Lynchburg, OH
I want to apologize for not remembering the precise date, but I know it was a Wednesday night around 2230 or so as the early local news was over. I had forgotten to take the garbage to the road after dinner so before bed got the vans out by the road. There was no moon and it was a clear night. I was walking back towards the house. Normal night sounds when suddenly there was a glow in my immediate area. Probably about 10 feet across as bright as the full moon. I've had 707s pass directly over head at 3000 ft turn their landing lights on which was similar but there was utterly no engine noise. None. So I spun around and looked up as that seemed to be the direction it came from. This put me looking roughly sse. At about a 45 to 50 degree angle from the horizon there was a really bright light, kinda blipping around. I saw no blinking anti collision lights. No wing position indicator lights. Just a single bright white light that was not painful to look at. It was about the size of a pea held at arm's length. Solid white. Fluttering in a area about palm sized for about a minute. Then it "turned" in place and shot off to the sse at an incredible speed. We are talking one second it was there and within a beat or two it was a dim dot on the horizon. No noise at anytime. No sonic boom (I've heard those) no afterburner kawoosh (heard those too). Nothing. Although a few seconds later I heard a fighter craft coming out of the nnw. Which from my home is the rough heading towards wright pat. It was twin engine and booking it. Not afterburner level but could tell he was not just out for a cruise. He was going the same heading as the unknown. He had a single red anti collision light and I could see the glow of his engines as he passed. Definitely heard the rumble roar of his jets too. So that happened in July of this year. It was a Wednesday. But I forgot to note which Wednesday. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Pueblo, CO
(I have a possible ufo sighting I need to send to you, but gmail isn't allowing me to attach) I apologize in advance for the language in my video... But I've never seen anything like this in my life. My name is Michelle. I live in the Pueblo, CO, area. I captured this tonight… Two separate, glowing orange & red lights in the pikes peak/Cheyenne Mountain area. This area is ALWAYS dark at night.... I have lived here over a year and have not once seen anything like what I saw just now. The orange and red lights went off and on for several minutes before i grabbed my camera. I thought at first it was flares, due to the color. Then i realized it was something else. Possibly two things. But then there was this odd glow behind the two Orange and red lights i was unable to catch on camera. But it seemed as though something was behind the lights. It was so bizarre.... You can even see the helicopters flashing lights next to it within a few minutes. (Basically the time it took me to walk inside to grab a camera) And occasionally you can hear this really weird metallic sound… I have seen and heard a lot of weird things, but never like this…

Donalsonville, GA
July 22, 2019 I have brain cancer and couldn't sleep.I walked out to my back porch that over looks lake Seminole in Donalsonville, Ga. As I was looking at all the stars in the sky I noticed what looked like a larger star , that is until it moved!! I went inside and woke my boyfriend up to come look at it to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. When we both came back outside, the object shot a bright white light that traveled across the sky then exploded right above the tree line over the lake without sound. I was so shocked I pulled out my phone and stared recording the object and caught the object on video. I have coordinates and video to provide. * please excuse my language in the video. I could not believe what I was seeing!!!! Still can not! These are the approximate coordinates taken from our bedroom. We did not go back outside after this video. Still in shock by what we experienced. 246° SW 30°49'25"N 84°52'1"W 80ft elevation

I was standing on the sidewalk near a park and I looked up and saw an extremely bright circular UFO going at incredible speeds towards the tree line and then it took a left 90° turn instantly and vanished about 2 seconds later. It was incredible

I was driving home from baby sitting my cousin and was driving on Main Street just about a mile or 2 outside of town. All of a sudden I saw a bright green glowing light come over and down the mountain on my right (like it was coming from Mt. Ashland). it got low and probably 300 feet over my car and then stopped descending and moved flat towards i5. wind it got to the interstate, it just disappeared.

I saw a light in the sky that I assumed was a satellite or aircraft. After observing the light more closely, I noticed it was flying in a strange zigzag pattern. It looked like a light far into the distance. I only saw one and tried to capture it on video but the video quality was terrible. I ran outside as quickly as I could but it disappeared.

Friday, July 19, 2019 - At 9:50 PM EST, I was in the swimming pool at Post Ballantyne, when I saw a bright object, like a star (but three times bigger) or a satellite (four times bigger), flying north at about 15,000/20,000 feet. I am always fascinated and very interested in flying objects, and I know that this was not a star, not a shooting star, not an airplane, not a drone and not a helicopter. There was no engine sound. A minute later a saw a second one, and then a third one, and a fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. Two minutes later I saw ten more, and ten more and then ten more. Three minutes later I saw twenty more, and twenty more, and twenty more. They were not flying in formation, rather randomly. There were three other people with me in the pool, a man, a woman, and a child. I asked them if they could see what I was seeing and they were totally surprised to see the flying objects. We tried to take photographs with our phones, but they were too smal! l for the cameras. The objects were flying in direction south to north, slightly west (5 degrees) from where we were. They kept coming for the next 20 minutes. Between 10:00 and 10:10 PM was the largest number of objects flying at one time. Always flying at the same altitude, same direction, and same speed. Then they started to decrees (contrary as they had started) until I saw the last one at about 10:20 PM. I am a pilot and a keen observer of the sky, and I do not believe in UFOS, BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING very fascinating that I had never seen before. Quite intriguing and fascinating. I need to investigate this event more and try to find a logical explanation, but if I do not find an explanation I feel I might become a believer in UFOS.

Waiting on pizza and seen a plane with blinking lights, then a solid bright white lite came in from behind plane and flew in a strafing manner around plane. Then after light was gone i counted at least 9 planes flying over my middle of nowhere home within 10 minutes. This is my 2nd sighting of the light. Last time it was in the daytime and their is always a plane around like they are trying to follow the light. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Fast moving bright star-like object (very high up in the sky, just looked like a fast moving star) ; would randomly/non-consistently get a lot brighter and then disappear for around 3-4 seconds, and then reappear for about 2-3 seconds at some other place in the sky. Went from one end of the sky to the other very quickly and with this repeated action. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was unable to put a date in the required spot, I took the picture on July 17, 2019. The reason I'm logging this, on July 25, 2019 at 12:30 in the morning, there was an article on the History Channel of a UFO in Japan that looks similar to what I saw. I am a believer that we are not alone, physical and dimensional beings are possible. I'm sending both images, the one that i took from my sidewalk in front of my house (looking southeast) and an image from the History Channel that played on the 25th of July. I have wanted to turn this in for a while but was reluctant, a friend finally convinced me to contact you.

The evening of July 17, 2019, I was sitting on my patio lounge chairs, facing north. It was warm and the stars were out. At 9:50 pm, the moon had not yet risen, I was watching the stars through my Vortex 10X42 binoculars. I spotted a satellite moving south, just below the constellation of Cygnus. It was faint, approximately 6 magnitude, since I could not see it with my naked eyes. I thought I was holding my binocular unsteady since the satellite was moving erratically. I realized it was the satellite that was erratic since all the stars in the background were steady. Its course was constant, never stopping, but the pinpoint of light was moving about in squiggles, like holding a laser pointer in an unsteady fashion. Sometimes it appeared to do a complete circle. The amplitude of the erratic behavior was about 5% of my binoculars view. I watched it for about three minutes.

Walking home last night from my job in the SOMA district, the moon was big, bright and beautiful. Zipping back and forth past the moonscape appeared what I believe was a helicopter. It seemed to be following this gigantic bright red ball of light. At first sight, I thought it was a planet, like Venus, or even a traffic light. Oddly enough, the ball of light’s starting position was to the west side of the moon and gradually moved to the east side and then back again. Maybe there’s an obvious and logical explanation for this phenomenon, but for the life of me, I could not think of one.

Thought it may have been a satellite but idk had no flashing lights just looked like 1 or possibly 2 bright lights but it could have been sun reflected also but it traveled from SE to NW and went out of site not super fast but fast enough to travel across a quarter of my visible sky but I didn't notice till I was looking at what I think is the big dipper to the SE of here anyway it made no sound like an airplane would after passing so idk maybe they are flying space shuttles or something it may be nothing serious just seen it and asked my kiddo to come verify it didnt have flashing lights or make sounds

I walked outside to take the recycling to our bin and was looking at the moon in the South before catching the light peripherally to my left. At first, I thought it to be the planet that has been in the night sky near the Moon as of late, but then realized it was in a different position than that. I then thought maybe it was a plane as a good number of them fly over this area, but it seemed to be moving slower and there was no low rumble accompanying it. I then concluded it must be a satellite. That made perfect sense until the light slowly began to reduce in size and fade. I took a few steps to my left to see around a tree branch, but it evanesced just after I caught sight of it again. Perhaps it was just a meteor in the atmosphere? Or ball lightning at a high altitude? Seemed a bit lax in speed for those as well though.

La Verkin, UT
We were sitting around the campfire in Zion National Park, we saw a star-shaped white light much brighter than any star or satalite ive ever seen. The light was knear the horizon and was moving at a fast pace towards the horizon (straight down). It seemed almost like a shooting star but had no tail and stayed a constant brightness. Before the light reached the horizon it suddenly went out and 3 small orange lights dropped from where the light was. The three orange lights seemed to go out just before reaching the horizon. There was no sound. Initial light seemed to be moving at the pace of a shooting star or a falling object.

I was at a camp fire and I saw a circular light that was a light orang color with one small white light in the bottom of it, it was being closely followed by another aircraft that I believe was a sort of small jet aircraft I pointed it out to my friend who was beside me at the time I pointed it out it went behind a pine tree then came back into sight with the the other aircraft still behind we saw it for a few more seconds then we lost sight of it behind more trees.

My friend and I saw what looked like a star shoot down then make a quick turn to the right and shoot back into the sky. So basically it made a backwards J shape.

We just witnessed a blue light above the peak of the house. Said light then began to fly East stop then West multiple times until disappearing into a very active lighting storm. Waited for movement and nothing from the storm but over head a bright white light flew directly vertical of the cloud the cloud grew to about 3 times the size and disappeared.

I was going to the store and looked up in the sky before getting in my car to see a single light, no blinking lights like on planes or helicopters, zoom past me overhead. I got in my car and followed it on my way to the store. Had no sense of scale for how big or fast the object was moving. It made zero sound, I tried hard to listen for helicopter blades but there were none, nor was there any sound from engines or turbulence. The object made a quick bank to the right almost completely horizontally, and then back to the left before altering it's original course. Why would a plane or helicopter change course and have no blinking lights and make no sound? If I were a pilot i would go straight to my destination, not bank to the right, then the left, then alter my course, it makes no sense.
