Vermilion, OH
To whom it may concern, On Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 in Vermilion, OH, at approximately 10 PM, I witnessed an unidentified flying object for nearly nearly four to five hours. I first noticed it when I seen a bright glowing object in the sky with orange flares coming off either sides. As I would start walking closer towards it, it would come in closer dimming its light. I knocked on my neighbors door to get a witness, but my knock went unanswered. As I was in the vestibule to the neighbor and out of sight of the UFO, it went higher into the sky. When I returned to the sidewalk, the UFO would come back in on me. It followed my every movement. It was instantaneous movement. If I moved left, it immediately went left on queue with my movement. Same with all movements. When it went to the highest peak above the lake, it would blink orange looking like an inordinate star. Only when it faced directly north. When it was more on the northwestern side, it strobe between blue, yellow, and orange. I finally got my neighbor outside during this time and she also witnessed that when someone was around me that it would go into the distance. I had her stay close to the building in the vestibule, so I could prove to her that it would come back if I were alone. The amount of time that it took to come back so close from the distance it was at discounts a drone theory. When it came in, it would hove r at least 200-300 yards in the sky just above the development across the street. Earlier that day, my fiancée and I had done chalking on the sidewalk in huge letters that says, “STAY SAFE OHIO, WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER.” I finally finished around 8:30-9:00pm on the chalking. Within the hour is when I noticed what I’m explaining. I do have video. Other people in the neighborhood have also seen this within the last couple of weeks. A neighbor across the street a couple of weeks ago was so scared that she took her dog back inside immediately when they just started their walk because the dog got really freaked out. It was at the point that I went to get that neighbor to witness this as well that the UFO left. This was around 3:00am on Monday, May 4th, 2020. Like I said, I did get 2 videos. The shape is hard to describe. When it got close, it looked like a metallic, circular bottom with a cylinder top. When it was close, only one dim light that looked like a dim UV light would appear. In the distance is when the lights would strobe again. The main consistent color was orange.

My husband and I were driving off Powers and saw 10 spheres flying together and then quickly breaking up the group into about 3 spheres. The total amount was about 10. Every time the spheres circled there would be a shiny reflection like silver so I know it wasn’t a flock of birds. Lasted about 15 minutes until they disappeared quickly heading East.

Looked towards the west to see the bright stars and saw movement going south west by stars. Orangeish color about altitude of jet liners. Then saw another following. At equal distance there were al least five more in a single file. Holding my arm out, they were a hand spread apart from each other. Went to my room to get my phone to try to video it. Did not come out well. Path from Tulare to Bakersfield.

Santa Cruz, CA
I was laying flat on the ground looking up. I was on Coral Street in Santa Cruz.Three rockets, all brown in color, with the shape of the new SpaceX rockets, flew from North to South across the sky in a period of two minutes. They were very clear but and seemed to be low to the ground but I heard no noise. They all left vapor trails that disappeared after twenty seconds. They all appeared the same but the color was very brown. It was strange because three came in a row, one right after the other and I've never seen a real rockets in the sky before. It was extremely odd. I've never seen these kind of rockets on tv or heard reports of rockets launching from Mountain View, Santa Clara before. I think that one rocket may have split the earth into three dimensions by launching them and that's maybe what I witnessed. I think we might be splitting the earth into multiple dimensions by traveling in height above the surface. Do we really know all the effects we are c! ausing in time and space with the act of traveling to space? I reported I saw an airplane fly into space and another thing I want to say is that I hear strange noises all the time above Santa Cruz that sound like space ships and how do we know if someone like Elon Musk is not running their own space fleet right now? Is space even monitored?

I was walking northbound and observed a white light (much like Venus in brightness) slowly travelling both and a very slowly speed. I guess the approximate altitude about 20,000 feet. The object moved north and hovered in one spot for the duration of the sighting. It appeared to the naked eye as a small bright white light. When I viewed it through binoculars, the shape was cylindrical with two small cylindrical objects the the each side. Half the the length of the main object. It was grey in color and the two objects on the side are either engines or reflectors.

Maple Valley, WA
On April 25th, 2020, I was on my porch facing west admiring the sunset at 8:27pm. I noticed approximately 45 degrees above the Olympics and perhaps about 1 mile or so away (from my vantage point) a flashing light. The light was white and flashed every second with a 2 flash burst approximately every 5 seconds or so. At first I just assumed it was a civilian aircraft headed in my direction but it was stationary. I then assumed it was a helicopter. But the light didn't seem to match any civilian navigation lighting pattern I was familiar with. So I went inside and grabbed my binoculars. With the binoculars I could just vaguely make out a cylindrical black object. No tail or wing structure that I could discern. After a couple of minutes a civilian airplane came into view and when it did, this object started moving in a fairly quick pace to the North, and then switched course and started moving to the south. It was still plainly in view this entire time. At around 8:33pm this object suddenly moved very rapidly downward or at least out of my view and below the tree line where I lost all visual contact. The flashing white light was no longer there, simply a small red light as it made its way out of view. I am a huge aviation buff and can recognize numerous commercial and civil aircraft. This was none of those. This was a true UFO. It was Unidentified, Flying and some sort of physical Object. It's possible (I cannot rule it out) it was a drone but I don't get that feeling. It seemed to be larger than a drone.

I was standing out side in my back yard having a bonfire,I was looking up at the sky at the stars and i noticed what looked like 20 ships in a single formed line shooting across the sky at a very high rate of speed which is what caught my attention in the first place.i first thought they were stars,but stars dont move like these things were moving..I watched them for about 15 seconds before i ran into the house to get my girlfriend so she could see what i was seeing as well..

Early evening, still light out, I stepped out to admire the evening. i observed an object at about the speed of a twin engine light aircraft. Like a piper Seneca II airspeed. Two things got my attention. 1. Its unusual direction of ESE. Living here 28 years I have not observed an aircraft going in that specific direction. Just north and a bit east is Boundary Bay Airport. (CZBB). Normally aircraft are southbound from the airport., They are about 3/4 -1 mile away from our house, southbound, over the bay. Normal also is northbound to CZBB or NW bound for Vancouver airport, or jets flying over, on a N or NW direction.. I simply stared at it. 2. Observed a light at its rear end such as I have never seen, and question if anyone else has. It was a bright white, rotating And pulsating light. As object's direction possibly would have made wings imperceptible, I presumed by its speed and altitude of about 5,000’ ASL it had to be an aircraft. Yet could see no wings. This rotating motion made me believe the entire object was rotating clockwise as it was moving. Impossible to know. The brightness of it dimmed then brightened again about every eight seconds. No parts of the object were visible on either side of this light. It was going away from me. No red or green lights were seen. Conclusion: I presumed it was just an aircraft with a different light, given altitude and speed. It confused me a lot. Was it really rotating, the object? I believe it was. Then I questioned its altitude thinking it was much higher as I looked than I initially thought. Also noticed I did not hear any engine noise. Butt that can happen sometimes. I just stared at it til it disappeared in distance. Question: is this a common light to be seen at the end of an aircraft? Are there other reports? I waited about a year thinking I may observe something similar. I have not.

We saw a cylindrical object almost float through the sky fairly quickly, faster than a plane but also silent, then disappear all of a sudden. It was very close to us and if it were a plane we would have heard it. If it were a meteor or a comet, it would have had a tail. Then we saw another similar object hovering slightly to the right of where we first saw the previous object, it then began slowly moving upwards.

Today I was laying flat on my back in my backyard practicing some breathing exercises and watching the thin wispy clouds blow with the breeze. Anyways, the skies were mostly clear, blue backdrop and I was laying with my head north and my head south when a large, white cylindrical object cpught my eye. It moved in a perfect South to North trajectory directly over me. I could see it was a large white cylinder, with some black details on the white cylindrical body that I couldn't make out. Can you spot satalites during the day? And clear enough to make out the shape? It took approx 15 seconds to completely cross the sky from South to North and it seemed to be much higher than the cloud level. It caught me off guard and I tried to catch it on video but was afraid to look away and then not find it again. If I hadn't been staring at the sky already, I would not have seen it. And the speed alone didn't give me much time either. I did not see any light on this obje! ct.

My wife and I were on the phone talking to each other while we were both driving on HWY 400 South Bound near the Rutherford Exit and she was about 2 minutes in front of me. All of a sudden she says to me, "What the hell" and I replied "did you just see that" she said "yes, was that what I think it was" and I replied i'm certain we just say a UFO..... and she said OMG... that what the weirdest thing i have ever seen.. This object was there for one second and then vanished after bursting at the speed of light towards downtown toronto and completely disappeared. This was a white light shaped like the lamp of a light post but in the middle of the sky... I was in tears of how amazed I was....

My Wife was let the dog out and seen a bright object in the sky then it got real dim. She called me to come look at it and said our friends was back because we have seen this 4 aor 5 times in the past 17 years. So I went out to look at it and sure enough it was bright then it would get dim it would move then stop. I watched it for abut 15 min. and it just disappeared.

It wasn’t in a real hurry, just going at a steady pace. I saw some kind of a red square or something on the side, at the front with some kind of thing sticking out like a flagpole or something rotating so fast it was blurred. Though it made no sound, I thought the craft might be a drone or something, it was heading right towards NASA in Hampton Virginia, which is a straight shot from my backyard 15 minutes away by car,. I ran back into the office and told my husband, he was standing right in there, to come out and look ...he looked at me like I was crazy for a second but then he came right out by that time he saw it from the back, but he definately saw it. I’ve been looking up different aircraft, trying to find something like it ever since and I can’t find anything.

This object was seen headed North from the southern tip of lake Michigan in the city of east chicago indiana.It was about 2:00 p.m. central time when I sotted it heading straight north while I was on the beach with my friends.

This was observed on a bright but semi cloudy day but this object was very visable and distinct .I have also witness with a friend some orange lit object three on each side in a wing formation near gary airport close to the first sighting. that was in around feb. 2012. That was seen at night.

My wife and I were in our backyard enjoying a fire after a break in the rain when in the direct east over the hills of Dehesa I noticed what I thought was a star, but it was amber in color and as I watched it, it slowly rose straight up at a very consistent and measured rate. Once I realized it I motioned to my wife, whose back was to it, she turned and noticed it. As soon as she saw it the object shot directly north at an incredible speed and out of sight.

The sound filled up a bigger space then a regular aircraft space would have. I tried looking for the airplane that was making the noise. But failed to see a plane. I immediately pulled out my compass and I pointed it in the directions that UFO have flown to. My compass gave me a reading of NW. 309°From where I was .standing. Again my feelings were mixed. I was amazed of how quiet and fast it was . But Yet made me think . I hope that was something that we made . Because how ever or what ever made that is very powerful. And Advance

Did anyone else see this? I went out for a few minutes last night at 7:45 pm and noticed a huge craft west of my position at 23rd Sreet and Noland Road in Independence. This location is on top of a big hill. It looked like it was only a mile away and larger than a 747. There were brilliant white lights all over it and one red light on the left side. The lights were reflecting off of shiny metal. At first, I thought it was a plane landing at the Downtown Kansas City airport, and it would have needed to turn in order to do so, but soon realized that it was flying very low - at approximately 2,000 feet or lower and slow-moving from North to South. It did not turn in the direction (west) it would have needed to land. The object then either disappeared or turned all of its lights out. I immediately called another investigator and she had just seen the same object in the western skies from her position, which is two miles closer to where the object was. So that m! eans it had to have been approximately three miles away, making it absolutely huge - perhaps five times the size of a commercial airliner. The skies were clear last night. I am hoping that someone else saw this object and got video of it.

Driving northbound on I-79 just past the Bridgeville on-ramp. It was still light out and visibility was good. Looking to my left above the distant tree line I saw what I thought was a large airplane flying pretty low in the distance. There were gray clouds behind the object. Something didn’t seem right so I did a doubletake. I glanced back at the road for a split second and then back at the flying object. I was driving 65mph in light traffic. This time it looked to be closer and hovering what looked to be a couple of hundred feet above the trees that were about a half-mile away. This time my first thought was that it was a large helicopter as it was hovering, but it could not have been as it was 3 times larger than the biggest helicopter and was a symmetrical cylinder shape. I got a good look for about 3 seconds. The unconventional aircraft was dark gray with a dim white light on the left and a dim red light on the right. There may have been other dimmer li! ghts in the middle. It was perfectly smooth around the perimeter. Top outline was parallel to the bottom and the left and right were perfect half circles. I glanced back at the road and then back to the object and it had disappeared. I scanned the horizon and it was gone. I immediately got the chills, and goosebumps and got choked up due to what I has just witnessed.

I watched a bright green glowing cylinder, flying horizontally, parallel to the ground, moving at a steady, brisk pace (75-100mph?), in a direct line from West to East. It was maybe 100-200 feet up, about 10-20 feet long and 2 feet across. After about 8 seconds it just disappeared without falling or flaring, well before hitting the horizon or going behind anything that would have taken it out of my line of sight. It made no sound that could be heard from my location. There was no trail or exhaust that I could see. No rotors, no wings, no discernible features protruding from the cylinder. It was a sunny afternoon, with just a few, very high wispy clouds that did not obscure observation of the object. There was no wind at ground level. The clouds were moving from Southwest to Northeast, not the same direction as the object.
