Shelby, MI
We were enjoying the meteor shower on the beach of Lake Michigan off the private community of Cobmoosa Shores in Shelbym Michigan. We witnessed several shooting stars and satellites. It was myself, my partner, our 12 year old son and his friend. This bright circle sphere oval was very large and coming from the north. It travelled past us and we continued to watch it and suddenly it disappeared. While we were observing the only person who had a phone was my son and I asked him to take a video but he didn’t LISTEN and just took a picture. As clear as the sky was though the only thing that pleated was this unifentified flying object, not even a single star of the millions we seen showed up with it. We continued to watch after this observation to see if satellites disappeared or we could see across the whole sky we could. We watched airplanes to see the same. On our way home near Kokomo, Indiana, strange things were happening on our car map which made me look into things and figured I should report this.

I wanted to call police and I didn't want to sound crazy so I didn't. I know it was a craft because how low and how fast as well how bright. It scared me to death really so I went inside couldn't go to sleep until 3:00 am this morning. The object I am telling you was huge in size. The most important thing as well no sound that is why it freaked me out.

Decatur, TX
July 25,2019 Between 17:30 Southeast of Decatur, Texas my husband and I were traveling west on highway US 380 from Denton to Decatur. I noticed one oval disc looking object hovering in the Southwestern sky. It was a clear day except for some large Altocumulus clouds floating in the sky. I observed it as it went into a cloud and never reappeared.

I got off work round 12 at night came home sat outside and then I noticed the school lights came on but 3 times as bright as usual, then every light in the neighborhood cut off but the school lights remained on then the house lights got to flicker like Christmas lights and went into a dominoes effect one by one slowly and then fast and then off for 5 minutes. So I got out my car and then seen an oval light above the school, it looked like a street light so I tried to get closer and the light started huvering up and down slowly and then went in the air stopped and shot away very fast disappeared. I thought I was only one but my neighbor seen it too. After that I started witnessing other things can’t say.

Most Amazing thing I ever saw. Night, in parking lot, look up and in sky fairly high and little distant is a little oval cloud barely moving, but a little . every 15 second it would pulsate blue with a dark blue line just inside the oval. Like an arc light. Then suddenly beams, dark fire engine red color, more like streamers popped out of one side and then slowly disappeared. Only once. Was it trying to communicate with me? These red plumes were like slow moving fireworks. Turned around for one minute, and then it was gone.

At 16:00 I went outside into my back yard to locate the source of carpenter ants that have been entering our home. Having found the entry to the nest, at about 16:30 I decided to sit down on a recliner and watch the passing cloud cover. Just when I looked up (facing south) I was surprised to see a light circulating overhead. I estimate that the overhead cloud cover was about two to three thousand feet high, and of varying thickness, with occasional open areas, which made it possible to temporarily glimpse the three-quarter moon, a planet and some stars, and an airplane that flew by. The light was definitely coming from above the clouds. I estimate the size at about thirty feet. I observed it from an angle of about forty-five degrees. The light appeared as a glow shinning downward through the clouds. (To verify, I looked over the backyard wall toward the horizon to see if there was any light that was shinning upwards-there was none.) (Also, this could not have been a search helicopter, since there was no sound and a search helicopter would not be operating above the cloud cover, and the light was not shinning through the clouds with enough intensity to light up anything on the ground two to three thousand feet below.) The light traveled, counter-clockwise, in an oval of about several hundred feet (perhaps 400-500 ft.) wide. It took about seven seconds for the light to complete a full oval. From my perspective, the light appeared to be moving in an oval pattern. The light kept circling in the same location; but, it wasn't in a perfect oval; there was some slight deviation from a perfect oval pattern. The light may have been a circle and its movement may have been a circle had I observed it directly overhead, but from my perspective it appeared oval. I watched the light for about fifteen minutes. I awakened my wife; and we watched the light together for about fifteen minutes. There was no sound associated with the light. At about 16:50, a much higher passing airplane (perhaps a two-engine) became intermittently visible through the thinning cloud canopy. It was clearly heard as it passed by. At 17:02 the onset of sunrise began to brighten the sky and the light faded from view, and we returned back inside of the house. I did not feel any connection with this light. I did not feel any emotions, other than calm curiosity. The following morning, at about 16:00, with the cloud conditions about the same, I looked in the same direction for about forty-five minutes, but I did not see any light as I did the morning before. And the following early Sunday, with the cloud conditions about the same, at about 15:00 and again at about 16:30, I looked in the same direction for about fifteen minutes, but I did not see any light as I did the week before.

Wailea, HI
I was look from my deck when I saw a strange cyan dot west of me about 30 degrees up from my position. So I watched for a bit and thought it was a helicopter but when it started to move I thought a plane but then it stopped mid air and then the lights were extremely bright for a few second not blinding but similar to a laser pointer almost aimed at your eye. It moved in straight lines stopping after moving evry few seconds where it would stop on a dime and then without turning it would move again in a different direction. Sadly it left my pov by going behind the house next to mine and I couldn’t see it anymore. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Arlee, MT
Was looking at Venus and noticed a bright star appear slightly above it in motion. It just looked like a bright light moving from west to east. It was around a full moon, so we were surprised when all of a sudden it got way brighter at one time. Then, it moved pretty smoothly other than one time when it made a dip and then a jerking motion then leveled back out. we got a good look at it through the binos and it looked like a saucer shape with two lights towards the center. It also looked like it had a huge dome top that was a very odd shape and almost came to a rounded point at the top. My husband and I watched it go over the horizon and even had time to point it out to my daughter. Gave me the chills when it grew brighter out of nowhere, because it got so much brighter. Object was silent, and for as low as it was, it should have made some sort of noise but didn't.

I was sitting outside watching the sky hopeing that the craft my and my brothers saw came back and I could snap a picture of it. My little brother came out and pointed to the sky at a glowing orange orb that kinda shifted shape, moving slow right over our house twards Entiat, made no sound and was super low, I'd say 1000 feet, the size was a nickel at arm's length

Farwell, MI
First witnessed one craft slowly moving north in an unusual rate of speed (stopping completely at times) and at a low altitude (too low for a commercial aircraft).. I pointed this anomaly out to my family members and we watched it for about 15 minutes until cloud cover blocked our view... this craft reflected the sunlight and was pill shaped. About 20 minutes after this incident, we witnessed another 2 crafts, moving across the sky from east to west, same shape and slow rate of speed as the first. One trailed the other moving at the same rate of speed but not across the exact path. We were able to observe these crafts for approximately 10 minutes total until they disappeared from view. Shortly after this helicopters began working a grid pattern through the area until after nightfall (which also seemed bizarre for our area).

Looking west in the evening sky I saw what at first appeared to be an (one) oval, bright, cloud formation which did not seem to fit in with the rest of the sky. I took a picture so that I could zoom in a bit better. The image clearly shows an organized oval, not a mish mash of clouds, with what appears to be lights on the outer edge. The formation seems to blend into the changing clouds to disappear - not dissipate as one would expect of a cloud formation.

Ellsworth, WI
My daughter molly and I, saw this tic tac ufo hovering over the outskirts of Ellsworth Wisconsin and flew off to the west, slowly. I was an aircraft mechanic for a multitude of different aircraft, I worked at a naval air test center, no, insignia, no flight control surfaces, no visual propulsion or exhaust. I have no idea what it was, but I do know it's not an aircraft.. Not from this planet anyway.

Probable conventionalBilly-Montigny, Nord-Pas-de-Calais · France
Le 14 juillet 2019, le témoin se trouve chez des amis. A 20h35, il remarque un objet, de teinte anthracite, mat, mais brillant au soleil et semblant venir vers lui à une vitesse assez rapide. Il ne dit rien à ses amis qui verront le PAN par la suite et sur l’appareil photo du témoin. Le témoin perd le PAN de vue, ce dernier s’éloigne vers le SSE. La durée totale de l’observation est de 25 secondes. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli sur ce phénomène. Le cas est de bonne consistance : un seul témoignage, une photo et des compléments fournis par le témoin ultérieurement (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L'enquête, en particulier l'analyse photo par le logiciel IPACO et l'analyse des vents, a conclu à l'observation probable d'un ballon perdu, gonflé à l’hélium, d’une taille de 0,80 cm, en forme de poisson, ou tout au moins très probablement de forme allongée. L’étrangeté perçue par le témoin résulte des éléments suivants, type de forme, absence de bruit, rapidité de déplacement et s’explique également par la rareté d’une telle observation. Rareté d’ailleurs soulignée par le témoin, qui ne s’explique pas ce qu’il a observé. Le GEIPAN classe en B : observation probable d’un ballon festif emporté par le vent. [GEIPAN classification B — Ballon d’enfant]

I was remarking to my wife last night how amazing the moon looked. It was about 3/4 full but very crisp and clear in the sky. It was overcast around the moon and as I was looking at the moon an off white oval looking craft was flying faster than airplane. I was curious because there were no con trials behind the craft. I have seen satellites at night and this craft was traveling about as fast. I watched it as it approached the clouds that were pretty high in elevation and the craft went behind them. The cloud cover went as far as I could see so I did not see the craft after going behind the clouds. The craft did change to a darker shade just before going behind the clouds so I though maybe it was going into the earth's shadow. I certainly can say it was not the shape of any aircraft I have seen and that is why I am reporting it. I pointed it out to my wife but she didn't see it.

I heard rumbling sounds and felt it like faint bass from a car, then it became in short repeatings about 10 times. I looked outside to see if it was a car, but there was a white half oval with almost black/grey on the other half. It floated in the air at about a height of a cell tower for about 3 minutes, looking about the size of a little bird heli, then accelerating going over houses to not be seen.

I live in a pretty old somewhat historic area with very old large trees around my property in every direction that block any distant views. It was 4th of July here in the united states. My boyfriend and I had decided to go outside to see if we could see any fireworks at around 9:15pm central time, we witnessed a few fireworks of a local neighbor & were able to see part of the finale at the local shooting & sports complex that is adjacent to my house several blocks north of my house. Those were the last viewable fireworks we saw from my house, you could still hear the fireworks from several directions but we were not able to see them with all the very large trees surrounding the area. We continued to stay outside, we put a blanket in the back of my boyfriends trailer, both of us having back problems decided to just lay in it and look at the stars & listen to the radio, my boyfriend went inside for a cigarette and i laying there on my back in the trailer looki! ng directly up above me see a slow moving satellite just passing by then out of nowhere i see a gold colored oval shaped o light appear a bit of a distance behind the satellite moving at the same speed trailing it for a brief moment as if it was following it. then the light went out then it reappeared a good distance in front of the satellite & sat there like it was waiting for it to catch up as if it was inspecting it. the light went out again, then came back on a short distance ahead of where it previously was then it disappeared & zoomed off instantly. The sattelite and the object both went south. My boyfriend came back outside & I had told him what I had seen. we stayed outside until about 11pm, the object was not seen again, the satellite had floated off and no more fireworks were seen

Looking up in the northeast sky, I observed a bright white large object. Oval object about the size of 5-6 of the largest starts all put together into one object. I was stunned to see it and wanted to get my phone to take a picture, but as I watched the object, it faded away and was gone.

I am a retired school teacher of 42 years. I have an MEd in Administration and Supervision. I am 74 years old. On Monday, July 1, this year, I was on my deck attached to my home. At approx. 21:00, I was watching the sky at dusk, watching commercial airliners fly directly over my home, flying east to west. My home is directly under airliners' flights apparently from Philadelphia/New York to the west coast. As an airliner went across the sky, I saw an object off to the side of it. At first, I thought it was a star and didn't pay any attention to it. As the plane moved forward, I saw this "object" start to move at about a ninety degree angle directly toward what I realized was an intersect point with the plane. Now, I could see that the object was not a star as it was close to the earth. The object had ball-like pieces that moved around as the object moved toward the plane. The balls were different colors with three white ones that moved around the outside of the others. From where I stood, the object was going to run directly into the plane. The plane continued, the object stopped as the plane passed, evidently the two were not at the same altitude. The object then made a ninety-degree left turn at an apparent high rate of speed. If the plane was moving at 400 mph, the object was moving at about the same rate toward the plane, made that turn, then followed the plane at the same speed for a short time. At that point, I became aware that the object was not alone. A second, similar object "appeared," and I say appeared because it was not there a second before. The second object was farther to the east. It was not as well "put together" as the first as the second had similar round parts, but they were not organized into a shape as the first was. The second approached the flight path of the plane but behind it. The object seemed to get organized as the lights formed, it appeared, a flat object. The object followed the plane, apparently tracking it or staying behind it, toward the west until it disappeared. In th! e meantime, the first object moved erratically in one place wh! ere it s topped following the plane, the ball-like structures moved around inside the shape, changed colors, and appeared to form a large sphere-shaped object that was "rolling." After maybe fifteen minutes, the object began to move upward, away from the Earth. Today, thirty-five days later, the object "sits" in the sky in the same place, but much farther away from the Earth. It sits there, still observable with the un-aided eye, with the "balls" of light moving around in random motion. And, the total object, moves, apparently randomly, from my observation point, left, right, up and down in the sky. A second object, I do not know if it is the same second object as I saw the first night, now sits at apparently the same altitude but more to the western sky. Its movement is observable left, right, up, and down, apparently random. Its balls of light move in the same way as the first object. I have observed these objects nightly when it is not too hazy or cloudy. The first one is in the same place as the first night, and the second object sits at about the same place as it was after tracking the plane. Am I nuts? No. I am observing an obviously controlled object in the sky.

Fishers, IN
I was driving slowly North on Atlantic Road just South of 126th street on 6/30/19 at 3:48PM. While looking to my left at the soybean crop, I had a bright flash in my eyes that drew my attention to the North. I looked up at a 45 degree angle and there was a chrome/ mirrored oval / LP Gas tank (like you see on farms) type of craft approximately 6500-7500 feet in altitude. It was moving slowly from East to West and then stopped and hovered for a few seconds as I pulled to side of road. As I lifted my I-phone to take a picture, the craft dropped behind the cloud. I took a few pictures and one of them came back with why appears to be the nose/tip of the craft stick out of the cloud. There was no exhaust, noise or light other than the sun reflecting off of the chrome body of the craft. I stayed and continued to look up for 15 - 20 minutes but never saw the craft again. The height of the craft was based on average altitude of cumulus clouds. I would estimate the cr! aft to be approximately 45-55 feet long and around 10-12 feet high. I had the presence of mind to ask Siri flights overhead after the craft didn’t reappear and there were a few flights over head between 30-38,000 feet which is much higher than what I was witnessing.

Sterling Heights, MI
I was walking a dog near Lakeside Mall right around noon. I heard a helicopter and looked up. The helicopter traveled normally out of my line of vision, but I noticed a bright white oval or circle very very very high in the sky (much higher than the helicopter had been; if an airplane had been at this altitude it would have looked tiny or almost indistinct). It was moving unlike anything from nature or a human made craft. It moved slowly in an organic curving pattern, sort of meandering back and forth, toward the sun then away. It almost looked like a paper plate blowing in the wind, however it seemed way too high to be an object from Earth and the distance it was traveling in each motion was fairly long — way too far for an object to be blown back and forth I think. It would also pause and stay still for periods. I watched it for at least five minutes. There also appeared to be many swirling white dots around the sun, moving like those fireworks that snake around willy nilly after they launch. It did not occur to me until later that day that I should not have been able to look at the sun in the way that I must have been to see the swirling lights, but the sun did not hurt my eyes until I tried to look back and take video. While I was taking the video it disappeared. The short clip shows the object floating in the sky. The longer clip shows, at the end, an object with two lights appearing and dropping straight down suddenly and disappearing. I did not see this with my eyes because the sun was too bright, but it is clear around :07-08 in the lower left of the sky shown if you zoom in on that region.
