Predawn a very bright "star" was noticed to the south, (Venus was NE of us) over time the Light brightened, was joined by 4-5 others then took on rectangular shapes very bright (like light reflecting off a window - however, another appeared 10-30 miles to the east identical brightness, different angle) from these rectangular glowing panes bus like ships began to extrude on a western heading (except the one to the east, which was identical, but went to the east). The Ships had Large windows (about 6-8) on the visible side as they slowly made their way westward as though extruded from the bright rectangles. The lead ship had two shafts at about 2/3 of the way back which were joined by another bar connecting them at the top, these were tilted backward at about 25 degrees. Looking almost exactly like the bars on a trolly connecting it to power. The ships were light tan almost a desert color. Once all ships were through and headed westbound the trolley-like apparatus dissolved, parts of it fading away like it was lost in the clouds, though none occluded the ship itself. The loss of the attachment did not appear to hamper its flight in any way. . . it seemed to have simply served its purpose and was no longer needed.

I first thought the bright light was a satellite. It was coming from the northeast, heading southeast, and moving very fast. As the object came nearer, I noticed that it was cylindrical in shape, and seemed to be rotating. It appeared as though something was revolving around the bottom of the object, and a dimmer light would appear on the bottom left of the object, as it rotated. The object started heading towards the east, and then I lost sight of it behind some clouds.

large black tube shaped object, 50 ft long, began to ascend into the sky in a slow "swimming" motion, until it was no longer visible. 2 minutes

Moriarty, NM
Silver, very shiny/bright, cylindrical shaped craft was visible in sky for about 15 seconds. At first I thought it was a low flying commercial aircraft but it was too low and no wings, just a tube. Vanished in a heartbeat. Clear sky, no clouds, zero commercial air traffic around, broad daylight.

This was an amazing event. I was driving and proximately 50 km/h through my town at dusk when I noticed 3 black cylindrical shaped objects about the size of at small house each at approximately 300 ft in altitude equally spaced in a triangular formation about 100' from each other and traveling slightly slower than me. As soon as I could I pulled over and jumped out of my car. I happen to have high-powered astronomy green laser on me. I would never point that at any airplane, but I was completely confident that these objects were of such a strange nature! that I could point my laser them in an attempt to make contact. I could not even get a reflection, the moment my laser touched one of the objects it disappeared at which point a second witness saw me and a 1km visible green laser beam shining up into the sky in the direction of the 2 black remaining objects. there was no sound to these objects or lights. I proceeded to point my visible green laser at the second object and it disappeared. Then the Third, and there was nothing to look at. I waited there for a while to see if they would reappear and they did not. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Saw a tube like object traveling south to north at a not very fast speed...steady, but not as fast as a jet plane, nor was it that high...no wings or tail like a plane...looked white in the sun, not silver ...no vapor trail...just moving steadily...observed until it went out of my sight. I am a school bus driver for special needs child in wheelchair, and was outside of my bus lowering the lift and looked up at the beautiful blue sky when observed. Asked the student's Mom to help me identify what I was seeing...she could not, but saw it also.

Nelson, AZ
My wife and I were driving to Nelson, Nevada, a ghost town where movies are sometimes made. We were traveling north on I-95 and the sun was behind us. We noticed a small cloud about 30 degrees elevation ahead of us and below it was a long grey smooth shape. Its length was about twice the diameter of the moon. It looked like it could have been a cylinder - or the rounded edge of a flat object. The bottom edge was less distinct than the top and faded abruptly to the blue of the sky, much the same as how the moon looks when viewed in the daytime sky. Apparently it was very high to have that effect - and very large. Sketches sent by e-mail. We watched the object move left-to-right across our field of vision for about a minute. We couldn't stop to take a picture and we lost sight of it when the road turned. We were at: Lat: 35.7, Lon: -114.9 according to Google Earth. It did not have a cloud texture and was moving relative to the cloud, approximately east. The clouds were not perceptively moving. I suppose that the minimum altitude could be estimated based on knowledge of where the "fading" effect takes place for objects in the sky, but I don't know what that point is.

It was about 4 or 4:30 in the north when I arrived at seaport village. As I sat down to look at the view, I looked up and realized there was many stars. Some were brighter than the other like a gold shiny cylinder. As I was watching them I noticed they were moving. Not just in one direction, in various. There was different sizes and colors. Two other people walked up and sat down beside and I had told them, 'do you see what I see?' They both said yes in amazement. I have seen other encounters with space crafts but this one was the by far most interesting. As if they brought an army of them.

Not wanting to lose track of it, I didnt go get my camera, it suddenly flashed again ,disappeared and reappeared a short disance away glowing a bright orange,at which time it flashed and was back at its original location in the west , it then flashed and disappeared. I sit out there most every night of the week and see many strange objects that cannot be explained by airplanes , satalites and the such.

Port Saint Lucie, FL
I did not see a thing and either did my older son, I did feel very fast blast of heat from my feet to my head, similar to that of a direction heater. I felt like I was being scanned like a barcode. *** and ***did see something...and were actually scared. At first I thought it was a bug, but it was dark but my camera's light was off because we were looking at the moon. It looks close, but then looking at it again, it seemed to go under the first cloud and over the second. I slowed it down and took some screen shots...and I still don't know what it was. We suspect that the object may have been a moth, or some moving object that was quite close to the camera. PD

Looked like a lantern kite, hovered up from what seemed to be beach area and headed north by northwest. However, its speed was someone like a fast helicopter...no noise, seemed to have a flame/flickering light source underneath it...so not like a tail of a fireball streak. Once it was at cruising altitude, it stayed parallel with ground and increased speed gradually till it was finally so far away the light became to dim to make out. Was not a plane or helicopter, and too close to earth and straight/steady to be some sort of falling debris. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) It's 100% true. I was playing with my son in the front yard and we were pointing up to the stars when we saw it. I always scoffed at reports like this and said, "Why wouldn't they have a picture" if it was real. Then of course, it happens to me, and not only did I not have my phone to take a picture...honestly I didn't even think about it. I was too busy staring at it, following it down the road, and if anything...looking around to see if my neighbors were out....but to no avail. I'll be out in the front yard again tonight, with phone in hand. Sorry for the lack of documentation, but I swear it's true. ((END ADDENDUM))

I was driving home from work at about 10 P.M., when I saw a very bright, white light in the sky. At first I thought it was a star or one of our planets in Earth’s view but then it started getting closer. I rolled down my window and looked up as it was flying into my line of vision. It had a red light flashing every few seconds as a normal airplane would, and it sounded like a helicopter. I thought it was a helicopter until it passed directly over me and I was completely shocked. The flying object looked like a missile or a spaceship. It was cylinder shaped with no wings, and appeared to have blue lights on the bottom. It was flying lower to the ground than an airplane would fly in a residential area. I would estimate it was flying at about 150 to 200 mph. (It was traveling slow enough to make the object out. It wasn’t just a blur.) I’m certain this unidentified flying object was not any commercial airplane or helicopter.

I was driving East on 89-A at approximately 9:10 PM MST, when a bright green tubular object appeared at about 30 degrees above the horizon just off to the left of me. It arced up to about 45 degrees, moving in a southerly direction, and then back down and disappeared at about 30 degrees.

Stover, MO
March 1, 2016, 6:05 pm, 16 miles SW of Stover, MO. Observed a cylinder shaped object just north of our home, about 300 feet above the cove hovering, than object did a turn to the right than left and it had 3 bright yellow lights on the rear as it moved north and then vanished. It was still light out and the sun was reflecting off of the object. I got a side view and it had large cylinder main body, and 2 smaller cylinders on each side and appeared that all three were connected. Triangle shaped lights on the rear as it moved away. No noise and had no wings. Very large craft. Larger than a passenger jet. I observed it for 30 seconds before it vanished.

We turned around to slap a picture and it went straight up in the clouds. It didn't make a sound just moved up in the clouds and left. It was silver in color and looked like a blimp.

I got up at 5:07 am to observe the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter) that were to be visible in a 45 degree upward slanting line in the southern sky from June 20th to February 20th before daybreak. The cloud cover made it impossible to observe this phenomenon. HOWEVER, I observed a cylinder shaped object above the tree line about a mile south of my second story window that was stationery and glowing pulsating red lights on the lower right two-thirds and glowing pulsating white lights on the lower left third. The upper part of this craft was dark. I watched this object for two minutes, finally determining that this must be a cell tower that had not been there before. I went back to bed. At 6:11am, I got up to see if the cloud cover had dissipated but it was still present so the planetary alignment was still not visible. There were no pulsating red or white lights in the distance either. The cylindrical shaped object was gone. No cell tower was visible either. I'll have another look at daybreak. At 8:33am I looked out, the sun was breaking through and there was NO cell tower in that object's position or anywhere in the southern sky. You tell me what it was......

My mom and I were going outside to walk our dog when she suddenly saw something high up in the sky. I didn't see it at first but she pointed it out. There, I saw this bright-orange glowing object moving across the sky at a constant rate. It looked like a stripe and it never slowed down. It was moving faster than any plane I've ever seen. It made no sound, didn't leave a trail, and there were were no blinking lights. I ran inside to grab the video camera but it vanished when I got back outside. She said it just abruptly disappeared into thin air. I only got footage after the sighting. I don't know what it was but we clearly saw it. I'm interested in the paranormal as I will have a future hobby involved with the unexplained. However, I'm open minded and resort to logic very often. It couldn't have been a shooting star, a meteor, or a satellite. It didn't look anything like them. I looked at other photos of UFOs and found a picture of three of them that look identical to the one we saw. I'm still trying to find a logical explanation.

BEFORE I COULD REACH FOR MY CELL PHONE, IT DISAPPEARED BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS. Video captured by a beach camera at Doheny Park, Dana Pt., CA. Object appears to us to be a meteor, streaking from west to east. Please see video on NUFORC homepage. PD

As it passed in front of me I noticed a red light in back and green light in front and it was fairly low in the sky. It went out of sight and another identical craft came by but this one had bright white light on one side. I've seen some interesting things in the area in the last ten years but this is the first time Ive ever reported it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
