Omaha, NE
It was sometime around 11 at night, maybe early 12, and me and a group of four friends were heading through Omaha, Nebraska. We were in the suburbs, close to downtown but not in it, but I could see over the houses into the big city area. There was an oval/rectangle shaped craft in the sky, with two lights on the sides of it, but that was it for lights. I thought at first it was an airplane, but after a few moments of staring at it I realized it couldn't have been. It was hovering around the tops of the buildings, and was staying pretty still. I watched it for a few moments, before we passed by a treeline, and I lost sight of it. When we re-emerged, the craft was gone.

So, we stare and under neither the blue slowly flashing light that mind you was not going in a sequence was what looked like shimmering thing of mist and different blue light all in the sky and it 7am. We just stared in disbelieve, it looked as if it was transitioning from night to cloaking itself. I turned my head and it disappeared.

Light by light, it disappeared as we got closer and was gone by the time we drove by. We were driving when I saw a bunch of bright red lights hovering over a building, they formed a huge oval that was slightly tilted. It only lasted about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Warsaw, IN
First I saw a bright cloud circling my home repeatedly. I noticed through very tiny lining of my closed window blinds. I informed my wife. She also saw and we were frightened. Then we came to the living room and opened the window blinds. From there, it was very clear. We saw a bright oval shaped cloud circling my apartment in very definite pattern and speed. We saw it for few minutes and could not dare to go out. Then we came back to the bed room and from here also we could see this thing for few minutes. It was so frightening that I could not have an idea to take my phone and capture this event. After approximately 15 minutes of circling, it vanished. We did not hear any sound.

Baltimore Highlands, MD
Driving home from work at around 7:45-8pm, saw three roundish objects in the sky. They were orangish in color. At first thought it could be those lanterns people light and send up into the air, but these things did not move. Two were closer together and one was by itself, but they were all in the same vicinity of each other. I could not get a picture since I was driving. They were hovering over I-295 S, just after you come off of the ramp from I-895 S. I never saw them before that night and I haven’t seen them after.

Cape Coral, FL
UFO over South West Florida? @ 2:55am EST On October 12, 2018, I observed a flying object, light blue in color encompassed in a halo roughly a quarter of the size as the object but the color was a light blue but almost white in appearance. It was headed 60 degrees NE “rapidly”. Bright enough where I could feel my pupils dilate like a bright flash hit my eyes. The weirdest thing is that the object just didn’t seem bright enough to cause the effect it had on my eyes. Whatever it was, the object was muffled by the cloudy overcast night. The object seemed to be circular in shape with a equally sized tail. The front portion had a glow about half the size as the tail, shaped the same way as the tail yet, not as bright. The object faded in and I observed it for approximately 6-8 seconds when it just as quietly and quickly as it appeared, it slowly faded out. I desperately looked for a continuation of the sighting however, watching the path I observed it in, it never reappeared, not a glow or anything. ((name deleted))

Verdigre, NE
Bright, oval-shaped light. Seemed like a dark shading across horizontal center. Southern sky. 90° from southern horizon. Est 1/8" by 1/4". ? Distance. Non-moving. Didn't think at the time, then later-wait! That was impossible! So don't know how long. Gone 20 min later. Possible sighting of Mars?? PD

Eighty Four, PA
I was driving with my husband in the passenger seat and my mother in law in the back seat. I noticed out of the corner of my eye an object in the sky. I got everyones attention and we all looked while driving down the road. I was driving so I couldn't look for long so my husband probably got the best veiw of it. I noticed one at first. It was all white. It had no flashing lights or any other colors. At first it looked stationary but the longer we looked we could tell it was slowly moving. After looking for a couple minutes I noticed an airplane directly above us and with that we compared the speed of the airplane to the unknown objects to verify our sighting. When we were about 2 minutes from our house, I spotted another one, this could be a second object or it could be the same one from before. This object we watched go behind this big black cloud and we spotted another one in unison with the one that disappeared into the clouds. I've never witnessed anything like this in my life so that's how I knew it was strange and out of the ordinary.

Detroit, MI
Strange oval object in the sky, September 22, 2018 over Detroit, MI. I made a turn on a street in Grosse Pointe bordering the city limits of Detroit. As I turn right, I see the beautiful sky with pink clouds on my left. I snapped a picture of the clouds and didn’t think more of it. I looked at the picture again a day later and saw a strange oval object through an opening of the clouds. If it was closer to the ground, I would guess the Goodyear Blimp. But I’ve seen blimps flying before and this is too high for them to fly. It also doesn’t look like an airplane with the vapor trails. I’ve just never seen this before. It’s like a silver metal elongated “bullet” way up in the sky.

Date indicated by source of report is flawed, and we have no means of contacting the witness, who elects to remain anonymous, and who provides no contact information. We have assigned an arbitrary date, which is our best guess. PD

Le 20 septembre 2018 vers 21h00 un témoin au volant de son véhicule observe un PAN rectangulaire ou ovale avec des lumières clignotantes de couleur rouge et jaune. L'objet semble faire du sur place au-dessus de la forêt de Cinqueux (60). Poursuivant sa route, elle revient sur place 45mn plus tard mais le PAN a disparu. Le témoin a fait une déposition succincte en gendarmerie complétée ensuite par un questionnaire rempli partiellement par la gendarmerie. Le témoin a été contacté pour compléter le questionnaire mais aucune réponse n'a été reçue. Un seul témoignage est recueilli sur ce phénomène. L'enquête de Gendarmerie indiquant que les lumières mentionnées par le témoin peuvent ressembler aux balises d’un aéronef, c’est cette piste qui a été explorée. La base aérienne de Creil sollicitée a indiqué n’avoir eu aucun vol sur cette période. Un survol de drone était prévu à Verneuil-en-Halatte, mais le pilote a signalé que ce vol avait été annulé. La société ABC hélico qui était autorisée à effectuer des vols à basses altitudes dans le secteur a indiqué qu’aucun vol n’avait été effectué le jour mentionné par le témoin. Donc les hypothèses aéronef militaire, drone, hélicoptère ne sont pas validées. Par contre, trois aéronefs civils sont passés dans ce secteur aux heures mentionnées : - AF1565 F-GKXS Birmingham-Roissy - BA2625 G-DBCH Nice/Londres - IBK2906 EI-FJP Londres/Copenhague. Il est donc fort probable que le témoin ait fait une méprise avec un aéronef. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en "B" : méprise probable avec un aéronef. [GEIPAN classification B — Avion de ligne]

We saw 4 bright oval lights in the sky in a straight row and then they flew around and moved in different formations. They then changed colors and had a light display. Then went back to 5 very bright lights in a row just sitting there. After the sighting my daughter and I feel very weird and light.

St Charles, IL
AT 9:45 p.m., I was out in my yard with my 2 dogs. I live in a wooded area on the top of a valley. At first I saw an orange light through the trees. I didn’t think much about it until it broke the tree line. Roughly 250 ft in the air and traveling around 75 mph, a large orange sphere appeared. It had appeared almost liquid in appearance, luminance. It was large. Around the size of a huge SUV. And silent. It had passed directly overhead. I could see a smaller dark orange circle moving around inside the larger orange circle. It traveled about ½ mile further and just blinked out. The sky was crystal clear with no wind. No reaction from my dogs. And I was oddly calm for seeing my first U.F.O. I did get a feeling that it was not mechanical… but rather alive in a sense. Imagine the feeling you may get watching whales swim on a nature program.

Tell City, IN
Three of us were star gazing into the night sky after seeing several shooting stars. While we were looking into the sky a solid black oval shaped object moved from west to east across the night sky. There were no lights. This object blocked out the light in the nights sky. This object was very large and moved at an extreme speed. The entire event lasted less than 10 seconds. Left all three of us speechless. There was no sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two shiny, medal ovals were stationary in the sky for about 30 minutes. I watched until the sun went down and was able to tell they were medal as they reflected the sunset. They sat in the same place until it was dark then appeared to get smaller and faded away.

Harwinton, CT
Was seen while driving down Rt. 4 towards Litchfield, from Burlington. Very, very bright light that looked like it was falling to earth. Once we got closer, it stopped and hovered. We noticed 2 small lights on either side that were also very bright. All were white. Looked to be an oval/saucer shape. It then went in the opposite direction in a way that a plane simply could not maneuver. Was too large to be a drone and was not the shape of a helicopter. After we dropped off a friend and went back the same way we had come, it was nowhere to be found.

Las Cruces, NM
On August 22nd, I took a flight from Austin to San Diego and we were on Las Cruces, New Mexico, the pilot told us to put on our seat belt because we are going to hit bad weather. So, I took out my phone to take some pictures of the storm. When I looked out the window I noticed a bright light in distance so I took a picture of it. Then I notice it was moving weird. So I started filming it and then it disappeared and we never hit bad weather. I think the pilot saw what I saw that's why he told us to buckle up. After the flight, I asked to talk to the pilot and they got him for me. I showed him my pictures and video and ask him this is what I saw when he told us to buckle up. His reply this is Venus then I said Venus just doesn't disappear. Then the pilot replied sometimes you see strange things in the sky. I was on Southwest flight 1728 on 8/22/18. Have have pictures and video of this incident. I posted this incident on my Instagram account @((address deleted)).
