While leaving Super Walmart with my family there was a dark storm cloud to the north of us, as I looked up to towards the bottom the dark cloud and blue sky meet I saw an object hovering between the dark cloud and blue sky.. I showed my wife and she said she could see it but she is very skeptical to ufo/alien sightings.. I've only vet seen this once before when I was a child but no rain cloud..

I saw 2 very bright blue lights in the sky, I thought It was a plane at first, then two red lights suddenly came on making a red, blue, red, blue pattern. I thought ok maybe helicopter, but it shot straight up inthe air at a rate of speed I've never seen a helicopter go. Then all lights went out, a white light came on and it shot back down just as quickly out of my sight. I yelled to my husband and ran further down my yard to see if I could see it again, by this point the white light is out red and blue are back on it shot down again but this time it shot diagonally. My husband and I saw this. After shooting diagonally, it shot straight back down at an unbelievable speed and disappeared out of sight behind houses.

Wife and I driving up Hosmer St heading north. Cigar shaped silver object flying low and slow from west to east. Due to trees, it was only in sight for less than a minute. No sound. Possibly the angle didn't allow us to see wings. I am 70 but I have excellent vision. I saw it so briefly it was difficult to judge the altitude and speed ... also had to keep my eyes on the road. My first guess was that it was a drone of some sort. Seemed too large to be a remote. My wife is 67 and she concurs with this report.

I Officer Lawson was doing security checks at our local industrial park and notice alight in the sky. I stop my patrol vehicle and saw a light in the Northwest sky and it was stationary at first and when I cut my head lights off and started to get out of the vehicle a smaller object appeared under it " looked a lot alike after burners on a fighter jet" but there was no noise the larger object started moving Southeast and as it pass there was no noise and i saw two large lights one behind another the other object went under the bigger one and straight up. I watch the smaller object dance around and even saw a what looked like a passenger jet. the object was stationary until the jet got close and then it started to dance around again and stopped after the jet went under and by it. Then I started climbing until in looked like a star.

Just a bit after dusk, I was sitting at my backyard table in Alliston, Ontario. My backyard faces south looking over a farmer's field. I noticed a cigar shaped (horizontal) object which was heading West at a very rapid rate. The object had very bright yellow lights (not flashing but solid). It was travelling very fast and only lasted perhaps 5 seconds before vanishing. I jumped up and ran to the edge of my yard, but there was no more sign of it. It was not too high in the sky and at first I thought it might be either a comet or a drone. There was no tail or trail behind it and since the lights were solid, I discounted both of these ideas. While looking for similar pictures on the net for the last few days it closely resembled a picture taken from Mexico in May 2013.

I was swimming in the pool, then while in the water I looked up into a very clear blue sky. I noticed that there was no air traffic in the area. After a minute or two I spotted a white shape moving slowly, possibly cigar shaped. I watched carefully as it moved in an Eastward direction, slowed and came to a stop and appeared dissolved into then air, in the matter of a few seconds. The entire sighting lasted about 15 seconds. After about a minute or two of vanishing from sight a couple of regular airplanes flew approximately in the same location at various altitudes, which gave me a very good reference as to the difference in the esthetic of what I was seeing.

It was not traveling as fast as a meteorite nor did it look like one. I have seen many meteorites in my life. The object made no sound. It traveled behind a tree and I lost sight of it. It was difficult to judge the distance of the object but it was about the length of the moon but only about one fifth the height of it. The night is clear with no visible clouds.

On Wednesday, August 13, 2014, i witnessed a flying craft approximately 1200 to 1500 ft long traveling between two clouds in where i live in Sacramento, California. In the sky at that time there was only two clouds visible and i was walking out my door and something caught my eye and i looked in that direction to see this sight. The craft appeared to be internally lighted as a light bulb would look with a lamp shade around it. The two clouds appeared to be around a half a mile from each other and the craft flew slowly from one cloud to the other. When i first saw the flying craft it was already out from behind or in the first cloud and was making its way towards the second one in a very slow fashion almost stopping several times before proceeding forward. This craft was huge and i got the feeling it wanted me to see it and almost seemed to be giving me a show if that makes any sense. I stood there in my back yard and watched this craft make its way to the other cloud for at least two minutes and just before it reached the second of the two clouds it cloaked and disappeared completely right before my eyes. I want to make it perfectly clear that this craft didn't disappear in the cloud or behind it. It disappeared before reaching the second cloud.I beleieve it wanted me to see it and was making sure i witnessed the event. I have no idea why I walked out into me back yard when I did and I had no reason to do so. The craft i saw was cigar shaped, pinched at the ends slightly. No noise could be heard coming from the object and was completely silent. The time of the incident was 9:30am and the sky was completely clear except for the two clouds the object was clearly using to hide itself in although this object could park right over your house in broad daylight and you would never even know it was there. I am just puzzled that this sighting was not reported in the news at all because it was so visibly clear and so massive in size and the time of day it was. Concidering this object was clearly visible in the capitol of California it should have been seen by literally thousands of people but never even was reported in the news.

Couderay, WI
8/8/14, just after midnight. I'm in a heavily wooded and remote area of N.W. Wisconsin. I noticed this outside. Object moved very slow down and to the North. So slow, it wasn't perceivable. But over the 15 minutes I watched it, it did move down below the tree line and to the North a bit. Lost it below the trees. To the naked eye, it was a dot that was changing colors. But through the binoculars, it looked cigar shaped, like a plane fuselage, with colors moving on it. No noise was heard. The lights were red, blue, green and yellow occasionally. The nearest airport is closed at night, so they won't be any help. I have video, which I uploaded to youtube. I have not finalized the upload. If you think that is a bad idea, let me know. Otherwise, I really want you to see it.

I was sitting in the attic of my garage playing a keyboard that sits in front of a large window. I stopped playing to look at the sky when I noticed I could see the moon in the daylight, and it looked quite beautiful. As I'm looking at the sky, I get the bright idea (influenced by an internet forum) to pulse a laser into the sky as it is rumored to attract strange craft. Not believing this in the slightest, I pulsed the light about 10 times in a few seconds. I then noticed a craft slowly flying across the sky to the lower right of where I had shined the laser (at least a couple of miles in the air). When I saw the craft I immediately ceased to use the laser, as I was unsure as to if it was a plane, and the last thing I need is to cause a pilot some distraction. I continued to watch it fly across the sky from west to east at speeds a typical airliner would be flying. The intriguing part was that I could see no wings, no tail fin, and no discernible markings that you can usually see on airliners as they fly in the area. As the craft moved further east, my opinion that it was an airliner went out the window as a large electric-blue ball of light quickly appeared behind the craft, and then in disappeared entirely. The sky was crystal clear in all directions, and at the speed and direction it was flying, it should have continued to be visible for at least another ~3 minutes. It simply vanished.

Me and son were outside, when large object came toward our house. As it got closer, it turned away from us, about 100 yards away. It was white shaped like large airplane, but had no wings, and made no noise. When I focused on it my eyes were blurred, like I wasn't supposed to see the tail, because I could not make out the end of this object.

Driving along a large Long White Cigar Shaped object appeared stationary at tree top level angle of about 60 degrees about one mile high and two miles + or - away. First saw object at a distance then a few minutes later saw up very close. No wings or tail. It was similar to a blimp, but white metallic and longer maybe 200 feet long. Object had what appeared to be a flattened bottom side and was fuzzy looking near end of a 4 second sighting then disappeared into tree line. Unable to find another view trees blocked out object. Wife heard me exclaim; "What the bleap is that!!" Turned around in car object was no longer visible.

Walking on boardwalk, noticed a object (dark in colour in center and lighter in colour on edges, no blinking lights) over the ocean. Noticed a second object, identical as the first. Both objects approached each other. Thought they were going to collide. Moved slowly. After they criss-crossed, they stopped, at a stand still for a few seconds. In a instance one disappeared, then the other. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Approximately 16:30, a bright, glowing, cigar-shaped (cylinder/rod-like) object observed from my bathroom window. It was silver and white color traveling east toward my house. It flew over my fence approximately 8 feet from ground level. It quickly turned due north over the pine trees and became quickly invisible. Event duration was only seconds. I immediately went outside for further observation and there was an ozone-like odor (post-rain shower smell) in the area of the occurrence.

This happened years ago...forgive me it was 2013-2015 in the summer. I am not for sure the exact month but it was nice out...summer time. I walked out the back door of my work and looked up to the west and saw a completely shiny (shiny chrome) long cylinder or I guess you could say cigar shaped. It was probably 1,500-2,500 feet up...it was clear as day...but not if you didn't have a fix on it...but when I did pick it out in the sky I could see the shape and color perfectly. It was moving north west above the mall area moving out the direction of Brookport, Illinois...that direction. It just kept moving off that direction. A coworker was there and I told him look...but he couldn't see it and I didn't want to sound dumb but I have always wondered what that was. I can still remember it clear as day. The coworker looked but could not see it and walked back in. Are our weather balloons shaped that way? It made no sound and had defined cylinder shape.. reflective chrome. I would say it was 20-30 feet long is my guess. Ya see, the wind here blows in a north east direction,..it wasn't blowing in the wind...it was headed northwest. I am submitting this because I noticed another person saw the exact same thing as me according to what I read of sightings in my town but this person saw it in 2017 years after me but they saw the same thing. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

M'Diq (Morocco), Morocco
This incident happened an afternoon during the summer of 2014. I was playing soccer at a holiday residence near the town of M'Diq, in northern Morocco. While I was having a quick break, I spotted a black spot about 10 nautical miles away from my position, at an altitude of approx. 5000 feet and below the horizon. I was an aviation enthusiast at the time and it was clear to me that it wasn't a common aircraft. I also knew that the airspace where I spotted the object was restricted due to the King's property below it (T-VFR AREA E) and no aircraft were allowed to fly through it (except the Moroccan Air Force I believe). While I was trying to make myself believe what my eyes were registering, a bunch of guys spotted it as well, confirming that it wasn't just my imagination. The black cigar-shaped object moved steadily on an eastbound direction towards the Mediterranean Sea and with no signs of acceleration or abrupt movement disappeared. It felt like a very well done fade out filming transition. Nobody said nothing and we kept playing soccer like it never happened. I'm currently a commercial pilot and I can, even more, confirm than the shape and directional movement of the craft was something that I have never seen. Weirdly enough I tend to forget this incident. I remember times where the UFO subject popped up on conversations and I couldn't remember nor share the incident. It feels like my brain tries to erase and hide this incident as if it was a traumatic experience... Another thing that I wanted to add is that that area of Morocco, between the cities of Tangier, Tetouan, and Ceuta is known for UAPs sightings. Since I was a kid I heard my elders sharing stories of 'stars moving rapidly' or 'stars dividing into little stars' and steady floating lights at night. I was always very skeptical and I always thought that they may have spotted military aircraft from the nearby USAF and RAF bases of Rota and Gibraltar, but after my own experience, my perception changed radically. As I mentioned, I'm very skeptical and the UFO matter, even with my experience, is still something that I find a hard time to believe and support. I remember judging colleagues at my air operation sharing their sightings experiences thinking that they are crazy, and that might be the reason why my brain just wants to eliminate that memory, to probably protect me from judgment and to be seen as a crazy person. I feel weird/scared to write this down and share it but I want to help people that believe and fight for the truth about this matter. Good luck
