Jacksonville, FL
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

Next night, 5 Nov same time, same location a rectangular red lit object appeared to my right. It had a series of bright red lights in rows. Some appeared to be flashing. The rectangular shape was on the horizontal. It was about tree level, or above. I slowed and kept visual contact, on and off for a mile or two. I did not see it again after crossing the intersection of rte 35. Kept an eye out but remainder of ride home was uneventful. Thank you, Ken. On 4 Nov 15, at appox 22:00, I was traveling westerly on rte 202 in Hollis, Me.. And what appeared to be a shooting star came down directly in front of me. It was bright with a tail and came down at a 90° angle, not from an arc and just flashed out.

Rensselaer, NY
I stopped just past an intersection, to take pictures of what I thought was a pretty sky. I took several photos in sequence. I didn't notice anything in particular. When I looked at the pictures on my phone, I noticed a white spot in the sky. I have a good phone, so I zoomed in on it. It looks to be a series of lights. Either 4 with a reflection off the cloud to look like 8, or actually 8 lights in a rectangluar formation. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Afton, MO
Massive glowing amber yellow rectangle flying way high in the sky, maybe, near the stratosphere, really slowly crept across sky and very slowly shrank into a barely visible dot that disappeared. An older style rounded wing silver airplane was flying low in the sky beneath it when I noticed it and had my mother come confirm what I saw. I tried to film with my LG Volt cellphone, but only saw sky in the viewer.

Mississauga (Canada), ON · Canada
I was travelling to an interview at Burnhamthorpe Rd./Hurontario Rd.. I had this in my calendar and can confirm time and date. I was travelling from Mississauga/401 area south-east for an interview at Burnhamthorpe and Hurontario rds. For some of the trip I had a high vantage point and saw clear down to Lake Ontario. I saw two rectangular shapes moving slowly from west to east. They seemed to follow the lake front. They were higher than buildings, so perhaps 40-100 stories or higher in the air. They were the size of 6 story buildings.. very large rectangles in comparison to nearby buildings. I watched carefully but I could not see any airplanes or helicopters that would be pulling them. They flew in formation, very slowly. I watched as they flew from directly south in line with Hurontario, to perhaps Long Branch. They were dark, perhaps black. There was a slight cutout on the right (West) edge, starting at mid-height, going down to the bottom-right corner of the rectangle. Both shapes had the same thin cutout. I can provide drawing if needed.

Commerce City, CO
Saw large aircraft hovering in sky between Commerce City, CO, and the Rocky Mountains. Craft shaped rectangular like a bus, but much, much larger. Had strange shadowing/aura around it. Clearly was not an airplane. Could have been a huge helicopter or blimp, but heard no sound nor saw chopper blades. Aircraft traveled northeast away from me and was gone out of sight within one minute. Seemed too fast to be a blimp. Presidential debate in Boulder today. Possible military craft, but did not look anything like the military blimp, recently in the news, flown over PA.

Tarrytown, NY
Date & Time of sighting: Friday morning, October 23, 2015 at approximately 11:25 am. Place observed: From my car as I was driving from Rockland County NY, on I-287 East in South Nyack, NY approaching the Tappan Zee Bridge. The object was just south of the bridge, heading northeast, slowly. It was rather low, at approximately a 40-degree angle from my location and large enough to be seen from the approach to the bridge on the Rockland county side of the Hudson River. The object was neither over the bridge nor the Hudson River but was overland on the Westchester county side of the river, just south of the bridge. The bridge is just over 3 miles long so the object was at least that far away from me at the time my girlfriend and I first noticed it out of the windshield of the car. As the road curves a bit the craft was on the left side of the car (south of the bridge) for most of the observation. Description: Rectangular and black. Though not a perfect rectangle. More cigar shaped but it was not round like a cigar. Slow moving, angling down like it was preparing to land. It was large, not huge, about the size of a large commercial or military jet, but much darker than the gray used by the USAF. Most striking was its slow speed and shape. Flight characteristics were more like a blimp then an airplane. If it was a blimp it is one I’ve not seen before. The object was visible to us as we drove almost the entire length of the bridge. We were driving in well moving traffic, moving at highway speeds for almost the entire length of the bridge. We lost sight of the craft as we approached the Toll plaza and just after we cleared the suspension portion (superstructure) of the bridge. At that point, it was too low from our angle to see anymore and was now to north of the bridge. My girlfriend attempted to record the object on an iPhone but she did not begin recording until we were already passing thru the suspension portion of the bridge and since the craft was now at a low angle (approx. 10 to 15-degrees), she was recording it as we were passing thru the beams / cross section of the superstructure of the bridge. Therefore, the recording is basically a series of beams passing by at highway speed but the craft was visible to the eye in-between the breaks in the beams. Unfortunately we waited too long to begin recording. The reason for this is at first we assumed it was a slow moving large airplane moving away from us. However, the more we observed it and had time to discuss it, we realized what we were observing was unusual and worth trying to record. If there had been no traffic on the bridge, I would have stopped and gotten out of the car to witness it longer – it was that unusual. Duration of observation – approximately 5 minutes. Conditions: Bright, clear and sunny. A beautiful day. Perfect conditions for observing the sky. And this dark, slow moving object was perfectly visible and stood out quite vividly. Feeling – an odd aircraft that neither of us could identify. It did not look extra-worldly or intimidating in anyway just out of the ordinary.

Southold, NY
At the Peconic Dog Park with dogs when I saw a metallic brown object the size and configuration of a brownstone building slowly moving north over the trees from the Hamptons. Flew under aircraft flight paths. Slowly advanced silently, I tried to get others to see it but they "couldn't". I watched as a red dome light went on and it turned left (or east) and slowly continued until it was gone. There have been previous times when I have seen pale white oblong objects traveling west very fast in flight paths. These have been observed with me at least once with two other people. All of these sightings took place at the Peconic Dog Park in Southold New York.

Boiling Springs Lake, NC
Went out on back deck to smoke cigar and view the Stars as I always try to every night. Noticed the usual airplanes with blinking lights coming from South to North. From the North, I noticed a blinking light heading South but in front of it was a solid light moving in unison. It appeared as if the solid light was pulling the blinking light. I called my daughter to come out and take a look at this object which she did and was amazed as I was. I went in to get the binoculars and asked her to keep it in sight as I would be right back. The object was moving very slow and there was no noise from it. To note it was not as high as the usual planes in their flight paths. It was probably about 5000' (+-)(not good on judging but knew it was isn't flight path of other planes) When I came back with binoculars my daughter said it didn't leave area but seemed to slow down and turn towards the ocean(Atlantic).. We could see it with binoculars but could not make out a shape...when it got from direct sight we could see that it had 2 lights like a car and in the middle was the blinking light that we had saw being 'dragged', so we determined that the light ! in front was like a 'head light'. It was dark object with a barely visible square shape. I mentioned to my daughter that it resembled a car or a bus...as the 2 lights in the rear made me think of it that way. It may have been as big as a School bus.... The object slowly went out of sight over the tree line and we could not see it anymore....in the same time we watched it ...regular planes kept flying by on their Northern path. I see lights all the time as I watch the sky and made a report in July of a large object to MUFON. Every night and morning I see at least every other time some kind of single light(not flashing) unlike regular planes. There are so many lights that do not resemble regular planes in this area. I haven't notified MUFON as of yet and have seen many other light sightings moving .. I have one on video(single light moving West to East) early morning....I watch the sky all the time and it is amazing what is to be seen.

I saw strange bright lights in the sky, even though it is rainy and overcast. There were 9-11 rectangular shaped lights shaped in rows like a chimney, and one pointing in the top and the bottom. I ran inside to get my husband, he saw them too and they changed into different sizes and shapes. They looked like they were making constellation forms for a time. They proceeded to disappear one by one, I asked my husband if he saw it and he said yes, although he couldn't explain it.

Lakewood, CO
I was driving down 1st Avenue towards Sheridan, from Wadsworth. I noticed what I thought was an extremely bright star in the sky. It struck me as odd because I didn’t see any other stars in the sky that night. I was driving so I couldn’t look very closely, but I kept glancing at it and realized it was flying. I assumed it was a plane. Then, I stopped at a red light and was able to really look. I realized that instead of two lights on the wings, like a plane has, it was one solid band of extremely bright light. It was coming in faster than a plane, and flying too low. As it came closer, and was about to fly over me I saw that the band of light was coming from the bottom of the ship, not the front. It was gliding rather than flying. I saw it from a slightly diagonal angle when it came really close and noticed it was an extremely flat craft, with a bronze like top and darker outer edges. I looked straight up at the bottom of it when it flew by, and it was covered in many very large bright lights, shining out from behind some sort of see through pane. It kept flying in that direction, and that is all I saw.

Windsor, CO
It was early afternoon, I was driving southbound on county road 13, approximately 1/2 mile south of Hwy 392. I looked up to the NW and saw a large rectangular object moving very slowly to the the north. It was at cloud level. The edges were well illuminated but the entire center had a milky almost transparent color. The object turned west and instantly disappeared. I had pulled over to the east side of the road on the shoulder. I was a bit dazed, but on the west side of the road was a small 4 door sedan with a woman, about 45 years old in the driver's seat and a young teen in the passenger seat. They had pulled over, and were stairing up at the same location. They had a similar stunned look on their faces. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Lutsen, MN
From a porch on a hill looked across Caribou Lake and saw multiple silver-white circles (like stars but larger) moving in widening circles and parallel to one another across the horizon. They moved slowly west then returned. Repeated the movement then as they went low on the western horizon suddenly a large golden glow appeared directly above the hill across our bay. It glowed gold, almost flame-like, then disappeared. Nothing for a few minutes then the golden glow returned, a bit to the west. When I stared at it, it appeared to be 3 vertical rectangles of golden light perfectly parallel to one another. After a 10 second glow, it disappeared. Reappeared once farther to the west. During this gold glow action, the silver/ white round lights that I first mentioned continued to move in circles on the horizon.

Riverdale, UT
My husband and I were lying on a hillside facing west above Riverdale Road, looking up at the night sky. Even though the city was fairly well lit, we could still the stars. Suddenly, an unusual object drifted over our heads, completely silent. This was a long and narrow object, rectangular. It did not drift in the straight line; it was angled slightly toward the southwest direction, but drifted to the west. It seemed to have a curved shape. It did not have sharp angles, but rounded edges. It actually reminded me of a parachute, where the underside was lit up by the reflection of the city lights. The object looked to have 4 quadrants, each quadrant reflecting light off the city. The object itself was a dim silvery color. It just continued to drift toward the horizon until we could not see it any longer.

Driving home on a major HWY and a shiny metallic rectangular object appeared to my left and was completely stationary. I looked away for a second to tend to my driving and when i looked for the object again, it was gone.

Springfield, OH
My daughter (19 years old) and I (45 years old) were driving on I-70 West from Columbus, heading toward I-675 South around midnight on October 10, 2015. The sky was very dark, with little cloud and very bright stars. We were close to Springfield, Ohio when I noticed a very large bright flashing white light with a small flashing red light on one side, and a small flashing green light on the other. Because of the flashing side lights, I initially thought it was an airplane, and it was just extra bright against the dark sky. But as we got closer to it, the white light was bigger, and it appeared that the light was hovering in place, not moving. I then thought maybe it was a warning light attached to a tower, as there are many along I-70 West, although the warning lights are typically all white or all red. As we drove by it, it was not over the highway, but off to the side over the trees and fields. I was able to see it briefly because I was driving. I looked up at it and could see underneath. It was not attached to a tower, but was a rectangle shape that seemed to be standing still in the sky. It did not have the body shape of an airplane and there were no wings. The bulk of the underneath was the white light, and the two smaller lights were on either side. I could hardly believe what I saw, but there was no safe place to pull over so I kept driving and my daughter watched behind as we drove away from it. It did not appear to move to her, and she did not see wings or a tower either. She continued to watch it, until my driving caused her to lose sight of it.

Hutto, TX
At approximately 3:30 in the afternoon, on October 10, I was sitting on our third-floor balcony, facing South, in Round Rock, Texas. I looked to the left (East) and saw what must have been an enormous black rectangle moving slowly over Hutto, Texas, approximately 8 miles away. I immediately grabbed a pair of binoculars and confirmed that it was very large, and rectangular in shape. It was moving slowly North, much like a blimp would move, but it was too big to be a blimp (given how far away it was), and it was not rounded on the ends like a blimp, but squared on all four corners. I then called my brother out to the balcony (we are both retired teachers in our fifties). He came out and agreed that it was unlike anything he’d ever seen, that it was far away (again, about eight miles), black, rectangular in shape, and huge. We watched it for about a minute as it slowly moved to the north, and then out of sight behind the wall of our apartment building. It was a clear day, with no clouds in the sky. The object moved smoothly, and slowly. There were no lights on the object, or any other features that we could see. We could hear no sound associated with it. I am emailing a photo with an Illustrator-created rendering of the object. This is the view from our balcony, looking east toward Hutto, Texas. The water tower indicated in the photo is about 8 miles away.

Small rectangular (was hard to tell the exact shape but looked rectangular) object with one red solid light covering the middle and 2 intermittently flashing lights on each side. It hovered over head for a few min then went from one side of the football field from left to right in less then a second, then hovered then after a couple more minutes of unbelievable movements back and forth it flew out of site within a second. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
