My story is very thrilling. My family and i were BBQ in our backyard. We took our seats around our fire pit and started to eat our food. One of us saw a light in the sky. He said, ''Guys! Did you see that?'' We said, ''no, what did you see?'' he said ''it was a light, i don't it was a shooting star it didn't leave a streak. but not only that....it was red and yellow. We stared like it was pulling our leg. suddenly we all saw the red and yellow craft which was a cigar shape. After about 1 it went away. The whole time the crafts were just sitting there and it almost seemed like they were spectating us. We all went to bed thinking it was just military aircrafts. but here is where it gets interesting....one us (which was a teen girl) said she woke up and heard a rumbling sound in our backyard...she said that she looked out the window and stunned to see little eyes staring at her (directly at her). she also said that that she saw an aircraft but it was very small. It was only about 10 by 4 craft. She ran to her bed and went under her covers and stayed there in till dawn. She didn't sleep at all that night and said in the morning what she saw. we went outside and we were shocked to see a lining of a large circle in the dirt. In till then we all think it was maybe a UFO. so that is why we came to you guys. Please email me back as soon as you guys can, so i can and my family figure this mystery out. There is much more details to tell. And when you email me back, please tell me if there has been any similar sightings as what i saw.

Surfside Beach, SC
At approx. 20:52, I was standing on my front porch facing the south, at which time an object appeared from a westerly direction traveling eastward at a low altitude and at a very high rate of speed. The object had a very bright single light on the front and appeared to possibly be cigar shaped. There was absolutely no sound, and was visible for 3 to 4 seconds, after which the object disappeared from view. I was not wearing a watch, but approx. 5 minutes after seeing the object, I went in my house and called the Surfside Beach POLICE Dept.and reported the sighting and asked if others had reported the sighting and the dispatcher informed me that a lady reported seeing the object while walking her dog.

Cooper City, FL
Craft was not metallic, but looked white, with what appeared to be black accents. No windows were visible. The craft seemed to be at the altitude that general aviation aircraft fly. It had no wings, horizontal or vertical stabilizers. It maintained a straight line motion (no turns) from a south direction towards the north. We could not determine the speed of the aircraft. We were driving north on Hiatus Road and the craft was to the west/southwest of our car. By the time we cleared some trees that temporarily blocked our view, the craft had disappeared. The weather was clear, bright sunny day.

Pioneertown (near), CA
Two of us were hiking at Pipes Canyon. Neither saw anything unusual at all. Upon reviewing the photographs I made I discovered the image which I am forwarding. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Ha! My camera must be set incorrectly. Sorry about that, it was this past Saturday, the second. Sorry about that! ((END ADDENDUM)) We have looked at the photo submitted by the witness, and we see nothing noteworthy in it. Date is flawed. PD

Asheville, NC
Unidentified object spotted driving East on I-26 just south of Asheville, NC. Object appeared to be moving at the speed of a large low flying plane and was cigar shaped. I was traveling near the Asheville airport, so I thought it was only a low flying plane at a distance of approximately 3 miles; however it seemed rather odd shaped for a plane so I continued to glance up at the object while driving. The last time I looked up at the object it appeared to take a sharp turn south and gave off a bright silver flash of light and disappeared. It was bright enough that it made me close my eyes for just a split second, then look back only to find the object no where in sight. I watched the area that the flash came from for about 30 second, thinking I would see the object flying off. The object had disappeared.

Clarksville, TN
Went outside to my car to retrieve something when I noticed three bright lights above me. I watched the lights cross cross one another. I returned upstairs on my back porch and watched the lights fly around for about ten minutes. It was partly cloudy so when the craft broke through the clouds I saw the shape of the craft before it took off at a alarming speed. All crafts were silent and moving all around the wooded area around my house for a total of 15 minutes then they took off in the night sky. (Event as recorded for a few minutes)

Jackson, MS
I was on my way home from a class, and I noticed a large object just north of Countyline Road. Initially, I thought it was an airplane with its headlights on as it turned towards me. However, it turned towards I-55 and hovered just over the trees/buildings off of the interstate. If I had been closer to the airport, I may not have paid it much attention, but I was miles from the airport for the plane to be that low. I was able to get it on my dash cam and cell phone.

Hi, my wife and I have withnessed over 100+ unknown aircraft all flying from the south toward north and North East within the past 2 hours. They all have a bright golden yellow color and red color light and they all move 10 times faster than any aircraft Ive ever seen. Then some will hover in the same spot for about 15-20 mins then instantly Fly away at a super fast speed. They do not have any sound from them at all. I wish I knew what was going on here. We figure it's maybe the Government Sending out some sort of Aireal drones for some reason. Due south about 35 miles is Dobbins Military Air Force base.

Seattle, WA
My partner at the time and I were walking home with our dog after taking her out to go to the bathroom before heading to bed. We lived in an apartment by the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA. We were facing SW, towards the direction of the ocean. At first I thought I was seeing a biplane with no lights on flying way too close to the city - but it made no sound. I opened my mouth and pointed at it to my partner and as I did so it began moving in a way that didn’t make sense if it were a biplane. I remember asking what the heck is this at that point. Silent and mirror-like. The color of the craft was so stealth it was as if it reflected the night sky around it. You could almost say like it moved as if it was not even in the same night sky. It was just so quiet for how big it was and as much as it was definitely there it was also very difficult to really “see” it. However I also think that could be an effect from the perceptual dissonance of seeing such a huge flying craft so close with an utter lack of sound. I’d never seen anything like this. Complete mindf***. My partner quickly saw it as well. We had very much an “oh s***” moment as it came from what looked like over the ocean, maybe 500ft in the air, crossed half a mile NE and dropped down to a stop about 100ft above us. Me, my partner and even my dog were staring at this thing for possibly 10-15 seconds as it stopped and slowly rotated like a football being spun on the ground. Then just as soon as we were able to register what was happening and that something phenomenally out of the ordinary was above us, it began to raise in altitude and as fast as it started - it was over. Couldn’t have taken more than 3 seconds to completely disappear into the night sky.

Winter Springs, FL
At 8:30 this morning at my house, something caught my eye in the sky to the East. It is difficult to estimate the height and location of the object, but I estimate it was centered over Winter Springs, Florida at a height that was a little higher than you would typically see a helicopter. The object was likely Frisbee shaped, but I believe I was just seeing it from the side which I would describe as Cigar shaped. My first thought was that it was a drone, but it was moving too quickly and effortlessly. It went from the original location to the left and hovered, then to the right and hovered, and then up higher to hover. The changes in location were split second, not gradual changes. The object seemed to be lit up with a white light that covered its entire shape. Based on how white the light was and that it didn’t seem like a glare, my guess is that it was a light coming from the object and not the sun’s reflection. I was able to track the minor movemen! ts for about a minute before the object proceeded East at a speed that disappeared from view within a moment. It is a sunny day here with some clouds in the sky, but no weather conditions can explain what I saw. This is my first time in seeing something like this, and I want to know if anyone else has seen this object in my area.

And astonishingly went out of sight in about a half second, speeding up, then vanishing... after dissipating, flocks of countless birds flew away from event.

San Antonio, FL
At approximately 7:15pm EST on January 22th, 2017, San Antonio, Fl. I looked out my front window at the oncoming storm and saw a strange object come out of the darkness above and travel directly across the sky extremely fast and disappear into the darkness (like a portal opened and closed on both ends of its journey). This wasn't falling from the sky and wasn't on fire nor did it have a tail like a meteor typically would. I don’t think it was a shooting star or lightning. The object was a thin cigar shape and a bright white or a silver white glowing light and moved in a seemingly straight horizontal path. It happened so quickly I did not have a chance to photograph it. Because of the fast speed it traveled I don’t believe it was a plane, I have no idea what it was and wondered if anyone else saw it.

One craft with two bright lights. Seemed to hover in one area until it finally shot straight up a disappeared from sight. Thought it could of been a drone or helicopter by the way it was behaving until it went straight up a faster then any craft I could imagine.

Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
I thought to share my first UFO sighting today- Jan.1, 2017, @ 2:02 pm est I went outside at home in Oshawa, Ontario, to have a smoke on my deck facing west Camera ready in my pocket due to 'very ' clear sky displayed Felt to capture a UFO After a few minutes noticed quarter mile away- directly west over Whitby, Ontario. A very high near stationary brilliant shimmering white longish object It was NOT round - more oblong Without the shimmering light It would be hard to see due to very high altitude After about thirty seconds I pulled out my camera and started to film it It moved very slow and moved towards my house - Having this on and off shimmering effect Quite high to zoom in on with my camera I took in total forty pictures - zoom on /off After four minutes into the sighting It came directly over my position as I continued to film it Heading once over, traveling slightly southeast pass the roof Heading eastward slightly south over Oshawa Attached are thirteen pictures that were successful in capturing this unknown object I lost visual once passing over the roof. Last picture taken time was at stamp 2:08 pm The sighting last about six minutes - as at times looked stationary Enjoy the photographic evidence including enhancements Photos indicate tiny, blurry specks in the sky. We are unable to verify that the specks are authentic alien spacecraft. PD

Placida, FL
Six adults in our fifties, three men, three women, all saw a glowing orange cigar shaped object moving steadily in a straight line, parallel to the ground, from south to north. We were standing on my west facing, second story level lanai. It was level with us, around 100 yards away, 10 to 20 feet long and 5 to 10 feet tall/wide. It was totally silent, and suddenly blinked out/disappeared as it was approaching the north edge of our sight line.

Jackson, TN
I was at work at scrap yard at Jackson Tennessee. We had two garbage trucks from Waste Management that we were taking the garbage compartment off of the back of the truck to cut up and process for scrap. We had finished the first one and were walking to the second one, when what at first I thought was a row of ducks or geese caught my eye. I thought that I had never seen birds flying that high before. Then I noticed they werent birds but lights that were wagging up and down or in a circle pattern. There were twelve or fourteen of them in a single line and they kind of faded out from view then reappeared. There were three other people with me and I pointed up and hollered HEY! LOOK!. I could tell they were all attached to something but I could not tell what the shape of it was but it was as big as a couple of train rail cars. As i was pointing at it, it faded from view again, and I didn't see it again.

Virginia Beach (City of), VA
At approximately, 8:41PM on December 10, 2016, I exited my car to enter my house in Virginia Beach, VA. I was facing east and I saw something moving across the sky in a south by southwest direction, so it was moving from my left to my right at an angle from in front of me to behind me. It stopped me in my tracks because I had never seen anything like it in the sky before. The object appeared to be the size and shape of a Tylenol extra strength tablet. It had lights on the front and back. The lights appeared to be fluttering like in a haze. The object appeared to be gliding across the sky at a pretty high speed, and there was no noise that I could hear. It took me a few seconds to compute what I was looking at, and I was able to rule out many explanations in my mind. It was not an airlines jet, it was to big in the sky and no airport in that direction. I thought maybe it was a helicopter behind the clouds, but a quick look around and I could see many stars and constellations, so I quickly ruled out cloud cover. The absence of noise also helped me rule out a helicopter, as well as a military jet, which do fly in our area but are very noisy. The lights were not flashing like the normal air traffic in the sky. The lights were dull and hazy like they were fluttering. I then got my cellphone out to video. While trying to keep my eyes on the quick moving target I also tried to zoom. By the time I got the camera on the object, it was far off to my right and I only was able to film the back side of the object. The entire event was less than 1 minute about 10 seconds for me to process and decide to video and the 31 seconds of footage. I had just returned from dinner with my mother. I had not been drinking and was not under the influence of any narcotics. After the event, I went into my house and called my mother, then my sister, then my son to tell them what I had seen.
