Collierville, TN
Driving home on I- 269 east of the city of Colliervile, Tn, I saw in the distance several brilliant white lights that seemed to flash on and off. I started watching closer and noticed there were two cigar shaped objects the lights were coming from. There were five lights on each object in a horizontal row. These objects moved independently of each other and seemed to be hovering below the cloud layer. When I rounded the curve there were some trees that blocked my view. After the trees, I looked and the two objects had disappeared.

On August 6th, 2019, at approximately 2:30pm, my daughter and I saw a long, completely white tube-shaped craft flying horizontally in the sky. After a few moments of noticing the craft, it seemed to refract light and become nearly invisible for a few seconds. It came back for approximately 10 additional seconds before flying into a cloud and disappearing. We were no longer able to see or locate the object again after continuing to search visually for 10 minutes. I am a mom of 4 children, own a business and am well-educated. My daughter recently turned 18 and graduated high school. Neither of us have ever seen anything like that before.

Seen several what looked to be planes but had no wings. Looked to be 'fake planes" they went in straight lines and looked like planes with no wings and flashing dull white lights that resembled planes flashing but where clearly not planes. A few just appeared from no where and gone just as quick.

East Olympia, WA
It was a dark cylindrical object. It was traveling from the north to the south. Clear blue skies. It rolled, and turned when it did it glinted metallic. Not a loose banner, not a bunch of balloons. Something very odd, no sound. Observed for 20 minutes or more

When walking outside we saw a boat looking object speeding across the sky. It had a very strange orange glow to it and upon focusing on it it had three large flames burning on it. Once it was noticed another object exactly like the first but much closer also came speeding across the sky. It too was boat shaped and had three large flames burning on what would be like the “deck.” Although there were flames coming from it they weren’t on fire because they continued to fly until out of site traveling from West to East. The bizarre thing was the three flames coming off the objects were almost cartoon like. They each maintained a single flame like shape which never varied and they all put off a huge orange glow which was consistent and did not flicker. It was not a meteor or firework as they did not have a downward trajectory nor did they make a sound. They remained flying at the same height and maintained a forward trajectory.

Looking out window it caught my eye. Red and white. Going fast stops short stays still went back and forth and up and down and zig zag. I have a video not too good didn't zoom, but you can see the movements.

Later noticed that there were 3 other colorful lights in sky in a triangle formation around the main craft at maybe 3 miles equidistant. Estimate craft(?) at 2 miles up. Just sits there, no movement for hours. Definitely not a star and lights off to either side of main light unmistakable with binoculars if you hold steady enough. Location would estimate at above rt 95 Walpole or Foxboro. May be there again tonight?? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband and I were sitting outside, enjoying a summer evening. Something caught his eye, he looked up, and screamed for me to look. We both looked and saw 3 extremely bright orange objects in the sky. They were long and not too large. He yelled for me to take a picture. I always have my cell phone with me so I took 3 pictures. Then he said, no, take a video. I switched to video mode but at that point the objects started moving quickly. We starting running from the back of our house to the front, but the objects moved quickly together and then out of sight.

Cedar Lake, IN
Observed a cigar shaped object moving east to west at approximately 5000ft. The object was quite large and had 2 rectangle shaped lights on the bottom at either end of the craft which lit up for a second as the craft paused in the sky then when the lights went out it jump several hundred feet forward and repeated that pattern as it made it way across the sky. It was completely silent and flew directly over our location as all 3 of us looked up and tried to make sense of what we were seeing. Kinda flew like a rocket but no sound or smoke and flew parallel to the ground. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Park Rapids, MN
On the morning of July 26 about 8:00-9:00 a.m. I was sitting in my three season porch facing South, the morning was clear blue sky. I looked up and could see out the window what I thought was an airplane. It struck me though that it was moving very slowly, I’m guessing 100mph. It was silver, and cigar shaped and horizontal, no windows. I noticed that I couldn’t see the wings, and thought it was perpendicular to my line of sight, then also noticed it had no tail. Then it dawned on me and I said, “what the “+*@$” is that?” As it registered in my brain that it was something odd, the cigar object moved behind a tree on my property, (blocking my view) and I quickly got up and went outside to see it without being hidden behind the tree. It was gone. I thought that was really strange since if it was some kind of drone, or if it was a plane that turned, I would see it falling or turning. It was gone in a matter of about 5 seconds it took me to move away f! rom the tree that blocked my line of sight. I went in the house to get my camera and yelled to my wife to come out. I have a cannon camera and figured I would take a video in case it came back, and aimed at approximately where I thought the object should be. I took about two 30 second videos and saw nothing. Later that week I watched the videos on my computer several times. All I have is just the standard window type programs. I saw a quick movement on one of the videos which I would guess is about a 10th of a second. I eventually got a snapshot of the video. Using again just the standard windows programs, with the various filters it looked like there were four brief lights on the sides of the object. Very poor quality since I had to zoom in. The object was now canted at a vertical angle. Maybe it was a bug… I really am not sure. Also, it never occurred to me at the time that the object made no sound. I would estimate that the object was about 3,000 feet in elevation and may have been within a mile or so of the Park Rapids airport which is South of my location. We have small planes, smaller jets, and corporate planes that use this airport as well as helicopters that fly nearby. Also strange, and maybe this is not connected to staring at the sky where the object was… but I noticed something odd in my vision after this incident. I see the outline of an open at the top and bottom an Octagon. I would call it an “open octagon.” I see it with both eyes, it isn’t floaters and I never noticed this problem before. It has been two months and I still see this problem in my vision. I asked my wife if she saw this and she said she saw something like, “half of the octagon,” at the time. She doesn’t see that anymore. I see this open octagon when I look at something like blue sky, and it is only visible as I look from one spot to another for a brief moment and then it is gone. I looked up Palinopsia but that isn’t exactly the same. I am a 70 year old military veteran.

Colorado Springs, CO
I was going through some pictures that I took from a summer vacation trip through the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO, in late July, 2019 and I noticed a cigar shaped figure in the photo and another aircraft. One aircraft looks like a fighter jet (Air force Academy in Colorado Springs).

I saw this white short cigar shaped object moving at a steady speed across the clear sky and at one point the morning sun reflected off of it and it was very bright. Then I went to take a picture with my phone and I couldn’t spot it anymore when It should have still been in sight. There was no sound either.

I was at work out in the train yard when I noticed in the sky a cigar-shaped object slowly flying south west of my location. It was silent and had no visible lights or fume trails. Also it almost appeared as though there was a translucent bubble surrounding it.

It was cigar shaped approx 75 to 100 ft long silver in color no external fins altitude around 10 thousand feet clear sky and daylight no sound and moving from Northeast to southwest direction at a pretty fast speed 100 miles a hour plus . Jets cross our house all day long so going by them for speed we are on approach to dulles air port

I was sitting in a chair in my backyard at approximately 17:30. I looked overhead in a southerly direction and I saw a cigar-shaped object. This object was moving slowly, if at all, in a southwest direction. It was silver and the late afternoon sun was reflecting brightly on it. This object had no wings or rotors and there was no sound coming from it. I observed it for about 20 seconds. I got up and ran into my house to grab my binoculars. By the time I came back out (25 seconds later-I timed myself later) it was gone. No sound – nothing.

What was that? North east Ohio, Howland. looking northeast. We saw 2 or 3 objects or maybe it was just 2 I really don’t know what we just seen. Not a plane or helicopter or Weather balloon. From 3:45am to 05:00. Traveling west to east, then 2 light out of nowhere going east to west then south. Then one light went straight up then west to south faster then I have ever seen. I have Never seen anything like it? Thank god my wife was there see it with me. At one point we could almost make out a flat like cigar shaped object but it was moving to fast. Please tell me someone else saw it also. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Monroe, GA
I was leaving my aunt’s house across town going home. I took my normal route. I was turning on the road before my neighborhood and I saw a bright light and the cars in front of me hit the break lights. I slowed down and saw something REALLY bright. It was too bright for headlights or helicopter or planes. I stopped tried to record it but my phone died instantly and my screen in my car went out at the same time because my music stopped. It wasn’t making any noise at all. My car didn’t die but everything just got weird. It was super bright and was hurting my eyes. I just was scared because it was just super bright, lighting up only my car and nothing around it. It moved towards town and then started turning up straight like a rocket but the light was still shining bright. I started to drive slowly towards home and then the real odd stuff happen it shot directly upward fast as hell! I wanted to tell my wife but I knew she would make fun of me. I’m not sure if! it had anything to do with it but my dog was standing starring really hard at my car which is definitely not him at all. Please tell me I’m not crazy.

At approximately 7:45 pm EDT on the evening of July 14, 2019, my wife and I observed a white or dull silver cigar-shaped object move steadily through the sky in a roughly easterly or ENE direction. Remarkably, it had no visible wings, tail, or engines; was producing no contrail; and was utterly silent. By contrast, several ordinary commercial jets that we observed just before or after this object – were all readily audible (even when apparently farther away), had plainly visible wings and engines, and were leaving prominent contrails. Birds that we observed flying overhead at the time had obvious heads and flapping wings, again in contrast to the object in question. If the object was the size of a medium-sized commercial airliner (hard to tell), I would estimate its distance as about two to three miles away. The weather was clear, the sky blue with a few high cirrus patches, and visibility essentially unlimited. The sun was still brilliantly illuminating everything in the sky, since it was more than an hour before sunset. I was viewing the object with binoculars, while my wife was viewing it directly without optical aid after I brought it to her attention. Our sighting lasted roughly 30 seconds, from the time I first noticed it in my binoculars while idly scanning the sky until it moved out of sight to the northeast. The object did not noticeably vary its speed or direction at any point during the sighting. It appeared to have small dark markings at its rear and along part of the bottom. It did not look fuzzy but had distinct outlines. The sighting overall was completely unremarkable except for the absence of any sound, contrails, or visible wings or engines. I was left wondering whether it might possibly have been a small private jet with unusually quiet engines, flying banked so that its wings were edge-on to our perspective (and hence not observable by us), but several considerations argue against that hypothesis. First, we should have heard engines, no matter how quiet, at its modest apparent distance and compared with other aircraft in the vicinity just before and after our sighting. Second, it is extremely unlikely that a normal aircraft would have maintained a bank of about 30 degrees (which is what would have been required to put any wings edge-on to us, given its height in the sky from our position) continuously for half a minute in what appeared to be essentially straight and level flight. Third, if an aircraft had been flying past in an attitude such that its wings were edge-on to us, its tail (vertical stabilizer) would have been plainly visible, contrary to what we observed. Fourth, as noted above, conventional jets that we observed at approximately the same time were all leaving obvious contrails. So, in conclusion, I do not know what we saw, but I’m contributing it to the database in case the information is useful.

Whilst at work last Friday, I was looking to the west when I saw a white cylinder shape moving in and out of the clouds. My first impression that it was just a plane flying at high altitude. It then stopped hovered for about few minutes moving up and down, at one point it seem to "shimmy" or change shape but not any larger. It then moved up at 45: angle and disappeared. I do not have any footage as at first it did not seem strange only when moved upward and disappeared that I realized it may have been a UFO. If it is a government experimental craft it very sophisticated.

There's normally one really bright one and the rest are small not as bright and they blink sometimes they blink red or white but they've actually been side by side with me going down the road while I'm in my car they go the same speed as me when I stop based off when I turned a turn I know it sounds crazy but I can prove it cuz they do it every night other than the nights when it's cloudy and raining I'm not sure what they are but I know that I see them every night and last night one shot from the back of my car I'm driving down the road and it shot over my car towards the right and it was kind of saucer-shaped you know like a puffed tortilla when you cook it and it puffs up and it had a blue fish white light outlining the middle of it like around it and then it just went out and I couldn't see it anymore I know the story sounds crazy but I can prove it like I said it happens every night.

On the evening of Jul 10, 2019, at 9:38 pm, I was in my yard, watering plants. The news forecast was predicting possible thunder storms, so I looked up to check the sky. That’s when I noticed the brilliant pink colors which I had never seen before. The sun was just starting to go down. I grabbed my Samsung phone and took a total of 14 pictures of the sky with the brilliant bright pink colors. I viewed the pictures approximately 10 minutes later as I wanted to upload the best one to Facebook. I noticed a “mark” on one of the pictures. When I zoomed in on the picture I knew this was not a scratch on my lens or an insect as there was a pink cloud in front of the object. At 9:55 pm I decided to send the picture through messenger to a local journalist here in Medicine Hat, Alberta. At 10:09 pm the pink sky was fading fast and the street lights were just beginning to turn on. I thought I would take a few more pictures in the direction of where I took the first pictures. The 4 pictures I took were a darker blue hue that still had some light pink clouds in the area where the unidentifiable object had been. When I think back, I did not “hear” any loud noises that would have caught my attention like an airplane. I did not physically see the object until I viewed my pictures. It had to be going very fast though as the picture before (213806) was about 7 seconds apart from (213814). Up to this point I had assumed the vessel was travelling SW because the dome is on the right hand side. However, if the dome is the front of the aircraft then it could have been travelling NE in which case there may be a slight object in the picture 213806 which was taken before picture 213814. The following day, Jul 11, 2019, at 12:34 pm, my pictures were uploaded to the Facebook page “Community TV” by the journalist. (The original picture & the zoomed in picture). There was a woman who confirmed seeing the object, which had no color and no wings (like an airplane). Today, Saturday Jul 13, 2019, I came across a website that had a similar picture of a siting which was dated Feb 22, 2019, on the following website: https://mufoncms.com/pubic_report/ website.
