Marathon, FL
On the night of either July 6th or 7th, 2016 about 11:00pm-11:30, in Marathon Key, Fl. my husband and I were sitting in front of the Atlantic Ocean, both looking up at the stars in the sky. There were a few clouds around and a fair amount of stars, which was all we saw. We had been there approx. 10 or 15 min. looking into the sky. My husband was sitting to my left and looking to his left, and I glanced to my right. I saw 5 transparent rectangular shapes that were lit up, in a V or horseshoe formation, in the sky, above the horizon. They were not moving, they were very large and defined, all exactly alike, covering a good amount of sky, and they were not solid; I could see right through them to the sky behind them. I distinctly recall seeing a wispy cloud floating by in one of the rectangles. I didn’t see where the source of this huge pattern of light could be coming from, and in an instant they moved very rapidly, all together, upward in the sky, in a q! uick vertical motion and the “light” went out. I did not hear any sound. The sky was then exactly as it had been: dark, with stars. This all happened in probably 2 seconds; I was just about to say to my husband, “Do you see this?” but didn’t have time! I’ve never seen anything like this in my 53 years and I’m not one for flights of fancy. The only thing I can think of to compare it to (in a way), was some years ago when I was on a stargazing trip out on a boat and the tour guide had one of those laser pointers, which he would very briefly, point into the sky--- I remember how far the light seemed to travel and the way it lit up the sky in the area he pointed to….this rectangular light reminded me of that. But I’m not familiar with lasers and if they would be capable of doing the above as I described, with this huge shape and pattern. So I decided to search online and report what I saw here. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Hawthorne, CA
I was sitting on the lawn of my grandmothers house shortly after nine pm on the Fourth of July. We observed several Chinese lanterns to the north and there were intermittent fireworks going off around us. A short while later I observed what at first glance appeared to be an airplane. It was flying quite low, less then five hundred feet and yet made no sound. It was moving slowly. I first noticed its front lint which was white and solid but emitted no beam. The other lights on the wings were flashing but they were also bright white and emitted no beam. They were flashing at a much faster rate than any wing lights I have ever seen and they were to bright as well. Then instead of a rotating red beacon on the bottom it had a flashing white light. There was no body to the craft that I could see. I pointed it out to my godfather who is an engineering technician at Raytheon. He said he had never seen anything like it. He pointed it out to my grandfather, a retired naval aviation mechanic, who caught a fleeting glimpse as it flew away to the southeast and he was about as baffled as we were. The craft came from northwest to southeast and was visible for only about thirty seconds.

At first we thought it was a low flying helicopter. The sound was eerie. I ran to get my cell phone to take a pic. The aircraft was silver and gray. It looked like an arrowhead. The lights were orange. The ship flew between two bright lights! Then it soedef straight up and disappeared. I have pics!

Northwest Medford, OR
While walking dog in my neighborhood, I saw a bright rectangular shape in the sky. It had rectangular lights that began from left to right, 1 white, 2 reds, 1 white. I thought at first that it was a plane, but rather than moving forward, it first hovered without any movement- just stayed in the same spot in the sky. It then moved left - sideways. It hovered again briefly, moved downward, then flashed all lights three times together, then disappeared!

Vestavia, AL
I walked out of a restaurant. A thunderstorm with possible tornado activity was heading our way, so I looked up at the clouds. I clearly saw a rectangular craft, about 800 feet up. It was moving towards me from east to west. It crossed hwy 280 then turned abruptly left (south) and paralleled hwy heading south. The craft appeared to be about 20 feet in length and about ten feet wide. Might have been a hover craft or alien drone. Completely silent made a sharp left turn more like an abrupt change of direction. Craft was moving.slowly. Oddly i seemed to have a mottled coloring almost like camouflage. I had an uneasy feeling as i observed it. A mild sense of dread. I'm a veteran with much experience with military craft. We have nothing like this.

Fenton, MI
Multicolor lights on one craft coming from the west - mostly white with red, blue, and green hugh glowing big and bright from at least 10 miles away with some lights flashing. As it got closer approximately 3 miles away over Fenton Michigan it turn 90 degrees to the north and headed towards the Flint Area. At one point the main lights went dim and through the binoculars the craft was dimly outlined in hundreds of very small white lights, (a few flashing white from right to left - but no red or green - just white). The craft was rectangular shaped - long and skinny - about the length of a maybe two large passenger jets. The whole affair lasted till 12:05 am - 10 minutes.

New Egypt, NJ
Object slowly entered viewing area right before midnight, roughly 25 feet above tree line. Hovered in place while slightly drifting about multiple axis'. Stayed in place for roughly 10 minutes before heading northeast from our location. Within minutes, 5 fighter jets were seen heading in the direction the object went, one after the other, roughly 15 seconds apart. Object was too quite to have been powered by a turbine combustion engine of any kind, tree tops(pine) only slightly moved around, nowhere near enough to reflect adequate downdraft from any kind of propellers to keep the object hovering. It was roughly 30' by 15', no lights or distinct edges. Bottom appeared to be semi-spherical. Only audible noise was that of a hydraulic whine, maybe 40-50 decibels. A distinct smell followed, similar to welding gas, possibly some sort of ionization.

Noticed an orange glowing flying object in sky moving very slowly from east to west in my backyard. Very high up. Videotaped it briefly on my phone and grabbed binoculars in house. Came out in from of house to catch a glimpse. What I thought was round appeared to be square like object in the binoculars. Lost sight as it went passed tree sight. Definitely not a plane.

I am a disabled Veteran, with severe orthopedic issues. I am often outside in the spa, at all times of day and night. On this particular night, I was star gazing sitting in the spa, when I craft, that very similar to the type you'd see in the Predator movies, flew right over the house. It came from the direction of Sacramento and I could see it coming from miles away. It literally looked like the scene in Predator, every time they get ready to come down from the ship, in the movie. As a propulsion engineer, the first thing I looked for was some kind of propulsion signature from the rear of the craft, but there was nothing and no noise!!! No noise at all!!!

Sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette, I noticed 3 lights hovering over the tree line, I then pointed it out to my gf, and we began trying to figure out what it could be. during this process the object stayed hovering for about the time it time it took to finish my cigarette, at this time we started walking in that direction. it seemed almost as soon as we began to walk towards it the object began moving and the light formation had changed it began with one yellow light in front one in the back and a red/orange one in the middle. This time it was yellow yellow red. As we reached a clearing a little down the road we were able to see the object pretty clearly as it slowly went downward. This aircraft was easily 3 times the size of a grounded airplane had only 3 lights and made absolutely no sound at all. it went behind a small group of tree but then never came out the other side. As we were walking back to the house we noticed multiple airplanes and one helicopter almost surveying the exact area we just witnessed this enormous aircraft. :note: I have always been a skeptic about UFOs but tonight just changed that. This thing was like a ocean liner in the sky and just above tree level there is no other explanation for that. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

My son and I were walking at a local park. It was sunny and the sky was cloudless. As we were walking we looked up and saw two reflective rectangular objects at a very high altitude. These objects were not floating like air balloons, nor were they flying like planes. They did not leave any vapor trails. They were moving pretty fast and simply moved behind the trees out of our field of vision. As we kept walking, and got back to another clearing, we saw two more of the same type of objects and behind them were three small airplanes flying in formation appearing to be in pursuit. The planes were unmarked. My son seemed to think they were military.

I was looking at Saturn with my telescope. It's a celestron 17.5" mirror, by 8' long, telescope conveniently my camera froze and would not take pictures until it was out of sight. All I could see was the lights on it because they were so bright it was rectangular in shape it had four bigger lights on each corner and four smaller lights in the middle area. It was not in our atmosphere and it made no sound it was going from the northwest to southeast. Saturn was in the background when It flew in to view of my telescope.

While swimming with my family, I noticed what looked like a rectangular cube hovering high in the sky, it was spinning, and one side of it was darker than the others or had a mirror finish. It would go into the few clouds that were around it, completely disappear, then reappear a few seconds later. The object did that a few times before going back into a cloud and completely vanishing for good. My wife saw, and even managed to get a picture of either this object or what was possibly a second object, but she described this one as being more of a round shape, with the same color scheme to it, the picture however, was taken on a cell phone and was too far away to be able to make out any details.

San Francisco, CA
One huge rectangular and one huge cigar shaped object seen hovering side by side over S.F. Bay. Through binoculars I watched a semi-transparent yellow orange rectangle with a huge cigar object on the left manuevering and moving very slowly near it. This rectangle did not look solid and seemed to fade in and out while changing shape and color. This object took on the shape of a glowing lampshade at times and at other times it changed shape lengthwise. Multiple cigar or disc shape objects appeared in a group of 3 at 9:45 P.M. and at 9:52P.M. a second group of 2 cigar objects and the rectangle appeared side by side. These cigar objects were much smaller than the first object seen hovering near the rectangle. After about 10 minutes the rectangle basically just faded away. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be sober-minded and sincere, in describing his sighting. However, we do not understand why other witnesses have not submitted other reports, given how dramatic an event the witness describes. PD

They came from a northwest sky moving to the southeast. They had an orange-yellow glow. The wide side of the object was the leading edge (like they were moving sideways). The space between the two objects appeared to be 2 to 3 times their length. There was no sound and they moved at a medium rate of speed until they were out of sight.

An object suddenly but slowly rose up in the western sky above the trees very close to where we were standing. It then began traveling east right across our sight line. It changed shape from a ball to a rectangular shape and the color shifted from orange to white. It was completely silent. After it crossed in front of us, the light began to pulsate several times. Our view was then partially blocked by some tree branches as it continued to pulsate and then never reappeared from behind the tree branches as expected. It just completely vanished as if it slipped behind some clouds but the sky was completely clear at the time.

Anchorage, AK
I was taking some video on my new S7 edge of a rare thunder storm with lightning flashes, which we very rarely get in our city. I noticed something gain altitude in a tumbling fashion out of my peripheral vision and quickly set myself up to record it as steadily as possible resting my arms against the corner of the building for support. The object was sort of oblong, or perhaps even rectangular, and black or very dark in color. I live adjacent to 2 active airstrips, one being the small craft airport Merrill Field, and the other being JBER (Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson), and so I am very familiar with aircraft of ALL SORTS. Everything from single engine Cessnas to AWACS (I've even taken a picture of a Royal Australian type of aircraft very similar to an AWACS but with a "table top" rectangular radar setup as opposed to the circular American style reconnaissance dish, I digress. The object had a very peculiar wobble and tumble to it as it pret! ty much remained on a straight heading moving from N/NE to W. It was unlike any plane, helicopter, drone, balloons or birds that I've ever seen and I am at a loss as to what it was. It IS a UFO in the truest sense of the term, although I can't say with any assurance that it was a "space craft" it is most definitely an enigma. I was able to follow it relatively smoothly for a couple of minutes before it disappeared behind some building and tree in the horizon. Perhaps Merrill Field or JBER may have visual or radar sighting of the object as well...

On my way home driving along the backroads of dukes park, two bright lights hovered over my vehicle, moving slow and soundless. I took multiple pictures and video from my iPhone 6+ and showed it friends and family. It's so amazing these objects where distinctly unique. This sighting is not my first but this is just up close and so vividly clear not from this planet! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

A silent, fast moving, rectangular object with two large, light-orange lights (not flashing) passed at a constant speed north across the sky - smooth through cloud cover at about 4x the speed of normal aircraft in the area. The lights appeared to be at the front and back end of the craft, more diamond or square shaped than round lights, with a soft, even glow. The body of the craft was faint. It was completely silent in a quiet Sunday evening sky. I was on the back patio, talking on the phone.
