Minneapolis, MN
I saw a similar object as the other reporter for this date, but my view was much closer, so I really got a good look at it. It was early afternoon and I was driving in Minneapolis. The object was in a northerly direction. I saw a very large rectangular prism just hanging there in the sky. It was just beyond the tree line, the tree line about 4 city blocks away. It looked like it was hanging over the city's lakes area. It was off-white in color with brown outlining the edges and outlining other rectangular shapes within the object outline. Interesting detail, the off-white was dirty and dingy, like it was old and well used. It didn't move, it just hung in the air. It was close to the ground too. Usually, when I think of UFO's, I imagine them like the movies; high in the sky, flashing some lights, flying around, then speeding by, and disappearing. It did disappear, but not by speeding away. It just vanished, it was there one second and gone the next. I discounted what I saw, I don't know why. I don't want to be a conspiracy person maybe, sorry no offense intended. Now, I don't know what I believe.

The UFO appeared twice as Fox News went to a live shot of NYC before a commercial break. It was moving a rapid pace and went across Manhattan from the West to East side, just North of the Empire State Building. In mid flight, a fireball appeared to propel it momentarily for 1-2 seconds, and it then cut to commercial break. After recording it from the TV and slowing it down frame by frame we could see an object that appeared to shape shift with each frame.

The UFO was a perfect rectangle of extremely light green light. The UFO made a whooshing sound, and almost streaked across a small area of the sky. It looked very big and sort of close. The UFO was only visible is the sky for about four seconds if you count it out like: "One and Two and Three and Four and". Before the UFO vanished two separate red lights flashed on the front two corners. One side flashed twice then the other side delayed but still flashed twice as well. Remember this only happened in about four seconds. I was with three other people, two men, and one woman, the woman saw the object. The men only heard it. We were out on a farm making smores no one was drinking or doing drugs, there is a hill with a house and tree further up the land. The UFO vanished before reaching above the hill.

I saw what appeared to be a rectangle fly across the sky. At first it looked like a plastic bag blowing in the wind, but it was too high for that. The object then flew straight up into the sky until I could not longer see it. It moved fast, and in different directions while flying up. It appeared to be spinning because I could see different contrasts such as it appeared shiny on at least one side. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On the phone outside when the rectangle object flew across. I was able to see it bc it was invisible but I could make out the ufo because as it flew the stars would turn fuzzy.

I looked up at the sky from my backyard and saw a rectangular silver panel (like the side of a Mac truck) with nothing else around it. It appeared to be at the height a hot air balloon or a blimp. It was just gliding along above the tree line. While I was observing, it made a sharp turn (90° turn), then dipped below my line of sight. It had to be at least the size of a large trailer home. Literally looked like a semi truck's haul was floating by. Gave me the creeps and didn't really sink in until an hour or so later that I had seen something that didn't make any sense!

When it got closer, and I mean maybe a half a mile over my head, it was rectangular, a flat bottom and I didn't see the lights on the back until it was almost over me. Don't believe in extraterrestrials or anything like that but I do believe that the government has machines out there that we don't know about but the kicker here is there was no noise at all. If I wasn't looking up, it would have gone over me undetected. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saginaw, MN
Saw very bright lights, almost like a plane flying very low. A very big object!. Looked like it was coming at me while I drove towards it and relized it was just hovering then it started to flip, while staying in the same spot. The lights dimmed. Once flipped, completely flipped over, I could see a lot of small lights on the object and it very slowly started moving away getting higher in the sky. Creepiest thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

Murphy, TX
Sitting in backyard with my wife facing the South sky. We both noticed a dull bronze colored rectangle heading in a straight line from South to North at approximately 8:45 PM CST. No sound as it cruised above. I could not estimate size or distance. I could not estimate speed but it did pass across the night sky very quickly. No lights just a slight reflected glow from lights on the ground.

While walking at Ala Moana Beach Park, other evening, we observed a bright reddish object floating and drifting in the skies, out over The ocean. About 1/2 mile away. And elevation about the same. Bright object perhaps 60 feet in diameter This object floated and slowly drifted offshore, sighting lasted 3-4 minutes. A subsequent, second identicalobject appeared a few minutes later. It too remained suspended in sky over ocean, then slowly drifted SW and out of sight! We returned to same location last night with camera; however Objects never reappeared!

A light flashes down with rainbows in a video my mom took of a bird. After a second or two of this, next in the video a small rectangular or double cigar haled object goes across the screen in three frames. The video captures at 16fps so the object blurs across the screen. I made stills to capture the object as it is too difficult to see if you watch the whole video. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was heading South on Baird Road. I was right in front of the library on that road, I looked up saw a bright white rectangle hovering. I was the only car and light source on the road. It suddenly stretched into a different shape almost arrow like. It was VERY bright white that got brighter and more narrow as it took off.

Walkertown, NC
Sitting at a traffic light on the way home from work. Sky was dark due to pending storm. There is an area of light break in the sky and there as a moving/dancing clear square in that lighter area of the sky. Moving up and down but twisting. Then it disappeared. Lasted but a min. or two. Just thought someone should know. It was very unusual.

I was on my balcony around 22:15 this evening when looked up at the sky and saw this rectangular shaped object with bright red lights and flashing green lights. It did not look like an aeroplane or a helicopter. It stood still in the sky for about less than a minute. It was amazing because it moved so swiftly for something so big (even from such great distance I could see it was big). And it rotated around for a bit and seemed to glide effortlessly with only the red lights still shining brightly.

While driving on Route 22 in the U turn to drive towards Flemington, I saw a white rectangular square, elongated object flying slightly diagonally over the tree line. I heard no sound, but it flew very slowly. It was more square than cylindrical. I tried to turn around and find it again but it disappeared under the tree line and I was unable to stop and take a picture as I was in a u-turn.

Elma, WA
On 9-10-16, apx. 12-1210pm, while on my daily walk, I saw a large, shimmering, fast moving, rectangular shaped object for 3 to 5 seconds. The sky was clear blue, cloudless, windless, sun up and shining. I was near Utility Lane, Elma, Washington, walking eastwards. Elevation is about 300 ft. The object appeared to head from Northerly direction east of ELMA to a Southerly direction towards Oakville, over the tops of hills that are about 500 ft in elevation. After about 3 seconds, it turned to a black color, and dropped in altitude, and became obscured by a closer hill. Never saw object again. Did not hear any sound. Unable to determine distance and size of object from my vantage point. Speed was significantly faster than a standard prop plane. Also, there were no noticeable aircraft flying even though there is a small airport nearby, and this is in a flight path for military aircraft as well as SEA-TAC International airport. I've seen many planes, ultralights and helicopters on a near daily basis in the area, over many years, and this was not one of them. The only reason for this report is the extremely bright shimmering, approaching a welding arc color in brightness. Difficult to look at. Even aluminum skinned planes aren't this bright! As a side note, I mentioned this to a friend in Oakville, WA. She was on the phone to a friend in California when she heard a sudden thundering sound that somewhat echoed, and was gone as fast as it started. She heard this about the same time as I witnessed the object in question, from my location about 15 miles away. It may or may not be related.
