East Greenwich, RI
I witnessed a craft about a mile up with different colored lights zip through the sky faster than anything I’ve ever scene. It didn’t make a sound and didn’t appear to put off any exhaust. Faster than a shooting star and definitely faster than any military aircraft I’ve ever witnessed.

I was on top of a parking garage in Downtown Knoxville moon gazing and taking photos of the moon. I do believe I photographed a UFO slightly above cathedral downtown. Photographs will be emailed.

Tracy, CA
UFO SIGHTING, 9.11.19, approximately 5am, Pacific Time, Tracy, CA, USA 95376-1707 I walked out of the house through the carport and stopped at the end of the carport and looked up into the sky and I saw it. It was up high in the sky, a little to right of center and far away. (More details to come). It continued traveling to the west as I started walking to go check the mail (we live in a mobile home park where we can walk to our outdoor post office boxes), but I kept looking up at the sky and I kept seeing it until it was blocked by the mailboxes for about 8 seconds. I was a little afraid because I was alone with this experience. My heart was pounding and my breathing was rapid. My eyes were wide open for the next couple of hours after it was over. After it was out of sight, I went inside and immediately told my boyfriend about everything I’d just seen, then I wrote all of it down. Then I Googled “airplane lights” and “airplane light patterns” and none of them came even close to what I saw. Details: All the lights were the same color, very bright yellowish-white but mostly white, the size of airplane lights, I think they were all the same size, but the end-lights might’ve been a little larger. (This is the only detail I’m not sure of). In the 5 minutes or so that I stared at it, I observed that it was traveling from east to west, which for me, was from left to right, and judging from the distance away, it seemed as though it was moving at about the same speed as an airplane. Steady movement, never stopping or changing direction. About the size of an airplane. Pretty far away, couldn’t hear any sounds coming from it. Because there were so many lights coming from it, I could almost see a shape but not quite. The lights at either end were higher up than the lights in the middle section. The lower, middle lights were not in a level straight line across, but in a right-side-up bowl shape. After watching it for a minute or so, the lights gradually turned off from right to left to the halfway point, they stopped for a second, then they continued to go off all the way to the end at a faster rate than the previous action except for the last light on the left, then that one went off separately, then immediately they all went on again one by one, but quickly this time, from left to right. The light “show” lasted for about 5 seconds. I hesitated to report this because I kept thinking that no one would believe my story. This is why I haven’t reported it until now.

Sunrise Beach, MO
We were standing outside trying to see if we were able to see any strange objects in the sky, as we had been seeing things for over 2 weeks that we could not explain. Little hairs raised all over your body. There were no noises of any wildlife. The Stars in the sky wet changing shapes (the consultations were all turning into triangles), one of the brightest stars in the northern sky turned into a bright orange ball and floated across the sky and went from being in space to just above the trees, and Then a figure that looked like a drone...it looked so small. So i shined my flashlight at it. It dodged the light, and in an instant it wasn't in space no more. That too was just above the tree line. It came towards us so fast it looked like it just swooped down, but did it so fast, like it was telling us to turn the light off. Then we seen little figures with yellow beaty eyes to really tall figures, standing in the tree line. It looks looked like they ! were standing still, but they were moving so fast. All you could do was freeze. No matter how much you tried to move. Couldn't speak, move, nothing. You couldn't think. Then when you realize what is going on you are just standing there crying. That's when it all hits you. What ever is in the sky, isn't friendly. They take your memories while they study you. You are left in a daze for hours just staring. And the next day you don't remember it. We only know know the estimated time lapse from our security cameras. We watched them the next day, then all our data just disappeared. We did nothing to it. Hours had passed. We went outside at midnight, came in at dawn. But it only seemed like it was less than an hour. To this day I am terrified to go outside by myself when is dark . Something is out there.

Two red orbs side by side we're hovering at what seemed like an altitude high enough for a plane. After approximately 30 to 45 seconds, it did a straight downward descent quite a distance, then faded away in a zig zag pattern.

North East, MD
Went out for a cigarette and saw a portion of the sky was glowing red. I moved so I could see the sky more clearly and noticed all bugs had stopped making sounds. I watched the glow for several minutes and noticed it was pulsing in 1 second intervals. I pulled my phone out and tried to record it, but the moment I hit record, the glowing just stopped, and the sky went back to normal, and the bugs resumed making noise agin. I didn't see any ships or objects, but I simply cannot explain what I saw.

Me and my sister went fishing last Sunday later that evening at approximately 9:49 PM we caught a fish so we were taking pictures of it well today I was looking back at the pictures I have live pictures and there’s something strange in the sky it’s round and it looks like a bunch of beams of light coming off of it and in the picture when you zoom in it’s also a spacecraft like he’s around it but the object you see very clearly is round I am going to send my live pictures I have of the craft

At approximately 04:18 on the morning of Sept. 1st, 2019, I saw what I thought was a really bright star in the ESE sky at about a 35 deg. angle. I thought it was Sirius until it disappeared. Possibly a helicopter spotlight but didn't seem to cast a beam and the altitude would have been too high for it to hit the ground, I am also familiar w/ most of Law enforcement aircraft and they use FLIR tech here. I have never seen anything like that in the sky around here.

Weatherford, TX
August 31, 2019, While driving west on US highway 180 at around 4pm on the west side of Weatherford TX, I noticed a large contrail do west in line with the highway. It looked to be on the horizon but was not getting any closer, It was going straight up, it was about two hands' tall at arm's distance. There had been some rain earlier that day and there was some cloud cover in several layer. The object passed through the first layer of clouds and kept going up. I had gotten to my turn on Garner Road off of US 180 (the Mineral Wells Highway). When I found a place to pull over and took a photo, the Contrail below that clouds was dissipating, but I could see the object and contrail in the clouds. I stop again at the Rick Williamson loop and took one more photo and the contrail was breaking up. Using contrast on the photo you could see the contrail in clouds vary high up in the second photo.

Around the same time every night I stargaze, recently this month my son has been waking up to tell me that said "owls" have been outside our house. It didn't catch my attention at first (imagination), but, until I noticed that a "ufo" has been flying around the open view outside my house. I have a window that can see open field for miles and this "ufo" what have you... moves around the sky until I cannot watch anymore. It has shown characteristics of circling, brightening and dimming. When planes are in the vicinity of flight path it will dim its lights and fly higher into the sky. It will wait until out of path to come further down then lighting back up. I have seen said "ufo" move quickly around nights sky and take what looks like sharp 45 degree angles just to stop instantaneously brighten up and what appears to be letting out orbs of lights from said object.

Orlando, FL
Friady evening about 8:15 eastern time. Orlando fl. about 4 miles due north of Orlando international airport. They sky was 100% overcast-- looked to be 6 or 8,000 feet up--- as the departing jetliners at probably 4 and 5,000 were below it. I was outside making prepirations for the the approaching hurricane Dora (sic. Dorian). Just at begining of twilight. Stepped out of my shop to look at a virgin atlantic 747 departing for europe. (Reckegnised it by its sound.) As I watched it go by south to north- I was facing east and it was passing above my eastern horizon and tree line in the distance. It was about 5 miles away so I turned go inside and my eyes caught a light just over the trees as I was facing due east. At first I assumed it was some kind of plane because the sky was full of departing and approaching - both near and far. Immediately I noticed that whatever it was appeared to be on fire. And it was headed my way with some speed. I thought -- if thats a plane-- he wont be flying much longer with THAT MUCH fire. whatever it was -- it appeared to be engulfed in fire from every part of it. I could see flames blowing out of it from all sides. I briefly thought of running away as it seemed to be heading right for me-- at least in its heading. It seemed to be holding its altitude--- not descinding at all. I ran to my shop door- about 20 feet away where I often keep binoculars hanging on a cabinet door-- but they were gone. I got my cheap flip phone and put it on video--- tried to center it in the screen--- and them tried to zoom it while keeping the object in the screen. By that time it was about directly overhead . I could hear NO NOISE at all. So I rulled out a plane or a drone. I could still see flames blowing out of it on every side - like it was a fire that was being actively fed---- I could also see NO smoke trail like a plane might have made (especially a jet- if it had burning jet fuel- which would have been very smokey---) i believe after the video ends--- I continued to watch it untill it disappeared behind the western tree line. My mind was kind of overwhelmed trying to figure out what I had just seen----- I stood there a moment-- and turned around and saw another one of the same thing above the easter tree line---- exactly like the first. I tried to get another video but only got a few sec. of this one. I also watched this one approach the western tree like like the first one did. It seemed to be engulfed in fire just like the first one. just brfore it got down to the tree line--- I saw what appeared to be a halo appear which looked like a half sphere. It lasted about 2 or 3 sec. ( reminded me of the umbrella shaped plume when a rocket's 2-nd stage lights at the edge of space--) It looked like I was looking at the back end of this thing- and the halo was symetrical around it--- After about 2 or 3 sec. of this halo---- all the fire abruptly ended----- I strained to look--- and I could see a distinct outline of some kind of dark object with sharply defined edges. The sky still has a little diffuse light and I could see it highlighted against it. with only having my naked eye--- I couldnt quite tell if its shape was square or cylindrical ro what geeometrical shape it looked like-- just that I could see sharp well defined edges---- and the fact that it seemed to be very large. Just before the fire ceased--- its position merged with that of a jetliner about 4 miles away (departing the furthet of the 4 runways) and its angular size appeared about 4 times bigger than the distant plane. Of coarse I have no distance information-- all I know is that it was below the cloud deck. Since the clouds were 100% -- if it had been above them I never could seen it at all. The distant jetliners were probably 6 or 8,000 feet I woul dguess and they were below the cloud deck too. So it had to be below that. My first impression upon seeing the first one was that it was maybe 3000 or 4000 feet (when I thought it was a plane on fire---) The time between the first one and 2-nd one was maybe 30 sec. I would guess they may have taken 1 min to go from tree line to tree line. I truely can not guess what this could have been. It did NOT seem to resemble any UFO report I have ever heard. I checked the wind about a half an hour later. It was out of the NE and the objects were going very close to from east to west. The only thing I could think of was some of those rigs that people some times release that have a white paper bag with a candle below---like a hot air baloon. However it didnt seem to be following the wind-- and if it was a paper bag that had caught on fire --THAT would have burned up within a few sec. as well as loosing its ability to remain aloft. It would have droped like a rock. At one point when I was watching the first object coming towards me---- I all most thought I could see a tiny faint steady point of light on each side of the fire-- like just near the outer edges of the fire. All most like a very faint wing tip light. The only other thing I might immagine it could be ---- was some kind of upper atmosphere-near space plasma or electric discharge powered plane. That might explain the appearance of a billowing fire--- the halo---- no noise--- an another thing. The course these things were on -- was just about exactly the path I used to see air force planes commuting from Patric AFB (near port canaveral) to McDill AFB (Tampa). I wonder if that --- and the fact there was a 2-nd one in trail behind the first one--- is a hint that maybe the air force was involved ????? That was what I saw ! It was very odd !

Small silver ball object in the sky during the day. It clearly looked like a small white dot in the sky but this was at 10am in the morning. It was just very high in the sky not moving. It was a clear day so it stood out. But it was hard to see it because it was small exactly like a star. Also seen a transparent plane flying high in the sky. It was going at a fast speed and I never seen a plane like that. Only seen the plane for about 5 seconds than I couldn’t find it in the sky after that. It looked like maybe it was flying around or near the object in the sky! At first I didn’t pay no attention because I didn’t want to think it was a ufo at first. I was assuming it was a plane or balloons. 10 minutes later were still talking and I’m still looking at this object above in the sky not moving. I get my cousin to look in the sky and see if he sees it too and we’re looking into the sky as I can see it clearly but I’m trying to get him to see it too because he couldn’t see it with his vision. While I’m trying to get him to spot out the object, I also spot what looked like to me a transparent plane flying high in the sky too, this plane looked strange like I never seen before because of its speed and how high it was in the sky. I got my phone and recorded the other object and zoomed in on the object but it’s hard to identify what it is. It just looks like a white dot in the sky. Obviously not a plane or drone because it was too high in the sky and not moving. We recorded the dot for about 5 minutes as it just stayed in the sky not moving. We lost sight of it and couldn’t find it in the sky. This was a really trippy morning because we couldn’t really identify what it was.

Above Ainsworth baseball field.. Thought it (was the) size of (a) 737. Hovering less then 500 ft. Buzzing sound before moving north. Had it been a slow moving airplane it would have continued west to land. Instead object went north at a fast rate of speed. Didn’t comprehend what I saw until about 5 minutes later. Very creepy. I tried tracking it via car. And was able to get one picture from further distance then first sighting it 5 minutes prior.

Beloit, WI
This evening, my husband and I were outside on our deck observing the stars. As we were watching a satellite traverse from north to south, we were surprised to see a very bright, white strobe light flash in the same vicinity, at a very high altitude. About 15 seconds later, it flashed again, having moved only a very short distance in the sky. We observed it flash only 5 times, moving west to east, but at what appeared to be a very slow speed, or at an extremely high altitude. It moved only a few degrees across the center of the sky before the strobe disappeared. My husband has been a commercial and military pilot for 35 years. He was not familiar with any craft that does not either show a constant light, such as a satellite reflecting the sun, or a known commercial or military aircraft with the required flashing white and red lights. He has never seen a flying aircraft of any kind that carries only a strobe, with 10-15 seconds darkness between flashes, and had no explanation for what this strobe could have been.

Was on the way to school when I see a faint metallic orb flashing rapidly then it disappeared as quickly as it was seen. Was this a possible trans dimensional craft? We question whether this is a serious report. Possible hoax?? PD

Equally compared to the elevation and speed that a helicopter flies. There was absolutely no audible sound. It appeared invisible although it blocked out some stars as it traveled southward. There were 2 orange lights. One on each end. The lights were small and dimly lit.
