Xenia, OH
Was in my work vehicle heading south on us-42 when I noticed a silver object in the sky that appeared to resemble an airplane. I then paid no attention to it until I was on the exit ramp from 42 to u.s. 35 East. I glanced up at it and examined it a little further, I then noticed it hadn't moved anywhere for at least 30 seconds. Upon further examination I noticed that I could see the nose of the object it was not conical it was round. I then noticed that the area at the rear of the object was not tail shaped but had a black point that protruded in the opposite direction of the nose. The sky was extremely clear at this moment I could see no other objects in the vicinity for referencpe. This craft or object was at approximately 5000 feet altitude. The object did not move if it did move then it moves slowly in relation to my vehicle traveling 65 miles per hour. Unlike the speed of an airplane which exceeds the speed of a vehicle when the perspective is from the ! vehicle. About a half mile down from the exit on 35, I then exited off the highway onto lower bellbrook road. At this time I was not in sight of the object and was anxious to get around the curve of the exit ramp so that I could get another look at it by then I was pulling my phone out to take a picture. Once I came to a stop sign I glanced back up in the sky where the object had been and it was no longer there. It being an extremely clear sky I looked and looked for the object again. There was absolutely nothing in the sky any longer. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Camden, NJ
Around 11:30ish on the evening of August 23rd, I was in the city of Camden, NJ. I was standing at my boyfriend's truck. Behind me was a dark alley to my left, was a small field then a couple houses, to my right was a big field of grass and in front of me was a couple houses. The cylinder shaped object came from my right side, up in the sky slowly descending till it was a low enough to see very clearly. I noticed it because the object was rotating as it was moving slowly. The flying object was cylindrical in shape, kind of like the things at the bank u put your stuff in then it gets sucked up. It had lights around it like dots, green dot, white dot, red dot, the lights outlined the object and the lights around the top of cylinder spun in circle as the object rotated (if on a clock 11-5) I looked up and pointed it out to my boyfriend as the object hovered over me for a moment while rotating. A few people over by the house a in front of me also looked up because I was pointing up telling my boyfriend to look. The object started moving again still going to the left of me but also rising. After it got to a certain height, (well above where the airplanes fly in the area I was in) there was a flash of light then the object was gone. This was definitely not any kind of aircraft that is normally in that area? I'm curious if anyone else saw this?

Minnetonka, MN
I was driving to work early in the morning and noticed double-layered lights surrounding a massive circular object in the sky around 494 and Minnetonka Blvd. At first, I thought it was just street lights or a special billboard. However, I kept staring at it and could longer explain what it actually was. I just knew that there was not supposed to be any bright lights in that particular area of the sky. I parked my car in the parking lot and got out with my camera phone. But the UFO was already gone. This was the closest that I have ever seen one. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Creston, NC
On August 19, 2019 at approximately 7:02 p.m. ET in Creston, NC, I saw a silver cylinder shaped object about the size of a bus moving through the sky from a northeast direction toward a southerly direction. No noise, no lights, no wings. It was moving quickly and although the skies were cloudy, there were intermittent breaks in the clouds where I spotted this “thing”. I watched it until it disappeared into a cloud. Some months back, I saw an object which looked the same on two different occasions, but there were two of them at that time. One went over followed by another one shortly thereafter which looked identical. The first time the objects were going from a southerly direction toward the northeast. The second time I saw them, which I believe was the next evening before dark,, there were also two of the objects going in the opposite direction. One following the other with a good distance between them so as both were not visible together. Someone posted a picture from California on this site which I saw and it looked the same as the object I saw.

Tonkawa, OK
Monday August 19. Around 4:35 p.m. Saw a cylindrical object just east of Tonkawa, OK flying north to south. Object appeared to be like an aircraft fuselage but without wings or tail fin. As I observed the object move to the south I got a view down it as well, still showing no wings. The object was grey; a little reflectivity but not much. Altitude would be a guess but I’d say under 10k ft. Speeds appeared like an airliner would have. No contrail, no noise. Could have been a balloon but it would have been trucking it on a calm wind day. Winds were from the south as well.

Peninsula State Park, WI
I saw this object out of the corner of my eye, which seemed strange, because it was so high in the sky. I pointed it out to my wife, who also saw it. It seemed to be a grey color or a dark blue, not moving, staying in one place, I would estimate 30,000 feet above us. (the estimate is based on jet planes at that height, traveling across country, that one might see on a clear day.) After about a minute to a minute and a half, we lost sight of it, with high haze coming between us and the object.

Minetto, NY
On 08/14/19 at about 7:00 pm, I saw what looked like a plane with no wings flying North, kind of low in the sky. About the height a propeller plane would fly (below cloud height). I didn’t see any lights and the object looked to be pure white and the length of any commercial plane. It did not have a vapor trail and I saw it through tree tops so it disappeared from my view very quickly. I thought it was a jet at first but what caught my attention was that it was so low for this area. There is no commercial airport nearby. I quickly realized it had no wings and was just a cylinder or cigar shape. I heard nothing which I thought was strange based on the height it was flying . As soon as it flew behind some leaves (about 4-5 seconds after I first saw it), I ran around the trees to a wide open area to make sure of what I was seeing. Maybe 25 feet on the ground and then there was nothing blocking my view. It only took maybe another 3 or 4 seconds to get to the clear area. I was shocked that it was gone. Nothing at all in the sky. No vapor trail. It was way to far below the clouds to have gone behind them or into them. It was not traveling anywhere near fast enough to have disappeared. I even waited a couple of minutes to see if I was missing something. I have no idea where it went and the fact that it disappeared like that is why I am looking into this further. I went online to see if anyone else saw it and that is how I came upon this website, I would really like to find out more information and see if anyone else saw this or something of a similar circumstance? I’m pretty skeptical about these things, but I am very confused about what this could have been? I know for sure I saw the object. It could see how I could possibly misidentify an object but I could not have misplaced it in that time frame.

Bakersfield, CA
Towards dusk thought I saw a plane but this object was slowly moving and then came to what appeared a stop then began moving at a slow speed again...there were no blinking lights. It appeared as tho it was moving with the sun for reflection to mislead but was definitely not an aircraft I had ever seen due to the unusual flight pattern....do airplanes fly at such a slow seeps with no identifiable markers no lights...

Thompson's Station, TN
Driving northbound on Lewisburg, 3 ½ miles south of 840. Routine route. First saw a bright green light which appeared far out to the left of a long straight shot of road, with a smaller blinking red. Approximately a 3/4 mile closer, and I had ruled out airplane/helicopter, per my trajectory. Another quarter mile and I slowed while passing it. I appeared to be fully stationary around 35-40 ft off the ground, above and slightly to the right of a house that sits directly on Lewisburg. The object was probably no more than 100ft away. It was completely dark out, with no noticeable lights coming from any of the surroundings. I barely had time to scry its silhouette, but it appeared to be roughly cigar-proportioned, but with more geometric angles with a tip pointing towards the road. There were two weaker, blinking white lights that started on the small face towards me which angled down around its underbelly geometrically. The green and red lights seemed to be pointing horizontally or upward, I can’t recall. I’m thinking it was around 12 (length) x 4 x 4 ft. hard to tell. No sound that I could hear over the car motor. There were no powerlines, or any other objects around, it was clearly above any trees. The only explanation I could even begin to consider were two or more drones flying in sync, so that I mistook the “length”. However, the lights (green especially) were so strong that no drone could sustain that kind of power, let alone waste it by pointing main lights anywhere but downward.

Tujunga, CA
It was 2am at night and all of a sudden I see a red color pulsating from my peripheral. I open my window and I see a giant spheric circle looking thing pulsating a red color but then it started pulsating blue colors. I recorded it and send it to my dad. He confirmed it but like an idiot he deleted it. On that same day my phone broke

Silsbee, TX
The group I was with consisted of myself and two others. All of which are of sound mental capacity and were ages 19, 19, and 18. The sky was clear with very sparse cloud cover. A local trainyard (BNSF) is nearby and it's lights are bright enough to dim stars in the area. At around 1:00 AM, while looking up at the sky, all 3 of us spotted a brief but mostly clear display of light in the sky, here are the key details; Dark colored cylindrical to rectangular body/"fuselage" with parallel blue lights on either side. The lights left a bright trail for approximately a half second. The UFO/UAP seemed to be traveling northwest. The lights and object appeared for about one second while moving southwest. The object appeared to be about 100 to 300 feet above ground. We were situated on the north bleachers and were attempting to observe stars. This is all I can remember but even after two years the sight is burned into my memory.

After a couple minutes, I glanced in my driver's side mirror and all four blew up like colorful fireworks and disappeared. Thank God for this beautiful sight!

Rock Island, IL
Saw something barrel shaped and white up high (went in and out of clouds), looked like an oil drum on it's side, no visible lights, no sound, no vapor trail. Went from NE to SW. Was about the size of a pencil eraser held at arms length.

Corona, CA
A bright, red light could be seen by me in the night sky. I thought it was strange, so I made several videos of it with my smartphone camera. It travelled slower than an airplane, and did not make any noise. I watched it for about 10 minutes. After about 7 minutes from the time I spotted the red light travelling from left to right, I saw the second witness and pointed out the UFO to him. I asked him what it might be. We watched it for about 2 minutes. About 9 minutes from the time I spotted it, drops of white and red alternating light fell off of the bright, red light. Each time a drop of light fell, the red UFO became dimmer. Finally, after many drops of light fell and disintegrated, the red UFO disintegrated completely and no more drops of light fell, as they had nothing to fall from.

Bayside, NY
While looking out of our doors to the backyard (all glass) I observed a cylindrical shaped ufo flying through the backyard going north to south. Flying close to the ground. This ufo was flying extremely fast and I was only able to get a glance. It had a bright blue/green color. At the same time of this a relative called to say they observed the same phenomenon.

Canterbury, CT
In the sky, over the West facing side of my home, above the tree line. A silver cylinder with what appeared to be rectangular apertures, traveling North to South in a straight line, at a high rate of speed...reflecting the rising sun. A faint jet engine sound could be heard, but there was no trail, and it had no wings.

West Jordan, UT
This happened on July 20th, 2019 in West Jordan, UT. I was in my backyard about 7:10 pm, reclining in a lounge chair. I was staring up in the sky thinking of my deceased mom. I suddenly became aware of a bright light extremely high up in the sky. I could see it was reflecting light but I could tell it was way too high for an airplane, and a helicopter can’t go as high as this was. I was watching it and realized it wasn’t moving, but just sitting there. Suddenly 3 more lights appeared, moving and took a formation around the first light, to the left. They all sat there for several minutes when they All started moving and changed formation, then sat there several more minutes. This went on and on, them moving and taking different formations, then sitting, for about 20-25 minutes. Then they all seem to back up and just disappear. I did get photos of these lights in the sky. I watched for about another half hour and they never reappeared, so I started to relax and play with my dog. I kept glancing up, and about the 3rd time I glanced up, I about died of shock. There, right in front of me, flying over the backyard right next to mine (to the east) was two UFOs. They were flying fast, and were perfectly aligned, like a mirror image. They were white, and they were cylindrical shape. They were completely silent, no sound, no vibration. I could see them perfectly as they were very low. I was just telling myself “Study them, Study them!” There were no windows. They each had an extremely light bright circling around each one of them around their center, and meeting in the middle of the two, which were what looked like a few feet apart from each other. They glowed exceedingly. They flew over her yard, their roof, and then they were out of my sight. I jumped up and looked for them but they were gone. I didn’t see where they went but I couldn’t see them anywhere.

Livingston/Atwater (between), CA
I was driving in Livingston when I saw two cylinder shaped objects in the sky. I first noticed them when the sun was reflecting off them. They were both shiny. At first I thought it was a plane with a glider plane following. The second object was trailing behind the first object. Suddenly the object that was following the first, glided under the first object. I followed them to try to get a photo but they disappeared when I reached a clear area.

It was very very slowly moving. Incredibly high in the sky. It went on for about 5 minutes and then disappeared.

New Fairfield, CT
Finished flying uav’s near public park, when both myself and peer looked up to what he called out to where it traveled from northeast to northwest at about 300 feet to a 1000 feet up. It moved slow and wobbled. Wind meanwhile prevailing wind was coming from the south east at 7 mph. Frogs in near by lake stopped crooking and no aircraft where in area at that time. As a pilot myself this was not a balloon or other type of aircraft of my knowledge.
