Delray Beach, FL

Object flew from the area of Atlantic Ave south about 1/2 miles, hoovered for about 30 seconds, then north. Lights looked like a Christmas tree. Was too big to be a drone.

Riding us 42 east, notice a large object worth red, orange, white lights, heard no noise, later it moved further away, then a white round light flashed by object, was actually freaked out to see something like this, brother had been telling us he's seen for months on different nights.

Virginia Beach, VA

It flew pretty much the same areas the jets fly but went straight off into the SE direction. Very strange and I wondered how that could actually fly being a rectangle. Since it was there in broad daylight, I assumed it must be military…I saw it for about 2 to 3 minutes as it went slowly by.

Arcadia, OK

When turning our horses out into the pasture at approximately 9:45 pm, my wife and I looked up and saw a large craft, approximately 300 feet long and 2500 feet high, moving slowly from SSW to NNE. It made a very low none engine sound. Did not sound like a jet. The craft was moving extremely slowly, with 3 white lights in front in a triangle formation, and 4 white lights in the rear in a perfect square, the space between the front and rear lights was black with no stars visible. Had one red light flashing in the bottom center of the 4 white lights in the rear of the craft. Also observed flashes of light in the area until craft was no longer visible overhead.

Covington, KY

I have never seen anything like this. Very bright orange color with a flame like body. They appeared to be 'segmented' objects. A cigar shape only flying vertically. Moving like nothing that I have ever seen. The 2 fly off and disappear. Then a 3rd appeared, dimmly. It seemed to be cloaked or less pronounced.

Columbus, OH

Walking into work in downtown Columbus, and I noticed a glare from the sky. I looked up and there was a rectangular like shape flying in the sky. I thought it was a plane at first glance, but then I realized it was way too far for it to have such a strong glare. It felt like the object had lights projecting off the sides because it was so bright. My eyes started watering from how bright it was and I couldn't look away, but I could see that there was no bulging shapes like one would see on a plane. It was remarkable and then it flew over a building and I could no longer see it. Easily the most bizarre moment of my life. Keep in mind, it was almost three in the afternoon with zero clouds in the sky, so this object was almost like an immense mirror flying at a distance. Zero chance a regular airplane has a glare that makes my eyes water from that distance.

Philadelphia, PA

Large invisible/black rectangular craft with red and green lights at the corners. As soon as I realized what I was seeing. I tried to get the attention of a couple a half city block over but the elevated train drowned my yelling. 20 seconds later it sped off at an unbelievable speed, silently South East direction.

Middletown, NJ

My father had been in the back yard when he saw a rectangular figure with round lights. They were red, green, and white. I came outside when I heard him say, "Something's going on out here!" We watched it rise to an altitude lower than an airplane. Hard to say how big it was. In approximately one minute it maneuvered very quickly to the southwest, without making a 180 degree turn. Just seemed to go in reverse. Then it disappeared below the horizon.

Blaine, TN

Three sets of 2 red lights each light stacked on top of the other. Visualize left to right two lights spaced evenly forming a rectangular shape. The lights on the bottom stayed steady while those above flashed in Sequences. The two outer sets were spaced further apart than the set in the middle. They stayed about 10 degrees above horizon. Going 16 miles north on rutledge pike them looking south they appear to be SSE. It is nearly midnight and they are still in same location.

North Chesterfield, VA

I observed an object in the sky, WNW (from my front step assuming it faced true due north). The range is very difficult to determine. Maybe 50 miles, give or take 20 miles. Approximately 35° above the horizon. The object appeared to move down toward the tree line very slowly with either 3 or 4 lights for about 2-3 seconds. Then turned left (South) at 4 times the speed for about 3-4 seconds. At that point I got to my feet and walked towards the object only to have the neighbor's side light cause the object's lights shine without the same intensity. Then the object turned back to the original direction at half the speed (1-2 seconds) until I lost it behind the tree line. 2 things that sparked my curiosity where how quickly the object changed direction and absolutely no sound whatsoever

Warsaw, MO

I was traveling home on Highway 7 and as I was just about to cross the Long Shoals Bridge over Truman Lake, I saw 3-5 elongated very bright white lights low in the eastern sky. They appeared to be on a rectangular or cylinder-shaped object. It was visible for only several seconds and then disappeared. Shortly after crossing the bridge, I again saw the lights which appeared almost as flames on a long, thin object. The object did not appear to be moving. It went totally black within a few seconds and then disappeared. There were no clouds in the sky, or noise of passing helicopters or planes.

Asheville, NC

Was walking up the stairs to my apartment in North Asheville across from UNCA. Saw a small bright white light (like a bright star). Moved slowly from left of sky to right. Light was slowly and closely passed alongside by a small rectangular craft, looking almost like a small shuttle pod or craft of some sort (*note* no visible wings on craft, it was small possibly the size of a large minivan). The craft showed l faintly blinking red and green lights. Shortly after the UFO’s passed each other the white light craft stoped and stayed stationary (it is still there to my knowledge). The other craft had vanished.

Henrico, VA

Sometime around 12:30-1:30 a.m., I observed a strange lit shape in the sky. I’m not really sure of the time because I was out on the deck after being awaken by a storm brewing and was intent on getting things secured on my back deck. It could have been as late as 2:00 a.m. but I know I had gone back to bed/asleep and then up again at 3:00 a.m. for a bathroom trip. It wouldn’t be before 12:30 as Perry Mason that I watch at 11:30 p.m. EST was off. The day (Thursday) prior had cleared off to sunny clear skies in the late afternoon so I was surprised to be awakened by all the thunder and lightning though it wasn’t raining yet. I could tell there was a fair amount of wind and I wanted to check if I had lowered my umbrella in case it got worse. After making sure all was secure, I was standing at the rail marveling at the cool breeze that felt heavenly after days of sticky humidity. It was then that I looked up and noticed there were still very large bright pat! ches of open dark sky with the imposing clouds all around those clear sections. My deck faces straight out towards southwest with no trees, or structures anywhere to block my view in all directions. I was standing at my deck rail looking out sorta southeast towards the end of the deck - observing the clouds and large open areas and looking for any stars. I was also wondering if the lightening was getting bad enough that maybe I should go in. That was when I saw way up where planes would normally be spotted, a narrow rectangle shape with 3 bright lights single file down the length though there might have been a 4th and the lights appeared to be circular but being so far away couldn’t be sure. I thought it looked a little strange; however, our area’s major airport is located over in the eastern part of Henrico county. At first glance, I figured it was a plane though it didn’t look like other planes or helicopters I had seen at night. They usually have a flashing light(s) ! and you can see the wing lights but nothing like this was seen! - just the single file lights. I did see in lightening flashes a faint maybe triangle outline but really not sure. One flash I would see it, the next not, and again nothing like a plane or helicopter. The sky was pretty bright - maybe the moon had been out but was now under the clouds. Honestly, I didn’t think about looking for the moon and it’s location until I was back inside and the shape was gone. Anyway I kept looking and it didn’t seem to be moving at all but then a few sorta short slow jerky movements upwards/forward but nothing like a plane makes so I started thing of a helicopter again maybe in a holding observation pattern. And the movement was so quick without any discernible distance - not sure if it really moved or shook - there was just some sort of change. I thought about a weather ballon but that didn’t seem to be the case either. I even thought of maybe a plane in a holding pattern but they circle in a wide pattern and you can tell they are moving. This lit s! hape wasn’t moving forwards, backwards or circling. I was keeping watch on the cloud movement along with the object’s position relative to me and the garage next door. I kept watching for a few minutes - it was in a very open part of the sky, and I took my eye off the sky for just a second to smack at a mosquito, when I looked back up it had disappeared - no lights or shape anywhere. There hadn’t been any sounds other than the storm. However, earlier I had heard plane sounds as is normal here day and night. The airport is about 30-40 minutes up the highway. And quite often I watch them at night (while sitting on the deck) flying to and from the airport or circling - I had never seen anything quite like this before in terms of being there and then just as quick gone. It was like they flipped a switch and the lights were turned off. The sky was too clear and open for it to pass behind a cloud. If it had done that, it would have come back into view and it didn’t but ! there weren’t any clouds where it was located. I have seen we! ird ligh ts in the sky before but have always been able to figure that they were probably a plane or helicopter. But this was different and I have never made a report, and in fact, I don’t follow UFO stuff at all. However, like many folks, you wonder if we are here -what keeps other “beings” from being out and about. There is probably a likely explanation, but found this site looking to see if anyone else saw it. Don’t want to be contacted, or any personal information to be used nor to be added to any other mailing lists etc. Just wanted to report it in case someone else saw something similar at the same time and area.

Mesa, AZ

As I watched the sun set and planes making their way to Sky Harbor airport, I noticed a black, square aircraft almost directly overhead. It was much further away compared to the planes heading to the airport. And it didn’t move much. Watching for a few minutes, I saw that when it did move, it was slow and bobbing. This was potentially a balloon or drone. But it would have to be jet sized or bigger, judging by the planes for reference. The craft was too far away to take a meaningful picture. It was just too small. But I ran inside to get some binoculars just in case they would help show some detail. I came back outside less than 60 seconds later, and it was gone without a trace. Nothing in the sky either above, or on the horizon. It was far too slow to have moved completely over the horizon or up out of sight in less than a minute. After a brief search, I’d say the closest similar sighting is one recorded in McAllen, Texas, on Dec 6th 2014. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))

Monroe, OH

Observer was driving down Hwy 63 and noticed a large, rectangular object in the sky. At first It was thought ito be a sign being flown above a building, but as the witness neared the highway, it was realized that the object was moving across the sky. The next thing thought was that of a sign being pulled by an airplane, but there were no other aircraft in the sky. The object was moving in a straight, smooth line. When the witness got to the light before the left turn onto I-75, a short video was taken. The movement was seemless and straight with no flapping edges or moving parts. Eventually the turn at a stop light which had changed to green, caused the object to be lost to sight.

Burbank, CA

Incident Report: The following is a report of the occurrences of the evening of 5/5/18 in Burbank, CA, at 7:32 PM. While speaking with a family member on my cell phone in my own backyard, I looked up into the due westerly direction of the dusk sky (which occured at 7:30 PM that evening) I noticed something approaching in the sky at approximately a 35 degree angle to my reference on the ground. I thought it looked like a mylar balloon or at least a highly reflective metal of some kind. I quickly realized the object was actually moving in my direction, slowly it appeared at first. I cannot say for certain but I would have put its altitude at approximately 300-500 ft. As it approached, I noticed that it had flat sides on the top and the bottom of the object and was a diamond type of shape, with 8 sides. Four equal sides on top and four below, similar to two pyramids turned towards each other at the base. The lower portion of the object coming into clear view as it passed at 90 degrees to me I could see that it too had four equal sides matching the top. The underside seeming slightly darker, I imagine, because of its reference to the falling sun on the upper portion of the object. The sky was lit by a fair amount of sunlight still. The object made no sound whatsoever. It left no trail of exhaust or describable propulsion of any kind that I could see. I was shocked to see the object traveled more or less directly over my home and continued on a due easterly direction at a speed that I also cannot say for certain however, again, if having to choose a speed I would say it maintained a speed of between 50-100 mph. Probably closer to the 50 side I believe. I had the presence of mind while it was directly over me to open up my camera app and start snapping in its now eastern reference to me at about 30 degrees where it passed behind some trees and I lost sight of it. I just aimed in the objects direction snapping two photographs as it was on its easterly course just before it passed out of view. Information embedded in the photos state the time of the photos at 7:32 PM establishing the exact time of the occurrence. I had approximately a 120 degree view of the sky and it completely passed through that view in that 20-30 seconds. The object in the pictures can be seen at just above and to the right of the tree. Upon zooming in the flat sides of the object as well as its diamond shape can be discerned. If comparing its size to the full moon I would have to say that at its closest point, when at a 90 degree reference to me, it would have been about the size of the full moon itself. Interestingly, the path of the object appeared to violate FAA airspace as it crossed the north/south orientation of both outgoing and incoming air lanes about a mile from the south end of the runway at Bob Hope Ineternational Airport. I live just south of the airport and see the planes using these air lanes all day. Perhaps related, or perhaps not, I wanted to mention that perhaps 20 minutes prior to the incident I witnessed four black hawk helicopters in a line formation coming into what appeared to be a landing at the airport from the south. I have no idea if this is related or coincidence. The helicopters had no describable insignia that I can recall. All black. Attached are the two photographs I took. Regards, ((name deleted))
