I ALWAYS look up into the night sky and have seen dot’s (3 ufos to be exact) in the sky that have maneuvered in ways a satellite and planes cannot perform. However, this was my first sighting of a mother ship!!! In the northern sky heading west to east I saw and object that was about 6 to 8 inches long from my point of view. There was no sound at all. It had 6 lights with the second light from the rear being slightly larger than the other 5, example:(oOoooo) on a cigar/cylinder shaped object and it was moving slightly faster than a satellite. If this object was in low earth orbit, it was over a mile in length. If it was in the inner atmosphere then it was at least a quarter to half mile long! I wish I could tell the exact height in the sky to give you a better description of the size, but I just don’t know. I really hope somebody else saw this object in the sky as this sighting kind of freaked me out. Something that big moving through the sky has had a profound effect on me as this was most likely a once in a life time event. Thank you for your service!

Kratzerville, PA
It was sometime after 8 PM, still daylight. The event lasted appx. 30 seconds. There were four of us in the vehicle and we all seen this take place. were heading towards New Berlin from Kratzerville on 204, where the road slightly bends to the right just past Salem Road. I was sitting in the back seat with my headphones in when I noticed something far out in the distance (at least a ½ mile away) that looked like it was hovering over a field. I took out my headphones to ask everyone else If they could see what I was seeing but before I finished the words, our driver was already slowing down because the thing I seen hovering out in the field quickly darted our direction. It looked kind of like a greyish drone version of R2D2, it was shaped in the same manner and had lights around it. It was SERIOUSLY low and it stopped dead right above us, I mean it was practically on top of us. As soon as it got there, we then noticed it was being trailed by a fighter jet! (we all agreed was either an F-22 or F-35.) The trailing jet was also seemingly able to “stop dead” just as the R2D2-looking drone thing was… then in a split second the R2D2 drone took off straight up into the sky, and the jet launched into the sky at the same 90-degree angle. The speed that they were both going was UNREAL and unlike anything we had experienced before. The radio was on so we couldn’t really tell how much noise they were making or anything. I have to make note that this is a very remote location with very few homes in the area.

My neighbor, wife and I saw several flying objects from southeast to northwest around 1800... I guess about 10k feet. It was one of five objects about 10 minutes apart. Looking through my rifle scope, I could not observe any wings or chem trails. This picture (I'll send to address below) does not give any justice of what we think it is… I have seen drones while in Iraq and did not long anything like one! They were traveling about 10 minutes apart in the same direction and height. No doubt that they were cylinder shaped and shinny. Could not see any windows or ports holes. My hair on my next was surely rising on my neck!!

Pittston, PA
From an elevated location – saw a dark grey cylinder object move across the sky from a SW to E direction. No noise heard, could not determine distance away accurately. The day was overcast. As the object moved towards the East it became harder to see as I may have been looking at the back of the cylinder.

Ballston Lake, NY
I was walking my dog and looked up, a "tic-tac" white craft was floating southwest of my location, completely silent. It looked as if there might have been windows? I grabbed my phone quick to record it as it was floating away from my location, however the sun was very bright at this time so I had a hard time seeing the screen, but DID record the location of the craft. When I returned home there was absolutely NOTHING recorded but an empty sky and I am completely baffled. I know what I saw and it was definitely there.

It was located near the moon, but not too close to it. Every now and again, it would raise up, and nobody could see it. After about 30 seconds, it would lower back down, and become more visible. As we were driving, a car was on the side of the road, he had no flat tires, not out of fuel, the hood was up and the engine was fine. It had just stopped working, abd from the looks of it, due to magnetic/electric effects from the object. I didn't think it looked like a satellite, however, it may be.

Babylon, NY
Out my window in the distance, I observed a very bright white light with no defined shape moving low and very slowly, almost hovering, I was looking for the northern lights tonight that may be seen in NY, a rare occurrence. At first I thought this white light was part of it but quickly understood that it wasn’t. It was dark and in comparison to a plane in the sky at the same time with flashing lights I determined after a few moments that this was not a plane and I could not understand what it was. We live off the coast by the water and in a busy flight path, so I am familiar with seeing planes. After taking my eye off of it for a second, I looked again and noticed that the object turned right and was going in the opposite direction. It was quite a distance away, but it looked circular/slightly oval, black with a bright white light. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Witnessed a cylinder at a great elevation hang in a spot... it moved vertically and horizontally with great quickness... it seemed to jerk into a new position periodically... every few minutes…

Spokane Valley, WA
On March 13, 2019, approximately 6:30pm I was driving west in the Spokane Valley, WA, and saw 3 cylinder objects in the sky. I thought they were jets at first but could see that they were not because they were long silver cylinders in shape and not moving with lights. There was no white smoke coming from them either like jets. The 3 long cylinders were placed in a half moon shape. The sky was clear. I noticed off to the left but looked far from them was a jet for sure because it had a trail of white smoke. I was concerned and went home as fast as I could. Called my brother about it and he told me to report it on your sight. Do you know what these cylinders are?

Approximately 7:47 am, we all noticed one bright light and two smaller/dimmer lights directly in line and behind it coming down at an extremely sharp angle like it was a plane coming in for a landing near the airport (there was no sound) the lights appeared to turn away from us slightly during descent and then simply and instantly disappeared. Lights appeared almost squarish shape on a long thin object.

Le 06 février 2019 à 6h30 un automobiliste aperçoit dans son rétroviseur un phénomène lumineux cylindrique et blanchâtre éclairant la route. Le PAN passe devant son véhicule et éclaire l'intérieur de ce dernier. Le témoin surpris s'arrête et descend du véhicule. Le PAN a disparu. Aucun bruit particulier n'a été entendu. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli au GEIPAN. Une hypothèse est privilégiée : une méprise avec un bolide (voir le compte-rendu d'enquête). La description du PAN rappelle, en effet, très fortement un météore très lumineux, appelé bolide : forme cylindrique accompagnée d’un faisceau lumineux, déplacement très rapide et silencieux, observation de plusieurs secondes. Il est à noter que le réseau FRIPON n’a enregistré aucun bolide dans le Nord-Est de la France durant la nuit du 05 au 06 février 2019. Le seul événement concerne le Sud du pays. Toutefois, plusieurs bolides ont été signalés le 06 février 2019 en fin de nuit. Le réseau BOAM a ainsi enregistré 4 bolides entre 05h00 UT et 06h00 UT, c’est-à-dire entre 06h00 et 07h00 . Tous ont été enregistrés par la station LITIK 1, située à Fléville-devant-Nancy (54), c’est-à-dire dans un secteur cohérent avec le PAN (Figure 9). Ce cas présente une consistance faible dans la mesure où le témoin est unique et qu’aucune photo ou croquis du PAN n’ont été fournis. De plus, le témoin a seulement déposé un témoignage en Gendarmerie, sans remplir le Questionnaire Terrestre (QT) du GEIPAN. De ce fait, de nombreux éléments de témoignage sont inconnus. Cependant, la description du PAN évoque fortement un phénomène astronomique connu. D’étrangeté assez faible et de faible consistance (témoin unique, pas de photo du PAN, pas de QT rempli), ce cas s’avère être une méprise probable avec un bolide. La description du PAN se rapporte en effet, très fortement à cette hypothèse explicative. Plusieurs bolides ont d’ailleurs été enregistrés dans le Nord-Est de la France et en Allemagne le 06 février 2019 entre 06h00 et 07h00 heure légale. Toutefois, aucun d’entre eux ne peut être relié formellement à l’observation, dans la mesure où le témoin est unique et du manque d’éléments dans le témoignage. Le cas est classé B, méprise probable avec un bolide. [GEIPAN classification B — Bolide]

Webster, NY
It was close to midnight and it was frigid outside, clear and windy. I live on the shore of Lake Ontario and waves were forming ice walls along the shoreline. I went outside to have a smoke and had been outside facing south away from the lake looking towards the road, I turned to face the lake (north and windward) And my jaw dropped as I saw a very large craft with lights on the the side facing me, can’t really say how many because the lights would go on or off and change color. Colors were red, green, yellow, blue or white and the off and on or off color changing showed no discernible pattern as far as I could tell. There were always 4 to six lit at a time. I stood spellbound as I watched the craft slowly fly west, or hover west and then stop and move backwards approximately 1/2 mile or so, craft appeared to be about a mile offshore with an altitude of 1000 to 1500 feet. It stopped and started moving west and then I thought of my phone and capturing a video thinking this is why there aren’t a lot of videos or photos of these sightings. I grabbed my phone and headed back out while opening the camera app and ran outside looked up and it was still there as I brought the phone up and hitting record but before I could get the record started the craft rapidly moved west then flashed and shrunk to just a dot of light in the sky which I was recording but all the video showed was darkness when replayed. I had only been inside I’d say 8 to 10 seconds max.... again the thought came to me about why there aren’t more videos/photos of these events, guess I know now. To finish I’ll add there was a lack of sound and again the craft was very large, I’d say about the size of 3 aircraft carriers end to end and there were no other craft flying with it.

On my way back from the store, I looked into the night sky, the clouds were an orange hue. At a 45 degree angle to the north, I noticed three thick, cylindrical, dark orange glowing lights flying in a triangle with quite a bit of distance between them. I thought it was a convoy of helicopters until they flew together quickly then split into a L-shape, two of the glowing lights headed high into the east and were out of sight, the last glowing light went higher into the night sky headed north and disappeared. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sincere and serious-minded. We suspect that she is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD

I saw no lights or coloring on object. Felt like I was looking at some sort of engine part that was solid black floating in the sky. I originally thought it was a drone as my neighbor has one and i see it often. I thought the horizontal rod was a blade but realized it wasn't spinning. I ran out the front door two seconds after it left my view from the window it was gone. It also occurred to me that if it were one of the neighbors drones it would have been out of their eyesight and would not have flown it that far. I looked out the back window across the horse pasture where said neighbors would have been flying the drone from they were not there. Nor could the drone flown fast enough to completely vanish from sight after a two second gap. Nor did I hear any sounds that usually accompanies a drone. I have no idea on the real size of the thing based on the fact that I have no idea how far away it was. It was against the gray cloudy sky and did not pass any objects that could have given me a rough guess on size. It was definitely odd shaped and fast moving. I would not have been able to have been quick enough to take a picture if i had my phone camera on and with me, it was only there for a few seconds. Not sure what it could have been but after some research into drones have concluded that no one has made a drone of that shape as of yet. I went back inside after looking at the sky for a minute and immediately grabbed a paper and pencil and wrote down and drew a rough sketch of what I saw.

It was around 12 PM me and my friends were watching a party from the other side of the road and a big boom draws our attention in this orange cylinder object goes extremely fast like it’s kind of unexplainable but it went across the whole sky around five seconds after exciting we went and saw it was on the news nothing was reported I share the story now because I’m watching ancient aliens and I would like you guys to know about this.
