Cherry Valley, MA
It was approximately 11:30pm, Monday, 11/27/17, when I was sitting outside on the back deck of the house which is about 30 feet up from the ground and overlooks the treeline of the woods. I was looking up at the stars and the bright moon during this clear night, when initially I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but was much bigger, fly horizontal on the horizon and then down into the trees. This was a silent night until right before I saw a craft appear. It drove the birds and bugs mad. I didn't think anything of it, until about 2 minutes later, a large cigar-shaped craft appeared from the treeline and fly towards the house almost silent but was making a noise, but from the size of this thing it should have been loud like a plane. It did not have wings or propellers. It was close enough where I was able to get a good visual, but it did have 2 lights on the bottom of each end that were white, which made it hard to make out any fine details. It was about as big as a fire truck and I would describe it as being almost the same shape. It was so low that I was afraid it would hit the house. It flew up and only ended up about 20 feet above the house. I watched until it disappeared behind the other side of the house and when I went around to check if I could still see it flying in the distance, it was gone, when it should have been viewable because it wasn't going very fast. After this incident, I sat outside for a few more minutes longer, watching the same part of the sky where I observed this craft appear from, when about 5 or 6 small, but bright lights, that I can only describe as looking like stars, but slightly larger, each appeared one by one and then travelled in the same direction of this craft. They did blink on occasion intermittently as they travelled. After these bright star like objects were out of my viewing range I saw another (what appeared to be) shooting star in the same part of the sky that I saw the first. And that was when I decided to go inside because at that point I had had enough. I cannot explain this. I am not a "believer." I am a nurse and a mother of two children. But after this incident, I went online to see if anyone else witnessed what I did, which lead me here. I believe that there is something going on that is unexplainable, whether it be new experimental military technology or something else. What I saw was not any kind of craft I've ever seen before.

Chelsea, AL
First saw 2 white cigar-shaped objects flying parallel to each other, but not touching. I thought they looked like missiles, but they were travelling pretty slowly. They disappeared into the sunlight and I didn't see them after that. About 20 minutes later, I saw a third white cigar-shaped object of similar size in the sky. It was moving until it, too, disappeared after just a couple of minutes. I was certain it was different from a plane or helicopter.

I noticed a silver/metallic cigar-shaped craft near the 45 bypass and Vann Drive area. It was moving very slowly and did not appear to be an airplane. There were no wings, no propellers, and it moved very slowly. The sky was completely clear and I was parked where I had a good view of it. It headed South West.

Object then reappears as a light above treeline stayed stationary for a few minutes then proceeded in a Westerly direction as just a small cigar shaped object... I don't think a plane would do this. Could it be a drone???

Rochester, NH
It was a bright neon blue light that was zigzagging back and forth. when a plane flew near it, it started flashing with red. after about 20 minutes of watching it we looked away and five minutes later when we went to go and find it again, but it was gone.

Champions Gate, FL
I was driving home on I-4 Westbound (opposite direction of Daytona/Cocoa/Cape Canaveral) when I saw what looked like a large yacht surrounded by a fireball falling from the sky. I spent several minutes watching it before I began recording what became a 10 minute long video of this object descending. During the course of the video, the object changed directions twice, maneuvering horizontally while continuing in a vertical descent, as if course-correcting to land. At first the object had a long what I would call a fire tail that moved with the object and was not left trailing in the sky as a NASA Space-shuttle or airplane would leave. However, as the object descended further, the tail became much shorter. I recorded the object until it disappeared behind some trees. Over the past couple of years I have searched online to see if anyone else saw it but have not found anything. I was driving down a main stretch of road with many cars but no one else appeared to notice it (typical in this area for people to be oblivious of their surroundings). I have taken screenshots of the video and will email them, I plan to save the video on to a thumb-drive and mail it in. Background: I have lived in Florida my entire life (over 25 years) and have witnessed many space shuttle launches and landings. I live in a tourist area so there are always planes and helicopters flying nearby so I see those often. My spouse is a military Veteran so both I and my spouse (who has seen the video) are familiar with most military aircraft and were unable to identify this object as any of the aforementioned aircrafts. I am a college graduate with a Business degree who is working on my MBA and am an Executive Director. My spouse is a Financial Manager who has resided in Florida for over 20 years.

Saw what looked like an airplane without wings. No tail wings either, was low enough to see body of craft without wings, saw airplane further with wings easily visible. Crows around flew away, heard flapping of wings. Flew very fast pretty low but not as low as helicopters. Made no noise whatsoever, waved at it. As it flew east. Checked live flight maps shortly after, no sign of it on radars.

Madeira Beach, FL
There was heavy air traffic at the time as we are in the landing pattern of PIE, TIA and MacDill. By seeing the object and other air craft at the same time, gave a distinct comparison that the object was not commercial traffic and had to be military or something else. It also flew just west of a sky crane in Madeira Beach with the sky cranes red lights blinking and gave a distinct impression that the object was not commercial air traffic nor a sky crane. It appeared 4000 to 5000 feet in altitude and moved slowly to the south parallel to the beach. There was a coast guard C130 with its landing lights on turning back to the north (from the south) and landing at PIE and there was a coast guard SH60 helicopter flying behind the object. I could hear the helicopter loud and clear and could see all the lights on the helicopter giving a comparison of the size of each (helicopter and craft) object and speed. The C130 had all of its lights on as it prepared to land and gave a comparison of the size, speed and lack of noise coming from the object. The helicopter did not chase the object nor appeared to see it (it was about 5 miles behind the object). As the helicopter flew by and engines very loud and noticeable, again made the object stand out and confirm it was silent. The object never hovered but moved in a very slow and constant rate to the south.

Around 5pm on a clear, sunny day, I spotted a slow moving craft about 500 feet above me. I originally thought it was a small airplane and disregarded it further, but when I noticed the craft stopped and hovered I paid closer attention and realized that it was no plane. Planes don’t hover. And it was not shaped like a helicopter, it was cigar shaped. Indeed I could not see any wings or rotary blades on it, just a white cigar shaped craft with a lone slow, blinking light at the rear of the craft. The light was very interesting. It wasn’t the normal cobalt blue you might see on a plane. It was more of an aqua color, which would then become a lighter aqua after it blinked and then blink back to the darker aqua. And it would blink more slowly than a typical craft light. Even more bizarre was after about every 10 blinks, a large square black object seemed to replace the light for about 3 seconds only to be replaced back by the blue blinking light. This black door would take up about one third of the craft and then completely disappear whenever the blue light came back on. I thought maybe a cargo door was opening and closing, that’s my best guess, but the switch happened too quickly. In fact there was something that defied the laws of physics about that black square. It was so densely black that it felt like a black hole had opened up, not just a cargo door. Also, the white body of the craft seemed to have a white mist around it – its outline seemed blurred by the mist – which was odd because there were absolutely no clouds in the sky. And there was no vapor trail tailing behind the craft. By contrast the lines of the black square were extremely crisp, no mist, no blur. I pointed the object out to some passing neighbors and they too thought it was an odd craft. We all agreed it couldn’t be a blimp and but instead seemed like a UFO. After about 3 minutes the craft stopped hovering and proceeded eastbound at the same slow pace. I looked away for about 15 seconds and when I returned my gaze the craft was gone. The whole sighting was no more than 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Campbell, OH
My husband first saw the cigar shaped object in the sky. He ran in and got me. When I made it outside all I could catch was the back end of it going over the tree tops. Through the trees I could see a dim flickering, almost like the paper lanterns, there was no sound, and the object was huge, at least the size of a greyhound bus. This has been about the 3rd time since the beginning of summer since we have seen these objects. Was not able to get clear video.

San Diego, CA
On the evening of October 26th, 2017, I witnessed and filmed a cigar-shaped UFO from my balcony. I was able to take two videos of it before it disappeared behind some trees. I went out to my balcony to look at the sunset, which I do every evening, and I noticed a cigar shaped (glowing bright white) object, hovering in a vertical position. It caught my eye because it was so bright. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, so it was easy to see. When I started to focus on the object, it rotated to a 2 o’clock position, and then started to descend in a slow, deliberate manner. As it descended, it rotated to a horizontal position, as it was moving south. It descended to a few hundred feet off the ground, and then continued to move in a somewhat straight line, until it disappeared behind some trees in the distance. I live in San Diego, CA, approximately 3 miles from the ocean. The object looked to be a few miles off the coast. Also, as it was moving south, a commercial airliner flew in front of it (on video). It gives a good perspective of how large it was. Even though the object was a few miles west of the airplane, it seemed to be as large, or bigger than the plane.

Randleman, NC
We were riding in SUV returning from Walmart and were on a very dark, back country road. Sky was bright with a half moon visible. Not very cloudy. Just moved from left to right very very quickly...white light only...came into view and then left as fast as it appeared...much to fast to be a jet plane, parallel to horizon and would not have been a falling star or comet...VERY BRIGHT and VERY FAST I am 57, my son is 25 and his girlfriend is 23. All saw the same thing and I have NEVER witnessed anything like it in my life. A totally unique experience. Strange indeed.

Bonne Terre, MO
While fishing seen a very bright light, as bright a Venus, in the North sky. It was moving much faster than the three planes flying in the sky at the same time. It traveled towards the East and the light stopped glowing and we could see a very large cigar shaped object not making a sound as it passed over and continued traveling East until it was out of sight. Dogs around the area were barking very aggressively as it passed over.

Tustin, CA
On Sunday, 10/22, (last Sunday) at about 3 p.m., three of us saw a very strange object in the sky. Comparing it to cigar shaped UFO sitings online, it's the only thing we came up with. We watched it ... it was not moving like a plane or balloon, but was stationary, and would only turn.... it was so distant, that you would only see it when the sun reflected off it. It was silver. I took some photos with a 500 mm lens and then enlarged them.

Bismarck, ND
was coming from the northwest side of Bismarck traveling east when I seen two lights at an angel one higher than the other stationary over southeast bismarck then it moved sideways in a northeast direction without sound. Couldnt see anything more than just the two lights, but it was close to the ground more than a plane. I dont think it was a drone. It gave me the creeps.

Wenatchee, WA
At 3:52 pm I was standing in the doorway of my garage, looking north. I noticed a cigar shaped, silver colored craft heading from east to west at a rapid rate of speed. It turned sharply and headed north. I was trying to rule out plane or bird as I witnessed the event. It was neither as it was moving so fast and turned on a dime, changing direction. I will be submitting an additional report immediately following this one involving another sighting 2 hours, later witnessed by myself and Husband.

Effingham, IL
I was driving into my neighborhood after picking up my daughter from school. I saw something flying behind our subdivision over a forest area. I got my phone out and started recording it. It was moving very slowly and at first I thought maybe it was a drone. It was way to large to be a drone though. As I got closer to it, I turned off my video to turn it to camera to take a pic and I looked back up and it was gone. I drove home to grab something at my house and as I am pulling out my driveway I see it again, just slowly moving and hovering over the forest again. As I got closer I tried to get my camera view on again and it disappeared again. That was it, but I did get a view of it on video. My phone would not work for a little bit either. I couldn’t call anyone or upload the video at first.

Rome, GA
I was driving on Hwy 53 from Calhoun to Rome, when I noticed an object just sitting still in the sky, reflecting the sun, as I start into a curve the reflection goes away but returns as I go through the curb and the object remains. All of a sudden, it's gone. There were no clouds in the sky for it go behind, it just vanished. It was close to a power substation.
