We were passing through Arkansas (heading home) and contemplated staying at a hotel in Morrilton, Arkansas, because we were extremely tired from already having driven over 10 hours. At approximately 12:45am, As we pulled into a hotel right off the Interstate I-40, we looked up in front of our car to notice a strange floating object in the sky. It sounded like a faint helicopter. But, to our surprise it was not a helicopter. It was about 40 feet long in length and appeared to be aluminum colored and cigar-shaped… with the front part being a rounded point and the back part being flat. This object did not have any wings or propellers. Not sure how it was a gradually going by us at a slow speed in the sky. It was barely higher than the hotels around us, probably around seven stories high. We were quite exhausted but continued to watch it for a minute or two. This cigar shaped object was traveling northwest to northeast. We never noticed it, but all of a sudden it appeared right in front of us. We were observing through the front windshield of my vehicle. The exterior, again, was a silver aluminum look. It had a revolving spotlight towards the front and some sort of red box underneath the front of the object. The object crossed over Interstate 40 a few blocks down, then floating (almost like a blimp) in the sky in the same spot while doing a complete 360° turn in place. This activity happened right behind the Hampton Inn hotel. After having already been in our vehicle (on a very long road trip), we were too tired to think about taking a picture or video. We first just assumed it was helicopters… then, we were trying to figure out what it was when we saw it so closely go over us. After that encounter, we pulled back onto the interstate and drove to the next city to rent a hotel room, instead of staying near that strange encounter in Morrilton. When we returned to our hometown, about two hours northeast of that location, we discovered that my son‘s best friend had seen the same occurrence in our area the same same night. We were unaware that they were UFOs that were not sphere shaped or “flying saucers”. We had no idea that other sightings have been reported of the cigar shaped flying object.

Elmira, NY
Saw the same UFO again, this time 2 weeks apart, roughly. It was located in the same location above neighborhoods in downtown Elmira. It had been silent and in the air for over 40 minutes. Tic-Tac, cigar-shaped. Several lights I could make out, mostly red. The craft appeared to be stationary for the duration of the 40 minutes until it disappeared out of my line of sight. No propulsion, completely silent. The most bizarre was seeing it in the same location as last time I witnessed it a few weeks prior. Definitely not a helicopter or a plane, especially having seen so many in the Big Flats Airport region. I don't believe it was a drone, also due to the fact that in the last five to ten minutes, it seemed like it was moving side-to-side. Wingless,no propulsion and silent from what I gathered. Second time I've seen it over the Elmira neighborhoods in July. The most striking was the changing of lights, almost like a star, but it wasn't high enough to be considere! d one. Interesting nonetheless.

El Centro (east of), CA
I was onboard a commercial flight from San Diego to Newark on July 7, 2021. We flew east from San Diego along the US/Mexico border. I was on the left side of the plane so I could see the US side of the border. I knew from monitoring FlightRadar24 that there was an area east of El Centro, CA., where I typically notice military aircraft flying. So as we were nearing that area, I was looking out the window wondering if I would see any military aircraft. At about 12:45, I saw a strange silvery-white object hovering over the ground below and to the left of our flight path. If I had to guess, it appeared to be about 2500 feet AGL and we were at about 20000 feet AGL at that time. The object appeared to be stationary. I remember thinking that it exhibited the flight characteristics of a tethered balloon. I snapped a photo of the object. I blew the photo up and it almost looks like a short, fat blimp with a weird protrusion on the right rear side. I am thi! nking that this may be some sort of military craft or drone, but I have no idea. I assumed that it was stationary since we were moving quite fast and I lost sight of the object as we passed and my view became obstructed by the wing of our aircraft. I will submit the photo and the blown up version to you via email.

Muskegon, MI
On June 16, 2021 I was driving East on Sternberg Rd. The sky was clear blue with about three or four high altitude chem trails. I stopped at a light and immediately saw an intense white light blinking on and off about 5000 feet in the air. There were no colors just an intense white light. This lasted for about two minutes. I turned and went to Olive Garden. About twenty minutes later while seated outside waiting for a table, a large silver cigar shaped object came from my right flying fairly fast above the treeline. It was completely silver with no markings, no windows, no wings and absolutely no sound. It was approximately 1,000 feet in the air with a length of 500 feet and about 50 feet thick. It had a vertical line in the middle and was flying horizontally. It then in a split second, went about ten miles to the other side of the county and disappeared from view. It stayed at the same altitude the whole time and the event lasted less than 5 seconds.

A loud vroom sound is heard. I see in the sky an aircraft with two large engines on either side but no wings on side or on back. I hear this sound only in the mornings. Not first aircraft spotted with this form and sound. Others seen are always traveling from south to north.

Albuquerque, NM
I was in my grow room approximately 11:15 or so. I was trimming my plants and watering them.I looked over to the left of the grow tent, in my grow room, and noticed a small tic-tac or cigar shaped UFO or Alien Drone. It was more like a Tic-Tac than a cigar. Me being as curious as I am went to reach out to touch the gray and white UFO. IT WAS LIGHT GRAY ON THE TOP AND BLENDED IN THE MIDDLE,INTO A WHITE COLOR ON THE BOTTOM. I REACHED OUT TO TOUCH IT AND I GRABBED IT.THE UFO DRONE UNDULADED like a SLOW Snake when I grabbed it. When I touched and grabbed the Tic-Tac shaped Drone/UFO undulated forward and as it undulated forward MY HAND RELEASED IT WITHOUT A FIGHT OR STRUGGLE. AS IT MOVED FORWARD IT WAS LIKE IT DISAPPEARED INTO A BOX. I OPENED ALL THE BOXWS AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE FOUND. IT JUST DISAPPEARED INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION. THE MATERIAL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CRAFT FELT LIKE A THICK SKIN OBJECT. I WANT TO SAY IT FELT RUBBERY, BUT, AT THE SAME TIME IT ! WAS DIFFERENT LIKE NOTHING I HAD EVER FELT BEFORE.

Clearwater, FL
Went outside at 5:20 am and to the west saw a bright white, cigar shaped light moving horizontally from south to north. Had a white haze around it (it actually hurt my eyes for a few seconds looking at it) and short, bright light trail behind it. It was pretty large in size and moved extremely fast. I ran around the side of the house to get a better look, but it disappeared behind the trees. I checked the meteor shower calendar and ISS track, but neither report it coincided with my location.

Central Point, OR
I saw this object flying mid-sky after entering the northbound I-5 freeway. I thought it was a plane at first as the Medford airport is about a mile away from where I was driving. The object was about the size of passenger jet and was traveling slowly from east to west approximately 500 to 700 feet above the surrounding hills about a mile and a half in front of me. The object was white and cylinder shaped with what appeared to be a dark line separating a third of the object from the rest. As it moved, I looked for wings,as I thought at first it was a jet plane that had just taken off from the airport. As I was watching, the object slowly pivoted. It did not turn, but pivoted towards the north and then faded from sight. It did not shoot off or suddenly disappear, but faded away within about 2 or 3 seconds after it pivoted. The whole event lasted about 40 seconds to a minute.

Independence, OR
My passenger and I were driving to Independence, and were in the straight stretch of road right before the base of the bridge, about a mile prior. From this distance you can see through the tree that flank the river. I commented to my passenger that there was something between the trees "glimmering", assumed out loud it was a plane then joked "it must be a ufo!" Passenger looked and kind of gasped at the same time I realized it could not be a plane at the low of level unless crashing - it was cylinder shaped and silver, almost like a small blimp shape, 'milky' or brushed silver looking metal (not like a stainless steel look) and the sun was making it 'glisten'. We could see it between the trees, and only caught sight of it for a few seconds before we started up the bridge and thicker trees blocked our view. One we cleared the trees on the bridge where we could see I slowed to a near stop and looked, and there was nothing there - we looke! d on both sides and it was too large to fit under the bridge and not stick out. We kept watching as we descended the bridge, and then as we turned onto another country road where we could see the skyline, sky and area, and saw nothing, and no planes were in the air that we might have mistaken it with - the sky was entirely void of aircraft.

Corvallis, OR
Over the small field next to home depot parking lot in Corvallis, Oregon for about 20-30 seconds my adult daughter and I witnessed a cigar shaped object that was very pale in color, a very light white or silver, with pulsing white and blue lights... It seemed to be flying very slowly, with a couple of brief stops where it just sort of hovered there blinking. It was pretty low, low enough that we could both tell that it was not an airplane or a helicopter. I turned in the car to tell my daughter to get my phone out of my purse so I could record it but when we looked back mere seconds later it was completely gone....nowhere to be seen.

Large dull white cigar or disc hovered, gradually glided east where it vanished as if the night sky absorbed it, it made no sound

Lackluster sighting in comparison to other sightings, but , I was camping with my girlfriend when we noticed what we initially thought was a comet/meteor. As it got closer, it started to look more like a jumbo jet with no wings/tail/lights or sound. Can't seem to find anything online about it,

North Kingstown, RI
While standing in the parking lot at Smith’s Castle, a large cigar shaped craft appeared in the sky above us. The whole craft emitted a white glow and moved very slowly overhead. The sky was mostly clear with an occasional cloud passing by. After about 60 seconds or less of observing the object it seemed to have just “blinked” out and disappeared. I tried to film the sighting but it did not pick up on my iPhone (which I found strange because it was fairly bright and close).

Clay, NY
Shortly after midnight in Clay, NY (just south of Phoenix, NY), only a few minutes after the start of Sunday May 16, 2021, and about 5-10 minutes before the crescent moon set, I looked out an upstairs window to the north into a cloudless night sky to see the stars. I saw the usual stars and planets and also an unusual light moving to the south. The light was cigar shaped (rectangular) similar to a dull fluorescent bulb with a light blue tint. Its length was about the same as the diameter of a full moon, in the east-west direction, and its brightness was about ¼ of that of the moon. After about a minute, I proceeded to wake my wife to show her the object. Although difficult for me to determine, the elevation of the object appeared to be where most airplanes fly going to the Syracuse, NY airport (say 4,000 ft. +/-) and at a distance of several miles to the north over Oswego County. The light was moving to the south-southeast at what appeared to be the typical speed of an airplane. After 3 or 4 minutes heading south, it started moving to the east for about a minute, with the light remaining in the same east-west orientation while fading from view, possibly because it moved far enough east to no longer reflect the moonlight back to us. We didn’t see any spotlights or blinking lights on the object like what would be seen on an airplane or one of the military drones that often fly out of the Syracuse airport. We didn’t hear any noise from the object through the closed window nor after we opened the window as the object faded from view. I’m a retired 64 year old civil engineer and my wife is a 63 year old registered nurse, and we have never seen a flying light/object like this before. We have lived in this same house for a little over 38 years.

Sisters, OR
Two Dads (40+ year olds) and 2 sons (11 year olds), camping 10 miles south of Sisters, Oregon. Around 10:36pm (22:36). my son spotted the very long, illuminated craft ("Um guys, WHAT IS THAT!?"), in the northern sky, heading west to east. From our location, it was maybe 30 degrees up from the horizon. We left the campfire and quickly got our phones out to record it; the pics are poor unfortunately. It was moving slowly, and wasn't bright. Knowing that it wasn't an airplane, I flashed it a few times with a green laser, just in case it might react. It did not. I believe the craft was moving at a very high altitude. It reminded me of the SpaceX rocket re-entry, but wasn't breaking apart. I'm very familiar with stargazing, and we had just watched the ISS fly by (which had a -4.0 brightness = very bright!) and we had also watched starlink satellites fly over as well. It was very exciting!

Bonners Ferry, ID
May 15, 2021 at approximately 2235: Standing on my porch looking north, northwest (in direction of Boundary County, Idaho airport) when I saw something not a star but thought maybe a comet but even that was not correct. It appeared almost vertical (not quite vertical – slanted) above the horizon but then while I was looking for a camera it was almost directly in front of me moving slowly from west to east. I tried to take pictures (should have went for my binoculars) but the flash went off and I couldn’t get the camera to focus. At 2238 (confirmed on my phone), I phone-called a colleague who lives close by (a retired fighter pilot) to look and confirm that it was not the “string-of-pearls” Starlink we’d both seen before. He saw it as well and agreed it was not the Starlink we’d previously seen and also did not know what it was. To me, from my vantage point, it was a series of white lights – steady, not flashing– as if a bus or subway car with windows and lights shining through. I could not tell if it was a solid object, but from the lights it appeared to be the classic “cigar” shaped UFO, though it could have had more depth. But again, from my vantage point, I could not determine if and how much depth it may have had. I thought it was low in the sky, maybe 5K feet high at most, and I lost it in the trees as it traveled west towards the Montana border. It did not make a sound
