Belleville, IN
I had just left Greencastle, Indiana, when I had just entered the Hendricks County line. Approximately 3 minutes away from Belleville, Indiana, I was driving my car on U.S. Highway 40. I looked up to see a bright star in the right of my windshield, and to the right, I saw a red/green light. At first glance it looked like a radio tower, so I thought nothing of it. As I tried to focus in on the object (while also trying to maintain position on the road), I realized that there was no radio tower in that area, nor would a radio tower reach a couple hundred feet above the treeline. I began to slow down my car so I could focus in on the object more. Considering I was the only one on the road for a little ways, I slowed down to around 20 mph. When I looked into my upper left hand side, I saw what seemed to be a blackened cigar shaped craft, with pulsing chevron red & green lights. It looked like the lights were on a conveyor belt, basically rotating around the cra! ft. As I began to speed back up, the craft disappeared. I tried to rule out, though I am not denying the fact that it is a possibility that this craft was in fact a helicopter, plane, or other perfectly normal object. However, there were no "blinking" lights like a plan, nor would a plane hover in the same spot for a few minutes. A helicopter could hover, however I would have assumed I would have heard some bit of noise. Not here, it was silent.

Very large red laser lights flying low as big as a jetliner witnessed a mile away by friend flying 100 foot above the ground.

Around two years ago my father, Eldon called and reported a ufo sighting in Ottawa, Canada. Near thanksgiving time (canada). Ever since, we have kept our eyes out for sightings. Not to long ago, I was on the phone with my father while he was driving home from work. He was about an hour ways from where I am. He tells me he sees an orange line in the sky, he tells me to go outside and look so I do so. I look around for a couple seconds and I notice it. The thin, distinct orange line was located slightly above the sun's horizon (the sun was setting at the time). The line started moving to the right for around a minute, then just stayed in place. At this point I realize that what I'm looking at is not a jet, the line stayed the same size and remained very thin. Then, after the line sitting in place for around 10 seconds, another line from the same line started moving to the left. So, you have the same line remaining in the same spot, and then another line moving to the left away from that line. Now, the two lines were apart. At a bit of a faster speed then they were separating, the two lines start getting closer and closer together and now they are combined into one line again. At this point, I run inside to get my mother and we get outside and its still there in the sky, in the same spot. A couple seconds later, it slowly fades away. The line/lines are gone now. When they faded away, I also saw sort of like a magnetic force shot up through the sky. Thank you for reading my report.

I was stopped at a red light when I saw a dark shape in the clouds. At first glance I thought it was a group of birds flying together, but as it came closer, I noticed it was a cigar shaped oval. It was black, or appeared black because it looked as though it was behind the clouds. It was weaving back and forth at an alarmingly fast rate. It almost looked like it was turning, but I couldn't tell if it was turning away from me, side to side, or all the way around. There was a big light on the under side of it. As the light changed to green, I quickly pulled over, but by the time I got out of my car, I couldn't see it anymore. Other people were looking and pointing up at the sky, but I didn't stop to talk to them. I was the only witness that I'm aware of. I'm not a believer. I'm a full-time straight-A Veterinary Technician student and a very logical, rational thinker. But what I saw cannot be explained.

I first caputured it facing south west and recorded it until it headed due west. Light was so bright you could even see it through the clouds as it was passing through. in the clouds it also changed to oranges and reds. Perhaps reflecting the sunset but unsure.. Then it slowly moved down and came down over the trees due west.

Burke, VA
On Saturday, November 29, 2014, at approximately 11AM (est), while driving NW on Lee Chapel Rd in Burke, VA, I saw what looked like a Learjet flying ahead of me appearing from the right at a very fast speed heading to my left. With tall trees on both sides of the street along my pathway, I had a clear view for about 3 to 5 seconds. What made this unusual were a couple of things: 1) The object was flying very low and going down in what I would describe as about 10,000 feet when first coming into view from the right and at about 7,500 feet when going out of view to my left. 2) The nose of the object was at about a 170 degree angle up and the tail equally down as it went by, descending. 3) I immediately rolled down my window and did not hear a thing. I drove slowly half expecting to hear an explosion but heard nothing. As I continued on the road I looked at other drivers to see if anyone else was acting like they saw what I saw. I started to wonder if perhaps it may have been a radio controlled kit, but the field of vision would have made the object out of visible range from any natural place to fly one (residential area, crossing fairly busy road). I turned on my radio to the local all news station expecting another 9-11 or plane crash ‘happening now’ breaking story but heard nothing. I Googled when I got home to see if anyone else posted about it but found nothing. After thinking about it some more an hour or so later, I decided it was way to obvious that I saw something out of the ordinary and decided to check online for where to report it. This lead me to the National UFO Reporting website. I am also sending an illustration I am putting together to clearly visualize what I saw.

I was outside and I saw no clouds. I thought that it was weird for the past few days so as I look to my right I saw it clear as day but no sound. That's when I call some one else to witness that what I saw was what I saw a long kind of round at the tips cigar shaped thing with a black band. I + one heard nothing it left no smock and waited a while later but no sound yeah don't know what it is but um I just don't know I'm looking up from now on.

Bright multi colored image in the eastern part of sky moving erratically with flashing lights. Then after about an hour one image turned west moving very quickly no sound & large with flashing light - it was definately not a plane - moving too fast.

My sighting occured 11-20-14. I have one of those quad rotor helicoptors with a go pro camera. I live in Minnesota, next to Interstate 35, in a small community. That day I was practicing with the coptor on the edge of town. What I saw was a cylinder shaped thing. Featureless. Completly smooth. The finish on the surface was like smooth chrome. Almost mirrored in appearance. No wings. No external any thing. The way it moved. Its motion, seemed like I was watching a blimp move along. It was very slow. I saw it first directly east of my location, almost right above me, traveling north. I thought what the... At that point i took my eyes off of it to manuver the coptor in its direction. To get it on the gopro. It was very difficult to vissually relocate. But i was able watch it continue on in its northerly direction. It then just faded. It blended with its surroundings. It was an orange sunset that evening. The sun was low on the horizon. And the thing had a haze around its lower half. I was seeing orange light of the sunset reflecting off the surface of it through that haze. No noise. I do have the video, but it doesn't show up. So...

As myself and two other coworkers were driving home today we saw 3 cigar shaped objects in the sky. I was on the phone with my mother, which wanted pictures. I pulled over on the side of the road and took two pictures of the three cigar shaped objects. I got back in the car and started to drive down the road to get a better picture. About a minute and a half down the road the three objects disappeared into thin air as if they weren't ever there. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

One person in vehicle saw 2 crafts. The other 3 only saw a blue light around vehicle, but all saw crafts flying away. We lost 3 minutes time We suspect that the alleged incident occurred at 22:51 hrs., not 10:51 a.m.. PD

Large, white plane like craft with no visible windows, but very skinny. The end of the wings pointed upward and there were two very small engines on tail. It was moving very slowly directly in front of my car and seemed very low for its size. No noise but I was inside my car with windows rolled up. The way it was flying was very strange because the wings were moving in a way that looked like it was floating. I suspect it was some sort of drone but I am unsure.

As my wife and I sat in our garage just after midnight we noticed one particularly bright light in the sky at about 60 degrees in the sky from our vantage point. We didn't think much of it until it had been there for well into 20 minutes. We began watching it and comparing it to its location above the neighbors house to the east for matter of reference. During the time we watched this light we saw it zig back and forth in the sky. While it did not move around a tremendous amount, the movement was still noticeable. Also, at times the light would pulsate slowly, rarely changing from a white light to red then back to white. After watching this light move for nearly an hour we looked southeast and discovered another light in the shy that also was moving erratically in the sky. The first light we saw moved toward in the sky to nearly 80 degrees and became noticing dimmer as time went on. We live in a flight path for one of the busiest airports in the US and are very accustomed to airplanes flying over. This hovered in the same general area for over an hour, moving in multiple directions during that time. We couldn't stand to be out in the cold any longer and decided to come inside before either light went out of view or disappeared.

Capitola, CA
Looking west towards San Francisco, saw this ribbon shaped object with metallic ends that reflected off of the Sun. Another smaller craft flew around it once then disappeared. Watched this for 20 minutes move from one side of the sun ( from our perspective) seemed to go towards and Over San Francisco, then Silicon Valley. Its orientation changed as moved through the sky. The altitude of the Object was above jet traffic and the chemtrails being laid down today over Santa Cruz. It could have been a Mile or so long but so hard to judge. It seemed to get higher, re-oriented and left our sight. Have 11 pictures. The ends were highly metallic and shined brightly in the Sun and the ribbon-like structure in between was white but also highly reflective. You can see the ends clearly are structured when you zoom in on these images. Also viewed with nice Binoculars it was brilliant ... . 5 witnesses.

I called over my CB radio to see if any other truck drivers were seeing this as well. To my surprise one got back to me saying he was watching it too for about 30 seconds. It was overcast skies so I don't feel any airplanes would be flying that low with that weird set of lights.

I saw a small. silver, cigar shaped craft, slowly flying in front of Mt. Elden, heading to the south east. It was like a silver, oblong, oval, capsule moving slowly enough, it mimicked the speed of a hang-glider. It continued heading southeast, for about 4 and half minutes, until I looked away for a second and it was gone. I had seen similar shaped things, a couple of weeks prior, only at night and going in the opposite direction heading north west in the night sky and then slowly truning to the south west and disappearing. They were lit up silver, cigar shaped and there were 3 of them. At the time, I didn't think much about it, but now, having seen another one in the daylight, I kind of confirmed it for myself.

While moving, an orange glowing piece fell out of it and continued to fall to the ground a ways a way. This exact this happened twice within thirty minutes.

While taking photos of Finger Rock, a white cigar shaped object stayed in between a gap in the peak of Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Arizona. I took 5 different pictures of the same shot and the object didn't move left or right, but stayed in between the rocks and went out of sight without going behind the mountain. There were no clouds in the sky at that time.

Object was observed from beach looking westward toward sunset. Photographed object with 200mm lens in RAW (images available). Zooming in on object showed that the center was hotter than the ends. Object then faded quickly from view about 15 minutes after sighting.

120 degrees SE of 30°20'34" N 91°7'60" W A tall, stationary, upright cigar shaped object that had multiple flashing lights that flashed at quick intervals. I could not make out a shape, but the object did not seem to move at all and I couldn't find anything on my star viewer app that corresponded to the location of the unidentified object. I just looked on http://www.radarbox24.com/ to see if there are any current flights in that direction according to the FAA, but the nearest flights are JBU775, between Slidell, LA, and New Orleans, and a BLOCKED flight from Santa Monica coded C25B, which is currently E by SE of Lafayette, LA. Neither planes are within the visual field where I spotted the UFO. I made a short video of the object with a point and shoot camera, but the focus was poor.

At exactly 1:15 pm today I was lying in my easy chair looking at the sky, I saw a strange object very high in the sky. The object was long ( bus shaped) silver in color, no sound, no emission or trail. I watched it for approximately 7 minutes. I am wondering if anyone else reported seeing a strange craft in the North Georgia sky today?

A spider filament had caught my eye, but the object well behind it. What brought it to my attention was the craft seemed to be spinning end for end about it's center and it was shooting out a white plume in sort bursts that disipated quickly. I was facing almost due west, the object was relatively close to the sun in the sky, but the sun's location was essentially south of the object, The object was about 40 to 45 degrees above the horizon. The sun reflected off the object, which made it visible for the duration of viewing, giving it the appearance of metal reflecting sunlight. It appeared to straighten it's attitude to an East/West orientation but at the same time appeared to be drifitng to the North and slightly East until it disappeared from view. The spin was tight- too tight even for aerobatic aircraft. No other aircraft were immediately in the vicinity. The craft also was silent. Width to length ratio was about 1 to 15.
