Oxford, MI
Five orange lights were seen rising in the western sky. The lights rose very quickly with individual ones disappearing periodically possibly due to cloud cover. Two of the lights moved quickly in a southerly direction. Then suddenly, the lights were gone. The entire visualization lasted about 10 minutes. I was able to get one photo using a 10 megapixel Nikon camera. I zoomed in on two images in the photo and will send the it. One object appears to be a red orb and the other a white cigar shape. Another image showed a red and white cigar shaped object.

There was a bright orange line in the sky, not very big. If you held your thumb out full extension, it would be approximately the size of the tip of your finger. It was an orange faded color in the back, and three bright orange specks inside of the faded orange. Object stayed stationary, disappeared after approximately 2 minutes The lights did not flash, nor did the object move. So it could have not been a civilian aircraft.

Chariton, IA
I witnessed an event, myself, two moving lights, becoming three, moving from the west heading southeast. It was at 5:21 am 10/8/2014, I was outside my second floor apartment on the flat roof in back of the building. The event lasted 7-8 seconds. I had been awake since 4 am. I was watching the eclipse. It was dark out. The two lights were white-ish blue-ish, moving fast from my right to my left, above the rooftop of the building south of mine. I thought it was strange, so since I had my binoculars (eclipse) I put them to my eyes and what I saw was like nothing else. I first noticed there were now three lights, in between and in the back of a cigar shaped object. It was moving fast and quiet. That lasted only two seconds, then it was gone. As I lowered my binoculars it was out of sight.

Las Vegas, NV
Since it was night, I couldn't tell if if was one UFO or a string of them all at same altitude and speed. I quickly pointed it out to him and he was able to see them in a fleeting moment and then it vanished. We both saw a very long line of lights that was visual only for 10-20 seconds in Las Vegas.

Pitts, GA
Taking pictures of the moon and caught clear picture of cylinder shaped cigar shaped craft, after looking at the rest of the pitures, my wife and I found a green cylinder pointing down, and a gold saucer. there is also several other small looking objects. I think they are craft from the cylinder craft. I have the pixs to prove my case, and would be glad to show them to investigators.

Pitts, GA
My wife and I were at her aunts house visiting. I went outside to look at the stars, the moon and stars were brivht so I decided to take a picture of the moon. I have the new LG G3 phone, it has 534 megipixcils p.s.i, The most of any phone, and it proved it! I was looking At the screen as I took the pix, and I instantly saw the craft on the screen when the camera on my phone took the pix. What the hell was that I said to myself, I looked at the picture and there was a small check looking mark just above and to the left of the moon. I enlarged the picture and there was a Cigar shaped craft. I instantly started taking more pictures of the moon and the sky around it. I saw in my screen a couple more objects. I just keep taking pixs. I end up with a couple more pixs of cigar looking craft and what I think is a gold looking saucer! I HAVE the pictures to prove it, and will be glad to show it to and investigater. I will not give the picture to anyone! Ive been waiting, and trying very hard to catch them on camera, But everytime I see one its gone befofe I can get a picture. its the most exciting thing in the wrold. You can tell people and they act like they dont belive it or just dont care! I do not understand it!

First .. Time of picture on camera was 11:10am, United States time. Adding 6 hours for Italian time the actual time of the picture was 17:10pm. I was visiting the Verrazzano Castle in Tuscany, Italy, on a bus tour and was doing some random picture taking of the beautiful countryside while walking to the castle entrance. I DID NOT notice the three objects in the picture until I offloaded the pictures after returning to the United States on October 10, 2014. There are three object showing in the picture, one a "cigar" shape having a dense center area with a less dense area near the edges. There is a protuberance showing from the top of the object and possibly on from the bottom. The other two objects are possibly "smaller" in size and disc shaped? with the lower object also having a similar protuberance when magnified. The other object may also have a protuberance but not sure. The two smaller objects are black and the larger object has a black center are with graying outer areas. Clear sky.

Portland, TN
2 white cigar shaped aircraft flying opposite directions. No wings visable. No sound. No contrails. Clear skies. Unsure of altitude. Other witness looked up and asked what are those? Caught my attention and we began conversing. Didnt look like planes. My Dad was a pilot, so very familiar with identifying specific aircraft in sky at many altitudes. Had witnessed the same days before, just one craft... But figured light was playing some sort of optical illusion. They were flying at a normal aircraft speed it seemed, but dissapeared into sky quicker than a normal aircraft would.

Mississauga (Canada), ON · Canada
Me and my friend were heading north in Mississauga towards Orangeville, where there is lots of farmland and empty space. When we were at around Winton Churchill Blvd and Steeles Ave, I noticed in the sky what I thought was a comet or something similar. It looked like a plane contrail except it was heading downwards, and it was very, very white. Like, there was a large white cloud covering a good portion of the sky behind the object, but this stood out noticeably. What first brought to our attention that this was not contrail or a comet was the fact that it didn't dissipate or move separately. Instead, the entire thing would occasionally move down a bit (though this may have been because we were travelling towards it, but it did look like it was moving on its on). The closer we got, the brighter the object would become. The distance from our car to the object I would estimate between 5-8km. As we were heading further north we lost track of the object because of the trees blocking our view. When we arrived at the destination, we went out in the back to see if we could find the object. In total, I would say we lost the object for about a minute and a half. Where we were now would have been closer to the object, to the point where I was expecting to see detail. However, it was nowhere around us, and was instead very far off in the distance. I can't stress enough how far away this object became. It went from being a very large white object in the sky, to a very bright dot off in the horizon. As we viewed it, we noticed it occasionally moving sporadically in all directions, but not going too far. I took a picture at this time but all that it shows is a very faint bright white dot (it was much more visible in person). I took a video too but the quality is extremely poor and it is pretty much impossible to see the object. I didn't think to take a picture earlier, because at that point we weren't really convinced it was anything too unusual. I have to specify how far of a distance this object must have traveled when we lost track of it. It wen't from being completely still in the skies (aside from possibly moving down slightly every so often), to being almost unnoticeable in barely over a minute. I can't even guess how far it must have traveled in that time.

Then another craft came, heading south in direction of first craft. He took three pictures, and said he saw the craft in his phone when he took the picture but they did not show up when we looked at them later. This definantly was not a plane, blimp, or someone's toys. I understand we aren't supposed to give our name or contact info, but I'm sure y'all can trace this back to me. Please, can u tell me what this was? Thank u

Hello! First of all I am a non-beliver in UFO, I watch sometimes shows about it and I thought is some advanced technology made by humans. But today I was with my wife on Stoney Trail, Calgary coming from Northeast towards Southweast. The day was sunny,a beautiful day,while I was driving,my wife observed 2 objects very far on the sky kinda close to where the sun was located and she told me(i was driving) : "....hon,look in the sky the two shinny big objects connected...." that time she caught my attention.The object that I observed was kinda "cigar shape" and it was over 20 Km distance from us.The object was so huge and fast,very fast.It had a strange shinny look,like the light was comming from inside,not a reflection of the sun.I saw it for maximum 1 minute then in 2 - 3 seconds became smaller and vanished in thin air.Me and my wife were surprised by the size and speed. The time was arround 11 am. We started to look at airplanes to see if is worthed to report this. All airplanes look totaly diferent in the sun reflection for all sizes.

Plain Dealing, LA
App. alt. 15,000ft - speed 500mph (best guess) - no sound, no wings - flight path north west by south east. Craft was complete light, a bright yellow that seemed to have a source from front and back that met in the middle. Slightly overcast with sun very low & setting so I don't believe the color was reflection. It looked to me to be self contained light & color. Length to width ratio seemed to hint it would not be a very fast craft.

Staring out window to east, a long vertical shape about 10 miles away 30,000 feet moving slowly vertically Flashing white light the full length of the object seemed to be spinning counterclockwise and flash came after every spin. Didn't move away, just up slowly. Could not get good video through window. Very bright light to see on a sunny day. Lived here 50 years have seen every type of aircraft didn't fit any I have seen.

Mount Shasta, CA
Sometime between 9/11/2014 and 9/27/2014, I was out in my back yard at the table with two friends. I looked up and became aware that the approaching “jet” in the N/S flight route, did not appear to have wings. So I said something to my friends, who seemed unimpressed.. and kept on talking. It was fairly high and I had time to go in the house and get my binoculars and camera. I looked through the binoculars and said, yep, no wings, and again tried to get my friends interested, to no avail. I then got the camera out and I had to zoom all the way out. Took a picture when it was closer and about to start going away. It was to the extreme east hand side of the regular N/S flight route. I don’t know why my friends would not get interested. I don’t know why I forgot the sighting until I was looking back through photos and came across it. Funny thing is, everything before it is date stamped, and everything except the one right next to it, is date stamped. There is a gap from 9/11 to 9/27. No lights, no windows, no writing, dark colored. Just came into sight, flew by, and out of sight. Total duration: 5 to 7 minutes? No sound. No other aircraft seen. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

A few weeks ago,I viewed an image online that reminded me of a photo i took 8 years ago. I had been photographing a large flock of young crows...hundreds of crows. Ritual-like large flocks twice a year...June and September chase the Black Wooly bear Caterpiller. They flock, dive to the ground and scoop one up then rejoin the flock. I know...very odd. The flock was moving rapidly SW above my roof maybe 150' up. I was using a NIkon 830L digital camera...(basic point and click...fully automatic). Once the birds were gone, i uploaded the images to my desktop. A month or so later i was going through the images and found two that were definitely not birds. The first image was blue sky with the roof-line of my porch roof in the upper left corner. The birds had already crossed the roof-line and were out of camera range. It turns out I clicked 2 imaged like that. To the right of that roof-line there is a white stick in a hazy white ball and to the left of that at about 10:00 there is another hazy white object. Above and slightly to the right of the stick are 3 more hazy white balls. In the center of the top edge there is what appears to be part of another white hazy ball. In the 2nd image you will see the white stick is out of the haze. It appears to glow and is closer to me and to the roof-line. There is another hazy white cloud in the center and the hazy white partial ball at the top edge is slightly larger. Not knowing what i had, I opened each image in my photo software (PhotoScape freeware). FIrst I amplified the contrast, then changed from color image to black and white. Then finally reversed Black & White. The results are the 3rd and 4th images attached respectively. The result of the editing shows several other objects in both photos, including a large object in the center of the 2nd image releasing hundreds of objects into the atmosphere. In the lower right of the last Reversed Black and White image is a triangular shaped craft, which i suspect to be one belonging to the US fleet. This incident and the images has been reported to MUFON. Their preliminary response was that nothing depicted in the images are conventional aircraft or balloons; nor do they know what the objects are. I contacted NASA Science Directorate as well and they requested I forward copies of the photos. I have had no response from NASA-SD yet. I have also posted these images on several social media sights for comment.

This was early evening. Still daylight. Cigar shaped glowed white. Moved in a southwest direction in a verticle position. Object appeared to have very small wing like objects on its side. The object did not move fast, but at a slower pace. Husband said it appeared to be larger than a 747.

Kemah, TX
Driving east during morning commute. These objects appeared to hover in the same spot in the sky. There was a distinct line of clouds under the objects. They both reflected the morning sun on the same side and were floating at the exact same angle. They stayed offset to one another. It was difficult to gauge distance and scale but they appeared to be big, high in the sky and at least six miles away. They were visible in the same spot for at least five minutes and my drive turned me away from them. I could not recall ever seeing anything like them. My phone pics do not do justice. They were not orbs but had clearly defined edges.

A saw a dark colored Cigar shaped UFO at approxiamently 7:30pm. I noticed towards my right the clouds looked similar to a UFO so i glanced at it for a few seconds. It was dark out; but, not quite dark yet and the clouds were darker than the sky. As i began to seat myself, I noticed something moving across the sky in front of me. My eyes were glued in wonder as it moved with glee across the atmosphere traveling left. It didn't make a noise which is why i almost didn't see it. It blended in with the sky like a 3D effect or maybe 4 or 5D. Whatever that means. I could not believe what i had seen. It was like it defied gravity and that IS what it did. It was amazing and wonderful to see. It moved through the sky like that was what it was supposed to do. Like nothing could tell it nothing. As if it owned the sky!! And there were no lights which made it even more unable to see. It was so smooth. IT DID NOT MAKE A SOUND!!! I am truly amazed. I thought I would never see this... I always "knew" they were true!! I now have my proof!! Case is closed. I was like, "What is that?" It was moving so fast but not like super fast just gracefully fast. I knew it couldn't be a plane or helicopter. Birds are that that big and it did not flap. I only saw it for maybe 5 or 6 seconds. I looked on for maybe 10 seconds more but i couldn't see it anymore though i tried. It vanished into the clouds and blended in so well. It was gone!! I did not want it to be. I knew it was gone. It was there. RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF MY EYES and it was gone!!! I cannot believe my eyes!!! I can not identify what it was and so is I have actually saw an UFO!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!
