I take a nightly walk every night down the same street, so I would consider myself fairly familiar with the different land marks of the area. I have lived in this neighborhood for 10+ years and know what to expect from neighbors lighting off fireworks or a plan flying overhead. It was a very clear, cool and calm night with lots of stars out, no breeze, low humidity and no clouds in the sky. On this nightly walk I had barely rounded the corner on the block headed away from my house and heading east when I noticed an orange glowing object in the sky. At first I thought it was just a plane, this thought only lasted a few seconds as I realized it was heading in a westerly direction towards me and also ascending very slowly. In this second I stopped and watched it. It was about the size of a street lamp when you are standing under a street lamp but did not shine like a street lamp. In fact, it just glowed and cast no light. It made no sound. Was rectangular in shape with the longer ends being on the top and bottom. The top may have also been bigger. It also had a weird halo underneath it. The color was a very rich orange color. It did not fluctuate in color or intensity. It was hard to tell distance at night but I would say maybe 200-300 yards away from me? Maybe more? I turned around and began to quickly walk home realizing I could not explain what I was seeing. I pulled out my phone and texted my partner that I “See a UFO”. The time of that text was 21:58. I was scared mostly because it appeared like it would fly over me if it continued. I thought about filming it but for some reason didn’t feel like I had time. As a quickly walked home, keeping my head over my shoulder to watch the object, I turned the corner to the street my house is on I saw the object pulse about 2 times and then shrink in size before completely going out. It then blinked 3 times exactly and was gone. These blinks were not pulses. They were your “off and on” type blinks. I would say the total duration that I saw the object was no less than 3 minutes but no more than 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

On August 26th, 2016, at approximately 20:15, three black rectangular objects each with a single light were seen in the sky at dusk. They were traveling in a straight line with 2 closer together and one lagging behind. The altitude of the objects appeared to be between what an ultra light aircraft would fly and what a small aircraft would fly. As the objects approached at a constant speed from the northwest, the lights went out. The objects were still visible and at least one appeared to be rotating. The objects passed by close without any sound or visible means of propulsion or lift. The closest airport to their path is the Limerick PA airport. We (the observers) are husband and wife. We are both engineers in their early 50s and neither has seen an unidentified object in the sky previously. As engineers, we have been trying to come up with a logical explanation of the objects but have not been able to do so. We considered such things as ultra light aircraft, weather balloons, drones, and gliders. None of these seemed to fit what we observed.

Saturday 08/24/16 Approx: 12:20-12:30 I was making a right turn heading northeast. As I turned the corner at the light, there is a group or a very large palm tree right at the corner on my left as I start up the street. To the right of the palm tree, I observed something in the sky that I had never seen before. There was a white rectangular object hanging in the sky. It looked like a flat screen TV. I slowed down and rolled down my window to see if there was any sound and there wasn’t. I was expecting it would move but it didn’t. I thought it might be an ad on a blimp and I would see writing but I didn’t. I looked back several times over my left shoulder, and could tell it wasn’t attached to anything, nor did it produce any advertisements. There were no lights attached. I was curious that it had a mist behind it, as well as a clumpy looking cloud on the left hand side. I can’t remember if it was upper or lower but was on the left hand side. I was so focused on the object that I don’t recall any other vehicles around the area. I was concerned about causing an accident, so, I started driving faster and paying attention to the road. Further up the road, before reaching my left turn I thought I would take one last look over my left shoulder and see if I could see it. I was startled to see a black one directly to my left. Same exact shape, mist behind it, as well as the exact same clump of cloud appearance, only this cloud was darker. The mist and clouds did not look a real cloud produced by nature. I slowed down almost to a stop and stared. It didn’t move. Once again I felt I was a hazard so drove to my left turn to get home. I thought I would never see it again, but, took one last look back. my sight was obstructed by tall trees and houses so, I couldn’t see it if it was still there. I thought, I will just focus on getting home safely. I proceeded to my last left turn to get home and as I looked to the right to see if there were any cars coming I saw a grey one. It was moving fast an! d was already quite a distance away. It was headed northeast. ! Instead of turning on my street, I followed the road to the right and was going to stop and get a picture. By the time I stopped it was moving so fast I couldn’t get my cell phone out to take a picture. I couldn’t see any dimension to the objects other than they were rectangular, and they were not shiny. They were more of a matte. When I first saw the white object, I voice texted my sister and told her, “I am looking at the closest thing to a UFO I have ever seen.” Neither of us had ever heard of any rectangular UFO sightings before my event. I don't know if this was one UFO turning colors or if it was in fact 3 separate.

Rectangular object with square lights on the same level but randomly spaced on the lower surface. The lights were bright making it difficult to discern the actual object which was about the size of a full size pick-up truck. The light were yellowish white. It was just above the trees next to the road in a rural area. It was quiet. It went west over the tree tops.

On Saturday, August 20, at approximately 21:15, my partner and I were standing on the rooftop deck of our hotel (along with 6-8 other hotel guests) watching the spectacular fireworks that are part of the St. Stephens Day celebration. A full moon was rising in the east at an approximately 45 degree angle from the fireworks. At approximately 21:15, I noticed a solid rectangular object covering the center one-third of the moon. I pointed this out to my partner and asked her to shift her video camera from the fireworks to the moon. She was able to capture the last few minutes of this incident, as whatever this object crossed the lower half of the moon and then disappeared. This could not not have been caused by the plume of smoke from the fireworks, as the object appeared quite solid and had perfectly straight, clearly defined edges. Nor were there any clouds in the sky that evening. I am a professional man of 57, and my partner is a 68 year-old retired university professor. We would be happy to share our video with you.

I was getting ready to pull into the driveway of the apartment complex and I was waiting for the gate to open. The sun had set but it was still light out. Above my 2-story apartment building, maybe 20 or so above, was an upright dark rectangular object. It's front was ringed with two rows of square lights. The outer ring of lights was turned to look like diamonds. One ring was white and one red. It was about 20 feet tall and the central core was inset several feet like a doorway or a hatch. It stopped at the edge of the top of the building, hovered and then the rings of lights pulsed and it continued moving east at what seemed like 10 mph. It made no sound.

Went on a jog, I slowed down while passing Bay View Beach, to see two parallel moving lights, flashing different colors. In the middle of lights was a giant 2D square, like a projector. Witnesses told me that it had shifting messages, circles to squares to blank, etc. Another family of people asked me what I thought it was. Sister and friend say they saw it earlier in the day. Up close underneath a storm of clouds. Possible electromagnetic effect, IPhone 5 got put on airplane mode. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and have requested that other witnesses to the alleged event submit reports, as well. The original date and time of the alleged sighting are flawed, and we have amended both above. PD

Longmont, CO
n August 13, 2016. About 2:15 a.m. I was watching the Perseid Meteor shower from my home. I saw what I thought was an airplane. It had red, green and blue flashing lights. We live about 7 miles west of Vance Brand Airport in unincorporated Longmont, so at first I thought it was OK. Then it grew larger, moving from a direct northeast direction then turned west where it came closer to me and larger in the sky. I noticed the big boxy shape, like a large rectangle. This did not look like a normal airplane to me at all! It was too big and square. I had a sense of dread as it grew larger and said many prayers, mostly anti-abduction! Really felt uneasy! Then, it finally flew back east of my property. If anyone has any insights as to what this plane was, I'd be glad to hear them!

I stepped outside to look for meteors, and looked about 45 degrees SW towards the moon and saw a bright red, almost life fire from a night air balloon, moving across the sky very fast. The lights we're not flashing or changing colors, but were like a glowing red and orange. The glowing area was close enough near the moon that it appeared to be half the size of the moon. It was probably no more than 5 miles away. I could hear a humming or rotary sound like an airship of some kind. But it moved across the sky towards to the SW and was gone from wight within 20 to 30 seconds. I missed about 10 when seconds, when I ran inside like an idiot to tell my son.

Lima (Peru) · Peru
It was in 2016 in Lima, Peru in the Miraflores neighborhood. Corner of Avenida Benavides/Ramirez Gaston. I was standing at the crosswalk traffic light waiting to cross the street. About 60 meters up, I noticed a box-shaped, metal object not much bigger than a moving box with black and blue stripes. It was coming from the direction of Avenida La Merced. It floated completely silently and in a straight line at low speed (about 10km/h) towards Ramirez Gaston (the continuation of La Merced street). Poles stuck out on each of the four sides. There was no smoke, no lights, nothing reflective, no noise of any kind. No propeller, no jets. The object was too small to have occupants. Some passersby around me also saw it and pointed it out to me. No one had an explanation. When the light turned green, I crossed the street and the object was already too far away.

Exact E-Mail sent to a friend in Chicago: About a week ago, I was sitting on my second story balcony. I was looking at a glob of cobweb on several of the nearby trees and remembered that we had eight papershell pecan trees on our farm and lost three to the same caterpillar worms that created those webs. I thought that they were catalpa worms, but I was mistaken. I gazed over to another much taller tree and was looking for the same glob of cobwebs that I had seen before in that tree. Then I jumped up from my seat and was amazed at what I saw crossing the sky, almost out of sight. It was so high. I went inside and returned seconds later, with binoculars (10x20) to see the same object disappear behind a cloud. I never got the binoculars up to my face. I fear commitment into the local sanatorium, should I mention what I saw that day. It had all the appearances of a flying boxcar. No, no, not the WW 11 Flying Boxcar. This object looked brown in color and had no wings or appendages of any type. It looked like a railroad boxcar. Now then, if you want to have me evaluated for mental exhaustion or dementia of the worse kind, I will gladly keep my door unlocked if you tell me when they might arrive. I know I saw what I saw, if you know what I mean. I made the mistake of telling my immediate neighbor whose door is two feet from my door. She is a nurse at the local hospital. We are friends and she is getting married in September. She playfully said that "OH, no, your not seeing things, those do exist and I can't remember what they are called." Then the subject was quickly changed. Understand, I have majored in philosophy in college, and the proper instructions of using ones five senses are well incorporated in my mind. I believe in and follow the philosophy of 'Objectivism." So, am I seeing things? Do I need to self commit? Do you have any knowledge of the brown flying boxcar that I observed on that day? I am not signing my name to this comment.

I live in North Phoenix in a rural community and live behind a wash. I have a webcam in my backyard for security. It points North and if something passes by it will send 6 photos of it to my email. On 7/31/16 there were a lot of lightning, no thunder. The next day I got a lot of email from the webcam because of the lightning. One in particular was shot at 8 pm on 7/31/16. If you enlarge the photo you will notice a square object at the end of the lightning. I just thought the shape of this was unusual and I never saw square lightning before.

while driving on RT 55 Northbound in the Elmer-Franklinville area I was able to see a very shinny white rectangle flying low and very fast through the cloud layers. Due to the trees and the flight direction, i lost sight of the object very quickly. But it was flying east to west in a low arc though the clouds, and what caught my eye was the reflection by the sun on its surface which created a flash effect. I managed to witness it for no more than 10 seconds and then it was either gone or within the cloud bank. The clouds where very think and the sun was very bright.

Buhl, ID
On Wednesday, July 27th, 2016 at approximately 2238 hours, in the City of Buhl, County of Twin Falls and State of Idaho, my husband and I we're at the intersection of Clear Lakes Road and the Highway 30 traffic light. We were facing south preparing to turn eastbound when the light turned green. My husband was driving and I was the frontseat passenger. It was a clear night with lots of stars out. I happened to look through the trees in front of us, across the road to the south. I believe something caught my eye. The light turned green, and as we were turning to the left, I noticed the street lights seemed to be moving or trailing lights. Then I realized that the lights weren't moving; it was something right above them or what seemed to be almost parallel with them above them. I noticed something very low in the sky just above the tree line, that looked kind of like long railroad cars, traveling eastbound with orangish lights at the bottom. This was a huge mass in the sky and I began to verbalize to my husband something like, “what the F*#@ is that!” Fair Street (4100 N 1500 E) was just immediately to the right (south)of us, where you can turn Southbound and the object in the sky looked to be almost landing behind the buildings and the grocery store on Highway 30. It looked to be going behind Ridley’s Market or the Kacy Meadows Apartment complex. My husband pulled into the grocery store because that was actually where we were headed before going home that night. I told him to keep going east through the parking lot, because the object had become too low and I was searching for a clearing between the buildings to view it. We pulled in between King's Department Store and the laundromat, which share the same parking lot as Ridley’s Market, onto a little dead end street. We could again see the object heading eastbound so we decided to turn around and follow it. It seemed to already be about a mile east of where we had first witnessed it, but was now higher in the sky. We got back out onto Highway 30 (4100 N) in front of the buildings and headed Eastbound at 45 miles per hour down ‘Millionaire Row’ out of Buhl. The homes and the tree line on the south side of the road obstructed our view from the object for a short time as we traveled out of Buhl. We could now see the object up in the sky, probably another half mile to the East of us, but now it looked to be in a vertical position instead of horizontal. We turned southbound at approximately 1700 East, just one mile east from where we first saw the object in the City of Buhl. After traveling approximately one mile southbound, I made my husband pull over and I got out of the truck to see if I could see the object clearer because it was now on the driver’s side of the vehicle and seemed to be hovering or moving really shlow. It looked to be about a half mile off the ground. At this time, I saw a plane circling to land at the Twin Falls airport south of Twin Falls, Idaho. The plane looked to be about a mile or so higher in the sky than the object we were following. For a second, I thought maybe this was a strange aircraft also heading towards the airport, but it wasn’t. The object looked to still be heading eastbound, slightly curving to the south. We began to drive southbound again, where I knew if we could get onto 3700 North and travel eastbound, we could drive without having stop signs and have clear visibility to keep tracking the object and perhaps get nearer and underneath it. We headed eastbound on 3700 North at approximately 45 to 50 miles per hour. The object seemed to be hovering now and not moving that much or at a slow rate of speed. I told my husband to turn on the next mile road, turning left, back towards the north. It seemed that at that point, we would be able to get a closer observation and still be able to maneuver in a few directions if the object decided to start off again. The next mile road was 1800 East. We had traveled approximately 3 miles to the east from first seeing the object. We parked our truck once again at the side of the road and turned the lights off, so we could get a better view of the object in the sky. I believe we watched the object for approximately 5 minutes when it proceeded to then slowly move back towards Buhl but in a northwest direction instead of straight back to the west. We were afraid we would lose sight of the object because it seemed to be moving at a rapid pace and towards the North and we knew the roads we were traveling on broke up between fields. I was able to keep tracking the object with the passenger side window down while my husband drove the vehicle westbound on what I believe was 3800 North. The object seemed to be high in the sky and moving quickly in a northwest direction. We then turned northbound on 1700 East and continued northbound until we stopped at Highway 30 (4100 North). I then told my husband to head West, back into Buhl and to try to navigate to the Buhl Cemetery area (1574 E 4150N), where I knew there would be no city lights and a clearing, where we could view the object in the sky. We then turned Northbound taking a right on 1600 East and traveled a half mile to the cemetery Road and then continued a short length afterwards and again parked the vehicle at the side of the road and turned off all the lights. The object that I'd been tracking seemed to be a couple miles west of Buhl. I gauged it over some irrigation pipeline for reference, so my husband could find it in the sky when he got out of the vehicle. After a short time watching the object we had tracked, three more lights came to the area where the original object was located in the sky; 2 from the south and 1 from the north. They looked to be in formation with the object we had tracked, approximately a half a mile apart from each other object. I pointed these lights out to my husband. (texted my daughter at 2302 & 2304 hours) I called my youngest daughter (2307 hours) to tell her what we had been seeing. She called back (2308 hours) and told her I wasn't sure who to contact in order to see if these were military aircraft; knowing that the military base near Mountain Home, Idaho would be having a three week drill coming up this next month. The 4 lights seemed to be moving slower towards the west; but still slightly visible to the eye. My husband decided that since the lights were now too far away to view, and our cell phones were not capable of taking good video or images, that we would go home and he would try to locate the objects in the sky with his field glasses. When we got home, located approximately 2 miles south of our Cemetery location, we were out in the front of our driveway and we did not see anything in the sky right away. Within a couple of minutes, I saw a light appear again in the west. It got brighter as it moved east. There was a regular type of aircraft circling low in the sky, that seemed to stay on the outskirts of this ufo object; as if it was tracking it. The object came from the West, low in the sky (vertically), and headed Northeast at a slow pace. My husband had his field glasses and said that the object looked like a Christmas tree shape. The object was low in the sky. As it traveled further to the east, it was harder to tell if it was traveling vertically or horizontally. There was no way to tell if this object was the same one that we had initially tracked or a different object; however, it was the same shape and size as the object we had seen when we had tracked it east of Buhl and had parked at the roadside to make observation. I went inside the house and got online to see if our local newspaper or news channel had anything posted; which they didn’t. I then went to the UFO report website to find the instructions on how to report this. During our tracking of this ufo, I had tried calling and texted the City of Buhl on-duty officers; my coworkers. I had also called and talked to my daughter to see if she could get online and s

Bristol, RI
My father and I witnessed a very bright object in the southwestern sky over Bristol, RI. We presumed the sun was reflecting off a plane or maybe even the international space station. It was light enough outside to see a relatively large rectangular object, moving about as fast as the ISS from SW to SE at about 40-45 degrees. The color appeared to be a sparkling yellow. I could not make out any wings. The object was larger than a plane, that would have been visible in the sky, at the same altitude. I checked the NASA website to see if it could have been the ISS and we were much too early for a sighting. The speed of the craft was steady and moved across the sky until it was out of our sight. No distinguishing markings could be seen because of the reflected light. It was just so much larger than anything I have ever seen in the sky. I heard about the solar plane and suspected it could have been that but its flight plan had it leaving Egypt for its last leg of its flight to Abu Dhabi. The observers were 64 and 93 years old.
