High altitude, above 30,000 ft, slowly creeped around blue sky for miles and probably hours, so small it hurt my eyes to hold focus but could definitely catch the glint of light bouncing off the bottom side of the craft as it wobbled or rotated, like a faint star in the daytime.

Kendall, FL
Saw an object hovering over the area of Winston Park in Kendall. It was about 36,00 feet but was no airplane. I saw it while I was driving east towards 147 Ave for about 10 seconds. The sun was reflecting off this object and made it shine. I pulled over to try and take a picture but in a blink it disappeared. There were no clouds around this object.

Kite, GA
On Thursday night on Jan 25, 2018, around the time 8:30 pm, my friend and I were around a fire in Meeks Community, Georgia, near a pond with a radio in the background and food on the fire my friend and I rushed towards lights in the sky, over Kite Georgia. The lights looked like two separate objects it seemed as if the lights were spinning and almost communicating with each other. The reason why I say that is because the lights swing left to right on both objects only to see two lights on each object until it went back to the left side to swing to the right again. Again, there were two huge objects rotating with two lights apiece. The lights in the rotation in both objects lasted 30 seconds. The lights were yellow and white. Separately on both objects, and both objects were BIG, had to be over Kite Georgia. There in no doubt there were two objects. There was no noise at all but the radio in the background. This report is undisputed do to the facts there was two eyewitnesses.

Timberlake, OH
Tonight, on January 18th at approximately 7:05pm EST while sitting in my hot tub and looking up at the stars/sky, I observed two objects flying sort of erratically from east to west almost side by side. Then, all of a sudden, they changed direction and headed south. I tried to turn off my hot tub to see if I could hear anything, but couldn’t. These objects had lights, maybe reddish. I can’t be sure of their shape, but I would say round or oblong. It’s hard to say because, even though the sky was dark, it was still early in the evening and there was some steam from my hot tub. I’m not sure how high they were flying, but I’m going to guess no more than cruising altitude for a commercial airliner, but it is really hard to guess their altitude. For reference, we have very tall, mature trees in our village and these objects were much much higher than them and where I’m used to seeing airliners fly. For background information, I live about a ½ mile from Lake Erie near Eastlake, OH. There are no street lights in my village. I often sit in my hot tub and look up at the stars and watch the planes flying into CLE Hopkins and Lost Nation airports. I have also seen a fireball or meteor not to mention many shooting stars. I was honestly in disbelief of what I was seeing and was saying to myself ((deleted--"What is this?”!. I observed these objects for maybe 10-15 seconds before they disappeared to the south. In my mind, I was trying to make sense of it and whether it could have been a couple of drones but I guess they’d have to be real good pilots to pull off that maneuver at night let alone daytime. Still, I can’t be sure of what I saw but it was very abnormal from what I’m used to seeing, so I wanted to report it just in case anyone saw the same thing.

Witness and a neighbor observed an alleged rotating disc with lighted windows. It appeared to be hovering about 2 to 3 miles from their position. They provided three photos of the event but object appears to be much closer and a ground target. (MUFON CMS)

Eugene, OR
I saw behind a tree about 60 feet above was a lit up long flat disc shaped object. It hovered there for about a minute then procceded to move slowly along the row of trees getting higher and higher. About 50 feet away it got lower and made a simaler sound to a boom of thunder and then it got lower and lower and zoomed off in the distance. This took about 3 minutes then it was gone. Description of object: it lit up along the whole bottom edge. The shape was like a flat disc and was ginormous and long. Its pace had no stops and went smoothly. When it was hovering it was still and the lights seemed dimmer than when it started to move. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On December 28, 2017 @ approximately 8:30 pm I noticed a very large stationary bright orangish yellow light in the southeastern sky so I hurried and got my spotting scope to get a better look. Whenever I returned and started to look at it through the scope it slow started moving north just above the trees maybe 50-100 ft. I debunked it being a plane or helicopter because there was no noise and no flashing four lights. It also wasn't a satellite cause it was too low. Fully zoomed in on it the shape of the craft was very distinguished and appeared to pulsate going dim to bright. I watched it for about a minute or two, until it was out of sight. Three hours later I was outside smoking again and noticed a similar craft moving from south to north but on the opposite side of the house. When zoomed in all the way I saw a disk shaped craft that appeared to be spinning while moving forward. The craft also had a rotating ring of lights dividing the craft in two.

My security cam in my backyard will send a series of 6 pictures to my email in the event of something flying in front of it. It usually does not detect birds unless they are very close up. I received a series of 6 pictures on my email 12/21. On the 3rd one, usually the 3rd is what is the trigger, I received the attached photo. The other five are blank, only the 3rd picture shows the attached. Is this bird? If so, it’s a really large one. If this is anything please contact me. Thanks!

Olympia, WA
I was driving around Rock Candy Road looking to see if there were any good places for star watching. I wanted to find a good spot in my area for viewing the space station, away from lights. I wake up early every day for work and just couldn't fall asleep after I woke up so decided to go for a ride since the sky is clear today. I did not know if there was a gate to get into Capital Forest, so I drove to check it out. Just past the parking lot for the trailhead there was a bright flash, everything illuminated like lightening, but there were no clouds and no storms anywhere close. I stopped my car and got out to look at the sky and grabbed my iPhone. I saw a black round, maybe disc object maybe 100 feet from me, about 40 feet above the trees. It made no sound. My iPhone was completely black, then after a few seconds I saw the apple logo and realized it was rebooting. I never shut it down, it did this on its own. The object was only visible by the fact that it block out the sky and made no sound at all. It moved to the WSW and behind some hills and I couldn't see it anymore. I got very emotional afterwards and started crying. I am very skeptical of these sorts of things and have no idea what the object was.

Cordova, TN
I was driving into work like I normally do, except due to the holidays this was a rare occurrence. I usually leave for work at either 10am or the sun has already set by the time I get to this spot. It was between exits on I-40 before exit 18 and the bridge that goes over US-64. I was driving and I look up to see a large (but not huge, closer to medium size) alien ship. It was very shiny and the lid was either reflecting the sun (no clouds in the sky, very clear). It appeared suddenly (I didn't look up in time to remember which direction is had movement from.) it stayed still for a split second and disappeared out of my horizon because of the trees. It seemed to be close in the area to a plane, because that was what I tied it to at first. After seeing it, and because it was so sudden, I hadn't entirely decided it was real. I studied the plane I'd also spotted and caught a few glimpses of an object that I can't identify as what I'd seen just split second befor! e, but the object(s) I glimpsed weren't normal planes either. They looked like flying circles. But my eyes were unable to focus hard enough on them, because by this time I'm needing to merge with traffic. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

I was out on my front deck when the sky flashed. It looked like lighting. I thought lighting in December was strange. So I checked the weather and it was not calling for any at all. The flash happened again 2-3 times in a 10 minute time period. I was looking up waiting for more lightning when my boyfriend happened to notice a ball of light moving in the sky. Neither of us had ever saw nothing like it. It was obviously different then what a plane or satellite looks like. We continued to observe and at times saw at least 3-4 lights on it. It would move quickly and then disappear for a few seconds, then appear again. We decided to try and get a video of it. When I opened the camera on my Iphone, it started focusing on the moving object as a figure. I am going to submit the videos, which were taken from the front deck of my home. It was a clear December night, and there were tons of stars in the sky but the videos only picked up the moving ball of light. We live in an area with a lot of deer. While this went on, two deer stood in our yard and honked for about 5 straight minutes. I am not sure if it was related to the sighting or not. I wish the videos were better quality. I have only about 1 minute recorded, but the light was visible on and off for approximately 1 hour. I am convinced that we saw was a UFO, so I started doing my research and there’s been other people report similar sightings over the years so I felt I should too.

Looked like a saucer but huge and was only white with no blinking lights, looking like it was flying horizontally. Saw two planes in the sky a couple minutes after and they had blinking lights and were flying much faster, no sight of the aircraft I saw though.

I was sitting on my sofa and my wife was letting the dog out and noticed 4 orange objects in the sky and asked me to come look. I got up and walked out the back door to see the 4 orange objects hovering at a slow pace then crossing over each other and then they slowing were out or range and disappeared. I have worked on military trainings at night and have never seen anything like this in my life.

On Dec 9, 2017, around 8pm, I was driving home, going north, when I saw blinking red lights thru the trees. As I came around the bend in the road, I saw lots of blinking red lights at eye level straight in front of me over the road about ½ mile away. I told my boyfriend to look at that! I drove to the head of our lane about ½ the distance to the object and stopped to watch it about 5 minutes. I watched it go into our field and move down towards the house. When it was getting close to the house I raced down the lane (about ¼ mile) to the house and yelled at my mom to come out. We watched it together until it went out of sight. My boyfriend and I saw the same thing my mother saw described below. On Dec 9, 2017, at 8:05pm MST my daughter came running into the house yelling at me to come outside. When I came out she told me to look up into the northern sky. I looked up but didn’t see anything until I lowered my eyes looking at eye level and there it was in our field by our house. It looked to be about in the middle of our field 800 ft away from us. I saw a lot (didn’t count) of dim, rectangular, flashing red lights with an occasional white flash going around the middle of what appeared to be a very large object moving very slowly across our field. It was moving from west to east (left to right) at an angle to the ground with the front lower than the back. It was very close to the ground and there was no sound. We tried to take a picture with a cell phone but you couldn’t see it. We watched it move across our field and go over the trees into our neighbor’s field. We watched the blinking lights until they went out of sight behind the trees. It took about 5 minutes for it to go out of sight about ¼ mile. There is a picture at www.bigskywords.com/montana-blog/a-history-of-ufos-in-montana that looks close to what we saw minus the light going down to the ground and the light on top. The lights going around were dim red with a few flashes of white not as pictured there. This was witnessed by myself (pharmacist), my daughter and her boyfriend (professional chef) We spoke via telephone with this witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally eloquent, and objective, in her description of the event. We suspect that she is a skilled, and highly reliable, witness. PD

Independence, OR
On December 13, 2017, at 4:58pm, this investigator was contacted by a relative through Facebook messaging on a sighting in the Independence/Buena Vista area of Oregon. My cousin, 25 years in law enforcement sent a link from one of his contacts on Facebook for me to look at. December 14, 2017 @ 4:32pm This investigator called the Independence Police in Independence, Or. I spoke with the officer on duty and asked if anyone had called in about lights in the skies over that area for the last week on the early evening of Dec. 8th, and had mentioned to her several cars were stopped looking at the lights in the sky, she checked her log and nothing was called in for that period. The following is both the post from main witness and our conversation through messaging on Facebook on the encounter. FRI. December 8, 2017, at 6:36pm · "There were several in the sky as we drove into Independence this evening but this one was HUGE and people were pulled over watching it. I need to keep a camera in the car because my phone just doesn't cut it." SAT. December 16 2017 7:46 pm "Hey, I'm afraid I can't really give you a lot of info about this sighting(s). We live in Buena Vista about 7-miles south of Independence and we see different craft with various light formations. The most common is as described in the second message you sent me. They are either clusters of red lights or actually appear to be in a square or rectangular pattern. There are others that are clusters of both red and white lights but none have green. This first pic was taken with my iPhone 5-s and I didn't even realize the image was there for several days. I didn't think it had come out. It was taken just outside of Independence, Oregon, on November 21, 2017 at 7:05 pm The next three were December 8th at 5:34 in the evening. The light at the bottom is a house. The large light in the sky state stationary for a long time while another small light (seen best in most distant pic) circled it. This last one was one of the red cluster lights but it was so far away I didn't get a great pic. This one was taken Thursday December 14th at 6:57 pm. I see these things pretty much every night so should you ever want to come down with a good camera I would be happy to point them out. Sorry I can't offer more information." SUN December 17, 2017 1:35PM "Hey, the saucer shaped one (I swear I can see faces in it) was taken from Buena Vista road (they all were) I was close to the community of Buena Vista and facing north. There is a small range of hill there and consistent activity over them. They would be in far South Salem area but are north of Buena Vista. It's so hard to judge distance, not knowing the size but that night I thought it looked like, "a big one" so he stopped the car and took the picture. Now as I look at it, I'm feeling as though it was much closer than I thought and smaller than I was thinking. This one had a combination of red and white flashing lights and I did not notice the shape until I saw the picture. The other two were also taken from Buena Vista Road only they were moving slowly from just south of Independence, over to BV and then across the Willamette River heading towards Jefferson. Each time my partner is with me. I mean it when I say we see then almost every night. We are both spiritualist who work with a variety of clients, primarily as spiritual counsels. I am not surprised that you know others who have seen them. Honestly, we've been shocked that more people don't because as I mentioned they seem to appear very regularly. I do find an interesting correlation in our work and their constant presence in our skies around our home. I know that sounds crazy to many but.... what can I say...lol I'm going to try and take a little better camera out this evening and see what I see I hope I answered your questions. Have a great day!" SUN December 17, 2017 9:35pm "Just returned from our nightly trip to Independence and unfortunately I wasn't able to get a pic of the one we saw tonight. It was the square light pattern in the same area, north of Buena Vista. I see this next week is supposed to be clear and cold, which should be nice viewing conditions. I'll keep you posted on what we see." WED. December 20, 2017 7:42pm Recieved a call from witness on this day. I went on to ask some specific questions about the sightings. As the witness had seen these strange lights on several occasions, the most objects at one time was 3. One large light in the sky had small lights circling it. At one point beams of lights seemed to connect the smaller ones with the larger object. The encounters were silent, no sound was from the objects. Military helicopters were seen and heard in the areas on one occasion. There was also a surge in power outages in the area. On the December 8th sighting, besides the 2 witnesses that had pulled over to the side of the road, three other vehicles had also stopped and individuals exited their vehicles to watch the lights. The main witness did mention that he could see 'figures' in the windows of one of the craft. Witness estimated the closest craft was maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile in distance. The longest duration of any of the sightings was estimated at about 15 minutes. Investigator's closing notes. I am familiar with that area in the Willamette Valley, farm land, cattle, small ranches, logging and a country community. For years I have heard stories and even myself witnessed un-explained lights in the Falls City vicinity in 1979. So, this area of the Willamette Valley has been a 'hot spot' of un-explained lights in these areas for years. What is interesting about this witness report is the square windows and or lights seen in their encounter. When I just posted a photo on my Facebook of one of the photos, another cousin came forward and said he had seen some lights that same week in December, either the 5th or 6th hovering out over Salem as he was looking west. What is intriging about his sighting was that he mentioned 'square lights' just as the witness in this report did. (My cousins report will be filed later this week) Military bases in Oregon. Kingsley Field, Klamath Falls, Or. home of the 173rd Fighter Wing. They fly the F-15c, as does Portland Air National Guard out of the Portland International Airport. Home to the 142nd Fighter Wing. Coast Guard Air Staion, North Bend, Or. Search and Rescue... their aircraft is the Mh-65c helicopter. Umatilla Army Depot, Umatilla, Or. this base is projected to be completely closed by 2021 as their permit expires that year. No flying mission. Mount Hebo Air Force Station, Hebo, Or. Home to the 689th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron. This operation closed down in 1980. The military does fly training missions all over Oregon, as in my region near Klamath Falls, the F-15's do day and night time training. So, what did these people witness? Doing some research I came across a drawing done by a grandmother from Florence, Or. Her encounter from March 9th, 2015 witnessed by her and her grandson is uncanny in its similar appearance with the 'square windows'. This was on www.midnightinthedesert.com website. Another article written by Tyler Rogoway twitter.com/Aviation_Intel, November 15, 2017 reads; "Airliners and F-15s Invovled in Bizarre Encounter with Mystery Aircraft over Oregon." This article stirs speculation as to what was in the skies on Oct. 25, 2017 as an object was seen between California and Oregon border and involved multiple pilot eyewitnesses. Confirmations between both FAA and NORAD that it did occur. Another article by Jamie Seidel November 16, 2017, with the News Corp Australia Network wrote about the incident also. As did Micah Hanks on November 17, 2017. On the National UFO Reporting Center website, a photo from Rosarito Beach, Baja California, Mexico, Tuesday, December 12, 2017 @ 8:30 p.m is similar in the light formation also. On November 23, 2017 I wrote the Public Affairs office

Prior to this sighting, their were 2 other sighting prior (Sept.04-17, Oct.2017) The sighting in Sept. was 1 mile away from my present sightings. It was witnessed buy me, my cousin, & my 21yr.old son. The 3 of us tried to make sense & find a logical explanation to what we were seeing. A quick summary of what I seen; 3 bright white balls following all 3 of us in the woods at my cabin located approx. 1m from present sightings. When they started to get to close to us we got very aggressive & they backed off real quick. We couldn't understand how these objects moved in a straight formation through the woods. Once they were far enough away,it looked like they turned left to right & all we seen was; a pink a ultraviolet mist of light being sprayed above the tree tops. There were no beams of light coming from any of these objects. My present sighting has a lot more detail & some similarity plus things that can not exsplane.

My spouse and I were going on a walk with our dog around the track at Woodway Elementary. As we approached the rounded end of the track the UFO very slowly and very quietly - mostly silent - moved overhead going from North to South. It was what felt like only a stones throw away, maybe 50 ft above moving through low hanging fog. My spouse and I stopped walking and both agreed it was not just a plane leaving from Paine Field. It was dark and difficult to see the shape, but had red lights on the bottom in the shape of a circle, which also was a confirmation it was not a plane. I want to stress again, the speed at which the UFO was moving was extremely slow, and seemed to be only about 5 MPH or less as it went directly over us. Our dog sat down at our feet, and we all looked upwards. My spouse and I were both nervous, and held hands. As the craft moved South through the low hanging fog, the fog was very thick at one point almost completely covering the view from the lights. As it emerged from the other side of the fog into clear view again, it had shape-shifted into the shape and full appearance (lights and everything had changed) of a commercial airplane, was moving much faster, appeared much higher in the sky, and continued onwards South in a straight flight as if it were simply an airplane flying over from Paine Field. Over the years, I have shared this experience confidently with others who either agree it sounds like we had a close encounter with a UFO, but some non-believers think I’m eccentric and exaggerating. What I saw that night was very clearly not an airplane, and I knew immediately it was magical or otherworldly as it was so low, and so slow. I will remember it forever and hope to one day see something like it again.

Closely around 3am I hear the sounds of jet afterburners roaring. Not usually strange event. 30 minutes later I realise that the sound of jet engines is still there and growing louder. Somethings wrong. Outside I go with weapons in hand. Understanding nature of warfare. Once outside to the north I hear full engagement of some kind of emp weapon over and over and over. Sounds of airial battle I can only compare to star wars scenes for lack of any known event before. Situation is continuing with 1 more flyby of ultra highflying jet as the afterburner roar into the west again for another 30 minutes. After the "jet" passes emp sounds end. Daylight starts to break and a white saucer cloud slowly drifts into view from east to dead north in view. The craft/cloud explodes upward in series of layers like a nuclear bomb. Just barely starting to see blue skies of mourning as these rings expand outward and away from the "event"before it really registers in my mind this cloud of oily mist stings my check. I snap out of amazement and run indoors out of the fog mist. I'm certain 100% of event with hard evidence reported citywide. My girlfriend 3 blocks away tells me of oil drops covering her car before I say a word. Oddly it was the start of a 2 week deep freeze that night.
