Parole, MD
While I was driving north on Rt. 2 in Parole, Md. today, I saw a vivid white rectangular shaped object high in the sky above the Anne Arundel County Hospital. It caught my attention because of its white color which was very clear against a clear blue sky. It also didn't appear to be moving. I lost sight of it as I turned right onto West St. and once I had a clear view of that area again the object was gone. I'm hoping that other people may have seen it also and could possibly add more details.

Quincy, CA
At approximately midnight and about 15-20 minutes after midnight (New Year's), 6 or 7 elongated reddish orange lights moved slowly across the sky from East to West. With binoculars the shape of each object seemed to be elongated rectangular with an aura of soft white light surrounding the top in an arc shape. The first two lights at first appeared to be large wingtip lights but then several other lights followed the first two in a one-by-one procession. There was no sound, they moved rather slowly, no jerking and it was difficult to determine how high up in the sky the objects flew. At the exact point in the sky, overhead from the observation location, each light was no longer visible (faded/blinked out) when it arrived at that point. The lights were spaced apart, not side by side except for the first two observed. They did not travel in a line, but were staggered in formation. No photo was taken because no smartphone or camera available with night photo capacity. A map and possibly drawing will be forwarded via email to ufocntr@nwlink.com.

Temecula, CA
Temecula is in Southern California, and today was very odd because it snowed last night. We drove up to a small mountain range off of Hwy 15, parked, and my wife two small kids and I were playing in the snow (a ~4" blanket of snow was on everything). There were scattered houses in the area, each on 5-15 acres. After about 10 minutes of playing/pictures, I was looking at the nearest house, that was about 1/4 mile away, when I noticed a rectangular blue sheet rise out of a small grove of fruit trees near the house. The sheet appeared to be about 6' x 12' and was semi-transparent and oscillating...it looked like a thin sheet of blue fire (it moved much like fire would). Before it cleared the tree-line, a very bright whitish flash emanated from the top and it was gone. My wife happened to be looking in the same general direction, she saw the bright flash (but did not witness the blue sheet). The final flash was as bright as lightning. The entire incident was silent and lasted about 3 seconds. I have heard of "Sheet lightening" but this doesn't fit the description. This was very, very odd, out of place, and nothing like I have every seen before...it seemed out of this world.

Yorktown, NY
Driving home from work I glanced over to the passenger side window to see a large rectangular/square shaped object. This object was big and even bigger then a commercial airplane. It was also very low in the air and just about the top of the near by trees on the side of the highway. It had a lot of neon green light around it and was mostly that same color. As I see this object slowly moving it then moves extremely fast, zooms and disappears into thin air. It is almost like the object sensed me looking at it and zoomed to disappear. In my entire life I have never seen something move that fast. This experience lasted about five seconds. I have not been able to not stop thinking about the experience and It is something that I will never forget. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was taking a nap, and woke up out of sleep because of a loud sound, almost like an airplane jet. I looked out my window and saw a strange rectangle object in the sky. It stayed in my eye sight for nearly 10 minutes. I am a bit freaking out right now. I have pictures. When it left, it was rectangle shape and left on a tilted slant. It moved out of my vision once before it left, when an airplane was flying through (this object was not in the normal flight path of the planes ). Once the airplane left, it came back. The lights were green and white, i saw a red one flash in one picture making 3 lights. I think it to be rectangle but in one picture it looks like a disk. They are here!!

Falls Church, VA
i saw a brght light in the sky which was not moving at first from my car. As i got closer, it started to move, and was right behind me. I thought it was a plane. Then I went to 7 eleven, and when i got outside, the light was there, but was not moving, and then I started to drove and the light followed me again. I got home within 2 mins, and it was still there, but as soon as i got off the car, it was gone. It happened to me twice.

Townsend, DE
A clear night, lots of star formations. Walking dogs, every night. Looked above tree line due to large bright lights coming towards us. At first, there was a huge triangle of lights, very big and bright. Then, the form changed into 3 huge, impressive entities. NO SOUND, GLIDING across the sky, at times, hovering very low. Each of the objects were top to bottom, if you will. Imagine a long 2 X 4 piece of lumber, the smaller end at the top and the longer part being vertical. HUGE glowing, impressive bright lights on each one. After they were side by side, slowly, silently, all 3, one at a time started to leave. When each one left, alone, it turned ever so slighly as to expose the outline of the object from the lights exposing the magnitude of the size of each one. Then each one left exactly same way. The most AMAZING sight I have ever seen in my 64 yrs. 4 witnessed

Dallas, TX
On this night of November 14th, facing a little southeast, at approx. 7:31 pm, while driving with a sibling, we saw an unidentified flying object. It was rectangle in shape and was black. It had 5 lights on the front resembling that of high beams, but were blinking like hazard lights but in an alternating fashion. There were 2 red lights on the outside and 3 white lights in the middle. The white lights were the main lights blinking, almost like search lights. The object flew in an upright position so that when it flew over me I could see its underside which was rectangle shaped as well. The more extraordinary part about this sighting is that I could also hear the object. It made a light whooshing sound that was softer than that of a plane and kept the same tone. It was a calming sound like that of ocean waves and I live nowhere near a large body of water capable of producing such a sound. It also was lower than any plane I've ever seen before. The object came rig! ht out of the clouds in front of me as I was driving on a residential road near my home. Seeing the object prompted me to pull over and get out of my car to witness this immaculate event. The object literally flew right over me allowing to give such specific details. After this experience was over I got back in my car and pulled off. As I got on a nearby highway I was able to see the object once again as it faded off into the clouds once more and was at a higher position in the sky than before when it was right over me. This was one of the most shocking events I've seen. To actually experience what I've only heard people speculate about and document encounters about is beyond any word I could use to describe. Truly freaky and bewildering. I hardly know what to think.

IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION THE TIME IS IFFY...IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 11:00PM ON THE 3RD TO 3:00AM ON THE 4TH I WAS TAKING SOME TRASH OUT TO THE TRASH CAN, WE LIVE NEAR AIRPORT, HEARD A JET FLY OVER, I LOOKED UP SAW THIS YELLOWISH SQUARE OBJECT FLYING ACROSS THE SKY. AS I WAS WATCHING IT, I NOTICE I COULD NOT HEAR THE JET ANYMORE. SO I WONDERED WHAT THIS OBJECT WAS. IF I HELD MY HAND OUT AT ARM'S LENGTH AND HAD MY INDEX FINGER AND THUMB ABOUT AN 1/4 INCH APART. THAT IS HOW BIG THE OBJECT LOOKED. I FIGURED I JUST SAW THE SPACE STATION JUST FLY OVER(?). WHAT EVER IT WAS IT MADE NO NOISE, AND HAD TO BE VERY BIG (IT WAS VERY HIGH IN THE SKY). IT CAME OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AND TRAVELED TO THE SOUTH EAST (WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A SPACE STATION FLY OVER.) WE LIVE IN THE WOODS, TALL TREES SO THE OBJECT WAS NOT IN VIEW FOR VERY LONG (1 MIN - LESS) SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL REPORTS OF PEOPLE SEEING A AMBER OBJECT, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST LOG THE EVENT.

Johnson City, NY
Sighting: Time: Approximately 9:25pm EST Date: November 3rd, 2014 Location: Johnson City, NY, neighborhood of of Oakdale Road and Watson Boulevard. As my son and I were traveling west on Watson Boulevard, away from the Oakdale Mall, I noticed an object with red and white lights, a cube or sort of square shape, hovering near a "power line tower". The lights were static and were not blinking. I slowed down my car to about 15 mph to try to understand what it was. It appeared to be about 500 feet or more above ground. It was large, but not huge. My son was in the front passenger seat, and rolled down his window to get a better view. I kept looking and driving slowly and then looked away so I could stay on the road. My son kept watching it. He said he thought it was the size of about 3 cars. My son also said that it began to move in a north, north east direction. There was no sound whatsoever. I finally turned the car around and pursued the direction we saw it traveling in. We drove up Oakdale Road for about a mile and a half; until we lost sight of the object. Anonymous

Simpsonville, SC
Finally about the third time I looked up, I saw a void in the sky, it took me a second to focus on it because there were no lights, no sound, just a shape cruising across the sky. I have no idea how high up it was, it was not at the height of a plane but was definitely way above the tree line, and all I could see was a shape. It literally looked like a roundish rectangular loaf of bread flying through the sky. There was no color to it, just a shape. It went in a straight line, at what looked like a very consistent speed, and I was able to watch it all the way across the sky above me, until it flew out of sight. At first I thought the wind had caught something up but it was so steady, just cruising along, and the wind doesn't move things! like that, not to mention the wind was blowing in a completely different direction, at least that is how it felt. It's hard to describe how I felt, bewildered would probably be the best description, oh, that and...a little crazy. I keep trying to rationalize it but I just can't. By far the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Edmond, OK
I arrived for my 19:30 evening class at UCO very early at 18:45 - Parked in the metered parking area, looked for coins for the meter, since I didn't have much I decided to walk around near the car and put the coins in the meter closer to class time. The sun was setting in the west and the sunlight pinkish and dimming quickly I turned around and Old North was lighted so beautifully I decided to take a photo, never satisfied with the layout of the first photo I took a second photo with better composition. On 11/3 upon reviewing my photos I noticed the object in both photos. I sent the photos to a friend for further analysis and we were unable to clearly identify a logical explanation. The object is dark/black and appears angular but not rectangle or triangle - like a boxy UFO shape.

A rectangle object very big with multicolor lights was going in circles for a period of 45mins, in a very slow speed. No sound. We have changed the date above, to reflect a sighting in October, not November. PD

This is the second time I am making this report to add a few details, plus I really like to know what I saw right now I have no clue what I saw. I was driving and came in to this area where I heard an engine mechanical sound, (not a helicopter or plane) I did not see it until I pasted some trees, to the right in the air still in a distance away an odd shape craft in the air just above the trees, really questioned what I saw a brightly light diamond shape saw some tracks on the inside and reddish color, as I watched it closed to a triangle, travelled in my direction and flew past in front of me, this object have three blinking lights one in front two on each side the bulbs were cylinder shaped, there was a flat red light on the back, watched it go slowing into the clouds, I could see the red glowing from red as it was in the clouds. (For the life of me no idea why I did not attempt to get a picture I so regret this)

Myrtle Beach, SC
Last night my roommate and I were sitting on my front porch, the time was between 20:45 and 21:15. I was stargazing and just looking around because it was a clear, very crisp night for South Carolina, I looked left and noticed about 4-5 lights all in a row, orange, red and white hues (almost like track lighting) just above the trees. I said to my friend do you see that and he acknowledged the same thing I was seeing. I got up to walk to the driveway to get a better view and the lights completely disappeared. We may have only witnessed it for about 20 seconds. After about five minutes of trying to figure out what we saw we walked down the driveway to the road to see if we could see it anywhere else in the sky and we didn’t. We did however then notice about 3 white blinking lights in a line at first close together and the pretty far apart going through the sky very fast, we thought maybe fighter planes? These planes started at the area where we first saw! the lights and we watched them until they were out of site, they did not disappear just flew out of visual range.

Brush Prairie, WA
I witnessed this object looking west at 11:00 p.m. it hovered there as I watched for about 10 minutes. As I watched the object it had red, blue, green, yellow but mostly white lights flashing with no pattern but consistently flashing in the night sky. I would estimate the object to be approximately ½ mile away. It hovered a couple hundred feet above the trees. We live in a highly wooded area, lots of trees. I watch it and went inside my home after about 10 minutes. It was still hovering when I went inside my home. The size of the object I cannot be sure of but it was rectangular shaped and was big enough to see all the different colors flashing. I have seen this object before in the night sky a few other times always in the west sky in the last 2 years that I have lived in Brush Prairie, Washington, but never have reported it until now. This object was closer than it has ever been to our home. It was not an airplane, helicopter, satellite or meteor. I like to go out in the evening and look at the constellations and because we are 25 minutes away from Vancouver, Wa. It is very dark and you can really see the stars.

Arnold, MO
Driving home from the grocery store with my two children.My son (8 years old) noticed it first, asking me what was in the sky. I looked up and saw a series of dim red lights that appeared to make a gigantic rectangle. I pulled over to get a better look and it became obvious that the hovering lights were actually one unit. i knew this because they moved in sync.It seemed like I could almost see the craft as it came a little closer. It gracefully went straight up in the air and disappeared. During this time I was noticing a second craft following towards it from the Noth east. It looked the same, but I couldn't see it as well because of the tree lines. In relevance to where this happened, I was on Richardson Rd in Arnold, MO, approaching the highway 55 acceleration ramp. The crafts were above Home Depot and Defense Mapping. I would say that the crafts were every bit as big as a football field, if not bigger. This was a positive sighting. Me and my kids watched in disbelief for roughly 5 minutes. I came straight home to Google it because I'm sure that we are not the only people to see this. That is when I found this site

Wichita, KS
Walking up to my house when what sounded at first like a low plane but when I turned around it was really low in the sky shaped like a rectangle with no wings on the side but 2 underneath it with almost like red car lights on the back. Grey color. Flying over the house going north. I ran back to the driveway to get a better look and instead of flying up like a plane would taking off it went down instead behind the roof no longer in view. We assume an evening sighting, and have changed the time, to reflect that suspicion. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to contact her.

North Salt Lake, UT
Around 5:20am on October 14, 2014, a black SUV with tinted windows was parked facing west in a “No parking zone” in front of my residence. As I traveled East, I kept thinking that it looked like a surveillance vehicle but as I turned north I realized the vehicle was facing to see a flying object at about 100 ft above the ground that seemed to be floating. The object had intermittent white lights forming a line. The body of the object seemed to be rectangular in shape. It was dark so the lights were the only guide to size and shape.

Cherry Grove, SC
Six friends 70 year old vacationing at Cherry Grove, SC, sitting on the porch looking out over the ocean. There was a full moon. Bright golden color lights appeared. We all agreed that they were not stars. There were 4 of them and they appeared one at a time split seconds apart. Observing closely Each one was a cluster of three smaller lights. They did not move. They disappeared one by one within just seconds. We saw three separate events within 30 minutes. I made a video of one event.
