My cat (who is deaf btw) started staring off into the sky with ears up which is the only reason it made me look...it was very low flying, silent, almost shaped like a very narrow rectangle but there was no definite start/end to the structure I could see because it was night and there were lights on it that were more defined at the front but hazey towards the rear… green lights on the front, red and white on the back… not little dot lights, very large and bright. It moved almost gracefully from the moment I saw it, until it was blocked from view by a tree and no longer visible on a perfectly straight line, no altitude changes (maybe 35 mph??).... It almost didn't look real because it was so close and bright. How it was able to move without any sounds has my head spinning bc it was large and closer to me than any helicopter would ever be capable of flying… I don't know how large they make drones, but it would amaze me if someone in this small town had the ability and finances to acquire something like that… This is something I've never seen before. I'm still in shock.

Elk Grove, CA
At 7:15 to 7:45 pm pst on April 9, 2017, observed one dark colored object in northern sky in Elk Grove/ Sacramento, Ca, area below cloud cover maintaining a stationary position. The object was dark grey in color, cylinder shaped, flat bottom and cone top with flat top. Stayed in the 2 O'Clock position for 30 minutes then began moving very slowly to the west. After it moved behind several tall trees blocking our vision, it never came into sight again, and at sunset, nothing more could be seen.

Vineland, NJ
hello, i wanted to report something that concerned me that i saw last night. im not sure if there was any scheduled testing or rocket launches last night for nasa or any agencies but i couldn't find any on the news. I live in South NJ. Around 10pm i was in east vineland at a friends farm covering his plants for the frost. Its open farm fields so the view is good. after we were done we began walking back to the house when i noticed a strange orange glow in the distant western sky just above the horizon but very far away. Thought it might of been an distant airliner at first, but there were no blinking lights and the color was odd. It reminded me of the nasa launch last year from va which i could clearly see from my location as well. It climbed in altitude very quickly and covered that large distance away and was soon over the southern sky looking up at it at about a 45 degree angle and then was soon way out over the ocean heading in an east south east direction. You could see the engine flicker and flame out just like the nasa launch when it the stage burned out. This occurred near the coast. I thought it was interesting since i hadnt heard of any launches. But what concerned me was about 5 minutes later we saw another one, came from the same direction and headed the same way, only it flamed out somewhat sooner over land but was still very high up by that point. Then about 5 minutes later we saw 3 orange lights glowing way off in the distance same area again and they flew across the sky in the same direction, followed by 2 more not far behind it, then one more then one more that appeared to go up and then looked as if it was slowly coming back down but may have been going west giving that appearance as if it was coming down, by that point we all were like whats going on and went in the house to check the news, i was concerned with all the stuff on the news some war had started or something. Not sure if its some new jet there flying with rocket engines, or what. But they were not shooting ! stars or any aircraft. Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Houston, TX
When I returned inside to look at them; I noticed an object near the sun at its 10:00 position. I pinched zoomed on the object and was shocked to see some type of unknown object. The sun is actually casting its light on the object from an angle it is from the sun. We suspect lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. We have not received the photos, so all we can do is guess. The witness elects to remain anonymous, so we are unable to contact him/her. PD

Rexburg, UT
Incredibly large. It was super high in the sky which made it appear small but the fact we could see it at all indicated it was a massive craft. It was a very clear sunny day and the sky was very blue. The craft was located right beside the sun which made it difficult to spot but if you moved to the right angle to look up you could see it. It was also transparent. Only would it appear if you looked at it from an angle where the suns light reflected off of it enough to distinguish it was a large cylinder. My two friends and I dropped what we were doing that day and followed it for over an hour. It followed the suns position in the sky, always keeping in the same spot relative to the sun. It was unexplainable for any human technology that I am aware of.

As it flew over and closer it was it held cylinder shape and as it moved away it created circular shape. I took video. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Massena, NY
On our way home from the store, my friend and I thought we saw a ufo. It was a bright white cylinder. It was going pretty fast and disappeared a few times. When we got to the house, I tried to get a picture with my phone, but it couldn't zoom in enough. I went in the house to get my camera for a better picture, but it was gone when I returned. In the same area, there was now what looked like a star, but it elongated into a cylinder, then two stars. I thought my eyes were playing tricks because its the same location of the north star. I figure it may have just appeared to be doing these things. I did take a picture and turns out it is a cylinder. Not from camera movement because nothing else in the picture has motion blurs.

Troy, MI
I am currently on Big Beaver and Coolidge. I started off in Berkeley, Michigan, which is when I first saw it. If I am traveling West on Big Beaver, near Coolidge, it's currently in the sky. I would say its just North of Coolidge in Troy, Michigan. I have been following it for over an hour. It's just sitting still. Every now on then I will see red flashing lights on it. Initially I thought it was a plane landing. At first glance you can mistake it for a star, as well, but at some point you will notice red lights. I have never seen anything like this, however, it's really freaking me out. Probably a sighting of Venus. PD

I am a firefighter, while responding to a call, I glanced over to the full moon and the glow that it had around it. I saw a long cylinder shaped object moving from below the moon's penumbral glow into the glow traveling vertically and along to the right side of the Moon and continued upward out of the moon's glow. It was a huge object.

Miramar, FL
Observed from Silver Lakes Community, Miramar, Fl, Parking Lot of School. 20:30 2/4/17 6 red blinking objects, approximately the size of a hot air balloon, holding in a steady pattern at various altitudes less than 2000 feet. Observed while on Security Patrol. The Object in question was cylinder shaped appeared round with red flashing exterior (possible transparent material with light inside. Noticed small single engine aircraft circling the area.... The objects were many times larger than the planes green and red flashers. Speed of objects appeared to be stationary. Observed them for about 1/2 hour from several different locations. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Portland, OR
I am a school teacher. My class and I were outside doing a couple laps on the school track after lunch. The sky was clear and a couple planes were going by. I glanced up and was looking at the long trail produced out the back of one of the planes, when I noticed what looked like a very bright star in the east by southeast portion of the sky. It appeared to be above the 33,000 foot cruising altitude and was slightly bigger than the planes which were flying their typical daily routes. It just stayed in one place. I pointed it out to my kids because we had never seen a stationary star in the daylight before. The rest of my class gathered around us and we all stopped and watched it. It seemed to slowly shift and elongate. In other words--it went from a star to a white cylinder shape, and then back to a star as if it was maybe rotating like a baton. It would remain a star and only occasionally switch to the cylinder only a few times (3x). A couple times it completely disappeared, then would reappear in the same place. It moved very slowly to the center of the sky at a barely legible speed over the course of 15 minutes, and then completely disappeared. My class was excited and freaking out to each other. None of them were scared whatsoever, and in fact seemed very elated. There was no noise detected from the object, although we cannot hear jets at that altitude either.. (( We have viewed the video, and the white light looks to us to be Venus. PD

Troy, NC
On Thursday night, January 12, 2017, as I was traveling south on highway 134, just about 5 miles outside of Troy, NC, I noticed a metallic cigar shape object falling straight down out of the sky. It was a clear night with a full moon, so I could see the object clearly. I drove past the object before it either hit the ground or whether it leveled out and flew away. I called a friend who I call a sky watcher, and sure enough, she had spotted a bright burst of light, which then faded quickly over the city of Sofia. Don’t know if the two events are related or not.

Spring Hill, FL
As my husband was driving down Mariner Blvd. I in the passenger seat noticed a cylinder very bright fireball object in the sky. It looked as if it was falling but never fell just kind of stood in place maybe. I came home to check news reports, because I was for sure it was a plane. Nothing is being reported as of yet. Found this sight in the process of my search on what was going on. My daughter tried to get pics but it was too far away for a phone camera. It was like a falling explosion in the sky but never fell. We have changed the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible sighting of Venus. PD

Oakland, CA
Of the right wing, a cylindrical light object rose quickly in diagonal direction above Oakland and surrounding city then hovered for 5 mins or more. It rose and moved in a projection that was unusual in how quickly it turned and ascended diagonally. It then hovered in one spot for over 5 minutes. Our plane turned into descent and we lost sight of it.

Fredericksburg, VA
December 28, 2016 I live in Fredericksburg, VA in Spotsylvania County. On December 28th 2016 around 9:00 p.m. I let my dog out to go to the bathroom and when I looked up at the sky I saw approximately between 70 to 100 cylindrical shaped objects in the sky. They were everywhere when I looked up. They were all above and around me in the sky at a high altitude as I couldn't really make out the shape and am describing them by the lights I saw. They made no sound and were pretty high up because several commercial planes flew by and they were well below the lights I was looking at. Each object had 4 white lights along the side and then it had a green blinking light above it and a red blinking light below it. They were stationary, just hovering there. I grabbed my binoculars and looked at them but couldn’t see any defined edges, only the lights described above. They were not planes or helicopters or blimps as there wasn’t any sound. I continued to watch them for about 15 minutes and they did not move with the exception of 2 of them moving and traveling east but they were not moving very fast. Have looked at news articles in the news paper the following day and nothing was reported. Even my dog was looking up at them which I found strange. Wondering if anyone else has reported seeing these that same evening?

Corning/Pocahontas (between), AR
I was driving from my town of Corning, Arkansas, towards Pocahontas, Arkansas, at about between 5:30-5:45AM. I was heading towards work and just ahead of me, suddenly appeared a smoke-like pillar of light! I'm not sure how far away exactly it was, but it was probably about the width of a 4 way road. It appeared so bright that the entire countryside around it was semi-visible when before then it wasn't since it was so early in the morning and dark! I watched it for about ten seconds, then as I grabbed my phone to take a picture it vanished! Never re-appearing though I kept my eye out for it. It was really eerie! We spoke with the witness via telephone, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded and sincere. PD

Huber Heights, OH
While looking out of my front door, I noticed a very large and bright light within my peripheral vision. At first, it slowly moved, but then seemed to stop and hover in the night sky. Thinking that it would change, I stared for quite a long time after having called my husband and children to look as well. My entire family was mesmerized at what they saw because of the brightness of it and yet it did not move. We called our local Air Force base [Wright Patterson, Dayton, Ohio] in which the officer asked my husband if he had been drinking? However, after much convincing, he then gave us 2 numbers to report a UFO. And then after about an hour, the object simply disappeared with a quickness.

Riverdale, GA
While standing outside smoking, my neighbors came to me and pointed out this object that was bright like an airplane's headlights, but it wasn't moving. We noticed planes flying close by it, but this light didn't move or make a noise. We tried to record it with our phones, and it all of a sudden disappeared.

Raton, NM
I was driving through northern New Mexico, and I was in the middle of nowhere. There were no vehicles, no building, no planes. Nothing. Just me and the road. Suddenly a shimmering object appeared about 50 yards in front of me, just slightly off the ground and moving about the same speed. After about 30 seconds, the shimmering cloak fell, and a UFO was revealed. It looked more cylindrical than most pictures I have seen. I didn’t feel in danger. It just kept flying in front of me. Here I am in the middle of nowhere with no GPS, no phone, and no way to record what is happening, and a UFO is giving me an escort down a little 2-lane, windy country highway. This lasted about 5-10 minutes. It eventually cloaked, and then about 30 seconds later, it kinda “poofed” and I drove through the vanish. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen.

Obernburg, NY
I looked out my bedroom window (faces north) around 5:05AM Nov 19, 2016, and saw two super brilliant whitish/blue stars next to each other, they were much brighter than anything else in the sky. While I'm looking at these stars I realize, I've never seen these stars before, and quickly reached for my binoculars. In the time I grabbed my binoculars (maybe 15-20 seconds) and turned back both “stars” brightness began to dim substantially as if on a dimmer switch. The rest of the stars in the sky stayed at normal intensity so it was not a passing cloud. All of a sudden, these “ stars” began to move very slowly and I saw through the binoculars each “star” was at the end of a very long dark cylindrical object. The soundless object slowly moved towards the west/southwest and out of view from my window. I ran outside and couldn't find it but there were pine trees and mountain blocking the western part of the sky the where object was headed. Maybe 1 minute later, I saw what I believe is the ISS, or some other fast moving satellite, fairly high in the sky and traveling from the northwest going towards east/ southeast. It should have crisscrossed paths with the object I saw. I was back in the house by 5:16AM.
