I observed two craft, one much brighter and closer than the other, moving in a erratic manner, then changing shape and accelerating away at incredible speed with smaller craft following at first it just looked like two balls of lights blueish in color then more white an faint sound could be heard as well as insects really becoming loud. This is my first craft sighting however other family have seen them I have had one encounter with a being not from here at a classified location. My back ground is USMC Ret, and I hold master/mate licenses, Unlimited Radar Observer certificate for any body of water or inland waterway an any tonnage world wide as for entities encounter I’ll only report that in person an identity hidden with My Regard

Carrollton, TX
We were at Arby's between 12:30 pm and 1:00 pm when we saw a chem trail in the sky pretty high up, and from the top of it we saw a metallic object falling straight down. We watched it until we could no longer see it. My sister thought it was a weather balloon, but I did not. It went down in a straight line, but it looked like it was tumbling, and it looked metallic.

Stratford, CT
While watering flowers in the evening, I saw an object high in the sky which was motionless. The object was black and did not seem to Rachel advertise the sky as a plane would. I was able to get out my phone and tak. e many pictures before the object disappeared. Upon scrutinizing the photos later it seems that it was not an object but a hole in the sky which constantly changed shape.

Union/North Powder/Baker CityHuntington, wildernes area, OR
On the night of July 11, 2019 I was riding in a car southbound on St Rte 237 about 5 miles NE of North Powder, Or. It was very a dark, mainly clear, night making it very easy to see the stars. Being an avid stargazer, I looked up to the sky to watch the stars pass by. To the southwest from the passengers front seat I saw a strange bright orange light in the sky hovering around the moon. I immediately noticed that this light was not a star or planet and did not seem to be any aerial craft that I am familiar with. There was no explanation as to how this object was staying in the sky because i did not see a jet trail or fire coming from anywhere on the object. I began to get an uneasy feeling in my stomach. As I watched the object, the light elongated into an oblong shape, still showing the same orange light. I watched the object morph back and forth between the orb and the oblong shape for about 15 min in the clear sky. Suddenly clouds appeared covering the area where the moon and the object both were. Through the clouds you could still see the light of the object shining very brightly. I watched the light change color from orange to white and begin blinking in and out from behind the clouds as a strobe light would. After about 3-5 minutes the light completely disappeared followed by the dissipation of the clouds where the moon was back out but nothing was around it. I continued to glance at the sky for the next few minutes and the object suddenly appeared again after about 5 minutes just as it had the first time. The object continued to morph back and forth between the orb and the oblong shape, shifting from side to side, while hovering. The craft stayed around the moon either at the same level or dipping down just a bit below the moon's level. I watched this for about 45 minutes then more clouds showed up between my view and the object, where it repeated the same process as before, then again disappeared. When this happened the clouds followed suit dissipating, revealing the object had vanished once again. After a few minutes the object returned again, where I continued to watch this process repeat, until around 1230 when I fell asleep in the car. I could still see the object very vividly during the event as I passed through towns and cities with their bright lights against the night sky. I saw a plane in a different area of the sky but both the plane and object stayed in separate areas of each other. Since the incident I have had technical issues with my phone working such as touch screen not registering, apps opening themselves, and my battery draining faster. I am thoroughly convinced I saw an extraterrestrial craft in the sky that night.

As I was watching a plane cross the sky, a ball of light shot out from below the plane. It was next to the plane on the right hand side of the Aircraft, And it looked like it was touching the plane. The ball of light changed into a liner or oblong shape, and the light and shot straight up in the sky. And disappeared.

Then my cab came. When I got home I was telling my roommate about it so I wanted to show the pictures so the first one which was actually the second one there was nothing there so I just figured I didn't catch it. But a couple days later I was looking at the picture bu! t decided to look at the second one which was the first one and there it was after I zoomed in but it wasn't a ball of light it was a cylinder shape at an angle, so I zoomed in more and I can make out 3 distinct bluish lights. I took both those pictures within a second so that's how quick it was there and gone. I still have the pictures on my phone. I had forgotten about it till tonight and when I read the post tonight from the Medicine Hat report it sounded exactly like what I had seen. So the medicine hat sighting was 7 mins before my sighting. I don't know how to include the picture but it is available

Coralville, IA
On the evening of July 6, 2019, at around 1800 hours, I was doing a photoshoot with a model on the roof of a hotel in Coralville, Iowa. I was primarily shooting to the northwest with a partly cloudy sky. The goal of the shoot was to get the model with a nice cloudy background in the shots. When I arrived home in Des Moines, Iowa, the next day, I noticed an unusual object on one of the frames. As I began to look at more frames, I noticed the object was moving throughout several of the images. I also noticed the object had a companion. Both objects interacted with the clouds at their base. For the most part, the objects were circular, but in the first few frames one of the objects had an oval shape with a pyramid shape within the oval. Neither I, or the model, noticed the objects during the shoot. I have enclosed a pdf file with several slides detailing the event.

Bridgewater, NJ
At 12:45 4 objects were seen in the sky. The objects were completely black and seemed to float. They maintained proximity of each other. The best description would be something like a plastic bag floating or a very light burnt paper, but we could see they were definitely not bags or papers. Initially we thought they were birds but quickly realized they weren’t. No wings, no defined shape, no flying. Just gently flowing in the sky going up and away from us.

The object traveled in a straight line from the SSE to NNW during the entire observation. A little about me: I am an amateur astronomer with thousands of hours of observing time and know the sky well. This includes many naked eye objects and locations of objects that can only be seen with binoculars or telescope. I was in the Air Force and my specialty located me near the runway. I have observed MANY types of craft and objects in the sky under a variety of conditions. I attended a brief but informative police sponsored training session, provided by a former employer, in looking for and noting details when witnessing an event. I will send you a sketch of the sighting to the address listed on your website, and I intend to contact the local radio station and newspaper. Summary: While in the street, in a residential neighborhood, I noticed a rather bright orange light about 15 degrees above the horizon moving directly towards me. At first I thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight, but helicopters around here never have orange spotlights, only white. I could only see the bright orange light, and not the body of any craft. As it approached it grew in size until it expanded into an orange orb, the closer it approached the larger the orb appeared. I don’t think the orb actually expanded, it just appeared larger, as perhaps an approaching car moving in ones direction would appear as it drew closer. The object wasn’t that far away. The orb grew in size until features became visible. It was clearly NOT a helicopter. There was no propeller, and no body of a craft of any kind visible at this point. The craft made no sound AT ALL during the entire observation. The apparent size of the object from our position was a little smaller than a dime held at arm’s length, and appeared to be about 1000 to 1500 feet in elevation. The entire orb was orange, but down the center of the orb was a straight and solid ‘semi-wide line’ of solid orange light that was somewhat brighter than the rest of the orb. It was easily seen. It extended all the way across the orb, except for the center, from one edge to the other. It essentially split the orb in two. The axis of the solid orange ‘line’ pointed in the same direction the orb was travelling. The ‘line’ did not have a sharp edge but quickly blended into the light orange on either side of it. The circular outer edge of the entire orb was also a little brighter but not quite as bright as the ‘semi-thick line’. It did not have a sharp edge, and quickly blended into the lighter orange as well At the center of the orb, between the solid ‘lines’ was a pulsing light (not blinking). It was not a sharp point of light. It could also be described more accurately as a throbbing light. It was orange in color and pulsing-throbbing dimmer and brighter, dimmer and brighter at a steady and even rate of about 2 ½ pulses per second. The solid orange ‘line’ described two paragraphs ago came close to the edges of the pulsing light at the center, but didn’t appear to connect to it. The pulsing center light was separate and pulsed on its own. The orb was travelling in a path that would take it directly overhead. At about 80 degrees overhead it started to slow down, gradually and very smoothly. The other witness who was also observing the slow down stated… To paraphrase… It’s slowing down to look at you!... I felt the same!! This was a little concerning, and almost spooky for both of us. The orb only slowed down but did not stop. I estimate it slowed down by 25-30%. I don’t recall it regaining its previous speed, but it may have. 5 to 10 seconds after noticing the orb slowing down and passing in the area overhead, the lighted orb began to turn off and on at random on either side of the pulsing center light and solid orange colored axis ‘line’. The throbbing center light did NOT turn off and continued to pulse unchanged. The axis ‘line’ of solid orange light on either side of the pulsing center light remained lighted and unchanged most of the time, but flickered a few times and sometimes fragmented into separate distorted pieces of light, then reformed very quickly. The random turning off and on of light on both sides of the orb occurred more often than the fluctuations of light on the center axis ‘line’. When in the area directly overhead, ALL of the lights on the orb suddenly blinked off and the object tuned completely dark. They did not turn back on even for a moment for the rest of the observation. After all the lights on the orb blinked off, a solid dark shape remained that is best described as a distorted square with uneven rounded corners. The distorted square appeared to remain the same size or very close to the same size as the orb when it was lighted. It continued moving at the same smooth speed. It was dusk and the sun was down but the sky was light blue and clear at our observation site and objects could easily be observed against the background sky. After a few seconds the dark distorted square changed shape into a round disc. This occurred while the object was directly or nearly directly overhead and moving away. The disc remained dark and continued to move smoothly toward the NNW. Because of its changing angle as it moved toward the horizon it became apparent it was a flat disc. I watched carefully to see if ANY type of lighting reappeared. None did. I observed the dark disc as it smoothly cruised in a straight line toward the horizon until the line of sight approached a row of trees about 250 yards away. Because of the dark, brownish black color of the object after the orange lights blinked off , it would have been impossible or nearly impossible to spot the distorted square or disc in a dark sky. The light blue background of dusk is probably the only reason we could observe it.

Ninilchik, AK
Large bright orange donut-shaped object hovering southeast of Iliamna volcano for about an hour and then slowly moved north along Cook Inlet shoreline until it hovered around the base of Iliamna volcano for several minutes. Its light dimmed until it was no longer visible after that. In moments it appeared to split into two separate objects and then rejoin while it was hovering. The donut shape was only noticed while looking through binoculars. At a distance it just appeared as a growing and shrinking orb.

Marshall, MO
While driving noticed one bright white flashing light. I pointed this out to my daughter and son and said hey what's is that it's awful bright. When it turned into three bright white lights in the shape of a cigar. My son started screaming to give him my phone and pull over. I did he jumped out and the three lightss split into separate pieces. All going in different direction. I started driving home and we kept our eye on the sky. Pulled off on gravel to head home and a hundred yards off road was one of the objects hovering. The whole thing pulsed light changing from white to blue to red once in awhile. We where afraid to drive past it so turned car around and headed back towards town. As we were driving the object took off and follows our path and stayed in sight to us. We decided others had to see and turned back to make it home.when home, noticed several more. Watched them all night in front of house in field. Kept joining together and seperating into other lights. Not sure what we saw.

Belen, NM
A few seconds later, I saw what looked like 4 large, bright white headlights set very close together. There was dim light coming from underneath the 4 bright lights. The lights were facing east, facing the freeway. I mentioned the lights to my aunt. We were trying to determine what it could be. The lights appeared to be stationary and continued facing us. We then saw two of the bright lights turn north facing the other 2 lights but they remained very close together. Then, the lights went back to facing the same eastern direction. We continued driving south and we eventually lost sight of them, because the lights never moved.

We were looking at the roof line of our house and noticed a white object directly overhead. We believed it to be an aircraft but it appeared to be stationary. I took photos and video . I went and got my binoculars in order to get a better view, we first observed it to be white with a gey dot in it. After about 15 minutes it then looked like a ying-yang with the grey dot still visible in the upper left part of the object. After several minutes of trying to take a photo with the binoculars over my phone camera I observed it as white with a grey line though it diagonally and the grey circle in the upper left part of the object. The last hour of observation was difficult due to increasing cloud cover. The object moved from directly over our house to about 35 due west over the span of two and a half hours. I verified on my skywatcher app that there wer no celestial bodies or satellites in the area. Photos to be sent.

Ackerman, MS
I was standing in my yard, and saw a grayish black, oval object in the sky. I thought it was an airplane at first, but there was no sound, and it just completely stopped in mid-air for about a minute, and hovered. It then turned in the opposite direction that it was flying (very quickly) and then turned again. After a couple minutes of watching, it then started dropping straight down, changing form into a tiny circle as it dropped into the tree line. Never saw it again.

I filed a report on this sighting earlier. I had reported that the object resembled a very large Mylar solar sail. Since then, I had time to review my 3 minutes of video with some software that allows me to slow down the frame rate. I am filing an image I’ve been able to copy from a screenshot that shows a monochrome cube shaped object in a large checked pattern. I observed this object for 3 minutes as it appeared to rotate and flash extremely brightly randomly. The period between flashes were as short as 3 seconds and as long as 20 seconds. I counted sixteen flashes with two periods repeating themselves; 4.11 seconds, 14.82 seconds.
