I was standing outside with my wife when we witnessed several red lights traveling from North to South while appearing to shoot out a trail ahead. This happened 4 times before the objects disappeared. There was no sound or smell with these. Each of these appeared equidistant apart.

Garden City Beach, SC
We were on an Ocean Front balcony when the first lights appeared. They were two shapes on the first sighting a set of four linear round orange balls and four to five orange sphere shaped of a slightly larger size. The lights were all on and then one by one went off. They were not flashing, they were solid in color. We were stunned. We waited and about 10 minutes later they appeared a little farther south over the ocean. This time they were two separate sets of round orange lights (no sphere shaped) that were perfectly linear, a dark space of the sky separating the two, which made it difficult to tell if two objects or one large. Each linear set was made up of 4 solid huge orange balls or orbs (we think, it's kind of fading in our mind, weird) They once again went black one by one and we never saw them again. We sky watched the remainder of the week with binoculars and video cameras.

Oak Lawn, IL
I forget the exact times I saw them both. The first one I saw was at around 6:35PM and the second one I saw was at about 7:20PM. The first and second were both black and small. They both were going in directions. The first one was farther away to take a photo of. The first was super high in the sky prepared to the second one was lower. They both were moving slow at around the same speed. The second was super close and going over a house past a plane that must of took off from midway airport. I couldn't take a video of it because I was on the phone with an old friend. I told the friend who lives in Florida now when I was on the phone with him that it was going over your old house right now because he use to live in Illinois. I told him on the phone it might be just a balloon. The second one seem to chang shape a little or it was slowly rotating. I saw the first one for about 15 seconds and the second one for about 2 minutes. It felt like there was no wind outside.

Came out on my front porch after waking up. Noticed what I thought was a plane in the distance, looked like it had red lights on its under side but then when I looked again it just stopped. It got brighter, almost like it "pulsed" but then it dimmed down again. I woke my husband up, he couldn't figure it out either. It's been sitting in the same spot for almost an hour over Albany. It's far too bright, and low, to be a star.

The one to the west kept flying up and down--back and forth--like it was playing. This went on for a good 10 minutes then it finally went down into the brush and I could no longer see it. The one hovering above the mountain range disappeared behind the mountain. I got back on the road went two miles, turned right and looked to the west and there was another one hovering over a house.

I was on my back deck with my mother and law assembling a pergola. Something caught my mother-in-law's and my eyes in the sky in the eastern direction. What we witnessed were four extremely bright white orbs grouped in a triangular formation. One at each point of triangle, one perfectly in the center. The formation was slowly moving southeast completely silent. I thought it was airplanes flying in formation, but no sound, no exhaust trail. The orbs were also shimmering, almost like they were changing colors from pink to green and bright white. As they crossed the sky, they changed formation to single file.

It came east to west very slow then stopped. Just under, and to the side of, the moon. It was spinning, blue light in center and yellow electric like entry looking like spider legs projection out. It spun and then turned into a gray puff. A giant cloud which covered the entire sky came in from west to east and covered it and the moon. I have video of it changing, spinning and of cloud that came in (8 minutes long)

Taft, CA
This was not an aircraft and it was not a Chinese lantern… There was no flicker of fire or blinking lights. I estimate it was less than a quarter mile above me, and maybe the size of a yoga ball. I was able to grab my phone and snap 3 photos before it was out of view. The pictures are very interesting!! Witness indicates "Taft, Indiana" in original report. We have amended that to "Taft, California." PD

Watching the meteor shower, I noticed an extremely, twinkly object in the Eastern sky. I grabbed my binoculars to get a closer look and saw an object that I thought was stationary until it moved. It was changing colors; red, blue, green, purple, yellow and orange but in no pattern that I noticed. I went to get my kids so they could view it but they were asleep. As I watched it, it took off northbound.

Albuquerque, NM
In the morning hours of 4-27-17, a silent slow moving ball of light was seen hovering over Albuquerque and Sandia Mountains. This object changed shape multiple times, from a ball, to a diagonal formation, and even made a "v" pattern. This was not a hot air balloon, passenger jet, police or military craft. It was like a star but moved in an intelligent matter. It would even disappear and reappear until the sun came out. This same object was also seen again on 5-4-17 in the dawn hours.

So as we are walking I notice what appears to look like a dark colored plane with all the windows lit like the lights were on in the plane as soon as I told everyone to look at how huge the plane was, it spun all the way from the clouds down right in front of us within seconds. When it came down, the ufo, or what ever you want to call it, made the loudest wooshing noise there wasn't even wind but was extremely loud hovering over the houses, but maybe a couple hundred feet away from us, it stopped in mid air, it appeared to be an extremely large saucer it was long not extremely tall, but very wide and it had parallel red flashing short lights in what appeared to be the middle, to me, and long green lights out to the side. as soon as I seen it for the little amount of time that It did it spun right back up the way it came it disappeared behind the cloud and didn't see it again, but it was extremely alarming I never believed in anything of the sort I always thought people were just having fun or being weird trying to become a sensation or something, but I'm a firm believer now and very terrified it came so close to us I thought we were goners when it happened ... Mind you, the next day, I had to ride a plane, I was so scared.

I watch the skies a lot. Never see anything other than military fighters or transports here with the daily rotor craft. Tonight while taking the dogs out for the fee final time at around 253 AM, I looked east towards the adjacent skyline to notice an amber or pink/orange light in the sky. At first, I thought it was an oddly shaped planet. To my utter surprise and disbelief my eyes did not decided he and the light began to move. Then another light became evident. The two then converged and grew brighter. They appeared to be about thirty miles east over the Atlantic ocean. I would guess their altitude to be in the 10-15k ft area. Really interesting. Also of note is that the light appeared to line in the distant sky for a short time after it appeared the source had vanished. Also of note is that after the point of conference the light send to emit in a more cross like display.

Uniontown/Kent, OH
Hello I hope you are having a good night, I am the fiancé of a marine who’s MOS is Mechanics for large helicopters and planes. I am familiar with a lot of air crafts because of it. I live in Ohio. I was traveling from the Kent University campus to my parents’ house in Uniontown, Ohio. I was taking a lot of back roads and highways that cut through the countryside, it was mostly corn fields and trees with the occasional house. Neither of which was lit. I had been on the road for about 5-6 minutes after leaving the Kent campus when I saw the ufo. I first passed it off as a plane with its headlights towards me (the ufo was a fair distance away at this point so it looked small enough to be a plane) The only thing that initially made me think its flight path was weird was that it almost seemed to be hugging the tree line from far off, I thought that was low. I was stopped at a stop light at the time, and I made a choice to ignore it. But when the stop light turned green, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the object shoot across the sky at a speed I’ve never seen before, and it stopped about what I’m guessing gave it about 5 miles of distance between me and it. That fast movement scared the crap out of me. I immediately gunned it and took off down the road. I would occasionally glance around at the sky to see if it followed me because it scared me, but I thought I lost it for a while. I didn’t see it again till I turned onto the road called Switzer street in Uniontown. It was sitting dead ahead of me all the way at the end of the road. It looked like a very bright light at this point I couldn’t make out the shape of the craft because of it. I just saw the giant ball of light. At this point it was about half the size of a full moon. I gunned the gas again and made it to my parents’ house and ran inside. They knew I was coming so the door was unlocked. I didn’t tell my parents about it initially. I didn’t want them to think I was crazy but when I was leaving the house later, I asked my dad to walk me to the car because I was still unnerved. He agreed to. As we walked it showed up again between the tree line. This time my dad saw it first and told me to look in its direction. “What ((words deleted)) is that?” my dad asked, as he walked a bit closer to the edge of our property. “I think its probably just a plane.” I responded. I really didn’t want to call it a ufo at that point I was honestly freaked out and was trying to explain it away. “That’s not a plane, it’s just sitting there not moving. Planes don’t do that.” He said, exasperated. No sooner did he say that did the air craft slowly start moving so it swung around and stopped above our back yard. Still at the same far distance. My dad was spooked at that point and told me to go back in the house with him. I refused, I wanted to get back to Akron. I did not want to stay in the country side anymore. He argued with me, but eventually let me go, if I promised to call him as soon as I got back. I agreed and climbed into the car and locked the doors. I watched dad run back inside. When I looked up at the sky again the ufo was gone. It was a clear sky tonight. that shouldn't of been possible for it to just disappear like that. I felt a pit in my stomach I did not like what was going on one bit. I pulled out of the drive way, paranoid, and still watching the sky. I took off and turned on to a road called Cleveland, Heading back towards Akron. It was a few minutes before I hit my first stop light. It was a red light again. That’s when the ufo showed up again this time it was close! It was directly above the powerlines that were running up the side of the road. It turned out its big light and it was replaced with a bunch of small red and blue ones that traced the length of it. It was very long, almost cigar shaped but thinner. The lights were evenly spaced out. Thanks to the lights I could see the ship was about as big as two commercial planes put together. It had to be at least be 1000 feet in the air still. Which only leads me to believe it If it had landed, it would have been a crap ton bigger. I gunned a red light to get away from it. I didn’t see it again till I was merging on the highway. At that point it was around 10:40pm ish. I saw the same bright light as I did before, only this time it was at the same distance as it was when I first saw it. I nervously watched it, it moved out of my sight again, just as I was getting on to I77. I did not see it again. I called my dad when I got home and explained everything that happened and he gave me your organization's number and told me to report it. I was also asked by the man I talked to on the hotline to give the ufo’s point of elevation. I am not sure what that is, but I will ask my fiancé when he is off duty. He is stationed in Japan right now, and they are 14 hours ahead of us, so he’s in the middle of his work day. But I will include the point of elevation in an email along with a drawn picture of the ufo. I just need to find a printer to scan it into. I was unable to get a physical picture of the ufo because I was driving for most of this sighting. I hope this was helpful! Have a Good night!

Fort Lee, NJ
I saw it very clearly. It was a flashing object and it flashed just like a plane with some red lights. However it didn't seem like a plane because there was a real plane on the other side of the sky and it was going its typical speed. This plane however was going pretty fast and I was instantly suspicious. All of a sudden it stops and flashes this intense bright circle light. Like a white yellowish light and it got brighter and brighter and bigger and bigger. I never seen a light this bright at this scale before, it was huge. All of a sudden, another fast plane was approaching the giant light and immediately the object turned off its light and went back to flashing like a plane with red lights and left the other way. The plane that just visited once the other plane left, this did the same thing. It stopped and flashed the bright light. It stayed like that for 30 sec. Ii went to grab my phone to take a picture. When i came back it was gone. Also, I tried to look at the bright light and focus on it with my eyes, and I believe I saw 3-4 little circles within the object making that bright light.

Malibu, CA
It was a warm night in Malibu, California; I was approximately half a mile from the ocean shore and the sky was particularly clear for a Los Angeles night. Around 9:30, a friend and I went outside to hammock. Around 9:50, my friend pointed out a strange "white, but not bright" object in the sky. I looked up to see a large, floating object closer than a plane would fly. As we observed the moving object, a plane flew high above it (it was descending into LAX), meaning the unidentified object was much closer to Earth than we first realized. I would describe the sighting as not a bright white object, but a dull almost brown shape that was changing size in a repetitive pattern. It would twirl and become quite large, but get smaller as it rotated - only to be large again within seconds. I would estimate the size of it to be fifty times the size of a star from the naked human eye on Earth. Also, there seemed to be a red, glowing light from the core of the flying object. I went inside to grab some binoculars, and within three minutes the object had moved to the south east towards Los Angeles and had become much smaller, as if it was flying further away. We continued to watch it, along with a couple of other friends, as it gradually became smaller. All the while, it continued to move in the same pattern. Within several minutes, at around 10:04 pm, the object disappeared from the atmosphere. We witnessed only one object in this whole ordeal.

I was on my way to work early Monday morning, when I decided to take a picture of the moonlight, shooting upwards. Upon taking the picture, I saw an object quickly moving back and forth. It looked like a faint star. I couldn't see the object with the naked eye.

Caribbean Sea (at sea), Caribbean Sea
On April 8, 2017, I was standing on an open deck of a cruise ship headed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, from Grenada in the Caribbean Sea. At 5:28 PM, EST, I began taking pictures of the sunset over the ocean. I continued to take numerous photos until 6:31 PM. Later that evening as I was reviewing my photos, I was shocked to see an object in a frame that was taken at 6:16 PM. It appeared to be hovering on the water. It was iridescent green, hat shaped, and upon zooming in on the picture I could see bump like ridges. In subsequent frames, but not all, it appeared again higher up in the sky in different positions - several times in an orb shape, and once changing shape to what I would describe as a three quarter uneven circle with clear indentations. I showed the photos to the ship’s photographer in search of a logical explanation, thinking it must have been a lens flash from my camera. But he explained that it did not have the characteristics of same or any reflection from the sun when it appeared on the water, as it was a distinct shape. Additionally, I showed the photos to a ship’s officer. He replied that it looked alien in nature. The next morning I heard that some fellow passengers were baffled over observing something that seemed to be “darting” over the ocean the night before but they could not capture it on film. Sunday – April 16, 2017, 8:00 PM, EST, AHC (American Heroes Channel) aired a program called “UFOs: The Lost Evidence.” The entire segment was devoted to the theory, supported by evidence, some from the military, that the oceans are used as bases for UFOs. Two images shown in the television segment resembled two of my photos. One was the hat shape with ridges. Another was an object found on the bottom of the ocean suspected to be a spacecraft – that shape resembled one of my photos of the object when it was in the sky. The source of this report attempted to send photos to NUFORC, but they do not open, or perhaps were deleted from the e-mail. We have requested that she try again. We wonder whether the green objects may have been so-called "lens flares," caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. PD

Columbus, OH
While driving south on Maple Canyon (about 50 yards north of the Dublin-Granville Rd intersection) I came to a stop due to a red traffic light. A flash of white light ahead in the clear blue sky caught my eye, at first thinking it was an airplane. By judging the distance/height of the object, I would place it somewhere around 15,000 ft in the air, appearing to be about the diameter of 1.5-2 commercial airliners. The white light (circular/oval shape) became smaller (about half the size), returned to its original size, then with a flash of chrome suddenly appearing (as if turning or changing shape and reflecting sunlight possibly), a thinner flat shape became visible and without the white circular/oval light. While still stopped due to traffic, I never lost focus of the object, but it then completely vanished. No trails visible anywhere near where I witness the object, only clear blue skies. The duration of the event was 10-15 seconds.

I was driving west on US-60 on trip to Sky Harbor Airport and noticed a bright silvery cylinder shaped object over, I believe, South Chandler. I was in the distance... Based on a thin cloud bank I would place the altitude at about 8000' so it must have been large. I first saw it at the 10 o'clock position. I first thought that it was sunlight on a jet contrail, but as it became larger I thought that it may be a plane on approach to the Mesa Gateway Airport... then it began to recede to the southwest... I almost wrecked the car trying to watch it. There have got to be hundreds of witnesses, because it was very prominent... It then drifted back into the thin cloud layer and I thought it was gone, but it was bright enough to shine through... Then from a cylinder it then appeared as two equally sized globes just touching each other... I had to watch my driving so looked away briefly and thought it had moved away, but you could still see it behind the thin cloud... at one point it appeared to emit a curving smoke trail... then that stopped and the two globes began to sparkle... I again resumed driving.... the next time I had a chance to look up it was gone... There absolutely have to be other witnesses to this. It was still daylight and this thing was prominently in view. This thing was bizarre. I checked today's local news.... nothing... but then saw a video on you-tube that showed it... Only at the point where it was two globes. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Addendum to 3/20/17 submittal regarding the 3/19/17 incident... The cylinder was situated at a 30% tilt, higher side to the left. Object's length was approximately 7 times its width. US 60 runs exactly east/west... this object was at the 10 o'clock position. It was nearly sunset. There are always contrails in the very busy skies...they were all orange and this object was silvery white. The spheres that It turned into were pretty much the same width as the cylinder appearance, but occupied 1/4 the length of the original cylinder. It is possible that it was two cylinders side by side that turned so as to make it appear as two spheres... just a guess. The object stayed double-sphere in appearance until it receded to the southwest... emitted a sinuous smoke emission from the left side of the left sphere which dispersed almost immediately... the object was receding slowly... then it began to sparkle with lights brighter than the initial silvery white appear! ance… I looked away for not more than 10 seconds...when I looked back it was no longer visible. It is impossible than no one else saw this... as it was fairly large with an apparent width of your index finger at arms length at its narrowest and was slightly larger upon my initial observation. I am a major sky watcher, and I am certain this had no astronomical explanation. Bizzare… Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The two object appeared as bright as stars and then quickly changing from red, to little green lights, to heavy white lights. Almost as if someone was holding an LED flash light on your face. One moved in a horizontal straight line back and forth changing colors. The other one, remained with bright white lights and moved a little to the left and right, always horizontally. At 6:38 AM, one left and one remained till after 7AM. Since a little after 2AM they both have been hovering for many hours. ((ADDENDUM FROM ALLEGED SOURCE OF ORIGINAL REPORT)) Hello, I have additional proof to go with my report dated 3/17/2017 Rockville, MD. This lasted between 2am and 7am on the 17th. It’s definitely not a star. Let me know what you think. Best regards, ((END ADDENDUM)) Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This is a summary of what my husband and I have witnessed and observed on our home security camera system since March 17, 2017, when we first observed a strange rectangular string of very bright lights, attached to what appeared to be a metal bar, in the southwest corner of the backyard, picked by the video on camera #7. The string of lights appeared to be an ordinary light one would have in a shop; however, it is only visible on screen of the video recorder. When we look outside, the lights cannot be seen with the naked eye. This summary does not address a single sighting, but is current and on-going almost nightly since April 8, 2017, when we first began to monitor and document observations of the nighttime activities, taking place around the property on a regular basis and have replayed and captured quite a few pictures and videos, documenting what we have observed today to date. Since we first began to observe closely on April 8, 2017, it has gone to another level in terms of the entire operation. It appears that it has become an invasion of our property, now we are seeing strange creatures that cannot be described as humans as we know them. They are very small in stature, fly in appearing as birds, brightly lit all over, and changing into circles and into small creatures with human characteristics in terms of movement, but definitely not human. When they come in they appear to be carrying out what appear to be specific pre assigned tasks, prior to the larger equipment, consisting of very long strings of lights that appear to be controlled by something or someone to turn on and off periodically, as they approach the property. Initially, they were coming from the trees on the west and the north sides of the house, only. Now they are coming from the southwest most of the time, and the West and North some of the time. There appears to be space ship! s and/or aircraft type objects characteristic of but different, i.e. Smaller, but able to light up a large area when they appear. (Modes of travel) involved in the operations. Sometimes the forerunners come in as a large brightly lighted circle or rectangular object. From what we have observed, they come in as workers, here to do a job. They appear to be well coordinated and work in conjunction with the other objects as they come in. As a part of the preparation, they appear to spray an unknown substance that look like snowflakes and appear to turn into hale or sleet resembling crystal flakes. When they are in the completely screened pool area they release some type of substance into the water before the others come in. Sometimes when it rains, we see many of something dive into the pool, which is completely enclosed, with no opening, except the locked doors. They have attempted to remove the small Weber grill from the pool area unsuccessfully. It is difficult to explain what we are personally seeing because it is monumental. I must mention an incident that happened on May 6, 2017, at approximately 11:30PM when a laptop computer vanished from the reception room, while we were removing items from the car, which was parked right in from of the door. The laptop was placed on a credenza inside of the reception area; it disappeared and has not been seen since. On the morning of May 29, 2017, at 5:39AM, we were seeing family off who were taking a trip in their automobile; we were in the driveway assisting them in re-arranging some of the articles in the car to make more room. While we were outside, we did not hear or see anything or anyone, However, on replay of the video, The unidentified objects were flying all over our heads the whole time we were outside, approximately 30 minutes. I have looked for every possible logical explanation to understand what is going on. Have researched the internet on aliens, demons, religion, witchcraft, national security, etc. All I can explain is that the activities are very organized, comparable to an army, and there appears to be what I have determined to be the captain or director, who is always present. Some time they appear to conduct air shows, with precision and formation. There are concerns about water and earth contamination as well as other concern. We are looking for answers. We have looked at all of the many photos the witness has submitted to our Center, and we see nothing in them that suggests to us the presence of a UFO. PD
