Virginia Beach, VA
Moving southwest to northeast in a straight line I was surprised to see what appeared to be a bright red rectangular shaped object with a bright white light in the middle. The shape was something like a sport skydiver might use, except this rectangular object was moving lengthwise. I know it wasn't a helicopter (saw & heard the police chopper flying earlier before & after the fireworks show), it didn't look like a plane and I never heard any sounds. I moved to the front yard to get a longer view of it and saw my neighbor (retired military, worked on helicopters) so I called him over to look at it. He was as surprised and puzzled as I was. He didn't hear anything and saw the same rectangular shape and colors as it was moving away from us. The object eventually grew dim and disappeared from out sight, the entire episode lasting 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. I checked the ISS schedule, but knew I wouldn't find it listed as flying by. I've seen the ISS before & this object was larger/lower in the sky and I could make out a shape vs. the ISS's large all white light image.

Port Orchard, WA
On the night of July 4th while on the back deck of our family home next to Wal-Mart in Port Orchard, a bright light caught my eye through the Douglas Fir trees. The bright light was yellow, like a fire, with a brown or amber color in the center. It was shaped like an apple. The light had no source meaning it seemed to be glowing. I made a split decision to get my camera. I was able to get a photo but as it headed southerly its light lessened and the photo didn't really come out. I have a photo if you want me to send it? This is exactly the same UFO I saw back in early June. It was located about 2-5 miles east of our home, altitude 2,500 to 5,000 agl. Its speed was similiar to a airliner on downwind. Like my other sighting there was no normal lights like position lights, anti-collision lights, etc. As it turned south, the light diminished.

My sister and I witnessed 7 orbs traveling in a defined arc orbit overhead on 7/4/14. They were approx 10,000 ft high and were sighted in groups of 2-1-2-2 floating by headed southeast. Friends later told me they had sighted similar glowing shapes at Carolina Beach by midnight.

Kelso, WA
On the fourth of July 2014 I was home trying to keep my dogs quiet as they hate the noise when a huge explosion made them bark so I went to see where it came from and went to the dining room to look out the two big windows and I see this glowing red light coming directly toward me from the west, it just kept getting bigger and brighter and closer. What I could see was it looked like a glowing read and orange lantern, turned sideways and that's the best that I can describe it and I kept saying what is that? There was no sound I felt like it knew I was watching it and when it got close to going over the house I ran to grab my cell phone to take a picture and ran out the back door figuring as slow as it was moving Id get a good picture. When I looked up it had turn at a 90 degree angle and was shooting straight up! I took several pictures but it was small by then, but I di get a picture of a perfect donut shaped exhaust it left. After this my son called and wan! ted me to pick him up from a place he was watching the firework display in Longview Wa and when I did and was telling him about my experience we saw another one with the same glowing, red lantern look and it was just hovering there like it was hanging in a tree, I told my son to hurry and take a picture with his phone and by the time he got it out and took a picture, it did the same thing and flattened out to like a cigar shape but he got that picture too as it was small at that time though.

Clearwater, FL
Traveling north, Clearwater Largo Rd. Strate up about 75 dagrees, a passenger/cargo twin jet going east was shadowed by a funky flat gray rectangle. The Long length 12 to 6 and covering from the back starboard wing to the front of the tail. The plane looked about 4 inches in length, the gray craft about an inch and a half 12-6 and six eights of an inch 9 to 3 o'clock. It had 5 lines top to bottom and a circle in the middle. Just want to know if it was reported buy any one else .

Golden glowing aircraft with Gold/orange transparent ball on tail end. Flew slowly about 300 feet in the air with no noise what so ever. I could not focus on it. I have great vision and every time I tried to focus on it. It became more obscure. Less than 2 min later. A helicopter with a large (white) light flew the same path. The helicopter was really loud.

Piqua, OH
After a few minutes, I saw what I assumed would be an aircraft (Piqua is 35 miles north of Wright Patterson air force base) coming from the north. Then I noticed it's speed and thought it must be a meteor or comet - until it stopped directly overhead. The object was rectangular but not long. As I watched, a blue object emerged from the bottom of object and shot off to the north at the same speed as the "mother" came in. then,immediately after, an orange object emerged and sped off to the South.

Fairly quiet with 7-9 blue lights in the pattern of 2 triangles facing each other on the points. Rectangular..passed over my house in a rural area. Headed to the 13K ft peaks curved left towards Taos and disappeared out of sight. All in less than 90 seconds… We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite eloqent in his description of the event, and quite passionate about the dramatic nature of the sighting.

20 minutes after waking up and sitting on a sofa in our North facing sunroom, between the trees I saw an oblong shaped iridescent lime green light traveling West to East. 2-3 times it dropped what looked to be an orange spark off the rear. Lasted about 15 seconds.

Plymouth - Northville, MI
UFO while heading north on I-275, (Plymouth to Northville) it is flattened rhomboid shape that was matching our northbound speed, turning from time to time, on edge it was extremely thin relative to the broad side. It was light gray, totally devoid of any markings on broad side. It was not a blimp, not a balloon, not a helicopter, not a plane. This thing was at LEAST 200 ft to 300 ft long on all 4 sides and was just a little more than 1/2 mile away at the closest distance. In person, you could see the distinct shape with 4 sharp corners. Its shape was similar to a square with one side locked in place, and with the remaining sides pushed over maybe 10-20 degrees. When it rotated, edge-wise, it couldn't have been more than 10-20 feet thick (very rough approximation). Extremely unusual shape for anything in the air, sustained. It remained at same speed (55mph) 4:45p as traffic was moving from Ann Arbor Rd until 7 mile Rd on I-275, then took off north fast & disappeared over the horizon northbound. As we got closer it was extremely apparent it was nothing I’d ever seen or anything conventional and was at our 10 o’clock relative to travel north on the freeway, perhaps a half mile away. I took 5 photos to confirm it.

There was a bad thunderstorm, and we drove into town to take pictures of the clouds. Did not see anything but the clouds. Drove back home and downloaded all photos from cellphone on laptop. Laptop broke and did not fix until winter of 2016. Went through to delete old photos and found the image. As you can see, it is greenish, rectangle shape with some white lines that could indicate fast movement and there is a shadow going to the ground. I put the copyright on the photo, but please do not publicize my name. I would just like to know what it was.

Paris (Canada), ON · Canada
UFO sighting Paris Ontario, Canada. 14 June 2014, 10:45 pm, give or take 15 min. (approx time) straight line N to S. First I thought it was a flying lantern or sightseeing balloon (but it was a dark clear sky and I assume they don't fly at night) as it was bright orange and flickering. It at first seemed to be rising straight up from N of the town as I was facing N, then I realized it was high in sky approaching me (flew directly over the Fair grounds where I was camped). (Still possible it did rise straight up then gradually increase altitude as it approached me.) I think within a few seconds, it was a few thousand feet up, it gradually disappeared in size and brightness into the sky in the S at about a 20 degree angle from "straight above me" or about 70 degrees from the horizon if 90 degrees is straight up. Silent. About same speed as a jet airliner, or faster. Took less than a minute for whole sighting (est. did not time it) rectangular, length to width ratio not as long as a cell phone (a bit more square) orange, fuzzy edges, within it taking up about half or 40 percent of the total area was a fire or flame, aiming down but the flame was like looking directly at a jet plane exhaust or looking into the flaming nozzle of a gas fired device. (flickering edges) The centre of the orange flame was brighter, lighter color than orange. The edges with the flames were slightly more intense color than the rectangle background, more of an orange-red. see Photoshop image. I have exaggerated the yellow edges to try to indicate the flame, there were no such yellow lines in the UFO. The flaming star rotates around the rectangle clock-wise about every 1.5 to two seconds (without stopping.

I was browsing this list to see if anyone else had seen what me & my brother saw this same night. I have been trying to figure out this whole time what exactly this thing was & was so shocked to find that someone had actually reported this thing & saw it besides us. On this night, my brother left his house on one side of town (but on the side of town our home was located) going wherever he was going, when he phoned me to tell me about this incredible thing he was looking at as we speak. Some big square/rectangle like object just slowly cruising through the sky not far from the ground. I listened & payed him no mind really as he can be kind of goofy at times. But I did hear him out only because he sounded so ecstatic while telling me. Shortly after, I had to leave to go to my daughters house, (also on the same side of town as me) when I turned on one of the streets to get there, as I approached the bridge I noticed a big foreign object in the sky. Exactly the! description the person reported in this list, almost invisible but only because it blended into the night sky & I was only able to make out some strange rectangle like shape in an upright position just cruising on over the bridge right above me as I slowed to a crawl continuing underneath it. I watched this thing float over the bridge from right to left as I passed under it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It amazed me so that the only thing I could think to do was to call my brother as fast as I could & tell him what I had just witnessed. I only had a cheap flip phone at the time & was not able to catch a picture, plus I was driving, riding in my car, freaked out at the sight of it anyhow. Unfortunately, I was the only one on the road at the time. So no one else saw it on this back road on the outskirts of town. We reside in the county. All of us do. And it was dark. I phoned my husband immediately after, to tell him that I think I saw what my brother had just seen. And of course I told my daughter when I arrived at her house. ! I hate that I wasn't able to catch it on film but I did do a drawing of it as soon as I got home. I still have that sketch & have just been sitting on it since then because I honestly believed that no one else had seen this thing other than me & my brother. It did have huge black windows across (what I would believe to be) the front of it & only a few little flashing lights in various places along it. It was like a dark greyish color with a "boxy" type shape. Like a square nose, then a vertical rectangle like body with a triangle like top but off to one side. From my direction the triangle top would be off to the right top side. It was very strange. No sound at all. It made no noise. Just hovering but moving at the same time. Slowly. I watched it as long as I could while continuing to drive & trying frantically to make a phone call to my brother until it had gone off in the distance opposite to where I was going. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore. But this thin! g couldn't have been more than several hundred feet above the ground because with the bridge I was on, the thing wasn't more than 100 ft or so above me? Or so it seemed. It was huge & seemed to float right over me? But I'm not very good at measurements, so I can't say for sure. I have just been curious if anyone else had seen anything similar in or around our town. Then I found this site. Never knew it existed til today but I am relieved to find that someone else may have witnessed this thing also. Sorry for the long, drawn out story...I am just excited to be able to tell it again.

I heard a buzzing noise, so looked around for aircraft and saw a plane, and this square object the color of the sky almost invisible but it had 4 red lights in each corner at first 2 of the lights on the same side were blinking then only one blinked then there were just 2 red lights on one side and 4 yellow lights 2 in each corner. The object went faster than a plane and went in an octagonal path then after circling a few times flew away into a cloud. Source of report provides two illustrations, which are posted to the NUFORC homepage. PD

While working in the N.W myself and my work colleague noticed a rectangular object falling from the sky. It was spinning and tumbling as it fell. The object was reflective and appeared to be quite large because we could see it until it disappeared along the horizon. It was moving in a southern direction faster than it fell towards the ground.

I walked out on my front porch to feed my cats and looked up in the sky which would be to the north and saw what looked like 5 orange lights in a horizontal position. The lights were octagonal in shape and were blinking or [fading] on and off in no particular order. I stood there and watched it for about 2 minutes and suddenly the lights faded out, again in no particular order, and when the lights were gone I could not see what was behind them. The sun had just set below the horizon but there was still enough light to see the sky, there were no clouds and the visibility was clear. I backed up to get my binoculars just inside the door while still staring at the sky to make sure I didn't lose the position on where the lights had been. I grabbed the binoculars and could see nothing! I scanned the sky to look for planes or anything else that might be up there. I never saw what was behind the lights and never heard a plane, helicopter, or any other craft!
