Salem, NM
I was facing the horizon above the freeway connecting Garfield to Hatch from a hill in Salem. The sky was clear but very dark, when gigantic squares (probably 4 to a row) lit up very bright yellow or white light and formed two rows. I have never seen anything this large in this sky in my life. The lights lasted about 5 minutes, and then faded out. It was too obscured to see what shape they were when the lights went out, but you could see that the object was still in the sky. Also, when the lights went dark you could see a helicopter with dim lights fleeing from the object at great speed. (( We have requested more, and more detailed, information from the witness. We will include it here, if and when it arrives.

I viewed what I think might have been a drone in the shape of an airplane. It was going so slow at one point. My car passed it on Rte 13 going southbound and it surprised me as my car was going 55 mph and I was pulling away from it at one point as it was traveling southbound as I was. Then it gained speed and proceeded southbound towards Philadelphia ahead of me. I later saw the object flying over Penn Valley Rd and headed towards Trenton. This time I was outside with another person and I could hear that it made noise like a very quiet airplane, but it was much larger than a Piper Cub. It had red flashing lights at times. It was weird that it was so low. Nothing about it appeared extraordinary other than the slow speed at which it traveled next to my car going southbound on Rte 13.

I was walking when I looked up ahead of me I noticed a large what I would say rectangular UFO that was the size of a aircraft carrier. It was at night but it did not seem that far up in the sky. And it seemed to just float at ease it made no noise whatsoever it had a red orb in the front and two red orbs side to side which were distant from the first I would guess at about 50 yards and after that were another 2 orbs at 50m yards it just floated smoothly like it was not even going 10 mph it seemed just silently floating in the sky. Than it was just gone. I looked around hoping to see if any one else saw this. I mean this was in Scranton, PA, and what bothered me was something thus size so large was not seen by anyone else? Witness provides no contact information. Date of occurrence is flawed and illogical. Hoax?? We have changed the date and posted. PD

A large object exceeding a football field wide with extremely bright lights (approximately 15) with 2 flashing. The object was moving south to north fairly slowly making a humm noise. I would guess approximately 2000' above the ground.

Stepped out my front door making a phone call. While talking notice an orange/reddish/yellow glow in sky coming from westerly direction. I kept my eyes on it seemed to be about 200 feet above trees was moving in a straight path traveling north but mostly east direction. As it passed over house I followed it at one point it had a rectangular shape I think it resembled a kite type frame kinda a stick Frame it was brief then it was just a fireball passed over watched until it disappeared from view. Lasted a couple minutes moved at a steady pace not fast not slow. Reminded me of watching a glider plane. I do not recall any sound it made. Do have photos

Was at the public boat launch at Otsego Lake, closest to the village taking pictures of the skies since they had just cleared up from a day and a half of rain. As I was taking photos of the sunset (looking west) I noticed a slow flying white object quietly skimming through the air. Its movements were smooth and it was travelling from north to south. I had my phone camera and decided to zoom as far as I could with it and take a picture. I couldn’t determine that it was a rectangle until I looked closer at the photo today just by chance. Using extra zoom I could enlarge the photo enough to see that it was indeed a white rectangle (not a blimp like I considered) and on the bottom it had a bright amber reflection (lights?). There was also a haze encasing all sides of the object. It flew off and slightly turned more south. Only today did I realize the photo that I had. I am an adult female, 52 years old, and a hobby photographer. This is the first time! I’ve caught a photo like this. As a child I saw 3 UFO’s, with bright pink lights, jumping up and down in one area and zigzagging and seeming to follow my friend and I. Scared the heck out of us.

We grabbed the binoculars and watched it it was silent and moved very slow after we started watching it. It was about as big as a commercial jet. Completely silent and moved into a clou. We watched for it to come out but it didn't. It just disappeared.

My security cameras picked up 3 different UFO's between 18:01-18:10 on Christmas. All three appeared to be ascending & first appeared in the same general area. They were very bright & were in camera view for as long as 30 seconds. I saved the video to a flash drive & would like to send it to you.

It is just a transparent object trailing the clouds produced by an aircraft. I was looking at the trail (I always think that the aircraft trails is somehow connected to the outer space creatures because like the Mayans said about a flying snake, it looks like a snake trail from the ground, also sometimes those trails just produce some crazy lines that lot people doesnt know about and i just saw this one trail one day that was like a logo or a marking of something thats not from this world) I just saw this transparent object that was reflected by the sun out of nowhere and I was just looking at it and tried to tell my friend about it while i was looking at it and it just disappeared out of nowhere. It is just a transparent object it must be a boxed or a rectangular shape to produce that kind of reflection from the sunlight. It was located at the west near the setting sun. It was my first time seeing a Unidentified Flying Object so I was so hyped about it tel! ling my friends about it. I think with a right timing and a good angle ill be a ble to see something like it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Video shows lights flashing like sending a code. Large aircraft (size of a football field) with bright, greenish lights rose from behind the trees and hovered in the same spot for almost 2.5 minutes. The aircraft appeared and disappeared at a high rate of speed, faster than any aircraft I am aware of while working in the aerospace industry. Although the lights appeared to the naked eye to be solid and not blink, the video shows white lights blinking intermittently as if they were sending a code. The two people I have shown the video to are a retired federal agent and defense subcontractor which both have stated the aircraft was not of this world.

Driving south on route 309 commented on the moon going in and out behind a cloud. Little did I know it wasn't the moon next thing we seen was this object come out from the cloud. it looked like two large head lights one red and about 8 lights lined up underneath whatever was in the sky. at first we thought it was going to land on route 309 or on top of us that's how low it was....odd thing was there was no noise. this object as we parked in mcdonalds to see it looked as though it was encapsulated in this cloud I did however take a picture but it was too far all you can see is a light in the distance.

Took my dog out around 4 in the morning. I looked up at the stars and saw this large square shaped object silently passing overhead, headed west. I couldn’t tell how far up but maybe 3 thousand feet or higher. The object blocked out the stars as I watched for a few minutes and could see this very large object was square shaped. As it passed overhead, a red light appeared at the back of the object and shot out towards the east. I couldn’t make out the shape of the red light or size. This red light quickly disappeared and I continued to watch as the larger object continue westward for about two more minutes.

Parker, AZ
I was driving at sunrise south on Highway 95 and had passed through Parker, Az. and was about 10 miles out of town southbound when I noticed 3 bright golden lights stationary to the east. I can only guess that they were probably 15 miles away and seemingly low, just a couple thousand feet up in the sky. The sun was still below the horizon, but was brightly coming up generally in the eastern direction of these objects and the golden color was as if the objects were metalic and reflecting the sunrise light, being vivid and bright. Right away it struck me that this looked odd. There were high thin obvious clouds to the east that stretched quite aways north to south, but they weren't thick enough to obscure some very distant jet traffic that could be seen a few times that would be consistent with jets leaving from the Phoenix airport. Those jets were very far off, barely discernible other than their contrail, but you could note they were going up from groun! d level and angling up to the north at typical angles and speeds for commercial jets to take off on. I didn't figure that the commercial jets were anywhere near these three objects, but much further away, and likely would not have seen them. While the far off jet traffic was playing out in the background, it emphasized the stationary manner and proximity of the three low and bright golden objects. The object that appeared to be closest to me, but not far from the other two objects that were slightly above and behind from my vantage point, appeared to be a long, thin rectangle of golden light with the long flat side being parallel to the ground as if level to it. The rectangle wasn't very tall relative to it's length and would be like this symbol --- proportionally. The other two objects were in a somewhat tight grouping with the rectagle, but were further away and I could not see any shape in that they were just bright golden circles, difficult to focus on for any detail. I was on vacation and carrying a camera in my car and knew that I should get a photo of these. There wasn't a very good place to pull over at first, but I knew there was gonna be a stop in a mile or so where State Highway 72 meets Highway 95 and I intended to stop there and do a photograph, but I was also anticipating that when I got on Hwy 72 I would be heading directly towards these objects and that if they remained in place for another 10 minutes of driving time I'd probably be getting pretty close under them for a closer view. When I came around the bend of the road where the highways meet and I'd intended to take a photograph, I was surprised to see an Az. State Trooper pulled across my lane, blocking it with a few orange cones out at the Highway 72 intersection. It could have been because of an accident down the road, and in retrospect I probably should have asked him, but as I drove up to ask him if indeed that road was closed he was seemingly perturbed because I had driven up to his vehicle and not just turning down the alternative highway. (95 toward Quartzsite). I didn't ask him about the lights that I'm sure he could have seen from his vantage point. I had to do a kinda funny maneuver then to get on to 95 southbound then and hoped he wouldn't give me a ticket, but he probably couldn't leave his post. As soon as I was on that other road a ridge started rising up and within a minute cut off my view of those objects so I never got a photo. Had I been able to get on that Hwy 72 the next town in about 10 miles is called Bouse, and I think that those objects were just a bit north of the highway and not far from Bouse. I observed these stationary objects for about 10 minutes and I never saw any movement. I looked at your site to see if there were any other collaborative report and see that someone saw something moving on the ground in the same general area at about the same time, so I decided to also report what I saw.

Please, this is not a joke or a hoax. I swear this experience to be true. I let my dog out around 4 in the morning, went out with her. I looked up and saw this huge square shaped object floating over our backyard. It was headed west following the state hwy. it was going at a slow pace and could see the shape was square because it blocked out the stars. There’s no traffic, a farming community and all was quiet. There were no lights on the object. However, an object flew out the backend and was lit up with a red light and flew east, in the opposite direction. As I watched, I just felt this jaw dropping feeling of awe, never seen anything like this in my life. I still think about it sometimes and it’s like, what the heck did I see? I am an honest man, have many friends who will attest to that. Worked all my life, always a positive outlook, no mental issues, known for my honesty.

Around 22:00 on Friday, December 4, I saw between 5 and 10 orange rectangular lights drifting across the night sky in a general northeastern direction. The National Weather Channel state the wind direction was blowing at 7mph in a SSW direction.

Today, Nov 30, 2015, in Mississauga, Ontario. Saw a square floating rectangle for two seconds heading North West. It floated toward building and went behind. I was southbound on Hurontario and stopped in my van by square one. I looked around to see if anyone else seen it. I looked for power lines. It had been way above. I looked for cranes. None. It was about 10 stories up, and grey/black. It was I can only assume ... the size of a semi truck. No lights. No noise. Time was around 1:30pm. As I was processing what I saw...another came. Exact same path. Same look. Same speed.. Disappeared behind building just the same. I can not explain or process what I saw. I didn't see a helicopter carrying this. Just a big dark rectangular box. Followed 20 seconds later by another??? I watched the skies the rest of the day...nothing.

I wasn't sure if it was just my eyes, I was ecstatic all of a sudden and yelled at my friend in his car across the street, "look in the sky bro! Look up!" He didn't until we left and I pointed it out to him, because it was directly above his car. Anyway right after I yelled at him my other friend came out and I was like "look at that" pointing, and she started tripping out! The neighbor then came out and looked at what was all the noise about. Us 3 standing observed it there for easily 8 minutes, without it moving anywhere. Then we got in my friends car and left. I was tripping out! Excited for minutes! Rectangular raft shape and a graying color with no lights on.

Tonight, my father told me of an object in the sky, Very high up where anyone in PA or US in general could see most likely. Looks like a star, but much brighter, and flickering lights. Looked like it was at the altitude of a commercial jet. A friend of my father has a telescope, and Said its absoluely a rectangle. Multple checks on flight radar and sky app say that nothing is supposed to be there. My father lives about 2 hours from me, and he could see it clearly, as could i almost.

November 13th, 930pm. It was a crystal clear evening with very little moonlight. I was standing out on my deck looking at the stars as I often do. Something caught my eye to the West. At first I thought it was a satellite. This was very high altitude. I then noticed that there were two soft glowing lights, one on each end of a rectangular shape. The shape had a slight curve toward the middle of both the front and back. It was traveling North to South. It also seemed to have a swirling bluish green glow moving in a random pattern all over the shape. I have viewed many satellites, the ISS and aircraft of all kinds. I have never seen anything moving this quickly across the sky. I would guess on average, a satellite would take 45 seconds to a minute to cross through my vision of sight. This object covered that same distance in 6-8 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On the night of November 9th, I saw a singular U.F.O come across the sky. The U.F.O was moving at rate faster than any plane or aircraft I've seen. The object had a light blue aura surrounding it, the aura had a tail as well. The tail was about 1/5 of total lenth. It appeared rectangular with a rounded front. It stared from the north west traveling south west. When it passed the rear seemed to have two white lights emitting out from it. Appeared to be similar to a torch flame. 30 - 40 seconds later we heard a low grumble. Shorty after seeing the U.F.O planes began to cross hatch the sky. There was approximately 5 - 8 planes in a large spread over the close area of the sighting. The planes then moved further out and back over the area for a time more than 30 minutes
