For what it’s worth, I thought I’d try making a submission. Stepped onto the front porch, yesterday morning, to retrieve the paper. So there, across the street, suspended above the neighbor’s house, was a flat circular disc. The underside of this thing, and it was probably seventy feet in diameter, was flat, and perfectly smooth, and dark gray in color. The topside, however, rose from the outer rim to a smooth dome. I guess you could say that it was shaped like a sand dollar. I couldn’t tell if this thing was metallic, or some other material. As I said, the underside was a dusky gray, while the top was a lighter gray color. As well, this thing looked like it was stuck against the sky. I mean, it wasn’t flying, or hovering, and I wasn’t aware of any sound, an engine sound, or some kind of propulsion system. So what do you do? I picked up the paper and walked back to the house, to the kitchen, where I casually poured myself a cup of coffee. Honestly, I wondered if I should call my neighbor and let him know that there was this disc, which sat fifty, or so, feet above his house. As it was, I stepped into the living room and pulled the drapes... and wouldn’t you know, this thing wasn’t there, which left me thinking, so it’s going to be one of those kind of days. The sighting, the initial sighting, followed by the trip to the kitchen, and pulling the drapes, took about fifteen minutes.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t even a sighting at the time, although once in Indiana I saw a UFO shoot up diagonally into the sky. They are fast. Very fast. I was looking through old pics on my phone the other day, and saw this extraordinary photo of- what could be- a UFO!! It was taken at 06:29am on Monday Feb 15th. Why so early? My husband & I are truck drivers and we were stuck in Houston, TX during a historical deep freeze. We had just woken up to a frigid 12° outside, and I snapped a few photos of the thick ice everywhere. Nobody could move all week. Highways were empty, stores closed, people froze to death:( What I cannot understand is why the first photo (sans light in the clouds) was taken at 06:22, and the photo WITH the light was timestamped 7 minutes later at 06:29. Also, I looked at the IMG numbers of the photo sequence on my phone, and there is a number missing in between these two photos, which means it was deleted. I have no memory of deleting that, nor taking the 2nd photo of the light and only NOW noticed this exciting (possible) encounter from last year!! Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated, and thank you NUFORC for everything you do!!

Lawtey, FL
We were driving down U.S. Route 301 headed from Tampa to Jacksonville when a large saucer crossed over the road in front of us headed from east to west. It was large enough that it took up the width of the entire four-lane road and median, and the ends of the saucer were both over the trees. It was 100 ft in the air, just above the tree line. It was a grey, round disk - almost like an upside-down frisbee. It was completely smooth on the bottom and dimly lit around the edges - not individual lights, but lit all the way around. It wasn't going very fast at all. It moved slowly and smoothly across the roadway. A few seconds after the disk crossed a helicopter followed it across the road. The helicopter was significantly smaller than the disk - a very small fraction of the size. Observers are two nurses - one male, and one female - both in our 50s. We turned down a sideroad to attempt to follow it, but we could not keep up. Our coordinates when we stopped drivin! g were 30.0813, -82.0747 on NW 251st Street.

Probable conventionalWashington, DC
On a beautiful January night, back in 2021, I was taking photos off my upper floor balcony of the sunset, like I always did. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky except for a couple low ones that appeared dark in color. The sun had already set and I captured a beautiful view of the National Cathedral. When going through my phone the other day, looking at photos, I came across these two photos I took that evening back in 2021 one minute apart. I wasn’t sure what the white spot was in the upper right corner of the photos?! I expanded to see what appeared to be a white disk shaped craft. In prospective, it appeared pretty large. I could see depth and definition. There appeared to be a dome in the center of the object. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

The 2 crafts are both saucer shape and our government made them as I remember in or around 1957 and as I remember they did fly just well and not as intended. The time (1957) would be good if it was from information obtained from the Roswell, NM. crash. I have view them several times from 1970 to 1992 (while in the service)and as of late also on line. They are located at the US Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, VA., but have very little back story about them. I have and do watch The UFO studies on Discovery and the History Channels and I have never seen any thing about the crafts that the US has built and they do in fact look like many that have been reported. I do not know if the your group was aware of their exhibit or not. If not I'm sure it would be worth a close look and see what your group thinks.

Fishkill, NY
On January 25th, 2021, I hit the road from Newburgh, NY to Fishkill, NY to pick up my wife. She gets out of work at 11:45 PM. I picked her up and we got back on the road. I was driving the vehicle and she was sitting next to me. We have a Kia SUV. I was driving on the right lane about 50 miles per hour speed. This highway is known as Interstate 84 west. Two lanes going east and two lanes going west. Around 11:55 pm, an object suddenly passed from the right front corner of our vehicle to the left front corner with a tremendous speed. The object looked like tube-shaped, and fluorescent in color. It passed with a tremendous speed and left behind a flutter. It looked like this flutter was the replaced atmosphere that was visible through our headlights. We passed through this flutter. Next, my wife said what was that? She said, “was that a deer?” I said I have never seen a tube-shaped, fluorescent white deer that travels with the speed of light. She said it could! be a bird. I repeated myself and said it was not an animal, plant, or human. My wife and I communicated perfectly up until that point. Next, I looked at my left mirror and what I saw shocked me. There was an object about the size of a dumpster truck if not any bigger, gold like beige in color, disc shaped with a huge majestic platform in the middle was flying at the left rear corner of our vehicle. The object positioned itself over the left lane and was travelling (flying) in the same direction with us. I said " I see it. There is an object behind us. Oh my God! What is this? This cannot be a bird. It is too big and not flapping wings. " Later my wife said she never heard me saying this. I clearly remember making this statement out loud. The object got closer and it was almost parallel to the rear seats. So, I said " It is getting so close! Far too close!" I said this last statement out loud in panic and shock. My wife later said that I have never said ! that. Apparently, my wife and I were disconnected for some rea! son. In those seconds, I have the following thoughts in my mind: " I have been put into this situation against my will. Now, I have to deal with it, and manage the situation. I should not do anything wrong. I should pretend nothing is happening." Next, my thoughts were to pull over to the side of the road and stop. However, my instincts then said not to because the object might stop in front of us and we might end up evacuating our vehicle, and what if they did the same? At this moment, I felt everything like very slow motion. I really could not tell if our tires were on the road and if I was really driving our vehicle. I felt some controlling power was in charge of our vehicle. I wonder if time was really ticking at that point. I felt some kind of calm, peace, and tranquility that were reinforced in me. All I saw from the left mirror was the surface of the object. Therefore, the object totally blocked my left mirror view. The surface of the object was gold (beige) in colo! r, and it looked porous. After these agonizing moments, the object began to distance itself from our vehicle. The object had done this very aesthetically. While the distance between us and the object was increasing gradually, the object was increasing its altitude gradually as well. Finally, there was a rightward curve on the road, and I checked where the object was from my left mirror. In this final moment, it was over the medium at the left of the left lane. It looked like it stopped there in midair. This was the last time I saw the object. I said " the object disappeared" out loud. My wife later said that she did not hear it either. We travelled a little bit and I said to my wife " call police". She was able to communicate with me at this point. She later said that after the conversation about deer, it was the only statement I made. Of course, this was not true. Because I made numerous statements after I spotted the object behind us till it disappeare! d. In this time frame, my wife claims that I did not say anyth! ing out loud, and she was looking straight ahead. Anyway, my wife said why are we calling the police. She said let it go. I said we cannot let it go. Because there were so many other vehicles on the road and someone might get hurt or even worse. I said we do our share to inform police. Since my wife forgot her phone at home that day (which is very unusual), she tried to use my phone. Next, she said she cannot call because there are no icons on my cell phone, not even a single one. I asked her if she could text message someone, but she said no way. I said forget it. There were only a couple of miles until we got home. Finally, we got home, and I parked our vehicle. After I stopped the engine, I asked my wife if she may try to call the police again. This time all the icons were there. She called Orange County police department. They transferred her to Dutchess , and Dutchess transferred her to NY State police. Finally, we informed NY state police about what happened that night. After ! that I did not want to get out of our vehicle of my fear that what if something was beneath the vehicle. After I said this comment to my wife, she said don't worry. There cannot be anything under the vehicle. Next, she opened the door and stepped out. It was my turn to open the door slowly and step out gently. Next day, my wife googled and found National UFO Research Center. She called them and put the phone on speaker. This gentleman introduced himself, his phone number, and address. He wanted us to write this incident separately including any drawings and mail it to them. The object was able to go in one direction and then the opposite. It was easily changing its altitude and speed. The object managed to come to a full stop in midair over the medium at the left of the left lane. I did not have a chance to see the bottom of it. I did not see any lights either. Apparently, my wife and I were disconnected within the time frame between the conversation about the deer (we both remember) and the conversation about calling the law enforcement (again we both remember). However, anything said between these two time frames were somehow not heard. The disconnection between me and my wife coincides with the time frame the object positioned itself to our left till the object disappeared. One last observation: I did drive there today. I recorded where we got chased. I noticed that the object chased us in some very interesting part of the highway. This part of the highway towards west (From Fishkill to Newburgh) is covered by long and high hills from both s! ides. It is like a corridor with walls at both sides. Therefore, east and west bound vehicles cannot see each other in this part of the highway. We did not see any vehicles ahead of us in this strip that night. Likewise, we did not see any vehicles behind us in the strip that night either. Apparently, we were the only vehicle passing through this part of the highway. An excellent place to hunt. The object disappeared almost where the strip ends. Afterwards, we travelled a couple of minutes where east and west bound vehicles were able to see each other. At this point a semi-truck passed us. That was the first vehicle passing us (I was very nervous when that truck was passing us). I wonder why this object crossed from right to left and then chased us over the left lane? Why it did not stay in right and chase us at the right-hand side? My wife and I will be going for a cat scan. We could not find anyone to check the radiation level of our vehicle yet.

Portland, OR
I was in my backyard looking up at the sky stretching my arms, at about 9:50am this morning (January 25th, 2021) (at least once or twice a day I go barefoot outside with my dog when it’s not raining so I can ground and stretch and get some fresh air even though it’s cold) when I noticed a flying object appear to be traveling from the NW at about 45 degrees, give or take, from the horizon. It seemed to be soaring, so for a split second I thought it was a bird but I kept watching, and it appeared to be round and disc shaped, no wings/tail, completely round or possibly ovular, dark colored/probably black, maybe dark chrome colored, and it reflected light as it rotated so I think it was constructed of something reflective/shiny/solid with no markings. I did not notice any lights. It moved in a steady arc across the sky above me slightly over my left shoulder so not directly overhead but over the south eastern part of the sky. I ran inside to grab my phone (only ! took me a few seconds) and tried to turn my video camera on but didn’t press the start button, only switched it from photo to video (I thought I was video recording it, but I wasn’t unfortunately). The entire sighting lasted somewhere between 30 and 60 seconds approximately. The object was small, smaller than the sun would be, and it seemed to be at a relatively high altitude. When it rotated it did so in a sporadic manner and didn’t change course/trajectory. It sometimes remained stable without spinning (still maintaining the same speed) for a few seconds give or take and then it would rotate in varying directions. The object didn’t emit any sound or trail. It just kept going on it’s course until it was behind the treeline in the NE and I couldn't see it anymore. I live in SE Portland close to Hwy 205 and Stark. Very close to the SE Portland Police Bureau: East Precinct.

I took 4 pictures of odd looking cloud formations and later, when I zoomed in to look at details, I discovered 2 UFO’s. Clearly visible in the 3rd picture. First and largest is toward center of photo and is round. Second is lower towards tree line in the picture and it is saucer shaped. I took the photo in “ live” mode and you can see distinct movement of the large round UFO from the first to last frame in the “live” photo series.

Glendale, AZ
On 1/18/21 at approx 23:15 hours in Glendale, AZ, I was driving home from work when I noticed a large object hovering in front of me toward the west, maybe near bell rd and the 101. The object was a few miles away but I could distinctly see the outline of the object because the sky behind it was much darker, whereas the UFO was more grayish looking. If was moving around in no particular pattern but it seemed to be moving relatively slowly as it was hovering. I continued to stare at it for about 15 seconds, during this time it did not have any lights on it, all I could see was the shape of the object, which was exactly like what all the stereotypical drawings of what flying saucers look like. It was like a disk shape at the bottom, and then a rounded ball shape towards the top. I know it sounds crazy, and I’m not usually any kind of conspiracy theorist, I don’t do drugs or drink. I work in law enforcement and was completely sober when I saw this, so it was no! t a hallucination. After about 15 seconds of seeing it with no lights on it, I saw it slowly begin to light up gradually into a yellowish shade, but only at the very bottom of the object. At first I told myself maybe it was just the moon, as it took kind of like a crescent shape from my perspective, however the moon was in a completely different area of the sky, and the crescent shape of the moon should have been facing another way if that was the case. I kept staring at it, the light was way too big to be any kind of plane or helicopter. Maybe 15 more seconds went by, and I watched the light slowly fade and dim. Not like the object had flown away... more like someone had turned off the light, and it slowly faded out. After the light turned off I was no longer able to see the outline of the object like I could before the light had come on. I think whatever it was turned off it’s light first and then decided to take off very quickly.

Witness and a buddy were taking a walk in the woods near his house. His buddy sighted the silver disc craft first, and using their cell phone zoomed in on the object and started taking 3 pictures. After hovering for about 5 minutes, the craft moved at unbelievable speed, first left, then right, then zoomed up and away as the witness described it “at a speed faster than anything they had ever seen”. Witness seems very credible and stable. This potential sighting of interest was investigated by MUFON and was given the conclusion of "Unknown UAV", closed, and approved. (CMS 113331, Larry Tyree). [Rating increased from 20 to 70 in favor of a close encounter II, photographic evidence of a structured object]

We were driving down the route and saw what seemed to be one craft with four lights in somewhat or a saucer or diamond shape move horizontally across the sky then seem to tail along straight adhacent to the vehicle. Lights moved across for about 40 seconds then disapeared. It displayed odd ight pattern and was abnormally bright.

There was an orange light that was hovering. I went further out into my yard and I could then see some blue, green, and red lights. It seemed to be partly covered by clouds but what I made out was a saucer shape with a dome on top. I came inside for a bit to warm up and when I went back out it was gone. I then seen that a friend of mine on facebook that lives about 7 miles away posted asking if any one had seen green lights falling from the sky.

Middletown, KY
When originally spotted it had red lights on that where in a saucer or disc shape. The object was moving left to right and stopping on a dime. At first we thought it could be a drone but I thought the altitude was too high for any civilian drone that I know of. At one point the object descended a straight down very quickly and was out of our sight for about a minute and a half. If then resurfaced what would be about a half a mile away this time it went to an even higher altitude than it was at originally. And then in one sweeping motion it descended once again about 75 feet in a sweeping motion and went to the right for about a mile and then stopped. It stayed in that location for roughly 6 to 10 minutes going back and forth left to right. After that it went back to the left again and descended one more time, again dropping straight down. About five minutes later it resurfaced for the last time it still had red lights at this time. Is final flight came towar! ds us and off to our left slightly and gave us the opportunity to get a better look at it. As it was coming towards us the entire light pattern changed and it changed into the pattern that I can say only perfectly resembles that of a common airplane and as it passed us it continued on a perfectly straight flight pattern and looked exactly like a common commercial aircraft as far as the lighting. Then it just continued on that that flight pattern until it was out of our sight.

Mt.Tremper NY, NY
It was 4 in the morning and I still had not fallen asleep because I felt very uneasy and overall "off". Im looking out my bedroom window where in the distance I see what looks like a blinking cellular tower (but we live in the middle of nowhere) I then spot a medium sized saucer with white and red lights, that's spinning and moving toward the blinking light. (Im assuming the blinking light was also another ufo) The saucer wasn't moving very fast, and I got a pretty good look at it while it was moving. I was in shock while staring at it, and found myself hyperventilating and unable to move. After it traveled out of eyes view, I woke up my brother to tell him what happened and he slept in the room with me for the rest of the night. We both stayed up looking out the window, when we see another identical ufo going in the exact same path as the previous one. Then about 30 minutes later, another one comes from the opposite direction, also disappearing i! nto the horizon. In around 45 minutes to an hour, a huge green glowing triangular shaped object comes from the same direction as the first 2, while its red and white lights are turning on and off in a wave formation as it ascends. Not even 20 seconds later, from the opposite direction again, comes another ufo. This one almost appears to be "broken", its lights are flickering on and off while it rocks back and forth similar to a boat on rough waters. At this point I could see both of them moving at the same time. All of these ufos disappeared into the horizon, while maintaining their flickering lights. I am positive these were not airplanes, as we are in a very remote area, never see planes, and they were flying way to low to be a commercial jet. After the first initial sighting, I was up all night looking for answers, and did not expect to see 4 more ufos.

Eagle Lake, ME
This was the most incredible thing I ever saw. It was like something right out of a movie. I would have tried to capture it on video, but I really thought it was just a small car, or a couple of snowmobiles, until it took off, and by then it was too late, because it took off too fast. I live next to a school, which is now closed and abandoned. On one side of the school is a baseball field and a soccer field. The soccer field is behind the baseball field, and it is surrounded by bushes and trees. There is a small hill beyond this area, which leads to where I live. When I look out my kitchen window, I can see part of the baseball field, as well as some of the bushes and trees which surround the soccer field. So what happened was I was eating supper at my kitchen table and glancing out my kitchen window every so often while I ate, which is what I usually do. It was completely dark outside and the light I was eating by in the kitchen was only very dim. I usually like to eat eat in semi-darkness like this. Well, I was about halfway through my meal when I noticed three dim lights out my window- two white lights and one red light. The lights were lined up in a row, which seemed to be curved slightly. I judged the distance of the object(or objects) to be right about between the baseball field and the soccer field, right behind some of the bushes and trees. At first I didn’t think much of it because I figured it was either a small car or a couple of snowmobiles, even though I didn’t see any exhaust and I didn’t hear any sound. Anyway, the object just sat there in front of me, without moving, for about 35 minutes. I finished eating, all the while keeping an eye on it. When I was finished eating, I decided to sit and watch it for awhile, to see what would happen, to see where it would go. And I was still almost completely convinced it was just a small car, or a couple of snowmobiles, even though I thought it was a strange place for someone to be parking- especially considering that the school has been closed and abandoned for quite a long time now. It didn’t take long for things to start getting both weird and fascinating. As I was sitting there in the semi-darkness staring at it, suddenly one of the white lights got really bright, like a really bright flashlight. Then the light started to rotate! Shortly after that, the object began moving along the ground towards the bushes, and, therefore, closer to me. When it reached the bushes, the entire middlle area lit up with bright white light and started to rotate! Even though it never went completely through the trees to the building where I lived, it came close enough to me so that I thought I saw windows! The windows were all lit up with bright white light, and they were rotating about the middle! It continued moving slowly along the trees like this, still without making any sound, and without giving off any exhaust! I could even see the light reflecting off the trees! Well, eventually, after about thirty seconds or so, it reached the end of the soccer field. At that point I expected to see it fly off into the sky, but instead the weirdness continued. Instead of flying off into the sky, it appeared to fly right into the trees, but without disturbing the trees at all, except for reflecting bright white light off them. Then the light went out and it disappeared! It seemed to just wink out of existence! Then it was gone. And everything was completely dark again. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life- and I’m a 49-year-old disabled male. I’ve actually been wishing that it would return and make a repeat performance, if for no other reason than so I could capture it on video.

Long Island, NY
We were driving down the Long Island Expressway still in Nassau County driving East into Suffolk County, and half joking/half confused, my husband said look it’s a UFO. I looked up, and I start shaking I have never in my life seen something so enormous & clear. It looked like it was out of a movie, it took me a while to start taking because I was so nervous, so the camera footage is when we had moved some distance away. It was foggy & windy, but so clearly the shape was an upper circular dome and a lower circular dome then a huge flat circular disk around it. There was lights around the entire disk and then a bright one on the top of the upper dome. The bottom dome had a red light that was explosive & twice the bottom seemed to explode with red light and a strong fat light beam would shoot from the bottom then suck itself back in. Almost like a huge smoke cloud explosion that shoots in a straight beam then back in as if someone was rewinding it back in. It’s! so hard to explain. And it traveled very level with me the whole time I taped and eventually we kept driving it drifted into the fog. The shape, size, light activity, structure, beam are nothing I have ever seen in my entire lift!!! The ufo shape & beam are very clearly seen in the beginning of the video and half a second after the 12 second mark, the entire thing explodes with light and the whole structure can be seen.

Me and my wife was out headed west towards Cypress Point beach in Tampa to view and photograph sights of the Jupiter moon. While on our way we happened to snap a shot of the skyline while driving (and without looking up) and proceeded to head towards the beach to view the bright orange moon. However, It wasn’t until we got back home before finding out that there was something else in the air in the photo/video. The good thing about the picture is that it was snapped on the IPhone live shot; so it’s actually a short video. •From the looks of the picture/video: the object is disc shaped with a small red orb leading it• We did not witness this with our own two eyes, we only happen to snap the shot and seen it on our photo.

I submitted my report a couple years back and my picture was not attached. I’ve emailed (2-3 times) and even spoke to someone on the hotline and was informed to resubmit my report so that you can attach the photo to my report. Thank you
