Eustis, FL
We live in the rural area east of Eustis, Fl. The stars were out and I spotted a line of lights toward the west just above the tree line from my window it looked to be a mile or so away from me just south of the ocala forest close to Lake Norris. Im not sure of the angle Im guessing 33 degrees, but it was not a helicoptor or airplane. It was just hovering in one spot for about 30 minutes then the clouds got in my view but it was still there. I did not watch any longer and my husband was going to sleep so he would not get up to see it. the next thing I heard was him snoring. I have seen lights above the Black Water Creek on Lake Norris road before but it has been about 20 years ago or more. I was riding in a car going over the creek and looked up and saw lights like a huge airplane just hovering over the creek and bridge. It was massive but could not really believe my eyes an figured I was seeing things.

I was getting ready for bed about 10pm, when out my window there was suddenly very bright lites. I ran outside and was shocked at the object hovering over the trees next to my property just above the tree tops. Huge pulsing yellow and white lights. I grabbed my camera to try and get a picture but it wouldn't work.. Grabbed my phone and it wouldn't work.. My wife's phone also wouldn't work. After 10-15 minutes it started to float away to the south and proceeded west towards the river. For about 3 min., it looked like an airplane, when it suddenly went from a horizontal position to vertical. Was watching in my binoculars when this happened. That's when I noticed the rectangular shape. Then it was getting too far out to monitor. I also noticed 3 pulsing objects the same as I we saw days prior with pulsing reddish orange lites. Main object appeared to be approx. 20-30+/- yards wide.

I was going down highway near the YMCA and I look up in the sky and I see these blinking light flying across the sky. I turn down this other road and then the object just stops. I'm looking at it the whole way down the road. It starts to get closer when I'm getting to my girlfriend's neighborhood. I turned into her neighborhood and there it was just a huge square shape suspended in air not moving at all. I even had my windows down and didn't hear a sound. It had red and white lights pulsing around it. I got to a stop sign and turned left and it followed parallel to me then booked it out of sight.

March 22, 2015, 8:15 pm. There was a bright light off to the right of the moon thought it was a satellite until it started moving. The object was moving side to side. Shape of the object looked like a rectangle with six glowing dots that appeared to be connected together two on top two in the middle and two on the bottom.

Friend and I were standing in the parking lot, basically facing north. I tend to look up at the sky often at night. But we were talking. All of a sudden I noticed something almost white looking in the sky heading NNW. My first thought was geese. I have seen them fly over parking lots at night and they look very interesting in the night sky. So, I listened to hear them, but noticed something odd. The shape was a rectangle, about the shape of a ruler in the sky laying flat, but the ends had about a 45 degree angle at each end. A few seconds in this, I then pointed and just as I did, he saw it too. And we described the same, object to each other. It glided silently in the same direction and then we lost sight of it within 15 seconds or so. It was not terribly high in he air. Maybe a couple hundred feet in the air. I almost look the length of a bus in the sky. But not very wide. I keep trying to convince myself it was a flock of geese. But I have saw a definite shape and my friend did too. We are very curious what that could have been?

Burbank, CA
I was driving on the 134 fwy Westbound coming up towards the Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA, overpass. As I was looking through the Studio side of Burbank, where the Disney building is, I saw the non-reflective deep black triangle hanging diagonally, further on over the 134, not as far as Cahuenga Blvd, but well beyond Pass Ave. In the sky it was at about an angle of 9 o'clock. It seemed to be stationary. It was rotating around its lengthwise axis, but remaining mostly diagonal. From my perception it was of a 2:5 ratio triangle at first, but it turned gradually into a diagonal black line as it rotated. I passed under a second freeway overpass (Pass Avenue, Burbank over the 134 fwy), so it was much further away than the half mile or so that I traveled, and also I have some memory of how much larger the craft became as I approached, which was not much. While I was coming up from under the Pass Ave overpass I saw what looked like the moon, in the western sky, very faint. I don't know if this was the moon, but I was thinking how strange and wispy it looked if it was. It's funny that when you see one unusual object, other objects become suspect even when they are not. I never heard any sound from the object, but I must have been pretty far away. When I first saw the object it was 3/5 the size of the sun in the sky, and it grew to about the size of the sun or bigger, apparently due to my getting closer; so it did get slightly larger. So assuming the object was not growing or shrinking this should indicate how big the actual craft is. This is why I didn't have the sense that it was giant, but it did seem to be larger than 30 feet long. Over the course of 45 seconds its angle changed such that it was getting quite thin, but I still could see it. In another 30 seconds it got too thin to see, and as this happened it appeared to begin to move northward, towards North Hollywood. Obama is speaking nearby today, and arrived at the Burbank Airport here, so this could have been some sort of military drone craft, but it would be interesting to hear about it, since it appeared to be quite a bit larger than a small plane at least. What was so unusual was how black and non-reflective it was, giving the impression of a very high tech finish. Also, it was quite strange the way it hung at such a weird diagonal angle, before rotating out of view. How long I saw it for is hard to say; but I'm guessing between 1 and 2 minutes.

Hovering craft seen on Hendrix's campus. I was walking to an academic building, when I looked up and thought I saw an airplane passing by, but quickly realized that the aircraft or like thing was stationary in the sky. I saw it sitting very low in the sky with blinking lights. It sat there for about five minutes, turned off its lights and seemed to blend in and disappear but then released some sort of gas like substance and made a strange whirling got sound. It then moved a little to a different part of campus and flashed lights and then disappeared. Other people on my campus saw this and pointed it out.

I wake up very early first day in a new town and decide to see what I see out the window- if it's bright out yet. It is dark out the side window but there's some light coming from somewhere. I go back to the large bedside window and see an 8-10 foot tall rectangular billboard just across the path from from my cabin. All white light but brighter in the middle as if stretched from center to all 4 corners (as a photoshop gradient tool creates). I wonder why they put up that massive thing to light the road and if there's others on the path. Why not just little tea lights? Then I wonder if it's a giant sun lamp and think "who needs a sunlamp in daily 90* weather?" I push the curtain aside, making noise that others heard, and look from different angles through the glass thinking maybe it's some kind of illusion but it appears to stay where it is. I try to open the window and it shifts just enough so I can see clearly but it's too noisy and I don't want to wake anyone up so I stop pushing it. I got up and went to the door to see but as I put my hand on the doorknob a feeling of dread came over me. I had considered going outside but became scared as I flashed on me alone and the brambles of the jungle ground just outside the door in the pitch black and also thought the thing might disappear if I go out- I go to the bathroom instead and then lay in bed reading until the sun rises. For some reason I thought it would just be/stay there. When I did walk out in the morning there was not a trace of anything where it should have been. No damage to the grass or disruption in the gravel directly across the road- most of all- no billboard! I remained baffled all day and began to look online. This site is what I came across googling "billboard of light." We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be serious-minded, and sincere about her report. PD

The time was 1:00 p.m. At a stop sign we stopped on the red light, I looked up thru the front windshield and Saw these very very shiny lights. 5 of them. I thought maybe they were drowns. But never saw a drown so was not sure. My husband Looked and only saw one , I kept looking till the light turned green on the stop light. Down the road a short distance was another stop sign, and was red, so we stopped and waited, Again checking up in the sky. Again they were still visible and exceedingly bright. The signal change and we had to go forward, again another stop light, stopped and this time I looked out the side window of my car and the front window too. This all took about 1 to 1 ½ minutes. I could see that two fo them had some of them had a vapor trail. My husband said they were moving west ward. I was not sure by then as I had to keep driving. I am not sure what I saw. UFO’s or something else. But for sure I did see 5 of what ever they were. They were so bright one could not help but see them. We are awaiting a report from the witnesses, at the time of this posting. PD

While outside I thought I heard a car driving down the road I live on, but my attention was drawn above me by lights. I seen a rectangle UFO above my home. I seen ten large bright lights on the bottom of it. It sounded like a car not real loud and moving slow it seemed like it was almost still. It only lasted about 45 seconds and then it went straight up. And was gone. When I walked back into my home I looked at the clock and it said 7 pm. I have the image stuck in my head.

Long Beach, CA
From a Long Beach office on the fourth floor, looking in the NE direction, my co-worker and I saw a black rectangular object. It was moving in an east to west direction. It turned in such a way that it seemed to have disappeared. It reappeared for a moment heading in the opposite direction. It made one last turn where it seemed to disappear again. I estimate it was over the cities of Covina or San Dimas.

Sulphur, OK
The object was about 15 yards away, it was rectangular - about 3 inches high, 12 inches long, uncertain of the width, it was aluminum foil in color, it was traveling from West to East in a straight line approx. 10 feet off the ground. I was facing North, it was traveling from my left to my right. I first saw directly in front of me front of me for about 1 or 2 seconds (in the direction of a farm pond on my property), when it was right in front of me it vanished (I could not see it for 1 of 2 seconds) then it again appeared to my right about 20 feet farther to the East continuing in the same direction it had been traveling and I saw it for 1 or 2 seconds as it traveled away from me. I estimate its rate of speed was 10-15 MPH - about as fast as a man can run. It never reappeared.

It was moving across the sky at a high speed but not as fast as meteor but not as slow as a Military Jet. Their was a dust cloud behind it and it had a little bit of white light. It was going Faster and Faster and lower and lower then it was gone just like that. It was huge like giant. It reminded me of the ships off the avengers the marvel movie. Re-entering Chinese 3rd-stage rocket casing. PD

Danbury, CT
I saw a group of extremely bright red lights in what looked like two rows - Approximately 10 lights in all. The red lights were almost neon colored red and were blinking on and off with white lights. The object looked to be rectangular with the short end of the rectangle to the horizon and the longer ends facing up; the whole thing being at approximately a 45 degree angle. It was descending toward the horizon at a fairly rapid pace - thought not extremely fast. The object was very far away, but still looked large. I watched it descend until the tree-line obstructed the view. Although the lights looked similar to aircraft lights, they were MUCH brighter, and a much more brilliant shade of red. If it was an aircraft, I've never seen one with this many lights on it before.

The lights where to large to be position lights on a plane or helicopter, it came to a sudden stop then dropped while exelerating down toward the ground it appeared as if it was going to crash i could not see the lights it was moving to quickly behind the trees. This was not like anything ive ever saw I was a aircraft mechanic in the USAF on the SR-71 and 33 dept of defence aircraft and nothing moved like this.

Rolla, MO
Trying to sleep in my van, I noticed it just above tree level at the house across the street. It had no sound. It had a light on each bottom corner, but also many smaller lights in an apparent pattern; most white, a few red. As soon as I noticed it, it began to quickly move my direction. I went into a type of (what felt like) sleep paralysis and blacked out, despite my best efforts. I awoke about 30 minutes later. It was gone. A terrifying experience. I am sorry I did not record the exact date. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Driving home from school on Bullard and saw these rectangular orange lights in the sky near Estrella Mountain. As I got closer to a stop light near my home on Bullard and Estrella Parkway, the lights merged towards the center, became one, and disappeared. I was able to get two pictures with my iPhone 5s.

Chennai (India) · India
I just got out of my car after the gym session and was entering my home, in Chennai, India. It was on 31st Jan, 2015 at 8.14 pm IST. The street light outside caught my attention, it was slightly covered with the overgrown branches of the tree and I looked up and saw that the moon was shining bright as well and occurred to me that it would be a good idea to takes some photos just to capture the night sky, the Moon and the street light, as a stark contrast. I noticed about 2 hours later in the photos that I had accidentally photographed a UFO zooming by in a slanting direction. A glowing bright yellow object in rectangular structure zooming across the night sky in a sloping line upwards towards the southern direction. The last couple of photographs taken at about 8.16 pm, 2 minutes later, shows twin lights emitted and the structure has changed direction and moved upwards towards the Moon. I was amazed and puzzled.

Malibu, CA
Huge, "air craft carrier sized and shaped" ufo off-shore in Malibu, with "brilliant and beautiful star colored lights, as well as red & blue ones on a "mast" shaped sub-structure, with white gold rotating ones around its circumference", in California on January 29th, 2015, from approximately 5:45-6 a.m. Approximately 200 yards to half mile off Shore in Malibu, California... This object moved through water in such a way that if it were a naval vessel or ocean going craft it would have been moving along its port or starboard beam instead of bow wise through the water. Its gold/white circular lights, which seemed to surround its entire super structure - which seemed to be semi opaque or transparent in nature - seemed to be rotating like a circus's merry go round, while other lights, including a bright red one, a super bright white one, and some extremely brilliant star greenish blue ones as well as a deep dark blue one, appeared to be strung upon 1) a type of mast at the rear right side, and 2) perhaps strung in some kind of lines from that mast like a lighted sailing ships ropes and or lines of Xmas tree lights --3) as well as being/or simply interspersed throughout the entire semi opaque bodies mass of the super structure with the spinning merry go round white gold lights This object was so large and must have displaced roughly the same amount of water as a mini nuclear powered aircraft carrier - yet when my fiancé left our apartment on the beach on Malibu Road (right beneath PCH and Pepperdine University, by Malibu Canyon/Las Virgenes Road) to go for a ten minute drive, it was nowhere in sight off shore. Yet when she returned approx. ten minutes later, there it was, looming right off the beach. It just sat there in the water while we exclaimed and wonder aloud about it and went to fetch binoculars and a telescope and our iPhones to attempt to capture stills and video of it but it was too far and dark to enable a capture-yet it remained there while we scrutinized it for five or so minutes till she said, "I'm going inside- it's too close." Then, as if responding to her fear it moved off so as not to trouble her to the north east somewhat laterally-port side first rather then bow or stem to stern... When we checked back in another five or so minutes, it was nowhere to be seen, yet a rather blurry and opaque fog had indeed moved in approx. where it was doing whatever it was engaged upon, before our scrutiny and my girl's sudden apprehension- and it's my pet conjecture and theory that it simply "cloaked" itself to be able to resume its tasks unobserved and uninterrupted, as the sun came up around six am and the entire sighting lasted only about fifteen minutes, or from 5:45 till when we checked back at six after sunrise, and it had disappeared. Please see below NUFORC comment about this alleged event. PD

Described as rectangle/square shaped. Had lights on corners, blue, green and red. Appeared to have a domelike shape on top and underneath where a light would shine down. A military type helicopter following it. The craft moved slowly, then sped away into sky, with helicopter following it. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Saint Augustine, FL
((name deleted)) to me 0 minutes ago Details: January ???, 2015, approx. 1:30 am in the morning, while driving North on I-95, somewhere south of St. Augustine exit to U.S. 1. I remember slowing down quickly to a stop in the emergency lane. I cannot remember why I did this. I thought of getting my IPhone ready to take pics but I reasoned that time was of the essence and I would not be able to enter the Passcode, find camera app, open it, then shoot. I then remember getting out and moving to the other side of my car and looking up. I saw what appeared to be a silent rectangular shaped object with a long blue light underneath, a very long tube shaped light; I am not sure how high it was but I believe it was tree top level; my side of the trees that lined the roadway. I am not sure but I think it had turned off its lights as it passed me ( because I did not see it clearly while being only feet from me) being head high above the ground. There was only ambient light available. I heard the craft as it passed me (approx. 20-30 mph); It made a combination of an electrical/mechanical sound (mechanical being the possible result of a pulse like a droning ping against the metal or craft material encasing the propulsion system) … not very loud. No prop sounds or conventional engine sounds when it had passed me; not sure how far, it went to become silent again but a good guess would be 20-30 feet. The next time I actually saw the craft (not in detail but possible shape; rectangular at best, it was tree top level with possible red, blue, and white lights on before it turned left with ease out of sight. I don’t remember getting back into my car or anything else that morning (as I usually go to bed around 3 am) except making a mental note of the St. Augustine exit and saying to myself that it wasn’t far behind me where I encountered the craft. My wife told me that I had told her every day of the encounter never altering my story once. The thing is she tells me that I had been telling her for weeks when I realized so much time had passed while I was still thinking that it had just happened. My mind has not revealed anything else of the encounter; I believe that I suffered some sort of emotional shock or trauma from the experience.
