Gulf Shores, AL
While standing outside on a pier in Gulf Shores, AL, on Bon Secour Bay, looking Southbound, we heard what at first we thought was an 18 wheeler with a flat driving by on HWY 180. The sound continued and grew louder, when we decided it had to be a helicopter, because we could tell it was coming from overhead. Right at that moment we saw what we THOUGHT was the helicopter come into view as it quickly continued NorthWest around the edge of the bay with an ACTUAL helicopter in close pursuit, as if it was trying to keep up or chase it away. The helicopter was also not the normal as it was not as bright as your average aircraft and had orange/red lights on it as opposed to a white light. The craft was dimly lit, with several lights lining the length of it. It moved extremely fast in a swaying motion, while the helicopter chased it. It appeared to be very dark if not black in color and long/flat in shape. At the same time, inside the house we were told by relatives that our dog was whimpering and very obviously showing concern for us being that we were outside. Another relative who was also in the house showering was so frightened and caught off guard by the type of sound and loudness, and the amount of time that it took to get out of the area, that they had to turn off the water to listen.

Huntsville, AL
It was dark disc shaped craft, had 3 green lights on the bottom, and one really big white glowing light on the back. It moved away from me, towards me, and straight up into the sky, all within a matter of a minute. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I didn't notice anything until I looked at the pictures from the hike days later. When the picture was taken I couldn't see the screen on my phone because it was too bright out. Blurry object at the top of the photo looks to us to be a bird in flight. PD

Glendale, CA
While driving for my doctors appointment in Glendale, California, I decided to exit on Harvey in Glendale and take the side streets. As I was passing 1 or 2 blocks going east of Verdugo Blvd. on Wilson, I happened to look up on the right hand side of my windshield. I was asking myself and wondering why the "lightpost" was very high up in the sky without the post. Not a moment too soon, I saw a silver disk just hovering in front of my sight up in the sky. It was like at a stand still. I gasped and muttered "Oh, my God!" and for all I know, in the blink of an eye, the thing disappeared. It was a UFO. I glanced at my cellphone wanting to take a picture, but couln't because I was driving and the UFO was so fast in disappearing. The time was 13:18. It was exciting to realize this was not the only instance I saw a UFO several years ago while driving on the Glendale freeway. But it was a little far and this time it was bigger since it was more close.

Lincoln, WA
My Mom lives in Lincoln, WA, sometimes shown as Creston, Wa, on the web. We are about half a mile from a boat launch on Lake Roosevelt. My mom and I were watching tv at 23:55 or 11:55pm, when my step dad walks inside the house from the porch. He says to my mom, “Come listen to this noise, I have never heard anything like it.” So my mom goes outside with him on the porch. I do not follow him at first because he was so calm. Then my mom opens the door and frantically calls out to me, “Come out here as fast as you can!” I run out to the porch and instantly see this long string of lights in the sky, and there is this loud, ominous, deep vibrating sound that I can feel vibrating though my feet on the deck. The only way I would be able to describe this sound would be if there was a giant wine glass with a mile wide rim, and a wet finger continuously rubbing along the rim to make this deep low hum. The string of lights are white and flashing or pulsating in what appeared to be a sequence running around the perimeter of a disk. We could not see the definite outline of the craft because it was dark and also very smoky from recent fires. But we could tell by the pattern that the lights were moving that it was most likely a disk or ring shape. The craft looked like it was about a mile long, and maybe 1,000 feet above lake Roosevelt. We first saw the craft to the east, moving very very slowly. Its path appeared to be following the curves of lake Roosevelt, headed north, then north west. We could still hear the hum or vibration from the craft about three or four minutes after it was out of view. I was in such shock that I could not stop crying my eyes out. My mom tried to calm me down by reminding me that the day before this event, or maybe two days before, the local news station gave a statement from the local air force base, Fairchild Air Force Base, saying that people should expect to see strange aircraft maybe even foreign crafts. But the broadcast was almost in a joking manner. This changed my mood from scared and sad to scared and mad. If this was indeed secret military aircraft, how dare they mock our fear when we discover their dark secret of bizarre advanced technology. We spoke via telephone with the young woman who submitted this report, and she sounded to us to be quite eloquent, and quite sincere. Please see other similar reports from Oakesdale, WA. PD

Piscataway, NJ
I was driving home from work on a local road near old Camp Kilmer in Edison, when I noticed a fast moving object high in the sky. The time was approximately 5:40 p.m., the weather was sunny and the sky had large, fluffy clouds. The object moved very fast, looked disk shaped with a dome, and was a bright, white metallic color. The speed and movement didn't seem like a plane. It flew very smooth and faster than any plane I've seen. I did not see any aircraft wings or blades like on a helicopter. I continued watching it fly northeast for about a minute, while still trying to pay attention to the road. I couldn't stop looking at it as it just seemed so strange and fascinated me. I wanted to try to take a picture but could not safely pull to side of road. Incident happened quickly and not enough time to get phone and take photo.

Woodford, VA
This evening, 7/31/2017, at approximately 9:15 p.m. EDT, he reports seeing a blue/green disc tracked by laser lights from two high-power helicopters approximately 700-800 feet up. His estimate is that it was located over Virginia Route 2 approximately where it meets VA Route 745 (Widewake Rd). This is about ½ mile from our location to the west on Long Branch RD. One thing that should be noted is that Fort AP Hill (a US Army training facility) is located just to the east across Route 2, and their latest air field/landing strip is located near the western boundary just south of this area.

Greenbrier, TN
Craft spotted on 07/30/2017. Second Sunday this craft has been spotted by husband and wife. Last seen on 07/16/2017, at roughly the safe time. Craft flew west then turned south. Craft was traveling much slower than on 07/16 and appeared to be at 4K-5k ft agl. Craft appeared to be emitting bright white light. Several photos and video were taken. In one of the photos if you zoom you see a round glowing disk with what appears to be a dome. Witness has spent 7 years in army aviation and cannot explain what he saw. Pictures and video sent in email. There was no sound from craft.

Chanhassen, MN
We were driving north on highway 41 between Lyman Avenue and 82nd Street in Chanhassen, MN, when we saw an object floating through the air over the road, going west to east. Although the sun had set, there was still plenty of light to see and the sky was still bright. The object was an oval shape with dark edges and a center the color of the sky. It was about at a height that I would expect a kite or flock of ducks. So, at first we thought it was a smoke ring or flock of birds or a giant balloon. However, as we drove closer, and it continued to move over us to the east, it became clearer that it was a very distinct disk or saucer. Since we were right under it, the oval shape we saw in the distance had changed into a circular disk form. Again the edges were clearly visible as a dark outline against the sky and the middle was now similar to a reflection of the sky, but more muddled and it included a swirl of feint lights. My wife and I were stunned in the front seats and I slowed the car down as there were no other cars immediately behind us. As we passed underneath and it continued to move east, I accelerated and made a right turn on 82nd and into the immediate parking lot on the right side. At that point, the object was no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Gibsons (Canada), BC · Canada
Not quite sure what to make of this, but here goes... I was taking a little break from work (I work from home) in the afternoon, sitting in my backyard enjoying the sun and watching the dragonflies. We live about 5 miles north of Gibsons, BC, in a rural area on the shores of Howe Sound. The sky was completely cloudless, gorgeous blue, with only a sliver of the rising crescent moon in the western sky. I was sitting in a lawn chair, watching the dragonflies, and observing a small dual prop plane traverse the standard flight path to YVR behind where I was sitting (northwest to southeast). I glanced back at the crescent moon to my left, when I noticed a strange moving 'object' to the right, in the sky above the house between two trees. Hard to tell the altitude, but it seemed to be minimum of airliner cruising altitude (30K feet-ish), but really hard to tell. What it looked like was this: imagine the crescent moon, flattened out as if it was a disc on the horizontal plane, with the reflected curved surface facing towards the sun, and the other half, like the moon in daylight, not really visible. It was moving at a speed normally seen with passenger planes, but it definitely wasn't a passenger plane (WAY too big... and not the right shape). No sound at all (whic! h is why it surprised me, outside of the way it looked), and the large curved shape just didn't fit. Wasn't a contrail either (not that I've ever seen a 'curved' contrail like that from an airliner, but I did ponder that possibility... it's the only other thing that MIGHT look like that, in very strange circumstances I can't quite even imagine). I called my son (he was in the house) and hopped out of the chair to run to the front of the building to catch another glimpse of it, as it had gone 'behind' the big tree in our front yard so I couldn't see it from the back any longer. And of course, it was no longer visible. Sadly, I didn't have my phone with me to take a photo - though I don't think I would have been quick enough to catch it anyway. So strange. Never seen anything like that before. We're pretty observant (I love planes and helicopters, so always looking skyward) and I saw interesting lights one night over Pemberton, BC, a number of years ago, but I've never witnessed anything like what I saw last week. Oh - one more thing: it wasn't visible traversing the sky above my chair, as I was glancing at the sky pretty much the entire time, I was sitting out there - it was only in between the trees south of the house that it was visible. Very odd…

Hello. This is a p.s. to what I wrote to you on the 16th. On the 22nd I saw two of the same craft that I saw on the 16th. They were one minute apart. They were both white and traveling in a straight line. They were rectangular shaped but with a curved top and bottom. I decided again to make mental contact with it. The first craft was just like the one on the 16th. I stared at it while it was moving and directed this one thought at it, "what are you"? It just kept slowly moving and didn't disappear. A second one soon showed up. It was flying just like the others, it made no noise, no exhaust and had no wings and flew very slow. I sent another thought at it "what are you". Then I watched it fly out of sight. I then went inside my home and my sight was now strange. When I looked at anything of a light color, my eyes began to flicker-On and off very fast. It was light that I saw whenever I looked a light colored object. This lasted for six minutes, then stopped. I'll never try to make mental contact with a unidentified object again. I view that vision problem as some type of retaliation for the thoughts I sent to all three craft. Anonymous

Plainville, CT
Me and my friend were sitting out side having a smoke. We are on the approach for Boston Airport. The last few nights we have see lines of jets flying to Boston as always. Tonight, we saw the flights as always but with a twist. There were 2 saucer like disks, a bit larger than the commercial flights going along abreast, a lot higher than the planes. No sound or lights, just a reflection from the setting sun. It passed 2 airlines like they were traveling 2 times there speed. We have had a bunch of sightings in the last 2 months!

Grand Junction, CO
I was sitting in my backyard, enjoying the afternoon. Something caught my eye. A white object was up in the sky, I thought it was a commercial aircraft, but it was flying way too slow. It was traveling in a straight line. I've had ufo sightings before. So I stood up and stared at it, and I was going to try and make mental contact with this craft. So I stared at it and directed these thoughts at it. "You make no exhaust" "you make no sound" "you are moving way to slow" "you have no wings" "what are you?" After I sent these thoughts to the this craft, It began to act differently. It was going in a straight line. It was white. It was sort of rectangular, but it was curved on top of the craft and below. It morphed a tiny bit, then after it received my thoughts, it began to flicker in and out of this reality. It did this four times, then it completely vanished. HOAX. Witness provides contact information which is bogus. We seriously question whether it is a serious report. PD

Casa Grande, AZ
I was about 13 when this occurred, I am from San Diego California but when this happened it was in Casa grande Arizona. One evening the sun was setting and it was getting dark. As I walked into the backyard I saw something in the corner of my eye. As I turned my head I seen some type of craft I’ve never seen in my life, and it was hovering a few feet over the neighbors roof (which was completely empty then because they had moved out). I had yelled so my grandma could come outside and she had also seen what I was seeing. I stood there for 20 minutes in shock just staring at this craft which I knew wasn’t from this world. That’s because this craft didn’t portray any light, it had no sound, & it floated dead still in the air not moving at all!!!!! The part that still freaks me out to this day is that I remember as I watched this craft, I felt a strong energy coming from it and also like I was being watched like the craft knew I was watching it. So after standing there for about 20 minutes just staring at the craft and feeling this strong energy from it as it also never made a sound or movement. I said to myself that I was gonna walk in the house for 10 seconds to see if it will move at all or maybe even vanish. I stepped in the house and counted to 10, then walked outside and the craft that I had been staring out for all that time had completely vanished there was no trace of it. I also saw nothing flying away in the distance mind you I was only gone for 10 seconds!!!! I knew what I had seen with something other worldly.

Birmingham (NE of), AL
I snapped this picture from my seat on a flight from San Francisco to Atlanta. The picture was somewhere northwest of Birmingham, Alabama. I noticed it outside my window, and figured it was another airliner. After observing it a few seconds, I noticed it didn't look like another jet. I couldn't see any wings or tail fin. It was in view for maybe 20 seconds or so before it changed directions and went out of my view. I am not sure of the time. The only reason I have a rough idea of a location is because I noticed the guy beside me had his flight tracker up on his seat monitor about 3 minutes after my sighting. I was heading East, the object appeared to be heading southeast at a 45 angle to us but never seemed to get closer or farther from us unti it changed its direction to south. The object looked whitish in color, shaped almost like a blimp or a football. My best guess would be 10-20 miles away from our aircraft.
