A rectangle shape appeared above Blake Island. Very large and dull grey in color. It moved slowly over the island then preceded to slowly disappear. 2 very small red orbs became visible after larger one vanished. They moved quickly darting about like sparks from a firework then they also vanished. The larger grey "vehicle" was enormous. 3 to 4 times bigger than our largest aircraft carries. The sound it made was very low in tone. I could feel it better than I could hear it. ultra low frequency?

I was in the car with my 10 year old daughter. We were heading out to go shopping for a Halloween costume. The sun was just beginning to set, when we came to a red light, in the residential section of Fairless Hill. As we sat at the red light, a rectangular object flew just above the tree tops, to the right side of our car. The craft did not seem to make any noise. It was long, and dark gray in color. The underneath was completely covered by two, side-by-side rows of about 10 round, white lights. The lights reminded me of spotlights. I'm not very good at guessing the length or distance of objects, but my best guess would be that it was about 80-100 feet in length, and about 30-40 feet in width. It was so close to us that we really couldn't tell how tall it was. We mostly got a view of the underside. As it began to move away from us, it didn't seem to appear to have much height to it at all. The craft moved at a moderately fast pace, and disappeared behind the tree line across the street very quickly. My daughter and I both looked up and pointed to the object at the same time, and it was gone that quickly. The traffic light turned green almost immediately, and we traveled in the direction that we saw it disappear behind the trees. By the time we reached a clearing in the tree line (probably about 100 feet away from the light we were previously at), the craft was so far away that it could only be seen along the distant horizon. Neither of us could figure out how it could have traveled what looked like several miles, in less than a minute. Though it was almost out of sight at that point, we were still able to make out it's shape and lights, even from that distance.

I saw it on my way home from ossining, I was driving on the taconic parkway from Ossining to white. What I saw had a rectangular shape no wings and it was turning around going in an opposite direction than mine. I believe it was huge I can't say how many feet long but it was to my knowledge at lest 6 times bigger than a plane. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Edmonds/Shoreline, WA
At about 22:15 at night, on Saturday, September 27, 2014, my daughter looked up in the sky while she was getting into our car. Not high enough to be an airplane, but almost like at the height a model airplane would fly. 7 or 8 rounded rectangular shaped objects, with an orange glowing light at their center, were flying in a single line but staggered, formation. The horizontal flight path was going north to south, from the very southernmost and easternmost part of Edmonds southbound—southbound along Shoreline, just west of Interstate 5—through Shoreline. They were lit up with a big orange glow in the center. We were thinking that maybe they were a cluster of drones or lanterns. However, have never seen either in person so really unable to compare to anything. They didn’t make any distinguishing types of noises—like an airplane or helicopter… or any loud noise for that matter. The noise I did hear, was a very soft, hum/whistle that maybe a sophisticated, high tech, model airplane--engineered specifically for low noise. We lost sight of them as they headed down past Shoreline. By the time we called out a houseguest and my son to come witness these items, only two were visible for them to see as they were above Shoreline (central) along and above the I-5 corridor. This is most likely what I saw--at night--but the shape of it is how it is depicted in this photo:http://www.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/AFAEED3C-749A-42C1-8E796C8B74E8C45B_article.jpg?8BC4B

Collinsville, IL
Was driving north on 157 when I noticed a bright light which I first thought was a C-5 that normally fly over to Scott Air Force Base some 15 miles to our east. As I got closer the light increased in intensity. Due to the low altitude I figured it had to be a police helicopter so I slowed down. As I drove under it it was banking to the east towards the tree line of the bluffs. What I briefly saw in about 3 seconds was a rectangular shaped object moving slowly with no apparent sound. The size was like holding a envelope at arm's length. Would estimate height at less than 300 feet. It was huge! When it banked, the bright lights I first saw faded, and I could make out some faint but sharp led type of lighting on the perimeters and within object. I turned around a sped south to see if I could spot it where the bluff are lower to east but had no luck. It almost looked like a flying super modern penthouse if that doesnt sound crazy. Not sure I saw all of it due to the lighting. Someone else had to have seen it. Incredible!!!

I observed a rectangle shaped UFO moving at a very high rate of speed and sending out bright white propulsion as it traveled. The UFO seemed to be larger than an aircraft as I noticed that as it flew under a cloud. My camera was aimed at 90 degrees upward..straight up in the sky when the UFO was recorded. The UFO itself was dark in color.

Last night I was on my way to Kanawha State Forest to see the enjoy the twilight hours during this break of cooler weather. On the way I noticed a very bright white flashing in the sky. It was like lightening but only in a small area. As I got closer I was looking for a break in the trees to get a glimpse. Finally, I saw it twice it was flashing 4 large lights along a rectangle shape. They flashed all at the same time and were fairly large. If I had to guess I would say it was only about 200 yards into the sky. I rolled the window down in hopes to hear something but with the sound of the air coming through the window I couldn't make out any sounds. I have never seen a UFO before and only recently began thinking about them so it seems so impossibly coincidental I would see one but I have spent all day trying to think of anything else it could be and can come up with no answers. Also, the lights were not moving. I found this site hoping someone else would have ! seen it. I plan to return to the road same time next week in hopes of seeing the same thing to help figure out what it was but don't suspect I will see anything. I wish I could have got a picture but I was driving on a curvy road at night I couldn't just stop because I saw lights in the sky.

Peabody, MA
For the past two weeks, me and my family have seen a square object blinking blue and red in the sky. The object does not move at all, but seems to get closer to us each night. It appears to be a satellite but cannot be sure. We could make the shape of the object with binoculars, so I know it's not a star. Has anyone else seen this? From West Peabody, it looks like the object is over the Lawrence area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

One glowing orange (seemingly) rectangular sort of shape moving steadily as a plane would, from north to south across a clear evening sky. Constant orange glow, no flashing lights, or change of color. Once overhead,(12:00) the glowing disappeared at around the 2:00 mark. No sound could be heard. My wife and granddaughter returned from the store, and had been watching it while driving home. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Watched as a point source light advanced from west to near vertical position above me. There were a few scattered wisps of cloud that didn't block the light from shining through. As I watched, the light seemed to fall back every few blinks. I studied it closer and saw what appeared to be six lights marking a rectangular shape, 3 brilliant red, elongated lights per side. The lights blinked in a pattern of forward most, middle, then furthest, first one side then the other and repeated.

So we were standing in our back yard my mother and brother point to what they thought was a meteor.. The object began to get closer and closer and we realized it was not a meteor. As the object came right over our home there was nooooo sound and it had four corners with lights underneath the craft. It was moving very quickly!! What I didn't understand is when it was flying over is it wasn't bright as it was when it was in the distance!!!

Cobleskill, NY
I remember in 2014, I didn’t have a phone to take a picture of what I saw but I was in the car as a passenger on I-88 towards Cobleskill, NY. Near the mountains by Howe Caverns, in the sky, there was a rectangular giant object, either a dark grey or black color, way bigger than an airplane just hovering in the sky. We were stopped because of traffic and it would not move, and definitely was floating. I tried researching to find if UFO’s were shaped rectangular and couldn’t find anything at the time but just found this article of so many encounters with a rectangular UFO in the sky, in upstate NY around the exact same week I saw it.

Saw one while going through a neighborhood on way to taking kids out, didn't hear anything but something told me to look up. Just as I did there was a slow low moving ufo the size of a RV coming over a house and tree. It was moving very very slow. It was maybe a foot or two from touching the top of the tree. I screamed look and everyone looked out the window. It had a pure solid gold bottom the rest was like a black onyx looking material, it had green red and white lights that flashed in a sequenced pattern. It faded away. This is the second ufo I've seen within a year, First one is the Thanksgiving before, We walked outside, something said look up. Right when I did a neon blue dot streaked across sky stopped long enough for us to see then darted off.

I submitted something earlier, but typed up more details, since doing some internet research, and now understanding that this is a very REAL thing that people actually know about! August 30, 2014. At about 4:15 a.m. sighting I usually wake up once in the wee hours of the mornin, and ritualistically, I then go to the kitchen to get a “swig” of orange juice. I had just done that and was going to go back to bed, but remembered that the gated parking garage, adjacent to the short “high-rise” condo complex that I live in, was not gated for the past two days. Since I have a vehicle in that lot, and the vehicle is exposed to the street, I decided to take a look out of my living room window, which overlooks the parking lot, to check on my truck. I had been a little worried about the truck overnight, because we have a ton of auto burglaries on our street, and in general, a lot of scuzzy people walking around up to no good late at night, early a.m. In order to get a good look at the parking lot, I had to lie down (on my belly), on my carpet. We have a large window but the shade is always drawn, so I decided to lie down and look out the window. Truck was fine and I didn’t see anyone around but I noticed some lights on in a dilapidated building kitty corner to ours. Since I wasn’t feeling sleepy, I went and got my binoculars and took a look. I was checking out the dilapidated building when it happened. I THINK I heard the low hum first. The rest, I am absolutely 100% sure about. I looked to my left, and a GIANT rectangular, flat, object was “floating” slowly in my direction from up high – gliding long side up, and then closer and closer. It sort of “twisted” slowly, which was a movement that I found incredulous for any manmade air craft. It made no sense. It then hovered for a time (maybe 2 minutes?) and it was “facing” me at a diagonal/slanted angle. There was a white light (not blinking) on each corner of the craft. In the first moments of seeing this thing, my brain was trying to categorize it as an airplane or some kind of military jet and I couldn’t understand why there were only white lights as I know that our aircraft use colored lights to indicate port side or starboard. Then the shape of the object was clear to me. It was SO CLOSE and SO LOW. And since it hovered for what seemed like a long time, I had a long time to look at it. But even so, I feel fuz! zy about what it really looked like with specific details. I know that at the moment I realized it was absolutely a UFO, I was in absolute shock at what I was witnessing. Then, it put itself on a more horizontal level, and glided up, and headed in a northern direction. I live in a part of the city that has heavy construction so I speculate that the craft was interested in all of the construction going on, but I also assume it knew I was watching it. My husband was sleeping in the other room. I didn’t call out for him because I didn’t want to disturb what was happening by making a huge commotion, and even though I wished so badly I could go grab my camera I didn’t want to miss a moment of what I was seeing. Weather: it was very, very dark out (for an urban city). Our street actually is not very well lit, which is unusual for the neighborhood. The sky was dark, but I could tell it was clear overhead and I could see off on the northern horizon that there was a heavy band of low fog. That was the direction the craft took off for. I could NOT believe what I was seeing. To say the experience was shocking is an understatement. Conditions: practically pitch black with some city lights.

Snellville, GA
I was getting food at Del Taco’s drive through in Snellville, when I heard a loud noise overhead that I thought was a large helicopter (or maybe more than one helicopter as it was so loud). Driving off, I decided to stop in the adjacent parking lot so I could watch the helicopter. Got out of my car to look up into the sky (it was dark as it was almost 10 pm) and what I saw made my jaw drop! It was a very large aircraft – probably the size of a football field (or at least half of one!) – Definitely rectangular in shape, dark – probably black. It had an orange blinking light at the center of the base of it and a few other lights around it. It moved very, very slowly. In the distance, I could see it turn to the left, almost hovering as it did so. I thought it might have been military, but in case it is not. I wanted to report it in case anyone else saw it. Anyone out that night would have seen and heard this monstrosity in the sky! I thought it was the StarShip Enterprise, only it was of a black, rectangular shape – no wings or anything else protruding at all. Very, very eerie!

Hyden, KY
We were outside, just chatting when we heard this humming sound like a slow buzz but very deep tone and loud and 3 rectangular objects moved through the sky. They were almost like airplanes in the rear and in front a really well illuminated grey like giant wing shape in front of the blinking lights with no light on it at all other than you could see it as if it were day. The humming continued until these massive objects had been out of view for several moments. Was very odd as I don't believe in little green people but I am in awe as well as the other two people I was with about what it could have been that we just witnessed moving across the sky. A neighborhood of dogs that normally would be barking all night long over nothing was erie silent. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

San Francisco, CA
August 28th 2014 – Approximately from 7:45pm – 8:00pm. This evening, as I was leaving my house in the outer Parkside district of San Francisco, (I live on 44th Avenue), I noticed an object in the sky westward with flashing sequencial Red Lights. The Fog had already began to cover most of my view of the sky, which means I would not be able to see any stars tonight. However, Commercial Planes coming from and leaving San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose would still be visible by their flashing navigation lights upon departure and approach to their respective airports. This was not one of them. My neighbor also noticed the object and we both attempted to try and figure out what it might be. The object remained fairly stationary for about 15 minutes. Occasionaly it would appear to drift to the right, then to the left, and then return back to its original position. Both my neighbor and I suggested that it might be someones toy drone that they were flying above the Fog (I would estimate that it would have been at least 5 to 15 feet across to account for the number of lights on the object). With that said, I still can not ruled out that I was looking at something else, not man-made. After watching it for 15 minutes the object began to move westward towards the Pacific Ocean while also drifting northward and southward in a pattern similar to a sign wave. After It moved far enough away, I lost sight of it due to the roof of my neighbor's house across the street from my house. Red Light Sequence: <--------------*-> Ooooooooooooooo.oo ^ All Red lights except for the Right most light would sometimes appear to be blue, white, or green in random order.

My son and his friends were outside last night - which was a clear and cloudless night sky when two bright lights flashed in the sky. It was extremely bright and flashed orange and green (another friend said orange and blue). They described it as being as close as the top floor on a twenty to thirty floor building and each light being about the size of a two car garage door. It was bright enough to lite up the sky. At least our neighborhood it flashed twice and went away.

I was simply Marveling at this technology as these lights had lumins/intensity of traffic signals but emitted no glare, aura, did not radiate downward or illuminate the craft at all. Were not convex or concave but completely flat.. diffused light that had no bright spots, light was evenly emitted so as just one perfectly round flat, I thought landing lights. Strange that the road as far as I could see in front and behind me was completely empty with the exception of one car behind me about 2 car lengths. As it got close I was leaning forward on the steering wheel looking almost straight up at the underneath of the vehicle. Could only see a giant rectangle. Could see no outline of an object, plane, helicopter. Seemed to be only couple hundred feet above me. The one thought I was having is that this couldn’t be a plane, the rectangle way too wide for a fuselage of a plane. At that point it turned clockwise 280 degrees and made a right turn as I am looking at it in 0.5 seconds. If one was to count out loud “one thousand one”, being one second. The object spun on an axis completely around by the time you get; one thous out of your mouth. “And one” the second half of the word, the object had moved right turn 90 degrees and never changed or altered acceleration. 92 degrees actually. By this time the object would be passing over top of my truck and I had to look thru the moon roof. Where I could see it was actually traveling at a slight different angle now that I had a 3rd reference point, my truck roof. Making a maneuver of 270 degrees plus, there was forward momentum to take into account. When looking skyward seeing only dark and a rectangle I saw a perfect right turn , but looking thru the moonroof it had turned right but was still sliding a bit forward at the same time, thus explaining the slightly more than a 90 degree turn it made would compensate for the forward momentum after a few seconds, and put it exactly on course. What was the rear of the vehicle, is now the front of the vehicle headed to my! right at 90 degrees. So it's like polarity in the propulsion system had been switched simultaneously. Of course at this point my mind going into Shock was thinking only one thing. What did I just see? This is certainly not possible,, could this have been a helicopter. A helicopter could have easily fit inside this rectangle and couldn’t do a maneuver that quick that precise even if it were hovering. It made no sound at all, seemed to be about 300 ft high and must have been cloaked to imitate the sky color as I never was able to make out any object or shape other than a crystal clear rectangle of spectacular lights. Always dreamed of being lucky enough to see a flying saucer or something. Never in my wildest dreams thought I would see something like this practically in my face. The figure was exact shape of a football field. I could fit my house and garage inside its length. I figure the object was 80 to 150 ft long and 40 or 60 ft wide. This is a shortened version of what I saw and the calculations. Would love to talk to someone futher about this incident. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
