Sandy Springs, GA
My girlfiend and I live in Sandy Springs, GA. We were outside approximately September 10th, 730 - 745pm, just before dusk. Flying southeast, it appeared to be in our atmosphere, but faint, we were unable to visibly make out its exact definition. But whatever it was, it was huge. We had our phones with us, but captivated by the sight, we didnt record it. This what we saw. Its hard to describe, but here we go. It was larger than 2 football fields, at least ten blinking white lights simultaneously, equally short distance from each other, formed in a straight line of the direction of flight (like from tip to nose). It was slow moving, gliding overhead. As it passed, we began to make out multiple (~20) red and blue lights blinking simultaneously, which formed triangle at the tail, another triangle midway/center on the left side and other the right. Sorry, my description is horrible. BTW: we were not on any substance, totally sober. I highly doubt it's ET - proba! bly military, it was an incredible sight. Any insight?

It was a moon lite sky over the Atlantic ocean. All of the sudden 5 red lights in a straight line appeared out of nowhere.30 seconds later they disappeared just as quickly. My wife and I noticed them reappearing again what looked to be about 2 or 3 miles to the north. At this time there are only 4 lights in a straight line. Then about 30 seconds later it instantly disappeared again. Then a couple of more miles to the north 1 light appeared then disappeared within a couple of seconds. About 1 minute later one of the lights that looked identical to the others reappeared at the same point where they began. The UFO looked to be bigger than two aircraft carriers in length and definitely at least a couple thousand feet in the air!

Driving down I-25 near the Longmont exit I was able to look at and record a ginormous black square object in the sky that had to have been at least one football field stadium in size. There was another craft that was significantly smaller but was larger than a helicopter that is in the video I have as well.

It was past 10pm MST and I was outside on my patio watching sky via binoculars. Visibility was excellent! Noticed rectangular shape object hovering over city at altitude 500 ft ? Object then moved slowly south without making any sound whatsoever! I could see its dark grayed bottom (via binoculars) and a part of a side. I think there seems to be light on its side but I cannot confirm that. Object stopped for a moment then accelerated and very smoothly moved from north to south. We have a small airport few miles away but this was no plane or drone. It had no wings, lights or visible engines. It was flying directly above me and I couldn't get a full view of it (due to my position). I estimate its size to be at least 100 ft long and 30 ft wide if not bigger! Object disappeared into the darkness of the sky and trees…

Taos (rural; hunting area), NM
TRANSCRIBED REPORT FROM TELEPHONE CONVERSATION: NOTE: THIS REPORT IS UNSUBSTANTIATED, AND NO WRITTEN REPORT HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE NATIONAL UFO REPORTING CENTER, AS OF THIS WRITING. NUFORC IS AWAITING WRITTEN REPORTS FROM ALL WITNESSES, AND THIS REPORT REMAINS IN QUESTION UNTIL RECEIPT OF THOSE FOLLOW-UP REPORTS. THE FACTS PRESENTED HERE ARE SUBJECT TO AMENDMENT. At 1816 hrs. (PDT) on Tuesday, September 03, 2019, our Hotline received a call from an adult male, who described himself as a bow hunter, hunting for elk in the vicinity of Taos, New Mexico. He said that the elk season for bow hunting had opened on Sunday, September 01, and that he was hunting with two other hunting partners. According to the source, on the first day of their hunt, two of the hunters witnessed a very strange looking structure, which at first, they thought was some type of building. However, the area they were in was so remote that they didn't understand what a building would be doing in that area of the forest. One of the witnesses estimated the craft to be not less than 100 feet in length; the other estimated the strange craft's length at not less than 200'. The witnesses did not get a photo of the structure. They departed the area, but returned to the same location again the next day, September 02nd, to scan the area for any evidence that might be present at the site where the alleged object had been seen resting on, or near, the ground. During this second visit to the area, the one witness who contacted the National UFO Reporting Center went on to recount that on September 02, he and one of the other partners witnessed two tall, very strange, alien-looking creatures, who were seen standing in the bowl of a small volcanic caldera. The one witness who telephoned the UFO Hotline stated that he would submit a report, upon returning home from his hunting trip, and that he would attempt to convince his two partners to submit reports as well. The individual who called the Hotline added that all three of the witnesses had been quite upset by the events they allegedly had witnessed, and that they were considering returning home early from their hunt. NUFORC was impressed with what we perceived to be the apparent sincerity of the caller during the telephone conversation with him. Still no report from the witness, as of September 12, 2019, although he has represented to us that he will send one. We will post it, when it arrives. PD

The ufo was rectangle shaped and gray in color. Each corner had a dark gray spot. The ufo was flying East and moving very, very slow. It stayed level as it flew across the sky. Since it was moving so slow I felt like it was scanning the ground aka Earth. It was South of my home. I could see it from my balcony, it went behind some trees and came out the other side of the trees. There was only one ufo. It wasn't a banner being pulled by a plane. I checked, no plane. It was flying on it's own power. This happened during the day.

While sitting on back deck relaxing and looking up for stars a rectangle object about the size a mid-sized car cruised over my home. It was solid flat black with no lighting whatsoever. I could see a cylinder looking head or helmet protruding on top which appeared to look down at me. After blinking this object flew past my line of sight. The object did not make a sound and appeared to have a visible distortion around its edges. The area was between a tree on my left and my home on the right. Visible window of less then 20 feet from he ground view between tree and house. It looked as if it was a large flying carpet with a large can on top. It was flying just above the trees so size is accurate. ook some time to process what I saw. Research on this type of object has come back empty. I'm a senior officer in a global banking firm.

On the evening of Friday, July 26th, 2019, I was out in my side yard just South of Sacramento California. It was close to midnight and dark, with normal light pollution for my area. I was facing North when I saw above me in my peripheral vision something moving fast in my direction. I looked up and saw a very large rectangle moving very fast approximately North to South over Sacramento and it continued its course until I could no longer see it in the distance (was still heading South). It crossed almost directly over my head at what seemed to be above a normal airplane altitude but spanned the distance of the entire sky in approximately 8 seconds from the time I first saw it. I don’t know how fast that is but it made the F-22 Raptor I’ve seen near Fresno seem sluggish, cumbersome, and awkward flying in comparison. It traveled effortlessly, was a light color, possibly silver or a light grey—I could see it in the dark but it had no lights on at all—and it also made no sound. The rectangle was approximately the shape of a stick of gum. I’d guess about a 3 to 1 ratio with no other form to it and it went forward in width rather than length wise. I wish I knew more but I only had enough time to think I would Google it to find out what it was. In doing so I found no explanations for what it could be besides a UFO. I was elated after seeing this, it was a pretty wonderful sight. The only thing I can think is Beale Air Force Base up North but again I found no satisfying information on the internet.

I was outside smoking and I was walking home when I looked up and I could see a rather large low-flying object in the sky. It was flying over one of the buildings in my community. I couldn’t really make out what shape it was because of the lights that it had, but it wasn’t quite round maybe close to a wide rectangle. The whole bottom of the object was glowing an Amber/orange color and on the left and the right side each side had one red glowing light. The way the lights looked was so strange because it was like looking at lights glowing through a fog. You couldn’t distinctly see the light but it was glowing and you could see the color. There was no fog or clouds this night it was clear so I thought that was odd. The object was moving slowly and silently as it moved. It move north over the building and I started walking very fast because I wanted to get around the building to not loose my line of sight. I did lose sight for about 5 seconds as I rounded the! corner of the building and in those 5 seconds it was gone. I remember thinking I wanted to record it, but didn’t want to look away from it because I didn’t want to miss it. I wanted to keep looking at this because it is something I have never seen before. This was the first real ufo I have ever seen. This blew my mind

While recording the early evening sky, we noticed a strange rectangle shaped air craft. The strange aircraft appeared to change its length during flight. It had a curious looking halo that reflected light in various ways. At one moment, there appeared to be another object flying in parallel to the strange aircraft.

During the early evening of July 15, 2019, as dusk approached I witnessed in my backyard what I can only describe as a “hole” in the fabric of space. It was a quick event, but long enough for me to observe and mentally register the event. When I saw it, I was unnerved to the point I left the area rather quickly, but the next morning I took a photograph from the observational vantage point and doctored it in PowerPoint to capture what I saw. The Event: I had my head down, dragging a pressurized water hose out to the garden. As I ame around the corner of the house, I looked up and observed what is shown in the image. It was about 15 to 18 ft away from me and appeared as a black hole in space, infinitely deep. It hung there for a moment, then suddenly zipped to the right at a high rate of speed, disappearing behind the building shown in the photo. I stood there stuned for a moment, and then quickly moved forward to look around the corner of the building. There was nothing unusual to be seen. Description: As it moved to the right, there was a bit of optical distortion along the left edge. That is, as it moved the edge itself remained sharp, but the view of the world adjacent to the edge was somewhat wavy, like looking through optical refraction you might see from hot air coming off a sun-baked road. It did not change size or shape as it moved and disappeared from my field of view behind the building. There was no sound or air movement as it moved away. It was not flat in space, rather the equivalent of a twisted trapezoid sheet opening. All of the edges were sharp and well-defined. As shown, there were a few sparkles of light in the lower right hand corner, similar to stars but bluer in color. There were a few pinpoints of light that were brighter than those shown, but the overall size and intensity is basically correct. The image I put together is not perfect, however it is a very close, solid representation of what I saw. Nothing however can capture the infinite depth or blackness observed through the opening. We spoke via telephone with the source of this report, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a superlative, and quite reliable, witness. PD

I was outside on my back porch at 2300 hours looking at the moon with my telescope. There was some overcast around the moon. It was clear over the rest of the sky. I sat down to wait for the clouds to move from around the moon. I saw a bright light coming out of the southwest toward my house. There were lights flashing. No noise. I would venture to say it was about 5000 ft up and coming down toward my house. It is turning to a more direct east path and crossed right over my head. I was filming it and taking pics of it with my cell phone. The main craft was elongated rectangle with no wings. It had bright lights at the front and back of it. There were little orbs of light flying around it. The large craft opend up bays doors on the bottom of the craft. It was a very bright light coming out of the bay area but, I could see pipes and structures, beams of light flying around inside of it too. As it passed by me I at first it looked like tail lights on the back of it but, I realized it was different colored orbs floating on the back of the craft. It was not going to fast about 50 or 60 Mile an hour is my guess.

Single distinct Rectangular white/metallic object seen in the distant NW sky while traveling northbound on I-77 in Canton, OH. Object was not moving. The object may have had slightly rounded ends. The sky was completely clear and blue, with no plane trails or clouds to note. A patch of trees obstructed view for approximately 5 seconds of drive time (65mph) and the object was not visible again.

We were driving down m-53 headed from work to get pizza. It was daytime. We all noticed what appeared to be,to me,a rectangle looking shaped object very slowly moving about 300-500 ft above the ground. It resembled a family pool or something floating, mid air. Trying to make sense of it, I looked to see if maybe it was being pulled, like a banner, from the rear of a plane but there was no plane in sight. We had slowed way down at this point. Way too big to be a kite and moving like 5 miles an hour with a smooth progression, I knew I had no way to faxing this thing in my mind. It appeared black/brown in color and as I took note of the color, we were slowly driving so trees were moving in front of it. I noticed it started to angle itself differently. Like a picture frame slowly falling over. It had no visible lights. As it got almost flat, it suddenly dissappear. We pulled into the pizza place seconds later. We re-aquired it miles Away on the horizon, slowly ! moving across the sky again until it went out of view. It was antigravitic, rectangular and moved faster than the eye could see but still, also stood still and creeped along at other times.

I was trying to take a photo for the moon and stars. It was falling straight down. As I was taking the photos I thought I was photographing a falling star. After processing the photos I realized it was not a falling star but an object that had lights on both sides and a small light on the back. I only seen the object for approx. 2 mins before it was gone.

Atlantic Ocean (240 miles E of FL), -
During an ocean crossing from Bermuda to Florida.. 4:30 am 240 miles away from the Bahamas it was a flat calm night. The moon had gone over the horizon so it was pitch black other then the boats bright light facing forward. The light gave us around 50 feet of visibility ahead of us. We were cruising at 10 knots. An orange glowing rectangle about the size of a refrigerator appeared just outside of the boats light. This object was hovering over the water around 5-10 feet. Created no wake and was silent. We turned off the boats light and sure enough it was illuminated, we could see the sharp right angles very clearly! This thing was close!! We turned the light back on and the object took off out of site In front of the boat. This left everyone confused.. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Box shape moved quickly over 537, then hovered in place for while. We tried to drive to where it was and lost track because of the trees. We did get it on video though, hovering in place in the storm clouds.

The craft was first spotted after sunset in a completely stationary position about four fingers below the crescent moon, flashing as a very bright rectangle. After a minute, it adjusted to a higher position, arcing a bit to the west. After a couple of minutes at that unwavering station, the craft very quickly moved diagonally down towards the horizon where the sun had just set ten to fifteen minutes earlier. The most striking elements were the regular period and the brightness of the flashing light, and the speed and precision in which it moved.

Between 12:30 and 1:00 A.M. on July 3, 2019, I saw weird lightening-like lights high in the sky above the 30 acres of woods behind my house. My first thought was that it was some sort of freaky heat lightening. I told my friend to check it out and he looked up but the sky was dark again. When it happened a second time, I realized it was not heat lightening and had no idea what it was. The sky was dark, then suddenly I saw several lights that formed a vertical rectangle—but not a perfect one. The lights were visible for a few seconds, during which time several pulses of electricity zapped from one side of the rectangle to the other sporadically and simultaneously. Then the sky went dark. My friend confirmed that it was definitely not lightening. It happened again several seconds later, only this time it happened slightly lower in the sky and a little to the left of the first two pulses. The next time it happened it was even lower and more to the left, but in an arc from the initial sighting. We weren’t sure what it was or what to do so we kept watching. After several more appearances, it was 90 degrees from the initial sighting and just above the trees, then lower than the trees, then all we could see was a patch of pulsing light through the trees where it had landed. Now terrified, we grabbed our belongings and I headed into the house as my friend drove out of my driveway. I shut the lights and stayed away from the windows hoping I did not have any surprise visitors. At 2:30 I went to bed. I was too scared to go near the windows so I don’t know if it was still there and/or still is.
