Burnaby (Canada), BC · Canada
8/9 August 2018 - viewing and photographing huge worm-like object in sky over south Burnaby & south Vancouver, B.C. Slowly moving northeast to southwest. Emits a very bright orange light which can be seen with naked eye. Using binoculars and telescopic lens on camera is easily seen changing shapes every 30 seconds. Colours change from orange to silver. Absolutely fantastic! Anyone with a telescope will be amazed!

1450ft above sea level. Viewed from 33°36’48” N x 111°52’35 W Viewed with a naked eye Numerous unidentified “aircraft” shaped objects above North Scottsdale, Sunday, August 5th, 2018, at 8:48 p.m. The initial object was a solid bright orange, not flashing, then the orange disappeared and was replaced by what appeared to be all dark with a spotlight being adjusted. This object was moving NE to SW, then changed direction and moved W, it flew at increased and decreased pitch like a greater-than-less-than symbol. Several airplanes appeared shortly after and began flying towards the object, at which point three additional objects that appeared to look like Military Drones, as they were torpedo-shaped but with large bat or seagull shaped wings. As it was dark outside, I determined shape by looking at the cast of the light. Eventually a fourth object that was solely a golden Naples-yellow color appeared where previously I had identified Venus as being with the use of the SkyView Application, as if the lights were just turned on, and then the object began traveling quite slowly North to South. All of the objects with the exception of the identifiable aircraft were silent, and no wind sheer could be heard. The initial object appeared to be around 15,000 feet high, while the other objects appeared to be above the 38,000ft altitude most commercial aircraft fly at. Then at 9:35pm what initially appeared to be a military aircraft, silently jettisoned across the sky very quickly, North to South, before eventually turning and heading East also seen from Scottsdale. Though initially it appeared to be a military jet with traditional lighting for perhaps a Stealth plane or an F18 Hornet, then the lights suddenly vanished and a golden light overtook the silhouette of the aircraft and instead of traveling East it made a full loop very quickly as if traveling faster than anything I’d ever seen before, at which point a loud guttural sound was heard, perhaps it was an antique military craft, but all observations do not support that theory. Throughout the totality of the event a plethora of sounds could be heard from airplane, to jet sounds, to sounds similar to motor boats, as well as sounds similar to Electronic music synthesizers. The initial observer and his fiancée are a 34 year old man and a 33 year old woman ,residents of Scottsdale, who is originally from Chicago and recently moved to Arizona in 2017, initially moving to Wickenburg before moving to Scottsdale on 1/118. The man is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago and has a degree in Art History and has a passion for art, fashion, photography, wildlife, poetry, literature, history, Geology, Lapidary, Nature, and Politics. The woman studied Pre-Med at Northwestern University Chicago and received an additional degree in Creative Non-fiction from Pitzer College, California, she top shares many of the same interests, and they both work in high fashion retail management. The third observer is an Arizona native, 35 years old, with a history of drug abuse and extensive criminal background, the fourth observer is also an Arizona Native who works in Engineering and Refrigeration, lives in Scottsdale and enjoys off-roading. He is 39 years of age.

I took my dog out into the back yard to do her business. On the way back in a bright light caught my eye. At first I thought it was an airplane. However, I’m familiar with the flight patterns in my area and this light was not in one of the normal flight paths. In fact I could see a plane to the left heading toward Logan Airport and another further to the right leaving Logan or heading toward TF Greene. Initially, the light was amber colored and seemed very high in altitude. However, its brightness was about twice that of the airplanes. The light was solid and not strobing. It appeared to be somewhat cross-shaped, but I wasn’t sure if it might’ve just been light refraction. There were scattered low-level clouds but none blocked the view. The light travelled from north-north-east and toward the south-south-east from my perspective. The light travelled at approximately the same speed as an high altitude plane. Within 5-10 seconds the light started loosing intensity and the color faded to white. After about another 10 seconds of the light slowly losing its intensity it was nothing more than a pinpoint of light no bigger than a very small star. Within a second it faded to complete darkness and I lost sight of it. The entire episode was about 15-20 seconds in duration. I have seen hundreds of shooting stars in my life. If this was a shooting star it moved far slower than any I’ve ever seen and did not have a tail. I’m in my mid-50’s, have a post-graduate degree, am a professional, have a wife and children, and have never seen anything I’ve considered completely inexplicable in the air before.

My oldest sons, 18 and 19, are the ones who recorded this time. They were not sure if it was a plane or not. But it obviously isn't. Above my mothers house every night after 23:00 hours they come out the most. But I see them all day as planes. Like a hologram with a sound put out. But it changes shapes to fast and follows us.

In the early morning of July 30th, at around 0320, as I laid down in bed, I noticed a particularly bright star in the Southern sky, to the right and lower than the moon, but thought nothing of it, besides how bright and pretty it was. However, when I took off my glasses, laid my head on my pillow, and opened my eyes to look towards it once more, the entire area was no longer a star, it contained a kaleidoscope of numbers, letters, and symbols I couldn't identify or make sense of. To check if it was my vision, I'd close one eye at a time and look with the other, but each eye still saw the same thing independently. It was completely bizarre. Then I grabbed my glasses to look at it, but through my glasses it only looked like a star. I took my glasses off again and back were the numbers, letters, and symbols. I did this repeatedly over and over until I finally woke my husband up because I couldn't fall asleep wondering what I was watching! He was too tired to get up and look, but I got out of bed, picked up my cell phone, and started to record at 0338. The first recording was only about 3 minutes in length and was just testing to see if the star would show up, which it did. I also panned from the moon to the street lights and then to the star to try for an estimation of distance. We live in a house in a suburb and have a clear view of the night sky. I zoomed in as much as my cell phone allowed. For the second recording, about double the length of time, starting at 0343, I placed my elbows on my dresser to steady the cell phone. It took me several seconds to steady myself and to find the star again. Unfortunately, just like when I had my glasses on, the recording did not show any kaleidoscope of letters, numbers, or symbols, which I only saw without my glasses. After I stopped the second recording, the “star” was still doing the same thing. At that point, I assumed it might just go on like that all night, and I was just! too tired to keep watching, so I had to go to bed. In watchi! ng the r ecording, the next day, I was able to enlarge the video further by using my pointer finger and thumb on my phone’s screen. It was amazing to see how fast it was and the random patterns and shapes. I’ve never seen something like this; it was intriguing, but it also made me a bit uneasy. I didn’t want to report it because I’m sure it sounds crazy, but I can assure you that I am not crazy. When my husband also saw the recording the next day, he had no idea how to explain it, and subsequently the two other people I’ve told are clueless as to an explanation as well. I will look on your website to find out how to upload the recordings. Did anyone else see this in my area? Has anyone had a similar experience seeing a kaleidoscope of letters, numbers, or symbols? Any help from anyone would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Mecca, CA
I have been taking pictures of the planets, due to the fact most of them are visible this month, for 4 days I have seen this objects flying back, & forth, but never going out of sight like airplanes usually do, I didn't pay much attention until today that I tried taking a picture of the objects using the flash,at the 3 flash 2 of the objects completely stopped in mid air high above my home, the sound they make is soft almost like the old squared fans, i had my binoculars on me, so I quickly used them to try to identify the objects above, they looked like a diamond with a bullet shaped piece on each side, sometime the sides have a plain white light, & change into one red & one green light that blink making it look like an airplane, but as it starts descending lower clearly visible it's not a plane, but an unfamiliar oobject, when I looked for the other 2 objects I spotted the 3rd one coming from were Jupiter was at that time, but there was a smaller object! beneath it with very dim lights hardly visible, it looked like an individual flying down with a jet pack with a fan like propeller on each side, it got so close as like a mile high, & a block away from me, but it was coming directly my way, at that point I freaked out & ran inside locked all my doors, & turned of most of my lights, but as I keep peeking through the window they are still up there now.

St. George Island, FL
Second night in a row, but much different objects this time. We were looking in a southeasterly direction to Mars. Then about our 11o’clock position there faded in what appeared to be a very large semi-circular craft that was light by four extremely large amber glowing lights. The lights emanated from the one craft along the edge of it, and it was quite large. The ambient light seemed to sort of show a much larger depth to the craft. The dark part was in the shadow of the light, but it was darker than the sky. It felt like if the entire craft was illuminated that it would be absolutely massive. Then it faded out, but the strange thing was, even though it was faded out, it felt like it was still there. My twin 17 year old daughters and I held our breath during the event. And even though this subject matter is extremely intriguing to me, something about this, for a millisecond it felt ominous. The next lights we saw, a few minutes later, were chevron shaped facing southwest. It had multiple red lights forward, and it seem to be emitting, or dropping glowing gold orbs that did not make it to the water. Again it was about 30-40 degrees up from our horizon. This sighting was more complex and sort of ominous than the previous night. Different clusters of lights and crafts. We are vacationing here on the island for another week and I intend to be watching the skies from our back deck every night. I am a 54 year old woman, my husband is 59 and my twin daughters will be 18 y are old next week. I grew up in San Diego, where my father was an aero-space engineer. So. I’ve always had an affinity for aeronautics, space travel, and the strong possibility of other lifeforms in the universe and galaxies beyond. These are the only incidents I have ever been lucky enough to witness.

Tamworth (Australia), NEW SOUT · Australia
It was in July 2018 one evening around 6pm I was outside on the back veranda having my evening coffee and cigarette looking at the sunset, when I notice an orange light off in the distance slowly moving across the sky, I thought it was an odd colour for a plane light or helicopter, it would stop for long periods of time and as it got darker I could see it was no ordinary light, during the course of that evening I saw other coloured lights and chose to ignore it, but this kept going for a month then things and events started to change and that’s when I started taking photos. My Granddaughter and I were followed in the car to the Coles supermarket and came after us in the Coles car park car park when we got out of the car. Yes, I do have witnesses, including two police officers and sent emails to others. But even though the cops saw these things follow them and saw what I saw one cop was in denial and the other cop said I don’t know what they are, but both said I think it would be safer for you if you go inside the house and stay there and we will repot this to the proper authorities. My family refuse to acknowledge any of this and it is understandable that this would scare the hell out of any normal person. Well to the cops I guess I am some crazy senile old bag who was most probably high on something, and my daughter tells me stop letting my imagination run away with me, so welcome to my imagination. It has been over three years now and there has been too many to count in the night sky and around, for example one night I walked outside and was looking at the vacant lot next door and from out of the sky hundreds of these fairy lights of different colours came floating onto the ground it looked as though someone had put on a light show it was so beautiful and then as they hit the ground they vanished. I have learnt they don’t vanish they are still there you just can’t see them. They have been different colours, different sizes, they make no sounds, some change shape, they do go into people’s homes, they will approach me if I let them know that they are there, so I don’t tend t to look up when I go out into the yard anymore or the little fairy light type things start coming down after me. What I have discovered over time is that they travel faster than the speed of light, can be invisible to the human eye, dogs can see them, so they can be seen by inferred, camera’s slow them down, and capture more. They turn up to the same position every night and there’s a lot of them most of them look like planets or stars from a distance, I have taken photos of a couple of ships there is the one I have included but the recent one I still have not downloaded as I find it stuffs them up. It is hard to tell the size of things on my camera when it comes to space, I am no photographer and as for size with the things I have seen close to the ground they are not big enough to carry a being in them. The biggest one that I had chat with outside the bathroom window was round looked like the glass lens of a camera with thin lines on it as it spun around it seemed thick and was wider than my shoulders higher than my head I never paid much attention I was to busy questioning it and was worried about it getting to close to me when I failed to realize that another one had snuck up behind and had been sitting there for some time I guess and frightened the hell out of me. these are the ones that hang out over the airport Mr orange I call the main one. Had this thought go through my head at the time that this one didn’t seem so happy that the other one was getting too friendly was it maybe because, it was its superior officer, girlfriend or Mrs or boyfriend, who knows, but I learned most of them travel in pairs. While I was sleeping, I have been woken to a blue light hovering above my head, when I sat up it disappeared into the wall, well I thought it did back then, discovered otherwise since. Now realise the dam thing was still in the room made itself invisible. Since these things have appeared things have been happing to my family, our healthy Shepard died the vet said there was nothing wrong with him, I ended up in hospital with my brain swollen and now suffer with high blood pressure and migraines my Granddaughter broke her femur and has been ill and my daughter have been ill I don’t know who, what where, these things come from, but someone better give me an answer pretty dam soon because I am dam worried. I don’t like my home and my privacy being invaded; I don’t give a dam who they bloody are. I am no crazy loon, and these are real photos, just want to get this stuff sorted, I am worried, others might not care about their family and country, but I care about mine. If I don't get answers soon I will start taking these things out I dont care who owns them.

We had come back from dinner, and I noticed a 5 point stick figure star over the San Jacinto Mountains. When we got in, I went into the back yard with my ipad and started filming it. It just looked like a bright light that changed in its brilliance. My husband came out with his canon hd vixia HFM31 camera, and started filming it. The object did not move, as in the video. That was his movement. He had it on zoom and did not alter the setting. The object seemed to come closer and retreat. You can see on the video, the shape and changing shape and color of it. When he went inside, several minutes later, I observed it to just disappear. It did not fly off.

Pendleton, OR
My newspaper was contacted via Facebook that people were seeing a white object hovering over the town for the last hour. My editors told me about it when I came in to work about an hour later (so other witnesses had been watching the one object for two hours before I headed to their location). Upon arriving at the scene I began talking to the witnesses and they pointed out the object to me. I began taking photos of the object with my camera equipped with a 300mm lens (the object was so high up it looks like a white semi-translucent dot) when we noticed another similar object appear. The two objects appeared to merge before moving apart from each other and eventually the second object either disappeared, or we lost track of it. A few minutes later we saw another, lower object. I began taking photos of that object as well. I quickly looked at the images I had taken and my first thought was it was a plastic bag flying through the air. The object was again a white, semi-translucent object that seemed to be changing its shape. But as myself and multiple other witnesses watched, we saw this object traverse a distance of around 10 miles in the span of a minute’s time. While watching I had called another friend of mine who happened to be working in the area that the object took off in. He was literally right under the object when we were talking. He found it with binoculars and watch as the object climbed up to about 10,000 feet in the air before vanished before our eyes. Around this time, the original object vanished, too. ( We spoke with the source of the report. He stated that he had managed to photograph the object, but that he could not share the photo because his employer owned the photo. Apparently, the newspaper the photographer works for does not want to publish an article about the event. PD))

My wife and I observed the craft for approximately 10 minutes. I was able to view the craft with binoculars and observed the crafts ability to shift its shape. I personally do not believe that this was a drone being that I operated drones both as a hobby and professionally. This was the first sighting of an object that I could not identify in my lifetime. I’ve worked around aircraft for several years now at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and feel that I’m familiar with how most aircraft operate. This craft appeared to be static but also appeared to have control of itself which leads me to believe that it was not any type of weather balloon. I was able to snap a few pictures with a cell phone camera for what it’s worth.

On June 30, 2018, I saw what I thought was the sun glinting off of an airplane in the western sky around 11:15 AM. I witnessed three more pin hole spots which just hung in the sky ( as bright as venus). Eventually I saw a total of 5 with my naked eye and went in and got my dad who came outside and witnessed them as well. They were moving slow and against the wind ( which the clouds were blowing SW ). They split up and two went South, two went North and the rest glittered off and on until they faded. At the time I thought they were drones. I saw a jet fly right above one ( they were below clouds) and it slowly “ drifted “ to around 20 degrees off of pole center and faded in the cloud cover that was heading in. During this I saw my neighbor over the fence and told him to look up, I grabbed my binoculars and went over to his house where the three of us observed a bent tic tac silver shape with a cable hanging from the bottom. I got no pictures of it because I l! eft my phone on the table when I left, but we all observed it through binoculars (see attached drawing ). I will ask them to file a report as well. The whole thing took over 25 minutes until we could no longer see anything due to that silvery cloud cover. I'm unsure as to what exactly these were, but I have never seen a craft like this. After adding a photoshop “FIND EDGES” filter to the images I can count 9 for sure but could only see 5 with my naked eye.

Not sure about this. Anyway, last year in August, me, ((woman #1 name deleted)), ((male name deleted)) and ((woman #2 deleted)) were at Dauphin Island. Around dusk we see this barbell looking thing over the west end of the island. We watch it for a while, then it disappears and reapers 90 degrees away in the sky over Pascagoula, MS. It eventually goes down like it is landing. ((male name deleted)) told me Pascagoula has been a hot spot for UFO activity for years. I look it up and he is right, never heard of this before. Anyway, fast forward 10 months, and I see it again last night, same exact place in the sky. It was dumbell shaped too, then turned so you only saw one end. I got video both times. Here is the one from last night, anyone know what the hell this is?

I arrived home around 10:30 pm and when I pulled in the driveway I noticed a bright light above the tree line in the distance. I first thought it was a satellite or low star and then reasoned it was too low and seemed to move. I went inside and asked by skeptical husband to come and look. He thought it was strange as well. We ruled out helicopter and at that point I went and got my video camera with a rather large zoom. It got stranger from there. My husband thought it might be a drone as it would get farther from the camera and then come back closer. However, when it did come back closer, I got very interesting video that did not look like a drone as it had many more lights; not to mention it was bigger than personal drones and I have not ever seen a military one so I can't say it wasn't. My son came out and wanted to look and he said it looked like it was morphing. Very strange. We got in the car to see if we could get closer to the object and got some additional video. We live in a mountainous region of SW Virginia so your view is often blocked by trees and low areas. We tried to think of another high spot and went out Route 19 towards to North Fork River. We got half way there and realized we were to low and our view was being obstructed by the hills. When then came back into town and went up on a hill at our local Moose Club but once again trees obstructed our view until we came down the hill. We got additional footage and after reviewing it looks like the there are many lights and they are twinkling. We headed home and that is the last we saw of it. The event lasted around 40 minutes. I plan on checking with our local airport to see if they had any calls or if they can identify the object in my videos.
