At approximately 8:50 pm, while turning into my apartment complex, and was about to pull into my parking space, a falling bright white light that was north/east above the municipal airport caught my attention. I stopped and noticed that the object, a bright white round looking object, which in the night sky would be about as bright as a star in the night sky. This object came down at an a tremendous speed, and the amazing thing about the light was it came straight down, than made an instant maneuver as an L light down, than light sped off horizontally and I only caught the seconds of this object whisking behind the trees that blocked my view. However, the bright white light was for a brief few seconds in my sight. I immediately pulled out of my parking to take a drive in the direction of this light object to see if I could or might see it again , and pulled over to watch and did not see this light again. Within 30 minutes, I heard the sheriff helicopter in the area, could be unrelated, circling the in the area for about 15 minutes.

At that time, I thought it was a comet or a meteor crossing the atmosphere, but it occurred to me that it was way to close to earth be neither one of those two. Then the object slowed down. I immediately came to an abrupt stop with my bus to have a better look at this object and realize it was definitely out of this world. When I started to focus more on the object I saw that it was a teal colour. It was an oval shaped and had a transparent see through look to it. Very strange. To try an describe it to the best of my knowledge it was basically like looking at a firefly you see in the woods glowing at night, but this object had a constant glow to it and did not flicker off like a firefly. After quickly glancing at the object, it then pickup up at a phenomenal speed and dashed out to the north east sky and it was gone. The speed that it took off was absolutely phenomenal, just mindboggling. It's as if it went into warp mode, like in Star Trek. Absolutely something I will never forget for the rest of my days. Just to be clear this all happened from the time I first saw the object to when it disappeared was in the matter of 3 to 5 seconds. I had no witnesses on board as I had just finished dropping off a group of teenagers a few minutes prior to my experience.

I went out to my deck and looked for the North Star. I was lining up the big dipper to find it, when I saw a very large, slow moving object. It was about 2,000 feet above me and moving silently to the north. It had to have had the dimensions of a football field. It was tapered toward the front and had no lighting whatsoever. It appeared gray against the cloudy night sky and had a smooth exterior that contained detail of some kind...windows, equipment...I couldn't tell. As it moved further on, I could tell that it had some thickness to it and was flattened off at the back end. It just kept moving at a slow but steady clip until it disappeared into the clouds. The only person I have told is my wife. She said she believed me, but didn't want to talk about it anymore. Now, I know why people don't talk about this type of thing. There is a real stigma attached to it. Who is going to believe me anyway? Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vestavia, AL
Looking at stars, noticed slightly off color yellow/orange tint- distinctly different. Emitted a pulsating light and would go from a distinct star like dot to a chevron, went from pin point light to chevron changing with pulses to a fainter much less intense yet larger oval transparent light which would blip and fade away- but it kept coming back into view. I kept comparing it to the stars to convince my self it was different and it definitely was. The most interesting feature was the way it moved, it seemed to pulsate to the point it seemed as if it was shaking and it would distinctly move west to east, south to north, at times it would move in semi circles, then hover in a semi Circle or crescent. It would intensify to a dot and left right up down but stayed within the rectangular view of my iPhone 7+ on video. Oh yes- I have about 10 minutes or more of video and photos. The photos on the iPhone r shot in 3 second moving intervals. I got pics of the intense dot, the larger vapor like semi transparent glow and I even got several vapor like streaks with the camera- something I did not see with my eyes, but the camera picked it up. This thing would appear, move about in eradicating movements, fade in, fade out, go from the intense dot to the larger semi transparent glowing circle or oval, etc. This went on from about 3:30 am to 4:10 or so. I kept using my camera flash to flash light toward it hoping it would come down in altitude but it did not. I hope I can post my pics and video, if not I'll post to UTUBE under Vestavia Alabama UFO 3-2017

Lexington, KY
Walked outside to unpack car, and suddenly felt as if I was being watched. Looked up and saw a large bright white oval shape in the southern direction. Stared at it for several seconds, but it didn't appear to move. Bent down into car, then back up, and it was still there. Then I pulled a few more things out of the car, and when I stood up it was gone. It looked like a "full moon" that had been pushed into an oval disc. It was very large and shimmery white.

As I was walking to my door, I looked up at the western sky and saw approximately 7 oval bright orange/red objects in a hook formation. As sudden as they appeared, they disappeared.

Wasilla, AK
3 round objects that were a glowing orange color that pulsated. No position lights as on civilian or military aircraft. Very low, thick cloud layer at approximately 1000 feet above ground level. Objects moved slowly and methodically. Was about 1/2 mile away. approaching my position from the southwest. 1 broke from the loose formation and headed south and then rose into the low cloud layer. The other 2 were in a staggered right formation. Lead object stopped and seemed to wait for the other to catch up and when it did they both went straight up in the cloud layer.

I looked out my bedroom window and a light caught my eye. There was this ovalish craft flying west, it had lights all around the bottom of it that were flashing order of left to right. When they flashed the ones in the middle were very much brighter than the rest. Then it glided into the trees and I could no longer see it.

Longmont, CO
I saw 12 orange/red objects flying in NE direction. First saw one then another a ways behind it it but off to the side. Each flying the exact same speed. Then another and another and another, etc. Counted 12 total. All flying the exact same speed. Totally silent. Appeared to have 2 or 3 orange red lights that made up most of the object. Shape was either long oval or saucer but all were the same. Smaller than any plane but much larger than a drone. ((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, Turns out what I saw was Chinese lanterns after all. Some people sent up about 15 of them at sunset that day in honor of someone who died 5 yrs ago. If you google Times Call Longmont Aliens, you'll see the story. I guess my eyes aren't as good as I thought they were! So sorry to take up so much of your time. ((END ADDENDUM #1)) ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #2)) Hi Peter, Sorry for the slow response time I work at ((deleted)) - 12 hour shifts - Fri, sat, sun so have been busy. Am I satisfied? I looked again at the drawing I made soon after seeing the objects and while they didn't appear to be Chinese lanterns, it is possible that at the right height and right angle maybe they could be. The thing that throws me off is that I remember when I saw them I thought they were way too big to be drones - even really, really large drones. The next morning I googled drones and thought that maybe the drones that are large enough to carry one person might be large enough to match what I saw hence "car sized" or "small car sized". I never did see any of them rise rapidly in the sky and disappear. They all maintained the exact height and distribution pattern the entire time I watched them move off to the NE until they were just small orange/red objects. It was not windy that night. I'm torn. However, without a picture or video of what I saw I have to let it go. I can't prove anything. I sure will keep an eye to the sky though and keep my cell phone with me at all times! Thank you!

Long Beach, CA
I saw one steady and quite bright orange light about the magnitude of Venus or brighter moving rapidly from southwest over the harbor in a northerly direction over the city of Long Beach, California. Weather conditions were clear – no rain or clouds. It emitted no sound. I could not estimate its altitude. As it passed overhead there was enough ambient light form the setting sun to back light it so that I could see that the light was attached to a colorless or black object with a more or less round or oval shape. It was the size of a dime held at arm’s length. I watched it until it disappeared behind the house I was stand next to. My first conclusion was that it could have been a drone, but it didn’t have the characteristic kind of movements usually displayed by drones. Neither did it display any flashing lights characteristic of most drones that I have seen.

Ravenna, OH
I just wanted to report this to someone and happen to find this site a few minutes ago. My sighting happend about two hours ago. I am in Ravenna, Ohio, and decided to do a little early spring catfishing since its very warm this evening. As i was fishing at my local reservoir, I noticed the sky was very clear except for a few misty clouds. About 8:30pm something caught my eye and I saw these two white lights moving in a cloud. They were moving in circles but in oposite directions. One counter clock ways and the other clock ways. Some times one would make bigger loops and then back to a tight circle. I watched them for 30 mins or so and then they were just gone. I returned home and looked up what I had saw and way amazed how many people have reported the same thing so I wanted to report it. It was strange not scary just strange. Thank you for reading my report.

1 bright white spherical orb with a slight glow under and around it first noticed around 6:30 PM in the low western sky above New Berlin/Waukesha area or further west. Appeared much brighter, earlier, and lower than any normal star constellations. Stayed fixed on the same point in the sky and did not move for hours. Probable sighting of Venus? PD

Simpsonville, SC
A large pulsing green oval traveled across the sky in an arcing trajectory in a horizontal direction. The object was lower than the typical altitude of a plane, but higher than the tree line. The object moved at relatively fast pace towards the north. I slowed my vehicle to try and track the object, but it had already accelerated out of sight.

Roswell, GA
FEB 20th, I was traveling on POST OAK TRITT RD in Roswell GA at 9:30 pm and in the same area I’d seen this lighted flying object before, I saw it dart to the north of my car over some trees. there was another companion, but it was too far to the left of my car up in the sky and I could only visually track 1 object. I pulled my car into the tennis courts of my subdivision, up on a hill and watched until it came back into view. I have a video of it. it looks oval in the sky but on video more round. white illumination. Hard to tell at night the size of this. I'd say it was 1000 ft. up in the sky. It was dark. Lasted for about 10 min. This is the third time I've seen this phenom. The last time was off of highway 120 which is abut 2 miles from this area. I'll be happy to send an email.

NSL ((North Salt Lake??)), UT
On February 18, 2017, between 4:15 a.m. and 4:40 a.m., my nephew and I were casually talking and joking in the living room of my home. I was sitting on one of the chairs facing East looking out the living room window that also faces East, and while my nephew was commenting on a topic we were discussing, I saw what I can only describe as this: “Two oval-shaped lights, BRIGHT, sparkling,” appeared over the treetop of a neighbor’s home. The only lighting from outdoors came from two homes, which I could see from my position. These two porch lights and one dull, street light were the only noticeable light sources. I stared in puzzlement with what I was seeing, and the flurry of possibilities came flooding into my mind of what I was seeing: “Maybe it’s the traffic lights from the neighborhoods in the hills…but that can’t be because there’s no lights or traffic lights coming from that direction. It’s a big rig…wait, that’s too close and too big to be that low and that big. Street lights? No. That’s not a street light.” These are the thoughts that were racing in my mind as I watched these “lights” float and lower to the level of the neighbor’s rooftop and then disappear. I stared, after it disappeared, trying to figure out what I had just seen. The first words out of my mouth after the “lights” disappeared, was, “Oh. My. Gosh.” Not wanting to create fear with my nephew, I waited until he was finished with his conversation and slowly introduced him into what I had just witnessed. His response was doing the “Sign of the Cross,” and uttering a quick prayer. I laughed reassuring him that there was no need to be concerned because I wasn’t afraid. I said to my nephew, “I KNOW what I saw. I saw it. I just don’t know WHAT I saw. What the HELL did I just see?” This incident lasted about 2-3 seconds, but DAMN, I can’t get it out of my head and I am not about to go broadcasting it publicly because who’s going to believe a random sighting of unexplainable lights amidst skeptics? Well, there you have it. I would NEVER put myself into a position of being persecuted for perjury. I KNOW what I saw, I can’t explain WHAT it was, but I KNOW what I saw. Please help me to explain this because it’s constantly replaying in my mind. THANK YOU for your time to look into this and hopefully explain it. (I should ask WHATEVER it is to just knock on my door instead of appearing like that)

Longmont, CO
I saw a dozen oval/elongated rectangular large (car sized?) objects flying slowly across sky heading NE. All objects were identical. They made absolutely no sound. Each had red/orange lights on each side and maybe one in the middle – the lights kind of blended together – hard to tell. They all traveled at the same speed and though not in a straight line held the exact line pattern the entire time they traveled through the sky. They appeared to be flying about the same height as small airplanes do in our area – 1,500 feet? They did not waver in speed or direction. Lights did not flicker – only saw steady red/orange lights on each. See youtube video “six orange UFO fireball phenomenon 2013” – this is almost identical to what I saw except objects were more oval/elongated rectangular than round. Color and lights were exactly the same as seen in this video. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, Turns out what I saw was Chinese lanterns after all. Some people sent up about 15 of them at sunset that day, in honor of someone who died 5 yrs ago. If you google Times Call Longmont Aliens, you'll see the story.

Florence, SC
I was outside with my daughter. She was playing in her sand box and I was laying on the ground beside her looking up like I always do at the sky. It's 72 clear bluebird skies in SC in Feb so we were enjoying the weather. As I am looking up at the sky I see a jet liner coming out of the south heading north east. Just then an object the same color as the jet liner enters my view from strait over my head moving from SW to NE. It is egg shaped and the size of Venus in the night sky. The object was moving at what appeared to be a high rate speed. It went from over head to out of sight (about 70 deg.) in 4-5 sec. It caught me by surprised because I couldn't believe what I had just saw. I actually called the UFO hotline within 30 seconds of this happening (google search on my cell phone) and the guy was very short with me and requested I submit a report here. After I hung up I was looking up toward where the object had went and I saw what appeared to be the same object appear from the NE and back to the SW. The object was moving slower this time and it actually stopped briefly and then quickly went off to the East and then suddenly vanished. Then about 1 minute later another object the same shape and size following what appeared the same path as the first approaching from the SW moving to the NE, but moving at what appeared to be a slower speed (70 deg.) in 7-8 sec. That object went out of sight and I did not see anything else. I even checked the wind to make sure I wasn't seeing something blowing with the wind but it was coming out of the East. Like I said the skies were clear and I definitely saw something I can't explain.

Bryan, TX
I arrived at work and was walking across the parking lot toward my office building when I noticed what I thought was a small airplane banking back and forth in the sky to the northwest. I thought maybe it was a stunt plane, but then I noticed it had a flat oval disk-like shape, twisting and turning in place. I continued to walk across the parking and for a short period the object was eclipsed by the building, so I walked around to the side to get a better look. The object was still there. For half a second, I though maybe it was a bird soaring in the wind as there was a pretty good breeze blowing, but it appeared to be hovering in place, although it was twisting and turning - plus, it had a definite oval shape. A few seconds later, it stopped turning and exited away to the north/northwest until in was no longer visible. I can't say with certainty that there isn't a prosaic explanation for what the object was, but it was strange. Possibly a drone, but unlikely with how it was turning over in the sky and then just flew away. As best as I can tell, the object was maybe about 300 yards away, about 35 to 40 degrees in elevation from my position.
