Driving down highway with girlfriend near three mile island (tmi) nuclear power plant within 5 miles. Cylinder shape metal object right over head and in front of us on highway. Sparkled in sun reflection. Tilted at about a 45 degree angle both poles of the object one pointed at sky other at the ground and was moving directly away from us opposite of the way it appeared to be pointed. Was moving oddly fast when we first noticed it moving away from us overhead like following the highway and then it increased speed rapidly and shot off and disappeared in a second. I followed it with my eyes or at least tried to it literally shot off and got tiny really fast showing distance and disappeared ahead in a smooth but sudden and lightning fast acceleration and was gone. Clear blue open sky sunny out at the time we saw it. Girlfriend and I both saw it.

It was two space ships one illuminated the sky and the other followed it. it had a cylinder shape and was leaving traces of smoke that was shinning. Rocket launch at 5:27 p.m.. We have changed the time indicated by the witness, to reflect an afternoon launch. PD

I was looking out of my window and saw what was clearly a plane with a short lasting contrail following the plane. I was inside so I’m not sure if there was a clear sound. Either way it looked like a normal plane. I first noticed it flying out of the southwest and it continued to fly into the northwestern part of the sky. Suddenly, I noticed a second flying object and it wasn’t leaving a contrail, it just flew into the area i happened to be looking at from a lower altitude. The second object appeared white but it may have been a different color since stuff up high usually looks lighter than what it really is but it looked kinda like a pill shape and continued to fly into the contrails of the airplane quickly. It wasn’t flying abrutly but it was making maneuvers that I think would be difficult for a plane to make. Then both of the objects moved out of my line of sight.

West Jefferson, OH
From the east (near Us Rt 40) notice a bright light in the distance moving west. I had a FlightAware app on my phone and there was not any commercial aircraft in my area. The light came closer to the ground and a white cylinder appeared in sky. It was traveling west with no emissions. It was traveling too fast to be a balloon. My first thought it was the ISS, but it was over South America at the time I seen the object.

Rutland, VT
On Sunday November 19th, 2017, my kids and I were heading home back to NY on route 4 when we noticed a large object hovering just south of us on RTE 4 heading west. We just drove though the city of Rutland and we were in the South Western part of the city. It was cylinder shape. Almost like a yo yo. It had two stacks of lights. Some were square and some were spherical. The lights changed colors mostly, almost like a color wheel. There was some overcast so the colors would dissipate in the clouds. My daughter had made and I had seen an object like that when I was 10 or 11. Now I am 50.

Beaver, UT
After crossing to the west side of I-15 the object changed direction to approach 6 or 7 military craft flying wingtip to wingtip toward the north. The object seemed to be approaching at such a speed that I felt sure it was going to crash into the military aircraft on the eastern end of the formation, but it came to a sudden stop as it got very close and continued to keep pace with the line of jets traveling north for a few seconds. It detached itself from the jets then approached more overhead toward Beaver, Utah when it entered a sparse cloud that was a little larger than the craft where it stopped then merely quickly vanished. The cloud wasn't affected by the vanishing of the object. The next day there was a lot of military aircraft forming a dome over Beaver County of various types of craft. This lasted for about two weeks during daylight hours, and I had the impression they were interested in trying to find information on the vanishing of strange craft of the day before. When I first saw the craft I remember thinking, "That thing has no wings." Thus was my surprise at first seeing the object. I also recall thinking there would surely be plenty of news about such an object as Beaver is a small town of about 3,000 population.

Edmond, OK
I was walking my dog outside in North Edmond, when I noticed 3 small objects blinking red and green (which I have seen quite often), but out of nowhere a dark non-lighted slender cylinder object moved slowly across the sky in a snake-like fashion. It lasted for about 20 seconds. I was not able to get it on film because it was so dark outside and the object was also dark.

Minneola, KS
Watched a bright ball slowly move across the sky with a couple random “sprints”. It would randomly alternate color from a bright white to a deep red. There was no pattern in the time each color was held or the colors it changed too. I had gone out side to smoke while I talked to a buddy on the phone, I noticed an abnormally bright “star” on the left side of a radio tower. I chalked it up to nothing, after about 10 minutes I looked up and noticed it had moved to the right side of the pole and was no pulsing with different colors. As I watched it returned to a pale yellow. I continued to watch as it would occasionally “sprint” a short distance. This went on till my cousin showed up about 30 minutes into the experience. We watched till his shift ended (county sheriff) and he returned home. I went back inside as it was a bit chilly.

For the size/diameter of the body it was moving a lot slower than a jet... it wasn’t a large ballon or a Goodyear blimp. pretty big in diameter and moving slower than a chair and it didn’t have wings or exhaust coming out the back

Yuma, AZ
Driving West of Yuma on I 8 headed to Calexico, Ca, I looked to my left and visibly could see a flashing Red lite blinking and a white lite flashing flying rite beside my husband's head out the window! We both have spotted several Drones small & Big in the last month or so Every where and in 4 different States now with our Company OTR Truck Drivers, so this wasn't new so I took several pictures this time! We decided to take our break on the exit ahead to scope this all out !! Being fascinated with the sky started looking harder more frequently at this point of the evening and discovered for 100% positive that were actually getting to see either Border Patrol or our nation's government at their finest of the latest Border Wall or something and 3 weird shaped brute lite even a dull kill orange disc looking object above them 1 looked to be a really fast darting object and a real big circle lite zooming in and out of distance from me and 1 object with a round brut! e lite that turns off & on periodically at me that stayed way up in the sky all evening ! The moon was very big and brute all nite and we could see everything that was moving above clearly ! Today I am very skeptical of what my husband and I Both saw last nite and I am not hesitant to say that more Reports of this activity will be filed with the proper authorities today .

Observed what I thought was a drone, or satellite, 9/26, 9/27, 9/28 of this week. I started taking pictures and the object would move as I was taking the the shots in fast short movements, almost triangle pattern. The object had lights that would come on and off when another aircraft flew nearby. When I started to review my pics, I have a green bar or laser coming down from object in distance in one shot, and in others when object right over head the green light is focused on me. The object has been over our house all week includingl last night. I have pictures and video and need someone to help explain this. I made my wife and our 14 son come out and see last night..they noticed it turn lights out when commercial plane came close

Slow flying aircraft...cylinder shaped and silver. There was a low pitched humming sound...not loud like a jet. At first I thought it was a jet but it was moving too slow and had no wings. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This was a short experience. I was driving home from taking my kid to school. I looked up and saw a small line in the sky. There were clouds but they weren't close to the object. As I was driving, I glanced down at the road as I rounded a curve and the object was lost behind trees. When I re-emerged, it was gone. It was unlike anything I have ever seen in the sky before.
