I was traveling southbound on I-435, near mile marker 57.2. I saw a moving object super far out above the tree line while I was operating my car, I could tell it's far out because the amount of haze around the object. Trapezoid shaped, no lights at all (not even blinking). It was moving fast from left to right. Than vanished behind the tree line. I couldn't make out much . It was a greyish brown (?) metallic color, it was before sunset around 6ish. But it was moving extremely fast but too large to be any type of plane.

Vilano Beach, FL
On our way to dinner in Vilano Beach, while driving over the Vilano bridge we notice an extremely large, white, rectangular object hover over the Atlantic Ocean. We first thought it could be a cargo ship, then debated if it was a cruise ship, but concluded that the object was far too large. Upon debating what it was, the object mysteriously disappeared into thin air. The three of us who saw it were in complete disbelief at what we witnessed. It was truly remarkable. After the debate we contemplated diffraction due to the horizon over the ocean and the warm temperatures... but concluded this was nothing like we have ever seen as we have all lived on the east coast our entire lives and have never witnessed something like this.

I heard a strange noise outside my house and quietly stepped outside as to not scare off whatever was making this faint coughing noise. I stood there for about two minutes silently observing and waiting for any movement. I immediately noticed a dark cube shaped maybe rectangular object overhead moving south at steady pace. After about 4 maybe 5 seconds I could no longer see the object. It did not make any noise. I have not seen anything like this before. I did not observe any lights on the object which appeared to be dark in color and was not easily seen in the night sky.

Driving into Timpanogas Trailer Park, and all of the sudden I saw 4 main white focal points creating a Rectangle pirimeter around dark space. Then all the sudden I saw a doorish shape "materialize" out of redish Amber little dots in the middle of the dark space. Then it went out of view.

Fort Lauderdale, FL
A huge rectangle like ship was in the clouds hovering over downtown Fort Lauderdale with heat waves surrounding it. There were torch flames coming out of each corner on the bottom, I looked away for a second and when I looked back it split in the middle into two crafts one heading West and the other North East towards the beach. The crafts both dissipated in the sky moving very slowly. 2 mins later a fire ball was just floating across the street in the neighbors backyard... I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

South Reading, VT
The craft was seen in clear blue skies, traveling out of the north west towards the south east at approximately 7000 ft. As it approached my position it looked to be a flashing diamond, and then a square, as the craft passed overhead it was clearly a rectangular shape. It looked like a flying refrigerator! The color changed from a glowing white, metallic, to a flat black. The black seemed to be almost void of color. The black color flowed across the surface at 45 deg angles to the right angles of the outside edges, so that there were moving triangles of black and glowing white... at times the entire side would be either black or metallic glow white. The craft traveled in a straight line, however slowed down, seemed to stop, and then speed up. Therefore, the speed did not seem to be constant. A commerical jetliner was witnessed at the same time traveling from the northeast to the southwest, perhaps at 20k leaving a contrail, and the sound of the jet could be heard. The jet traveled perpendicular to the unknown craft. The unknown craft made no sound at all and left no contrail. The craft dissapeared beyond my field of view at a high rate of speed after having have slowed down.

Upper Makefield (Above Delaware River), PA
Upon observing the sky as I often do, spotting commercial aircraft, I saw a stationary angular white object rotate erratically for about twenty minutes before disappearing suddenly. It was at an altitude of about 1,500ft. Over the Del river in Upper Makefield.

New Truxton, MO
I woke up at 5:35am and went to wake my daughter up for school, at approximately 5:40am I hear an extremely loud aircraft sound outside my house, quickly approaching and getting increasingly louder. The best way I can describe it is as an electronic/aircraft noise. I ran to the window and spotted a rectangular shape UFO with 4 points of light. 1 green and 1 red on each end. This craft was huge and just above the tree tops of my house, and SUPER fast. In an instant as quickly as it came it was gone, noise and all.

Last Chance, CO
While watching the Viaero Sky weather camera I witnessed multiple moving lights. They were all traveling at different speeds but were all trackable until leaving the camera view. I took multiple screenshots that revealed there were also crafts that did not have lights as well as a craft that had what appeared to be a docking station of sorts.

Unfortunately we waited too long to report this that we are unsure of the date and time but it was approximately in February of 2020. We were traveling eastbound on the 101 and were on the exit ramp from the 101 onto northbound I-17. I was traveling with my spouse and I saw a single, large black or dark gray, tiered, rectangular object hovering over the area. The area it appeared to hover over was both residential and commercial. I thought to myself is that a balloon? But it clearly was not. The size was hard to judge as I was navigating through the narrow, concrete wall bordered exit ramp. If I had to guess, I’d say about 200’ to one city block. The one thing I remember was that it looked industrial. Almost like floors of a factory with metal railings. Once I quickly realized it was something I couldn’t explain, I asked my wife to look and see if she sees it. She did see it. I asked her what she saw and she described it as a “black object, multi tiered, just floating there.” She agrees with my potential size estimation. From where we were, we could only see it we curved around on the ramp and then we lost site of it as we proceeded onto I-17. It was not a balloon. It was not a helicopter. It was not a plane, as it was not moving. How long it remained visible in the location, I do not know.

Andres, Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
I was on our house roof looking north. Saw, what I thought, was a helicopter. But it made no sound, and had no lights. The object seemed flat-bottomed and reflected the orange street lights below it - no points of light reflected, just a reflected glow. Due to the brightness of the light reflection I estimated the silent object to be about 800 feet high. I guess it was the size of a small truck. Appeared flat but not round - somewhat angular. I flew straight to the west, where there is an international airport there.

Saw a rectangular shape craft with many lights hovering towards wild rose wi. The car in front of me slowed down I think they saw it too. The craft simply faded away.

Flashing lights that faded then came back. Stayed in place. Seemed to be more than one light, and rectangle. In comparison to other stars looked out of place in the sky.

I would not have noticed the aircraft except that it turned on a powerful search light which lit up the room and I was able to track its progress through the area. It appeared to be about 8 feet thick and about 15 feet in diameter, dark colored, with no shine. It continued North on Weed road until it went out of sight. My first thought was it's a new secret military scout aircraft and this would be a great place for cold weather testing. But, who knows? With the search light off it would be almost impossible to track visually.

Orem, UT
My Wife, Brother-in-law, Sister-in-law and I were driving over to my Mother-in-laws house after seeing a movie together. My wife was driving, I was in the passenger seat, my Brother-in-law was in the driver’s side rear seat and my Sister-in-law was in the passenger side rear seat. We made a right turn from Main St onto 2000 S and had just begun to descend the hill when my Brother-in-law said “What is that?” My wife then said “I don’t know! That is weird.” My Sister-In-Law saw it third but remained quiet. I responded a little dismissively at first and asked, “Are you guys just looking at the moon?” They responded “No! Look!” My wife had slowed the car to almost a complete stop and I looked out of the drivers side windows toward where they were gesturing. A large flat rectangular dull grey craft with lots of lights was moving slowly just over the houses. I was so amazed and alarmed that such a large craft was being operated in such close proximity to homes. At! the time I first saw it it was moving slowly but when my Wife and Brother-In-Law first saw it it was hovering. It had two rows of approximately 6 white lights on the bottom of the craft. It had rows of red and blue lights on the sides and top. Some of the red and blue lights were flashing alternately. The lights were large and seemed to be structured. They seemed disproportionately large and there were so many of them. We detected no sound from the craft. A helicopter in that close of proximity would have been loud. I’m not aware of any drones that are that large but I would assume that a giant drone at that close of distance would have been loud as well. The windows were rolled up during the sighting so we cannot confirm that it had no sound but it definitely didn’t have any conventional flight characteristic sounds that would have been audible at those close proximities with such a large craft. We estimate that the craft was somewhere between 30-40ft long. It moved slowl! y along the row of homes but biased slightly toward the street! we were driving on. It passed through the field of view of the driver’s side windows and into the field of view of the rear window. It had traveled closer to the road as it was heading eastward. It appeared quite large with so many lights. My mind was trying to establish what category of craft it fit into but it didn’t fit into any category that I have witnessed before. It was so flat and rectangular and quiet with so many lights, it seemed so different than anything I was familiar with. We continued to watch it fly slow and low and quietly down the street. My wife started to turn the car around so we could follow it and we watched it disappear Eastward below the row of houses at the top of the hill. It appeared quite large still as it passed the houses at the top of the hill. It passed so low over the top of the houses that it quickly passed below our field of view. I’m a Biomedical Engineer. I investigate technical challenges/issues for a living. This sighting left me with only q! uestions and no answers. All of us are college educated and 1 is currently pursuing their PhD. All of us were left quite perplexed over what we observed last Friday night. We thank you in advance for your time and effort spent investigating this sighting.

Melbourne, FL
I was driving northbound on I-95 around 9:00 am when I noticed an accident in the opposite southbound lane with traffic building up. As my northbound traffic began to slow down for caution, I looked in the northeast sky over Melbourne, FL, and saw a rectangular shaped glowing object in the sky. The object either appear to be emitting an orange glow or was reflecting the rising sun. It appeared to me as a vertical rectangle which was wider at the top than the bottom. The top of the rectangle appeared to have some sort of crests or wings arched out of the rear. I diverted vision from the object to open my phone camera and lost sight of the object and could not relocate.

I was shoveling snow on my balcony, When I seen something in my proifial vision, when I looked up it was about four or five feet away from me levitateing above roof, It was about 7 feet long siliver on both sides with two black not sure how to discribe at each end. Almost like camera shutters. It had no noise at all. I stood there starring at it and the one side kind of folded....I went to the end of the balcony to get a better look and it was gone, or I couldn’t see it.

Driving my 2nd grader to school, he mentions he saw “something” in the sky. He proceeded to explain seeing a rectangular object. He described it as white with some black spots to one side and in the sky “way higher” than a plane. He didn’t see it for long as I turned in a different direction and he lost sight of it.

On January 14th, 2020 I was driving down the highway, heading home for my lunch break to let my dog out for food and a bio break. I noticed a large dark rectangular object in the sky about a mile down the road that appeared to be floating in the sky. It flew slowly, almost like it was floating, over the highway I was driving on. At first, I didn’t think twice about it as it was heading towards our airport. So, I figured it was an airplane, but I still watched it while I was driving and witnessed it fade away, presumably into a cloud from what I could tell. So, I thought the sighting was over, but it wasn’t. The object faded back into view and floated back across the highway heading to where it first appeared. It kept on moving away from the highway and then stopped about a quarter mile away the highway and descended towards the ground in a straight and steady line with no wavering motion. I wish I could have gotten a video instead of the picture from my car! . By the time I got video ready on my phone, it had already descended behind the tree line. I looked around the sky for it as I drove down my residential street, where it looked like it might have descended, but I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. A video would have been so much more telling than the photo I took, but I have a before and after picture that shows the object in the sky and one that shows no sign of the flying object. Clearly it wasn’t a normal object on a pole or tower or something and was definitely not an airplane, and too large to be a toy drone. When I returned to work, about an hour later I went deaf for about 30 seconds with a loud ringing in my ears, I couldn't hear the person talking to me. Not saying the two are related, but certainly not ruling it out either. My background is clean, I don't drink alcohol, I have never used any drugs and was not on any prescription drugs at the time of this sighting. I'm just a normal guy with a normal job try! ing to make a living.

UnexplainedCrozon, Bretagne · France
Le témoin roule tôt le matin sur une petite route de campagne située sur la presqu’île de Crozon. Le temps est mauvais avec de fortes rafales de vent, un plafond nuageux bas et de la pluie. Le témoin observe, partiellement masqués par la cime d’un bosquet de pins situés sur sa gauche, deux rectangles rouges horizontaux, identiques. Après avoir ralenti, il remarque un troisième rectangle rouge identique qui apparaît à gauche des deux autres, avec le même espacement. L’ensemble, qui paraît de dimensions importantes au témoin, se trouve relativement haut dans le ciel et se déplace, en conservant la même apparence, le long de la route, toujours sur la gauche du témoin, et en direction d’un croisement de routes situé un peu plus loin. Puis les trois PAN s’immobilisent au niveau du croisement, face au témoin qui s’arrête à son tour peu avant ce croisement afin de les observer. Se trouvant plus proches, le témoin estime qu’ils occupent les 2/3 de la longueur de son pare-brise, un peu décalés sur sa gauche. Il doit se pencher en avant sur son siège pour les observer en intégralité. Il les décrit comme ressemblant à des feux arrière de camions, rouge vif et lumineux, bien délimités et constitués de petites billes mouvantes à l’intérieur. Ces PAN, malgré les rafales de vent secouant le véhicule du témoin, restent immobiles. Après quelques secondes d’observation, les trois PAN partent vers le sud, face au témoin, en conservant leur apparence et leur disposition tout en diminuant visuellement de taille. Ce départ s’effectue d’abord à une vitesse modérée, par ricochets en baissant de hauteur apparente jusqu’au niveau de l’horizon avant d’accélérer et de disparaître quasi instantanément vers le ciel, sans toutefois interagir avec les nuages. Concernant ce cas d’observation, la consistance est bonne, avec un témoignage très cohérent et bien détaillé. Le phénomène observé a étrangeté élevée. Les éléments recueillis lors de l’enquête distante et sur le terrain ont permis d’envisager plusieurs hypothèses explicatives pour cette observation. Approfondie en comité des experts GEIPAN, l’enquête a permis d’envisager plusieurs hypothèses : - Drone(s) - Hélicoptère(s) - Lumière d’un phare/sémaphore - Lumière de balisage d’éoliennes - Laser ou projecteur de discothèque - Reflet sur le pare-brise d’une lumière interne à l’habitable - Avion - Plaques réfléchissantes ou feux de position ou feux de gabarit d’un camion L’enquête a approfondi les 3 premières hypothèses drone(s), hélicoptère(s) et lumière d’un phare. Les autres hypothèses ont été éliminées en le justifiant. La BAN de Lanvéoc-Poulmic, située à proximité, a été consultée au sujet d’une possible observation aéronautique et nous a indiqué qu’aucun de ses appareils ne se trouvait en manœuvre à ce moment. D’autre part, même si la forme et la couleur des PAN peuvent laisser penser à une forme de signalétique lumineuse (marquage) pour lequel nous n’avons d’ailleurs pas pu trouver d’exemples, tous les autres paramètres sont peu ou pas du tout compatibles avec l’hypothèse drones ou hélicoptères. En effet, la taille angulaire importante des PAN ne permet d’envisager qu’une position relativement proche du témoin qui, surtout pour des hélicoptères, n’aurait pas manqué de percevoir le son émis par leurs moteurs, avec un vent porteur, même dans les conditions défavorables d’observation (dans une voiture moteur allumé, vitres fermées et par temps de pluie et de vent). Il semble par ailleurs difficile d’imaginer que trois de ces engins puissent avoir été observés de manière permanente en conservant les distances respectives les séparant. L’hypothèse de l’observation de trois drones est un peu plus consistante, en ce sens qu’elle permet de les placer un peu plus près du témoin tout en ayant un bruit émis nettement inférieur. Elle implique toutefois que ces drones soient de grande taille pour une distance au témoin restant faible. Par ailleurs, un instructeur drones de la Marine Nationale a été sollicité et nous indique que l’apparence des PAN ne peut être assimilée à une quelconque signalétique lumineuse utilisée par un drone militaire. Enfin, la BAN de Lanvéoc-Poulmic nous a confirmé ne pas avoir effectué d’exercice avec leurs drones le soir de l’observation. Il pourrait s’agir toutefois de drones issus d’une autre base ou utilisés par un particulier ce qui, dans les conditions d’observation, reste néanmoins peu plausible. En ce qui concerne l’hypothèse sémaphore/phare, elle est très peu vraisemblable. Un sémaphore n’a pas vocation à émettre de signaux lumineux et il n’y a pas dans la zone de phare assez puissant susceptible de produire des lumières rectangulaires rouges fixes, permanentes pendant deux minutes, en direction de l’axe d’observation des PAN et se déplaçant avec des « ricochets ». Par ailleurs, un faisceau, par temps de pluie, aurait dû être visible sous les rectangles, ce qui n’a pas été le cas. D’autre part, l’éclairage du phare est plutôt diffus et ne permet en aucun cas de créer trois formes rectangulaires rouges bien délimitées sur la base des nuages. Enfin, le témoin, habitué des lieux, n’aurait pas manqué de reconnaître les lumières d’un phare, y compris dans les conditions météorologiques de l’observation, habituelles pour la région, lumières qu’il aurait également déjà dû observer auparavant dans des conditions météorologiques similaires. Le GEIPAN reste prudent en raison du questionnaire technique rédigé et envoyé 5 mois après l’observation ainsi que l’enquête de terrain et la reconstitution réalisée un an plus tard. D’expérience GEIPAN ces délais peuvent perturber voire modifier les éléments du témoignage. Une reconstitution visuelle de l’observation grâce à un outil de simulation vidéo a été réalisée. Elle sera publiée associée à ce rapport d’enquête. En conclusion, cette enquête a été très riche de contenu et d’hypothèses étudiées. Le GEIPAN a déroulé sa méthodologie d’enquête la plus complète avec dans un premier temps une enquête à distance puis une enquête sur le terrain puis l’analyse du comité des experts GEIPAN. Plusieurs hypothèses ont été étudiées. Le GEIPAN considère qu’aucune ne donne satisfaction en regard du témoignage. Par conséquent, nous publions l’ensemble des éléments portés à notre connaissance par le témoin ainsi que l’ensemble de notre enquête et cette observation est classée « D », phénomène inexpliqué. [GEIPAN classification D — Phénomène étrange à très étrange/ de consistance moyenne à forte]

Craft hovering for several hours per night in this area, for at least a month. Decided to check it out. Got telescope, but as soon as we started to look, it flew away, with a very fast "zig zag" pattern. The craft moved faster than humanly possible.

I went outside at 9 pm to take out trash. Right above me a little to the west I saw a strange orb of lights that seemed to change from orange to whole to red and the lights were hovering. I'm a pilot and look up at planes all the time. My first thought was a drone with some weird lights attached. There was no sound. I stared up at it for about 1 min. Then it started moving. The lights started to fade and now I could see at large black rectangle moving slowly to the east. It was a full moon and scattered clouds, but the sky was a gray color with the full moon. A couple white lights winked on this black rectangle then it went completely black. It was such a dark dark black color. Initially I thought this object was low, maybe 500 ft, but as it glided silently across the sky I saw it went above the the broken clouds. I've never seen anything glide so smoothly. It was the shape of a Hersey bar. It picked move slowly as it glided away completely black but I coul! d clearly see it's shape in the light night sky I watched it until it moved behind clouds. I was really in shock. I thought that's either some very advanced secret aircraft of ours or a UFO. It was amazing. I went inside and told a family member a nd texted a friend. I went on the internet to see if there was any news about this. I even called one of the local news networks to ask them if they had gotten any reports. I also check the weather to see what the cloud layer height was to get an idea of how big this really was. The pilot wether briefing I read said the clouds were scattered at 9500 feet. This object was above them and went through them at times. Based on that altitude Id guess the object was about 100 ft x 50 ft. I'll never forget this sighting. I already believed we are being visited by other planets. Now I can say I know for sure. This had to be a UFO.
