Glen Burnie, MD
At 3:43pm on 1/5/2015 in Glen Burnie, Maryland, United States, I saw a long silver object. I was looking out my open window towards the east. It appeared to be very very high in the sky it was long and silver bright and moved at a steady rate toward what looked to be SE. It was very very clear sky's and not a cloud in site with very bright blue sky's. It appeared as if the sun from the west was shining very bright on the object. This is a pretty windy day so it could just be a silver balloon. The object did not turn or shift it just seemed to dissolve. I live with in about a few miles of a airport and have planes and other aircraft fly directly over my house, so close I can read and see which airline the plane is from. I have lived here my entire life, im 26 years old so I know aircraft very well and their paths of flight. This object made no noise at all. Whenever I see a very high up plane that flies by and the sound does not hit my ears till later due to ai! rcraft speed and hight the object I saw had no sound ever. I hope this report helps someone confirm their sighting if they saw the same object. Thanks for letting me share my sighting. If the owners of this site need more info just let me know. Thanks.

On new years night 2015 me and my grandchildren were sitting on the balcony when we saw a red glowing cylinder shape UFO come from seemingly over the ocean up but close toward us. It then went straight up and to the left till gone from our vision. I'm matter of 1/1_1/2 he's we saw 11 more come from the same direction and do the same thing like the all were going the same place. It scared us but excited us so we couldn't stop watching for them. There were 12 total. They glowed red at first but when they were closer they seemed to have fire inside that made the center most part glow bright yellow with the red still all around the flickering yellow. Then they just were gone. No more appeared. Very amazing. What were they? Happy New Years. Huh?!!!!

Hi. my name is ((name deleted)). I was on my way to cash my check at the regular check cashing spot I usually go to. On my way there I stop at the crossing light and saw to my left across the street what I thought at first was a jet taking off, as I'm near several airports and a few military bases. I kept an eye on this object that resembled a jet or missile going into the sky at a 90° angle. As it kept going up, it disappeared and then after 5 seconds or so it reappeared, but the funny thing is that it slowed down to a total stop and was now much bigger. It resembled a pill or a cylinder shape. It stayed there for about 6 to 8 minutes. At this time I was getting ready to cross the street and looked away for one second and when I looked back up it was gone. Except I saw the tail of smoke it left. Now two minutes later a helicopter appeared going in the direction in which the object was just at. I watched this helicopter circle around for at least five or ten minutes and then it left. I couldn't believe this was happening. I wish my camera/video recorder was working but it wasn't. The other funny thing is that I seem to be the only person interested in looking at this object. This hasn't been the first time I've seen something strange and it won't be the last. T Thank you for listening. C.T.C.am!

A white wingless cylinder with no contrail slowly and steadily flew along what appeared to be a straight flight path due west. Due to the apparently straight path, it seemed to be slowly rising with respect to the ground - as opposed to normal planes which maintain altitude and therefore follow a curved path. In addition, it became smaller and smaller as if it flew directly parallel to my vision. At the same time a jet liner with a contrail approached from the east. The jet appeared to be higher altitude (I estimate 12,000 to 15,000) and I would estimate the cylinder to have been about 8,000 to 11,000 feet altitude. The cylinder made no sound and continued along the straight path until it disappearing in the distance. Could have been a blimp but it seemed to be moving quite fast.

Is pulled over and took a few pictures. We suspect a high-altitude jet, generating a contrail in a clear, blue sky. PD

The cylindrical craft were pretty far off and hard to see through the cell phone camera. I could see with the naked eye that there was what appeared to be a separation or indentation in the center of the craft. I am not sure I’m seeing its side or underneath, but I think I was seeing the side of the craft. I can see there are no wings or propellers. They are just bright moving cylinders. They were moving westward. I was unable to determine if there was any sound associated with the craft as there was a chainsaw noise a few doors down. Not long after I lost sight of the UFOs a jetliner passed over and it was obvious it was a jetliner. I could see the wings, the side and underside as well. The 2 craft I had been observing were not airplanes. I suspect some sort of government operation, but I cannot be certain. I have never seen craft such as these before. I did a youtube search and found someone in Ireland who saw the identical scene. They also saw 2 bright daytime craft very much like what I observed. Also, there were a lot of large black birds flying at the same time I was videoing the craft.

Me and my son were leaving to go deer hunting. Saw the red and blue lights on either end or side and thought it must be an airplane but soon realized it wasn't moving and that it wasnt a helicopter. Asked my son to get back out of truck to look and used my binoculars to look at it. Both of us noticed what appeared to be a reflective ball underneath that could not be seen with the naked eye. It was still in the same position when we left approximately 5 minutes later. I AM NOT A UFO PHANATIC; however, it must have had some purpose. Google Earth maybe?

Longview, WA
The power went out in our neighborhood around 4:00 p.m. My fiance and I decided to leave our house to go get some candles and other things we would need for the outage. We stepped outside and I looked to the sky and thought to myself how brilliant the stars looked. Immediately, I noticed two long cylinder-shaped objects in the sky. I pointed them out to my fiance and he gasped. We watched the objects for about 10 seconds. They were parallel to each other and moving in a NE direction. They were brightly lit and white almost silverish in color and identical. Moving at high speeds, they suddenly began to criss-cross with each other. Kind of zig-zagging and began to lower altitude until they vanished behind some pollution clouds from the nearby factory. This was unlike anything I ever witnessed in my entire life. My fiance saw it as well and we were both amazed. There is no possible way they could have been known human crafts. Not a shooting star, meteor or comet. Not weather balloons, or commonly human made objects. I am positive that they were intelligently maneuvered. There is no doubt in my mind that I saw something truly magnificent tonight.

I went to look and it was a flying cylinder shaped object. It was dark, so I couldn't really see how it looked like. It had lights that were blinking, like plane lights and it could not be a plane, even though I live near an airport. If it was, I would have been able to hear a loud thundering noise flying over my house. It was at least 2 yards high above the roof of a house. It flew past 2 houses near mine and then swerved to front part of my house. I went to see it from my foyer window. It was small from a far distance. It flew across the window view and headed for the woods clearing nearby. After that, I couldn't see where it went. My cousin who was driving in the neighborhood on the way to my house and hour and a half earlier said that she saw it come from the neighborhood across the street and come to my neighborhood. It went behind some houses then swerved towards the direction of her car and then turned back and flew somewhere else. My guess is that it probably has something to do with the government like calculating census or there looking for someone. I do not believe that it is a UFO from outer space.

I was driving to the store, heading east and the moon was half full, but just the underbelly of the moon, and I saw what I thought was a street lamp, but it was moving kinda side to side. came to a stop past trees and what not, and just below the moon the object waivered side to side, then up and down and the just shot like a bullet out, it was like watching a tail of a comet, but it was split seconds. Nothing moves like that...I literally freaked out and pulled over and called my fiancée and said you have no Idea what I just saw.....I swear......nothing I know of moves that way, or can leave that fast....

I tried to get a photo on my cell phone but all I got was a picture of the blue sky. They both seem to be cylinder shaped with no wings and absolutely no sound. Flying at their speed and as low as they where you would expect to hear something. The color of the crafts where white or silver and the weather that day was mostly clear sunny skies with clouds moving in from the East.

Bright white cylinder shaped object glowing in sky. It was in a "north to south" position "upright" "lengthwise" not sideways. It was in one location not moving. I was driving on June St crossing Chandler St. heading towards May St intersection. I wanted to get closer to take a picture and it disappeared. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

It looked like the space station with smaller crafts coming from it, going to the ground and going back up to the larger craft, they went back and forth many times. After 30 minutes I got tired of watching them and went back inside and went to bed. I saw the crafts in the south-west skies. I could hear dogs barking from a distance. Skies were clear. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Chandler, AZ
On 11/14/2014 at 2:15 pm, I witnessed a black cylinder shaped object floating in the sky at the Interstate-10 entrance on Chandler Blvd. in Arizona. I did not have a chance to pull over and study it very closely because I was waiting to turn left at a red light. From inside my car it appeared to be about 1 to 2 feet in length and it was vertical. I was about to turn left (west) on the I-10 freeway when I noticed the object in the North sky sitting low and motionless above oncoming traffic. It was definitely not a balloon. It was low enough to tell there were no strings attached and the object looked really solid. That is, it wasn’t bobbing or weaving like a balloon. At first I thought it might have been a drone but there were no propellers or wings. There were no lights on it that I could see. I couldn’t tell if it was making any kind of sound because I was in the car. There were no streetlights or power lines near it so it couldn’t have been attached to anything. However, there was a street light about 20 yards in front of it and it appeared to be hovering at about the same height, maybe a little higher. No one else seemed to notice it. That is, no one pulled over to take a closer look. Was this a drone? Has anyone seen something similar or am I going crazy? I’ll check again tomorrow on my way home from work to see if it’s still there. Although I doubt it, I drive the same route every day and this was the first time I’ve ever seen something like this. P.S. My mom has had multiple UFO encounters over the years. I’m in my 30’s and this is the first experience I have ever had. I’m usually the smug skeptic that rolls her eyes at these sorts of stories. Maybe I should change my tune.

Me and my friend was outside on the back of my car. We heard something sounded like a helicopter, but it seem liked forever to get to us. About 2 minutes later we seen what appeared a flying cylinder with blinking color light going around it. At first we thought it was coming for us because we were the only two people outside at the time. Then it changed into a 3 light object thing. Flew away then disappeared in thin air behind the trees.. I also had a video of the object on my phone. At first people at work and friends didn't believe me. I showed almost all my friends the video an a few co-works before a few month later I broke my phone and had to get anew one.

A very brief sighting in that I noticed this object the size of a normal passenger airline except it had no wings. It was flying south east of my location at a hight lower than normal. I was entering at park with trees, by the time I was able to get another clear look at it no longer was it visible. A clear day blue sky not a cloud. This object was silver not a normal silver I don’t know what made it different in color it just was. And thats about all I have with me a good cam maybe next time.

We watched 2 of these cylinder shape objects in the sky. We made a video. They were white. One of them came close enough that we were sure that we had no idea what it was. It moved slow and sometimes it just floated stationary. It's movement was erattick. I know I am not crazy, actually I am a police officer and so were the other 3 officers that were with me. It was clear weather in daylight.

Woodburn, OR
I want you to know I do not do this. This is my first time reporting a sighting and I am confused about what I saw. On an October midday afternoon I was sitting on my deck and it was a somewhat warm day with some overcast. Which was quite a comfortable afternoon for October (10-13-14). I chose to sit in my chair outside with the dog and watch the clouds and I was watching a military cargo plane which the sound caught my attention fly over my house and head south the clouds started breaking up, my eye caught a flash from a silver and blue object which was right above the military cargo plane. I was not sure I saw what I saw so I closed my eyes and blinked a few times, when I was done and got focus again the object was still in same area south of my town Woodburn, Oregon. This is all I am sending at this time after the abusive comments received in finding a place to report. ((e-address deleted)) If I hear back fine if not I will destroy my drawing and hand letter thank you for listing hopefully I can sleep now please if this is laughed off I won’t file and other sighting or bother u again Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
