Camdenton, MO
I was returning from a camping trip Monday, July 3, 2017, pulling our camper. I was alone in my vehicle, my wife and daughter were following me in another vehicle. We were traveling eastbound on US Highway 54, approximately 5 miles south of Camdenton, Missouri. The highway runs fairly north at that point. The skies were clear with a white fluffy cloud bank several miles ahead of me. I saw what was clearly a large gray colored rectangular box shaped craft floating from my right to my left just this side of the cloud bank, moving in a southwesterly direction, And what I would guess to be several miles in front of me. This thing was immense but just how large was hard to tell because of the distance. I glanced at my watch, it was 12:25 PM. There are a lot of trees alongside the highway and this is a hilly area, so I lost sight of the craft a couple of times by going up and down the hills, but I saw it for approximately a total of 30 to 45 seconds, before I lost sight of it for good because of the lay of the land. I was looking for a place on the shoulder to pull over and stop and jump out and run back to tell my wife and daughter what I had just seen and when I did it was just before a T intersection with a road to the left, so I told my wife about what I had seen and told her to drive down that road and see if she could see the object which she did and she never saw it. I'll be 67 years old next month August, and I've been waiting all my life, knowing there are UFOs and extraterrestrials out there. Now I have finally seen a UFO, the real deal. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be an exceptionally serious-minded person. Based on his command of the English language, we suspect that his is a very capable, and reliable, witness. PD

We were sitting outside enjoying the late afternoon/early evening. I happened to look up in the sky and saw a white rectangular form climbing steeply into the sky. At one point, the sun reflected brightly off of it (for several seconds). It climbed very quickly-to the south/southwest and disappeared when passing over, then beyond a tall cumulus cloud in the distance. By this time, it merely a white speck in the sky. It was completely silent. It didn't have wings. It was in a position where we would have heard the sound of it, climbing into the sky. I've never seen anything like this in entire lifetime+. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry about the date. It was early evening Wed. June 28., ((END ADDENDUM))

Palm Springs, CA
Roughly 1/5 of the way up the silhouette of Mount San Jasinto was 8 red lights above a blue line followed by another 8 red lights. All 3 sets of lights were parallel and evening spaced apart. Object was about 3 miles away and would guess it was 100' wide x 50' high. Moved slow around Canyon Ridge towards the bottom tram station. Then disappeared.

Hazel Green, AL
Walking my dog as usual at this time. I happened to look up and there it was. It was hovering, being still in one place. All of a sudden, it quickly took off, straight up and disappeared. The object was quite far up and how long it was there, I don't know. It was silver-white with two dark narrow lines on each side of the rectangle. I had watched it for about five seconds, before it went up. Very strange. I could not find anyone else who had seen this, but found your website. Thank you! The time was about 9 pm, June 24, central time. It made no sound or emitted any lights. I ruled out drones and planes. Direction was north-east of my house.

La Vista, NE
The object had four light for each corner. Three red and one yellow/orange. It looked like there was a faint grey outline of the whole thing. It was going over slowly, then sped up quickly and finally just faded altogether. It wasn't dark out yet, the sun was just starting to go down.

New York City (Queens)(Flushing Meadows), NY
I went to take a rest from the flea market, and was shaded by a large bush. I laid flat on the grass and had amber driving glasses on, in addition to my myopia lenses. I was looking straight up to the zenith, watching airplanes from LGA airport, etc.. The sun was almost but not quite overhead, and shaded by a leafy branch, so I was able to gaze into the blue without the sun against me. The clouds were minimal and there was a slight haze and I had a little coffee to drink and was relaxing. Slowly, but suddenly, like a ghost appearing, there was a distant craft proceeding westward and slightly northward at an angle, slowly creeping. It had a distinct boxy appearance almost like it had "solar panels" on both sides, and there was a faint blinking sidelight hard to make out because of the bright conditions. It was at the limits of my visual acuity to make out any detail, but it was optical in nature as I was able to play with the image using my fingers in a triangle pinhole lens and saw it refract. Soon after this, to my right (north), a group of approximately 5 (or more) of the same "craft" appeared in a rough and slowly jiggling polygon along with an extra slightly off to one side ("apple"). This cluster slowly appeared out of nothing, and they too had faint blinking lights. There was no entry direction, and were ghostly in appearing. It stayed like this for about 2 minutes and then as if on cue, all of them slowly faded back into nothingness without any abrupt motions. The lone craft from the beginning was proceeding in its same linear direction and still visible, and then that, too, slowly disappeared in a ghostly fashion. At the end of this, I checked the sky without the amber lenses and saw that the area where there was the cluster of the craft was blue without clouds and only some haze as it was a hot day. The lone craft was in an area of very thin cloud. They did not act like drones and there were too many of them, and they just appeared and disappeared. They did not get bigger or smaller; there was no noise and they all looked the same. I had thoughts of some kind of refraction from a remote area, but the behavior and the coincidences of this happening don't seem to fit as being manmade, which is why I make this report to you.

Virginia Beach, VA
Square shaped object, equivalent to the size of 3 or 4 hot air balloons hovering over Independence Blvd near Town Center. The square shape appeared to have 2 legs about half of the length of the square's diameter. It was grey in color. I took a video for about 20 seconds with my phone as it hovered moving away from Independence Blvd. heading west. However, when I replayed my video, for some reason I only captured 3 seconds. Nevertheless, I did capture the image, but it is blurry. I took the video from my car while I was in traffic.

Nothing much to say,I was at the Seattle Centre fountain and took a photo of the fountain and when I reviewed the picture later I saw this object in the sky. There was nobody flying any kites and I don't recall anyone mentioning that they saw any thing. Photo of bird in flight w/ wings folded. PD

Las Vegas, NV
I noticed a light in the eastern sky while driving home, so I parked and started to watch it with binoculars and the night vision app on my phone. It was clearly neither a plane nor a helicopter, due to the way it hovered without circling like helicopters do. It just hovered a ways up in the sky, but I could not tell what exactly it was over, couldn't see that far. Very gradually it began to rise eventually, very slowly. When I looked through the binoculars, it looked like a cylindrical or rectangle shape with red, white and blue light, in bands. Very bright. When I looked through the night vision it appeared to be a cube and appeared to be rotating rapidly! Completely different without night vision, as then it appeared stationary. The dawn was breaking and it kept rising in the sky, but very slowly, straight up. I kept watching until it finally couldn't be seen anymore due to a cloud it went into, about an hour all told. Possibly a star or Venus?? PD

Camden, NJ
It was around 6pm., I was driving home from work and I saw a vertical gray rectangle with clouds partially covering it. I saw the right half of the rectangle, with the clouds covering the left side of it. The rectangle disappeared into the clouds. I was on Route 676, heading south towards I-76 and I-295. There were a lot of cars around me, but I don't know if anyone else saw it. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sacramento, CA
I looked outside my bedroom window in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County at 21:41, looking South West and observed a Red/Orange RECTANGLE, very, very bright LED type light or combination of many lights. I estimate the distance of six to eight miles away and the size of approximately 200 yards wide and 100 yards high. It was huge! It appeared to be about 1000 feet in elevation. It hovered or floated around not moving too much, just up and down a little. The lights went to bright blueish and shut off, then reappeared back into the bright Red, Orange light, very intense light projection. It drifted South across my sight, same distance and elevation, then shut off. I videoed it with my tablet, but my tablet only recorded a bluish speck, but I was able to take a screenshot from the video at its most intelligible position. I blew up the speck so you can almost make out the rectangle shape. I could see it through my tablet as I was recording it and knew it wasn't recording the same brightness and color, but at least I was able to record its presence. This exact same event took place last year starting on May 13th, 2016, and continued most every night for a week and I also took phone video and pictures with my phone of that event(s). I will attempt to get a better video with my cellphone, although it is not a smart phone, it does record better than my tablet. I used my tablet because it has way better screenshot and enhancement features. I will send more reports as I witness them.

Fort Loramie, OH
When leaving a job site this morning at approximately 11:30 AM, I and another man observed a black rectangular object in the sky west of our location at Lake Loramie, Ohio. We observed this object for several minutes as it traveled on a northwesterly direction. While observing, we witnessed the object tumble lengthwise 180 degrees. I took several pictures of this happening. I then got into my vehicle and proceeded to follow the object. I drove north on St. Rte 362 along the west bank of Lake Loramie into Minster, Ohio. I traveled west thru Minster on the Minster – Egypt Pike to St. Rte. 364 still observing the object. I turned north on St. Rte. 364 and proceeded to St. Rte. 119. Turning west on St. Rte. 119, I follow the object into Maria Stein, Ohio. Upon reaching Saint Johns Road in Maria Stein, I turned north again observing that the object appeared to become either triangular or diamond shaped and I again photograph it. I looked at the road for traffic and upon looking back up, it has disappeared.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
A very large size, gray color, square shape object hover without any noise over Brooklyn. I personally don't know what it could be. I had a good 10 minutes sharp view of the object. At a very clear sky. I was trying to be rational but find no answer. Unfortunately the video footage doesn't give back the ratio of the object. Much larger than a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter. I have photos captured also and after zooming in I saw the object hade colors and lights. Date 03-05-17 Brooklyn/NYC 8 am

I previously reported this sighting to MUFON and was given a case number of #83456 and this case was assigned to an investigator with the Mufon International CAG. On May 1-2017, I was already up at 2:30am and at my computer, at approximately 5:45am there was a disturbance outside as my neighbor's dogs and my dogs were loudly barking and howling and I went outside to investigate. Initially I saw no reason for the dogs disturbance as I stepped through my gate and into the center of the street and began looking in all directions for the cause, then glanced down the street and looking up into the northwest sky I saw an object perhaps 1 mile off in the distance and appeared to be about 700 to 1000 meters high, slowly approaching as if it was going to land on my street. I initially thought that it was an unusually shaped hot air balloon, so I ran into the house and quickly grabbed my cell phone as my camera was not readily available. By this time the object was overhead but behind my house as I stood facing to the East, and the object was gradually gaining altitude as it moved to the south towards Manila. I began to get a creepy feeling as all the animals suddenly became very quiet even the roosters stopped crowing, and I snapped a couple quick pictures. I was able to discern several portal type windows and a peculiar type of landing gear, then I realized that it was definitely not a hot air balloon as this craft made absolutely no sound. It was nothing I had ever seen before and as I'm a U.S. Marine scout, I am first and foremost a trained observer. The object appeared as a non-reflective flat gray color, and had no lights of any kind, and given the distance from me it was not quite bright enough at that time to see any pilot or passengers. The total time of the sighting lasted perhaps 90 seconds. As I mentioned previously, I reported this to the Mutual UFO Network within about 5 hours after the initial sighting.

Chugiak, AK
I was heading home from Anchorage and I just got back from Arizona on the Redeye. I got off the highway at the Peter’s Creek Exit (east side of highway closest to the mountains). There is a parking lot with a large rock painted to look like a lady bug. I saw what looked like a low flying plane, with a flight path headed west over the parking lot from the mountains. I pulled into the parking lot to look up and get a closer look of this “plane”. As I pulled to a stop, the object slowed to a stop in front of me and vertically descended to about 100 ft. Its shape was rectangular with four red blinking lights at the corners of its shape. I remember saying out loud, “Oh my God, this isn’t a plane!” After that, a white light in the middle of the object started to light up, and I started to get freaked out. I put my transmission into gear and spun around and left the parking lot quickly. It changed direction and starting following me north. I started screaming because I was scared. Whatever it was, was going to try and take me. It was keeping pace with me and flying directly above me so I increased my speed. It followed me from the parking lot by the highway exit to my street which is about almost one mile to my street. I turned north from the side road from the parking lot to head towards my street and it was still following me. I turned east down another street and then north again to head down my street. As I approached my house I pressed the garage door opener, I slowed to a stop and started to back into my driveway. As I was backing into my garage, I lost visual of the object. For a while after that I was scared because I was thinking “oh no! They know where I live!”

Saw a large black craft floating sideways across the sky approximately 800-1000ft up. No lights and no sound from the craft, the sides were like a matte grey, and the middle was solid black. Never seen anything like this before in my life.

Lapine, AL
I was outside Lapine, Alabama, near route 331, when I noticed a lone storm cloud on the northern horizon. The cloud was slowly moving west to east. Many cloud-to-cloud lightning bolts were flashing within the cloud, but few cloud to ground bolts were visible. The lightning bolts were blue-violet in color. Many low rumblings were coming from the cloud, but few could be connected to a single lightning bolt. A person watching the cloud with me commented that the lightning activity was both unusually quiet and concentrated within the cloud. They stopped watching the cloud and went inside before the object became visible. They also noted that their dogs, normally afraid of lightning, were unusually calm during the storm. I decided to videotape the electrical activity visible in the center of the cloud a few minutes. After recording the central portion of the cloud, I thought it might be a good idea to record the rear. The sighting occured during the following seconds. During a fraction of a second a lightning bolt lit up the rear of the cloud. When it did, what appeared to be the corner profile of a building-sized rectangle appeared. A second brighter flash illuminated a wider area, revealing more of the object. The object then disappeared from view. Between the two flashes, the object appeared to change shape. I recorded more video of the cloud hoping to see the object again, but failed to get any more footage. Other clouds similar to the first passed by to the south. Two planes flew in a line southward over the area about 5 to 15 minutes afterwards. A person I know in the area claims that a wifi dongle had to be reset due to activity that night, and/but I can't tell if the object was the cause. I was told that two weather radars were down for maintenance during this time. I have sent screenshots from the video to the email address below, but they aren't very detailed. I may send frames if I can get a video editing program for my phone. We have reviewed the photos that were forwarded by the witness, and we see nothing that is suggestive of UFO activity. PD

Saw from afar a bright white light approaching above my home. When it came closer above me, it looks like a flying square building with about 10 floors of yellow gold lights and red and green lights at the bottom. Didn't have chance to take video as it happened so fast!
