While walking home across the street from a neighbor’s house, my wife saw a white cigar-shaped (with one pointed end) object up in the sky to the south. She watched it for a few minutes. She said it looked like a jet with no wings or exhaust moving rather slowly (but it wasn’t a balloon). I called the sheriff department, but no other sightings were reported. We are sharing this story in case there are other sightings of a similar object.

Derwood, MD
I was leaving to go to a restaurant with my family and while walking up to the car. I saw the UFO. It was cigar shaped, grey, with red and orange lights. It moved slower than a plane. I went into the car and my Dad asked what I was looking at. I told him, and as an ex-pilot he could' not identify it. We started driving and I saw it again, but I soon lost track of it. The UFO was silent I took pictures, but they are blurry and just look like a white dot.

Olympia, WA
I was sitting on the steps of my apartment in Olympia, WA smoking a cigarette while facing the western sky at approx. 11:30 PM PST when I observed a long cigar shaped object that was blacker than the night sky moving from the south to the north. I couldn't make out any features of the craft but it was completely noiseless and had one small steady white light at the rear of the object while the front had a small blinking red light. Whatever it was, it seemed pretty large. I'd guess that it was about a mile away but if it was further away then it must have been even larger. It was moving fairly slowly at first, almost hovering when I first saw it, but then it picked up speed and disappeared behind a very large stand of trees on the adjoining property. At first, I thought it might be a blimp for a second but when it speeded up, it moved faster than a blimp is capable of; I've seen a few of them over the years and this object speeded up more rapidly than a blimp can. We are pretty close to Joint Base Lewis McChord here, so I suppose it could have been military but it met the definition of a UFO, that much is certain. I've never seen anything like this in the night sky before.

Central City, KY
Cylindrical, cigar-shaped, silver or white craft flying at a very high altitude, making it look approximately 1/2 inch long, at a very high rate of speed. It came into our view of the horizon, far above the treeline, from the left, or North East and took about 2 to 3 minutes to travel the entire length of our visual horizon, eventually leaving our sight in the far right, or South West. It made no audible sound and had no visible wings or other features. This was seen in the bright daylight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Indian Trail, NC
I was feeding my horse and I noticed a long cigar snapped object moving at high altitude. About the time I noticed it I saw two more behind it. These initial 3 were moving relatively fast and were out I my sight in less than a minute. I looked to the left and saw two more craft the same size moving the same speed also at high altitude.one was below the other and I actually got a video of it on my iPhone. It was hard to film because it was daylight and the craft were very far away. I noticed there was no sound from any of these craft and it was unlike the object I saw in 2014 with flashing lights at high altitude .

Newport, ME
Cigar shape daylight object. Has distinct cigar, almost saucer shape outline, not shape like a usual airplane. It was above tree line, but too far away to see detail. I normally would not report this, but it had unusual shape. It was white color and straight, not tilted. It was moving slowly but lost sight as it moved away. It may have been a manmade object of some sort but no binoculars to get a closer view. Anyways, the unusual design of the object is the reason I reported it.

While sitting in my pool, I was facing east, looking up at a beautiful blue sky, when I noted a bright white oblong object. I stared at it, then seen a pin point of white light at about the 7 o'clock position from the larger object as I watched it it appeared another pinpoint of white light came near the other smaller light and then blinked out. While watching these objects I looked to the lower right of the larger object at about the 4 O'clock position and noted another pin point of light. At this point I was observing one larger object and the 2 pinpoints of light. Occasionally the 4th would blink on by the one at the 7 O'clock position. I started to doubt what I was seeing thinking perhaps I was just looking a some debris's on the screening. I got out of the pool and walked outside of the screen room and the objects were still there. I went back into my seating spot in the pool and continued to watch for close to 25 minutes. All of a sudden they all vanished in the blink of an eye. I sat there for a while still looking up at the sky and then saw what I assumed to be the larger object higher in the sky but did not see the smaller objects. I will try an give some idea as to where the objects were using a structural beam of my screen room. The beam is parallel to my patio approximately 10 feet off the deck. I was sitting in my pool on a seat approximately 18 inches below the deck. The large object appeared about 12 to 14 inches above this beam and appeared to be 3/8 of an inch long. The object at the 7 o'clock position appeared to be about 3 inches below the larger object. The object at the 4 o'clock position was about 6 to 7 inches from the larger object. I have watched shuttle and rocket launches at the cape from my backyard and the larger object seemed to be in that proximity. With the exception of one of the pinpoints of light all the others remained stationary.

San Antonio, TX
I was on my way to an afternoon appointment, and I stopped at my subdivision's entrance, which intersects a very busy street in the Stone Oak area. It was a typical South Texas day, hot as hell, and clear blue, but for a couple dark clouds. We're in big sky country and I just glanced up as a I waited for a break in traffic to merge and I saw plane flying from east to west. No, not a plane. That's not a plane. I'm used to seeing aircraft in San Antonio, with all the army bases. I know what most large military craft look like and they also fly very low. But this was different. This was cigar shaped kind of like a sleek Zeppelin, silver, no lights, no visible insignia. I'm watching traffic I think. There's no one behind me so I lose many opportunities to merge so I can continue to identify the flying object I've become so drawn to. I wonder if anyone else can see it. It's not a plane. It's not a military plane or drone. It's flying low enough to see it's not a plane. It's just cruising and I'm watching it and it flies right into the only dark cloud in the very bright blue sky and never comes out the other end. Not possible. I don't pull over. I don't want to know. No one is behind me still and I merge into traffic and begin to drive but keep my eyes on the cloud. The cloud remains and the object never comes out the other end. I stop at a near light and the object still doesn't come out. I'm stopped next to McDonalds. The object still doesn't come out. That's not a plane. It's not normal but I need to keep moving. I know I do. I keep my appointments, I tell my immediate family and it's just another unexplained sighting that they think is really cool but dismiss after dinner. When I was younger, I didn't know any better and would report these sightings to police. Now I know to report some to UFO centers and keep moving. I am surprised by this one though, that it didn't make the news, that no one saw it. It was so huge in such a bright sky, the middle of the day. I don't think anyone saw it. I saw the world go on like normal. I don't think they all saw it. I don't know how they couldn't have. It flew into that dark cloud and that was it, its tomb, it never came out.

I was out watering my lawn, when I looked up and noticed a cigar shaped object flying in a NE direction. There was noting else in the sky. The sun was already down on the horizon but it was still light outside (dusk). After watching about 2 seconds, the object lit up and "glowed" very white. This object had a distinct dark line in the middle of the craft and when it first "glowed" the front half of this thing appeared to glow first followed by the rear end of it following. The whole craft was illuminated and it went back to the original finish that appeared to be something like an airplane. It pulsated twice now with both ends illuminating at the same time. The dark line in the middle stayed dark. I turned toward the west to see if there was anyway that it was reflecting the sun but the sun wasn't even above the horizon and had it been reflecting the sun it would not have been such a brilliant white light. It was traveling faster than I hav! e witnessed airplanes traveling. I witnessed another cigar shaped object in the identical place in the sky a few years ago, but it never "illuminated" like this one.

Tuttle, OK
Me and a few friends were outside enjoying the nice weather. We were just about to head inside when the craft appeared. It was maybe half of an inch in the sky, it looks like it was at a relatively high elevation and ascending. The object itself looks like a pen or cigar we could not tell the exact color but it did seem as though it were changing colors. What really made it visible was it's trail! The trail to our eyesight looked like six inches long or so, no telling how long it was in reality, since it was so far away. It had two trails, one above, one below. The trail(s) looked whitish blue. Really weird, no noise, but a few minutes later there was a lot of wind (no wind before). We were looking east and it seemed like it was headed south and ascending. Finally disappeared into the cover of darkness after seven to twelve seconds, too fast to get it on camera...not enough time... unlike any unidentified object I have ever seen. We will not forget this one.

Flower Mound, TX
June 10, 2015, @ 4:50 am Outside my apartment building, I saw a bright orange light coming from North East direction in the corner of my left vision and I quickly jumped out of my car and saw in front of me moving fast towards me at a 45 degree angle; a cigar shape cylinder looking flying object with orange lights in front and in back of it. Approximately 3 stories high in front of me, lower than any plane would fly. Was jet-like speed. Traveling at an angle to South West direction. Smaller than a jet plane and bigger than an suv truck. I heard no noise and saw no smoke. I quickly followed the UFO craft by moving my body in the direction that it was traveling for approximately 7 seconds total and then all the orange lights and flying craft suddenly disappeared from my vision. The back ground was trees and a dark sky and the UFO craft was clearly visable to me eye sight directly moving in front of me. The Moon was waning to the south-east of me with very sma! ll amount of light in the sky. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. PD

Pollock, TX
I'm going to describe it the way I described it to my friend in a text as soon as it happened: I just saw an ufo. (Let's make this clear...I don't mean an alien ship)...just something I was unsure what it was. At first I thought it was a falling star but ruled that out because they happen too fast. This was a slow but not too slow moving object. And unlike a falling star that appears to fall in a vertical line or appears to be be falling in general, this object wasn't falling. It was moving horizontally or parallel to the earth. The reason for comparing it to a falling star was bc it had a tail behind it. But this tail wasn't bright like a star that's falling. It reminded me of a jet with the stream of smoke behind it. But this object appeared to be too close to be a jet and way too big. It was long and cylinder shaped or cigar shaped, and from where I was sitting it looked to be over a foot long or maybe more; longer than a ruler. I was driving at the time and I pulled over to continue watching it. Eventually it disappeared either by vanishing or what I think it was the angle of it may have caused me to not see it anymore. I can say this it reminded me of the rocket ship of nasa but longer.

Newbury, VT
As a passenger in my friend's car in the afternoon. I saw a very cool looking iridescent cloud, so I took multiple pictures with my cell phone as we were driving. We pulled over and I took more outside of the car. I did not discover the UFO's in the pictures until I got home and viewed the photo's of the cloud. There appeared to be sliver cigar shaped ones that split into a red one and a blue one, they stayed stationary then split into several again. They also appeared to instantly move to the opposite sides of cloud. It was pretty exciting. I posted them on you tube and circled them in red, stop the slide show and zoom in to get a close look. Go to YouTube Newbury, VT, UFO's caught by accident. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I stood there examining the craft for several seconds. Then realizing what I saw was a ufo, I tried to bring it to another buddy's attention, but by the time they looked, it was almost out of sight.

Minoa, NY
I was at a local carnival, and this oval shaoed craft kept flying by over us. It would stop, start, dart, circle, stay in one place, etc. I finally took out my phone and shot a short video if it before it shot off rapidly. It had red lights on one end and green on the other. It had NO wings. It was a clear evening with no clouds. It made no sound or contrails.

I was driving down the road watching two aircraft flying together in formation turning and and looping around like they were practicing their turns. They were flying very low to the ground, like crop sprayers, but they had no wings, were silver like jet, no numbers or markings on them either and a kind of fin on the back of each one. There was no noise and I watched them for awhile and then one followed the other and they flew due east away from me. It was a clear sunny day and they were in plain view.

Greenfield, OH
Standing outside looking north on a clear day, the object suddenly came into my view traveling VERY slowly from west to east over town. Less than 1/4 mile distance away and unusually low at 200-300 feet altitude (judging by the trees). Object was approximately 150-200 ft long. Strange thing is, it didn't occur to me until much later after object had already flown out of sight, like an afterthought, that this object made no sound, had no lights, windows, wings, tail or visible markings. NOTE: Reason this report is years after the fact, I recently read a sighting report here that is eerily similar and aligns with date and time (1 hour earlier and 80 miles to my west).

A coworker and I went outside around 11 to take a smoke break. I looked up to see a long white/ silver tube flying north. I asked my coworker "do you see that?" He said "dude, that doesn't have a tail." He was referring to the absence of a tail wing which would obviously make it an airplane. We watched it for about 30 seconds before it was out of view. Though it was flying, it wasn't really "flying." The way it moved was effortless. I know that sounds weird but it moved like nothing I had ever seen. The object looked longer than any passenger jet. Both ends of the object were circular or if you could imagine the ends of it were "capped" with half spheres. It made no noise.

Niagara Falls, NY
As it approached directly over head I noticed another object approaching from a slight southeast direction, and they appeared to pass one another, the second object to the southern side of the passenger plane, from my perspective they looked to be equal in size, only this new object was a little blurry or hazy, as if it was actually much higher and the haze was a result of the gases in the higher atmosphere which means this t! hing was either much larger than the plane or, if it was gases, magnified by them. The sound of the landing plane was clearly audible and the sound stayed with the movement of the plane, it was definitely low enough that the sound of it's turbines didn't trail behind it. But, as this other object passed the plane, I followed it until it passed over the corner of my home on it's north, slightly northwest trajectory. I observed it was moving a little bit faster than the descending speed of the plane, it had absolutely no wings or protrusions, in made absolutely no sound and it was lined with maybe 4 to 7 lights that appeared to be pulsating very brightly in shades of red and green, but because it appeared to by in a haze, almost like peering through a wave of heat that rises off of black top, any detail other than the lights and outline where not distinguishable. I can only speculate what this was but I have two theories. One is that it was hazy because of its height and is ! actually enormous or not quite so large and amplified by the magnifyin g properties of gases. Second the blurry affects are from a malfunctioning cloaking apparatus, and the lack of sound or wings or afterburner means it may have been an antigravity vehicle. These are not my pictures or video, but for reference purposes I have included them. The object in the video looks like it's actually reflecting light, the lights on what I saw where consistent. This is what I saw only more hazy and larger. The top comment from the Nexus Knight is mine: https://youtu.be/fPi0wi7gRgg A silent but illuminated cigar shaped craft passed a low altitude commercial passenger plane from opposite direction directly over head.

Stanton, KY
Clear sky with minimal clouds. I live at the base of two mountains in a valley where this sighting occurred. Against the blue sky I noticed what appeared to be a plane over the mountain west of my house. I paid no further attention and went back inside my house. Approximately two to three minutes later a sound that I cannot describe as I have never heard anything like it before became very loud to the point I had to cover my ears. The air seemed like it was electrically charged and my body was suffering from the sound. Almost like standing in front of a bass guitar amp played at loud volume. The first thing that came to mind was that the plane I had seen was crashing. I went to my front door, which has a storm door as well entirely made of glass. The storm door was vibrating so strongly I thought it was going to shatter. I ran outside afraid that the plane was going to crash into my house and that is when I noticed what can only be described as a cigar shaped UFO, only one end came to a point where the other was rounded like a cigar. It was approximately seventy five feet off the ground hovering parallel with a stand of trees that runs adjacent to my drive way. These trees are very old and tall, the craft seemed to be able to push the tops of trees out of the way as it continued to move. It should have definitely made contact with the top of several trees but I could see them being pushed out of the way as if by some invisible force. The length of the craft was easily two hundred feet at a minimum. It had the appearance of brushed aluminum. Even in the broad day light it seemed to emit a yellow/gold light from underneath it. I watched all of this over the course of several minutes until it drifted away out of sight. It then appeared instantaneously over a mountain approximately a half mile in the distance where it went over the crest and down the other side. I know that I should have been able to see it ascend the mountain! But after the trees had blocked my view and it was out of sight for approximately ten seconds when it appeared out of nowhere at the top of said mountain. The moment I came outside of my house the noise and "vibrations" stopped. The craft made absolutely no noise and the only sound I heard while watching it was the rustling of the leaves as the UFO moved over them. I live in a wooded area and it is the first time I have ever heard complete silence. No birds or insects made any noise and at this point almost three hours later it is still dead silent. I could see no windows but there were two spots that almost seemed like they were made of mercury very fluid like. They appeared to ripple as the sun reflected off them. I have no mental health problems and I am not on any medication. My nose had started to bleed at some point when I was watching the ufo but I did not notice it until I went inside but by this time my white T-shirt had been covered in quite a bit of blood so it had to be bleeding for several minutes. I have had a terri! ble headache ever since the noises and vibrations. I know I'm jumping around a lot in my text, I'm still shaking from the event and my mind is racing. I know what I saw was not a hallucination or a misidentification. I could feel the heat radiating from the UFO and had I walked a hundred yards I could have been underneath it. That is how close it was. I hope I never see anything like that again. The whole event happened over five minutes. However when I went back inside thirty to forty minutes had passed. I had been recording a TV show on DVR that had just come on at 1:30 pm. The program was an hour long and when I had went back inside my house the program was nearly done with maybe fifteen minutes left.

Michigan City, IN
I'm 38 years old, white/blonde female, born and raised in Manhattan, college educated...recently bought a 14 acre farm in Michigan City, IN, next to a 300 acre, unusual soil and plant life nature preserve (Ambler Flatwoods). My profession is a Author/Hypnotherapist. The second witness is my cousin, white male/red hair, 37 years old, college educated. He works for his father's metal recycling company. May, 17, 2015, at approx. 2:40 pm, my cousin and I were sitting by a 1.3 acre pond on my farm property and looking up admiring a very tall tree near by. I positioned my cell phone to take a picture of the tree - at that time, the sky was clear - no planes, sounds nor birds seen as we were looking up at the tree and surrounding sky. I saw nothing except sky and the tree through my phone camera as I was trying to position the frame for the best angled shot. As soon as I took the photo and checked it, and saw a rather dark and dense cigar/cyclical object with a slight bright "aura" around it very close to the tree's image in the photograph. I quickly turned to my cousin and said, "What is this??" Now, admittedly, I have been interested in ET's and alternative spirituality for quite some time. Though I certainly would rather my photo be debunked than jump to wild conclusions.
