St. Petersburg, FL
I was riding back from Tampa to Ft. Myers (not sure the exact location) in the back seat of my friends car on the passenger side looking into the western sky I believe, when I spotted what I thought to be a plane. I started to examine it more closely and realized it did not have wings or a rutter, looked like a white cylinder. This seemed weird to me so I pointed it out to my friend (who was also sitting on the passenger side of his girlfriends’ vehicle, front seat.) He says, “Yeah, I don’t know, it looks like a floating white cylinder. Almost immediately after he said this, the object disappeared in front of our eyes, leaving us both in awe. We then said at the same time, “That thing just disappeared, what the hell?” Has anyone else seen any other cylinders or cigar shaped objects in the air over Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota area?

When the object was high in the sky it looked like a red ball of light. When the object dropped from the sky and came closer to ground i visibly seen an object that was narrow at the top and got wider at the middle and at the objects base. There were bright red lights from top to bottom all around this object. Im not exactly sure how far away this object was from my backyard but i do know it came straight down from the sky and was in the north east. I looked up what wheather balloons look like and what military craft look like and this object was not like any of that. I was in shock when i seen that this thing was some sort of an actual object and not a shooting star or meteor. This is the first time i have ever witnessed something like this in the night sky descending toward earth. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Germantown, MD
UFO SIGHTING May 14, 2015 - 9:45AM This morning, at 9:45AM on Thursday, May 14, 2015, I was driving on I-270 from Hyattstown, MD, toward Germantown, MD, when I saw at about 20 degrees above my horizon, and ahead of me in the sky, 3 objects. They were flying in a straight line, left to right across my direction of travel, and consisted of two silver cylindrical objects that I would guess were about the size of railroad tank cars but taller and maybe longer, and were ahead of a third object that was black, and square or rectangular in shape, and as large as the cylinders. I saw no windows on any of the objects, nor any means of propulsion - no wings or propellers - and no discernible tail features. There was no sign of any smoke or other exhaust features. They were moving relatively slowly, and stayed in view for about 40 seconds before I drove past the point where they were off my right side and out of my sight. If they stayed on that course, they would have passed over the Germantown area. I was in heavy morning rush hour traffic, in the center lane, and could not pull over to either side to stop for a better view. I don't know for sure what they were, and, unless we have technology that I am not aware of, I seriously doubt that they were made by man - homo sapiens. All of my life, I have believed that we are not alone. Now, unless this can be explained away, I am very sure we are NOT alone! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Mr. Davenport, I did report it to another site, but they never published anything on it. I just found out about your site due to an article in the newspaper (Frederick, MD News Post). Thank you for taking interest in it. And, yes, it WAS a dramatic sighting! I was in heavy rush hour traffic in the middle lane of 3. They were flying just above treetop level. The driver in the car to my left obviously saw it also, but the look on his face was absolute terror. I seriously doubt he told anyone about it. I did confide in a few friends - almost sorry I did. I don't think any of them believe me. I only wish I could have gotten to my phone to use the camera in it. I have ordered a dash cam, just to make sure something like this never happens - undocumented - again. I couldn't stop to get a better view either, due to the traffic. I even had a policeman in our church check to see if there were any other sightings. The only thing he could tell me was, "Yes, there were." I was not frightened by it. But, I must admit, I have lost a few nights sleep wondering who/what they were, where were they from, what were they doing here - so many questions I would like to ask them if I had the opportunity. I wouldn't mind taking a ride in a ufo either, assuming I could come back from it! The cylinders were so large, I have wondered if it could have been the beginning of an invasion. My guess is each of the 2 cylinders could easily have accommodated 2-300 or more human sized troops. I would also guess the 3rd craft was a control unit. As I drove down the road after the sighting, a big black helicopter flew past me headed in the direction I had seen the objects going. Interesting!! I must admit I am a sci-fi devotee, and I write some under the name ((name and e-address deleted)). This sighting WILL be going into a story I have started. I have now posted a page on my website, www.((address deleted))l detailing the encounter. Feel free to link to it if you want to. If only I could contact them - assuming they are friendly. Oh, SO MANY QUESTIONS! ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Kent/Renton, WA
My two girls and I were leaving family's house in Renton, heading toward Kent, when we saw a HUGE fiery-red object in the Southern sky. The object was cylindrical in shape, had a very bright red, hazy aura around it, and as it descended, it seemed to stretch out, as if it were moving so fast it left a streak across the sky. Before it dropped, it hovered for approximately 30 seconds while we watched. I don't know how long it was there before we came upon it, but after about 30 seconds, maybe a little more, it rapidly shot downward to the ground.

The bright light then started moving alarmingly fast in a west to east direction. As it went over head observed what appeared to be a cylindrical object with an extremely bright front light with 2 round orange lights on the bottom. We heard no sound. Witness indicates a date in 2013. We suspect it was a sighting on 04/27/2015, and we have amended the date above. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Hence, we cannot verify the date. PD

It was at about the height of the freeway and seemed to travel along side it. Then it just disappeared.

I arrived home with my two kids and my wife came outside to help us inside. The sky was cloudy in patches when I saw the first two white lights moving slowly side by side. At first I thought it was a couple of jets really high up but directly behind the lights were two more. I thought it was multiple crafts at first. Then I started counting, realizing this is a single object. There was fifteen rows and between some sets a single light. It looked like this : : - : : : - :::: on a long cylinder that was flat black. At the slow speed it was moving it appeared to be at least the length of a football field and lights were on each sideline. I held my hand stationary over a set of lights to make sure that it wasn't a star making an optical illusion with the clouds and the craft continued moving past my hand and through and just above low the clouds. I tried to take video but I was so excited showing my wife I flubbed it. This was a truly paradigm changing sitting! My mind is still amazed at the size of this thing

Seemed to be 1000 plus feet altitude. Unlighted, dark object, long, cylindrical---seemed solid. Quiet, did not seem to be propelling itself. At one point, around 2 minutes, it seemed to be shedding off lower portions of itself, disintegrating downward, but retained its solid shape afterward. It diminished in size, apparently moving north eastward toward Auburn.

Suddenly woke at 4am and had urge to go outside. Went into yard and there was a clear sky with the moon and Saturn very bright. Then there appeared a cloud formation--big clouds coming toward. Then a cylinder appeared in the clouds. It was yellow and moving toward earth. It changed color to orange red. After about an hour the cylinder suddenly disappeared and the clouds disappeared afterwards.

I went to lock my car and I was heading back to the front door and saw it hoovering above the neighborhood. Red and Green lights and it was very quite as it made some quick moves left and right. I went and got my roommate and she saw it as well. I thought it may have been a drone but I don't think so it moved very quickly.

My mother and I were driving west on 44th when what appeared to be a low flying plane caught my mother's attention and she immediately told me to look. I was able to watch it move at what appeared to be a 'gliding' descent in an area that has no airport. It was cylindrical in shape with a funky stabilizer tail. The tail of the object is best described as a vertical stabilizer without the horizontal. I watched it for approximately 1.5-2 seconds when with astonishment it comes to a complete stop and hovers for 3 seconds(?). I immediately reported to my mother who was driving that it stopped in the air. As soon as I said that, the object in question began to ascend upwards into the sky for probably 2 seconds and stopped. It slowly moved forward and the next moment it was a dot in the near distance(probably over Boulder, Colorado). The near distance is probably 25-30 miles at least. Or it disappeared in completeness and my eyes missed it? My mother and I are baffled to say the least.

All of sudden when driving north I spotted something in the sky. The sighting was right over the crossing of pole cat creek. up in the sky was a craft with three wings and three sets of wings. The wings were almost like a capital L with another hook on it. The aircraft was just hovering about 200 feet up. It was a cylinder type of craft with a sharp front. The wings of the set of three were aprox 1/3 of the length of the craft. The wings were almost like frozen. There was no activity other then the hovering. At the end was almost like a jet engine but a lot bigger and move developed. There was also nothing else coming out of this engine no streaks. almost like when you see fumes coming out of an exhaust. More layers then a regular engine. The color was almost like a black silk kind of color. It was somewhat shiny, but still dull. By the time i got off the exit it was already gone. There is a lot of plane activity which that is what i thought at first but it was running east to west, instead of running north to south, which the Jenks Airport does. It was also moving to slow and to low to the ground to be a aircraft. I'm really not doing this for attention. I just want to know if anyone else saw what I did, last night.

It took a few minutes for it to move out of my eye sight. I know I have never seen anything like it. I know it was not a cloud.

Wayne, MI
The object was a gun metal grey with no visable lights on it. It had what looked like a distortion in the air underneith the object that looks like heat coming off a sidewalk. I could not get a photo of it because of my trying to keep my dog still next to the road and by the time I got my phone out it was gone. Several people in cars at the light at Mi. Ave. must have seen it because they were all looking up in the sky. The object was smooth with no markings of any kind on it as far as I could see in the short time I saw it. I neglected to report it because I didn't want to sound like a kook, but this was no drone because even with no point of perspective I could tell that it was at least the size of a school bus if not larger. I have never seen it again and I have gone back daily to try to get another look at it.

I am a truck driver. I was on my way into california and I had just gone through the weigh and agriculture Check station a few minutes before i came around a bin on i-80 when I noticed what seem to be a cylindrical object just over the tree line. it had three lights on it that where dim. but they where brighter than any star and it was definitely in our atmosphere. I almost stoped my truck to see it longer but the sight and location of it scared me l seemed to be the only one on the road that morning. I kept going so I only Saw it for 45 seconds to a minute. It made no movement. It just hovered over the tree line. This report originally was posted with a flawed date. We have corrected the date above, and re-post the report. PD

Fairview, ID
I took around 20 pictures however only 2 pictures showed the ships. I/we only saw the large ship, it was only after looking at the pictures that I/we noticed the smaller cylinder shaped ship. I was with my boyfriend and on the phone with my Mother asking her if we could follow the UFO and she said we could if we stayed on the phone with her. We both saw lights about 200 feet above the ground near some farmland to the West of Hwy 91 near Fairview, Idaho. These lights rose up making a diamond shape and went to the mountains to the East of Hwy 91 around 20 miles away. We followed the ship south on Hwy 91 from Preston, Idaho, to Lewiston, Utah. It seemed 200 feet long and wide, and at first it looked like just lights that were diamond shaped with white lights radiating and pulsating. However in the picture the lights are green and it’s not a diamond shape, it is several cylinder shaped vessels put together as one ship. It disappeared right before our eyes. We only saw the smaller single cylinder shaped ship after, when we looked at the picture that shows it.

I was sitting at my machine, and out of the side of my eye, I can see very bright lights. I get up, look outside my window and the colors are seriously bright. It was moving slowly across the sky. I thought maybe a plane, but further review told me nope, it wasn't a plane. The colors were bright and vivid. I ran to the back of my house, and it was there. I couldn't chase it, but confirm I saw it! We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
