This craft flew about 200 feet above me and made very little sound. It looked like it was as big as a plane, but made very little sound, and had 3 lights flashing, and 4 that were constant. I have a video please ignore the use of the ((profanity)) word

Conway, AR
One of the stranger parts of this event was when the lightning struck very bright there appears to be chains between our vehicle and the flying objects above us directly above us that were not visible to the naked eye. We were not aware of this happening until we got home and looked at the video footage. I set my phone on the dashboard facing upward so it would catch the Storm and The Lightning, I had no idea there was an object hovering directly above us until we got home and saw the footage.

Cwmbran, WALES (U · United Kingdom
I was attracted by a glimmering metallic object outside my window. I went outside to observe the object more clearly. It looked to be about at an altitude of 120 - 160ft in the air. The "color" was a metallic, chrome color. It stood still for a few 2 or 3 seconds and then started moving slowly towards the north of me. I rushed into my house frantically looking for my camera, but by the time I found it, it was disappearing out of sight. Also, the size I say was about the size of a small car.

Daytona Beach, FL
My husband and I watched what looked like a drone with a light under it over the ocean near the shore in Daytona Beach. It was moving south to north and then it turned heading east over the ocean until it left our vision over the ocean. We were wondering what we just saw when another drone-looking object came by going south to north on exact same path of travel and then also went east and finally left our vision over the ocean. I took a couple of distant pictures and the object when zoomed (fuzzy) looks more like a cylinder with metal rings around it. I just wish I had had a camera with a powerful zoom lens. The object is just a dot in the picture. I don't think a personal drone could have flown that high and far. Possibly military drone?

Object was moving very fast through the cloud, I watched it to see it come out the other side of the cloud but it didn't, then I saw it again at the same place in the cloud where I originally saw the first one, again watching it, when it reached the end of the cloud, it disappeared. It was long, a cylinder shape but moved so fast, I didn't have my phone on me at the time to take pictures.

Ellettsville, IN
Was driving to work and saw a shiny silver object in the sky, just above the trees in Ellettsville. Watched the object for about 5 minutes from one stop light to the next and the cylinder shaped object didn't move. I thought it was a plane or maybe a hovercraft, but it stayed perfectly still. I pulled into the parking lot of a local company to take a picture, but then it was just gone. I saw something like it when I was about 15 and my mom and I watched the object, thinking it was a street light because of the shape and brightness, but it was way to high in the sky. When we got to a stopping point over a field, we got out of your vehicle and watched it. My mom told me to get the camera and when I turned around with it, the object changed shape, yup almost a football, changed colors, and shot off in a southern direction so fast it wad gone in a half second.

Martin, MI
At approximately 1245 am, I saw 4 what I call disco balls or 4 diamond shape lights Wich send a combo of blue and red light through the sky They appear to be stars but are not even close. Once You look through binoculars or scope You will see the differenc. I looked to the south and noticed a different looking object it flew in a strange pattern it was long tube shaped and flew as if was standing upright with no concern for aerodynamic discipline. I Have seen nothing like this ever. Very strange to say the least.

Norfolk, VA
I was in my backyard with my 2 year old son around sunset, and we were looking at the moon, when we noticed in the sky at high altitude in close proximity to the moon (about 4 o'clock) a cylindrical type object with long panels extending the length of both sides of it that appeared to be hovering in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane but I observed no contrails and then thought that maybe it was a satelite or the ISS, however after about 5 minutes, it vanished from view. There were no clouds in the sky and the object did not move from its location, it literally just vanished.

Raton, NM
Thought I was looking at a revolving lighthouse as I drove through a construction zone south of Raton through some mountainous terrain. It was there for about 15 seconds and caught my eye because it was revolving. I was trying to look inside, as one of the "windows?" came into view, and it vanished.

Columbus, OH
I slowed down from 30mph to 10mph to watch what I call a "air vessel" three times the size of a Boeing 777, white in color with red rear fin, but the aircraft didn't have any wings, and made no sound. The aircraft then headed east towards downtown Columbus, Ohio. I am a US Air Force combat veteran of 12 yrs and I have never seen a aircraft like this. It had no markings, decals or country designation.

Newark, DE
Reporting an UFO sighting on July 24, 2017 around 3:00 am. On July 24, 2017, both my wife and I woke up around 2:30 am with loud thunders from lightning. As we tried to sleep, we heard a few more thunders around the Drummond North area. Then, suddenly, we heard a loud sound and the intensity of that sound was increasing and decreasing periodically with a time period of 2 or 3 seconds. Our ears were able to detect that periodic nature of the sound. Then a bright orange beam of light entered our room through a window. The intensity of that orange light became brighter and darker in synchronization with ups and downs of the loudness of the sound. As this event was unfolding, we both thought that lightning might have started fire at a power transformer somewhere. So, I asked my wife to call 911, and I ran to the window. After removing the curtain of a window, I saw that a cylindrical structure hanging between our house and a neighbor’s house at a height of about 40 to 50 feet above my window. The approximate size of that cylindrical structure could be about 5 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter. That structure was generating both the sound and the light beams, and their intensities were modulated synchronously. The sound had the characteristics of running a huge blower whose speed was changing periodically in a very controlled manner. The light was so intense that at its peak value that I was getting blinded by it. Our backward was lighted up as if the sun’s rays on a clear midday have become orange and pulsing. As I tried to look directly at that cylindrical surface, I could only see some window-like features on that structure when the light intensity was low. The beam of light was practically coming from all over the structure. Instead of calling 911, my wife was so puzzled by the event that she unknowingly ran to another window and witnessed that bewildering event. Suddenly, the whole thing stopped. That cylindrical structure just disappeared in front of my eyes, and the world around us appeared to be the same as before. Approximately, whole event took probably between 15 to 20 seconds to unfold. I realized later that while that event was progressing, not a single dog barked in our area. We do not have a dog, but all of our neighbors do, and their dogs will bark even if a moderately loud car enters our area at night. In the morning when I was looking up and tried to identify the area where I saw that cylindrical structure, I realized that there is no electrical or any other overhead line has gone through that area or close to that area. The trees around that area have no burning sign, at all. As if nothing has happened last night.

Kutztown, PA
Above route 222 in broad daylight, mid day, I saw an object white in color that almost blended in with the bright blue sky and clouds. Looked to be the size of a midsize sedan. It moved at speeds no man-made aircraft including drones, move to my knowledge. It increased and decreased altitude in a split second, hovered in place and went from one end of the horizon to the other several times before vanishing. No sound was observed from the object. No exhaust trail was seen. It was near the newer Sheetz in Kutztown. I believe it was just before the construction of the route 222 roundabout that is there now.

Kirbyville, MO
At about 8:10 pm on 7/17/2017 in Kirbyville, MO, my husband pointed into the sky for me to look. There was a silver/white cylinder or rectangle like object traveling across the sky from NE to SW. It moved in a straight line, at a steady speed, without sound or trail of any type behind it. It didn’t change directions but at one point, I noticed it shimmer like a mirror, as if it tipped and the sunlight hit it. We tried to capture it on video with his smart phone but neither of us could see it displayed on the camera, even though it was clearly visible. We watched it for about 5 minutes before it moved out of sight.

New York City (Manhattan), NY
I witnessed from the indie of my gym Where I was laying on mat staring outside up in sky when 1 cylinder/cigar shaped UFO appeared. It was rotating like a drill as it was also moving off axis and in a line towards the east. As it rotated you would be able to see 4 lights that would only be on 1 side and seen after it fully rotated. It has to be hundreds of feet long. Then after it appeared 4 other smaller craft appeared that were to me saucer or spherical that blipped in and out behind it as soon as it appeared like they were tailing it because it to me looked like cylinder was somewhat out control because it was rotating and tilting liek it was on some type axis but still maintained a path in a line. It looked exactly like that same cylinder sighting that was in UK by the officers.

Monterey, CA
The children and I went to the San Carlos beach in Monterey during sunset we were playing with the sand and taking pictures we uncovered a lobster in the sand that was orange in color as if baked but it was alive, at the moment I didn’t think of the color of the lobster, my son asked me what is that in the sky? pointing to a big light ball as if it’s an open orb or tunnel that was 200 meters far. My son said that is heaven, I said as I stood mesmerized that this is grandparents watching over us. I was mesmerized that even me a communication professor that loves media and has been taking pictures of everything small or big I was able to snap one single picture only, but it was so beautiful that I believe it is my diamond star picture. I took the kids afterwards for a small walk took some pictures and walked to the car and home contemplating to what I saw. Ever since I feel I have a mission that is heavier than me, but God keeps sending me helping signs. It is heaven. And yes, God is everywhere.

Kingston (Canada), ON · Canada
On July 14, 2017, at 12:15pm, I was walking west on South Bartlett St. in Kingston, Ontario, when I notice a black S shaped balloon, spinning aerodynamically a mile up in the sky, and a mile south east of me as though it was flat on the ground.. I happen to be beside three guys work near a moving van and asked them to look up at the strange black thing in the sky. They all stared with me for 30 seconds and I asked what they thought it was. One guy said, "It's probably a drone.. Or probably not "with a puzzled look. The other two said they thought it was strange. I said its maybe a kite and continued walking to the corner, but kept watching the object. As I came to the corner, a tree blocked my view, but as I was able to see it again past the tree, I was shocked to see that it had projected itself in the trajectory of my eyesight and itself approximately 50-100 miles away and on a 45 degree angle that went straight towards space. I tried to grab my camera but didn't want to take my eye off it, and within 5 seconds, it was so tiny that it disappeared into the sky at a steady, but rapid speed. I went back to the truck and asked the three guys if they had continued watching it after I left and they said no. I speculated it was like the object sensed it was noticed by me and took off when the guys stopped looking and when my vision was blocked by the tree I had passed. I am a average working man and haven't seen anything my whole life except for now two sightings ( including this one) in the last two years and I just turned 40. Strange thing is I had just left my friends house after telling him a theory about how we as humans are the top predators and think zombies are scary, but if we had a new predator, an alien one, that we would find whatever shape the alien was to be horrifying and our instincts would change to fear the sight of them and that we would become uncivilized and not be able to be in groups, as we would be easily targeted by this new predator that we don't even know exsists yet. For some reason I think such a horrible race of "monsters" exsists in space just waiting forsure numbers to get to a certain point like they have for generations. Waiting till the earth is full of humans than coming down and harvesting us all spare a few to re- colonize. Just a theory, but a mortifying one one is reluctant to ponder on. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be sincere and sober-minded. We have encouraged him to have at least one of the other four alleged witnesses to submit a supplementary report, for confirmation. PD

Newville, PA
On Monday, July 10, about 11AM ET, my wife and I were driving on I-76 Pennsylvania Turnpike westbound, MM 225 near Newville, PA. The sky is clear and sunny, visibilty is very good. I am in the drivers seat. Our speed, and other traffic, is 80 mph. Earlier I had seen a sign "Speed Monitored By Aerial Surveillence," so I was watching. To the southwest, my left, through the front windshield, I saw a helicopter. It was a white, familiar-looking police helicopter, hovering at an altitude that appeared normal for police traffic helicopters, and less than a 1/4 mile south off the Interstate. Mountains rise up about 10 miles ahead, and I could see a small white airplane in the distance, banking to my left. I looked at the helicopter, and noticed a long straight black tubular object (1) (the top surface reflecting the sun) above it, at approximately twice the altitude of the helicopter. I comment to my wife, "What do you think that is?" My first thought was a large solar balloon. The tubular object appeared to be more than twice as long as the helicopter and about the same diameter as the cabin of the helicopter. The black tubular object was not a rigid cylinder and would fold to form a V shape, both arms about the same length. At one point, I saw (2) one of the arms fold again about 1/4 of the length from the end. By now, I am looking directly out of the drivers side window, due south. A second white helicopter has appeared, and both helicopters maintain their altitude beneath the object. The three aircraft do not appear to be moving away, but hovering. The white airplane that I saw earlier, is now in view, south of the Interstate and at some distance beyond the helicopters and appears flying a circular path around the object, as I can see some top surface of the wings. Moving past the event, I see the tubular object straighten out briefly and then refold (3) into a V. It's still south of the Interstate, behind us and then lost to my view. I was in the passenger's seat. When my husband called my attention to the object, it was south of us, and I looked out of the driver's side window (I had already noticed one helicopter), I first thought it was a small flock of birds flying closely together. When I realized it wasn't birds, I paid more attention. It looked like (4) a translucent object floating without form, sort of like a jellyfish, but it had some kind of black large pieces to it that I took to be the birds originally. I thought perhaps it was a large clear weather balloon that was descending. I was not able to see it for very long, being on the opposite side of the car. It quickly disappeared from my view.

South Windsor, CT
We always sit on our back deck and watch the skies for aircraft but this night was different. It was not yet dusk, skies were clear with no cloud cover. I saw what I thought was an airplane but something didn’t look right. It was either spinning or tumbling as it was moving. As soon as I saw this I said to my wife, “This doesn’t look good-something is wrong,” thinking it was a plane in trouble and going to crash. But the object kept on moving in the same trajectory, not losing altitude. That’s when it got weird because as I was watching, two star-like objects appeared around the larger object. While what I saw was in the distance-like an airliner at high cruising altitude- this larger object was as large if not larger in size than a jet plane. The two smaller objects were like moving or shooting stars only they maintained a consistent altitude, never falling. They did at times pull closer to the main larger object. The objects came from south of us and travelled north east until they reached a position pretty much in front of us. It is a guess that the objects were approximately 50 degrees above the plane of the ground. At that time they appeared to stop in midair, but in hindsight we think they may have changed direction heading east away from us until they disappeared from sight--smaller objects first, then the largest was last to fade away. This all happened fast and they travelled at a speed similar to that of an airliner. We live within 15 miles of Bradley Airport and watch planes on approach all the time. But this was different because these objects travelled away from the airport’s location. What we found odd was that all during the time we watched, there were no other visible aircraft. Once the objects disappeared, air traffic seemed to resume--at least eight other planes came into view within the next five minutes. I know what I saw and feel compelled to report, if not only for some explanation for what I witnessed.
