Nageezi, NM
Around 1:00 a.m. we heard a loud blowing air sound. Coming from outside sounded like a hovercraft. We ran out to look and the sound was above us.And it was huge as it passed over us at a low range, fairly close to the ground as we saw it standing outside our front door.Large Neon green light in a horseshoe shape.I estimate, if it was to land on the ground. Would've been at least 4 school bus size in width. And we watched travel a half mile before it went over the Ridge. We live on a Ranch 6 miles East off the highway and our closest neighbor is a mile away from us on our South side location.

Wabasha, MN
As we have done every year since 2006, my wife and I attended a July 4th public fireworks display presented by the Wabasha Fire Department, not far from the west bank of the Mississippi River, in southeastern Minnesota, some eighty-five miles south from Minneapolis. Shortly after sundown, around 9:00 p.m., we arrived on the east side of the city lagoon, over which the pyrotechnical show would take place. As it began at 9:30 under a clear sky of unlimited visibility---save somewhat less so in the west, where thin clouds had gathered --- with a waxing-gibbous moon rising behind us, three objects appeared, one behind the other, around one thousand-foot altitude or less. I estimate each of the nearly identical craft was thirty to thirty-five feet in diameter. From underneath them, golden flames projected downward in a rough, splayed pattern. Reflecting in these flames was the reddish-orange underside of the objects. They seemed disc-shaped to me, but my wife wondered if they may have been more spherical, as only the structures’ ventral area might have been illuminated by the fiery discharge streaming from the craft’s bottom section. The three objects were regularly spaced from one another by approximately one hundred twenty feet or one hundred fifty feet, in a line formation that took them from the east, directly above the fireworks display, over which their initially rapid advance slowed to little more than a crawl, before they picked up a bit more speed, while executing a broad, climbing curve toward the west, one craft after another, gradually disappearing into the thin cloud cover. Their construction appeared utterly unaerodynamic, and they seemed to less actually fly, than to be moved, not propelled, across the sky in the manner a stone picked up and transported from one place to another. That, in any case, was the impression their flight made. During long pauses in the exploding fireworks, we strained our ears, but failed to perceive any sound from the flying objects passing practically overhead. Perhaps five minutes after they became hardly more than faint sparks in the western sky, another group of almost identical craft --- also, perhaps, in threes--approached on precisely the exact, same heading executed in the night sky by their predecessors. Like them, the newcomers arrived speedily, but quickly decelerated, cruising directly above the fireworks, then somewhat increased their velocity to follow the first set of craft identically into the west, no less precisely than if they were riding on a railroad track. Other groups of the same kind of vehicles followed in circa five-minute intervals; all behaved in identical fashion, abiding unswervingly to the same, broadly curving course from east to west. Their only apparent differentiations included color and its intensity. One or two of the objects were entirely bright white, while most were reddish-orange, some more pronounced than others. On three or four of them, I discerned darker, indistinct details lining the illuminated “disc”. At first sight, I assumed for a moment that the objects must have been hot-air balloons, flying lanterns or aerostats of some kind, because they did partially resemble them at a distance. But as they approached nearer, their varying speeds, unvarying course, and downward extending flames immediately identified them as something else. The penultimate object was especially distinct and brightly lit in its discoidal or spherical configuration. Altogether, we counted fifteen such craft. The last one sailed directly above the fireworks’ big finale, over the center of the exploding display. Total duration of all Wabasha sightings on the evening of July 4, 2017, coincided with the city’s Independence Day pyrotechnical program from the moment it began until its final shot, as though the disc pilots somehow knew the program in advance, allowing their own, perfect timing. Their behavior made us both feel that they were solely interested in observing the fireworks.

Saint Simons Island, GA
Around or just after 9:00 PM on July 4, 2017, some friends and I stepped out onto the roof of a local restaurant in the pier village on Saint Simons Island, GA. We were there to watch the Fourth of July fireworks display. The fireworks show was taking place in front of the restaurant. When we turned around, though, we saw, at least a couple of blocks or so away from us, a strange blue-ish object hovering in one place in the sky for several. I personally observed the object for several minutes, before I finally went back inside the restaurant. According to another witness, after I went back inside the restaurant, the object briefly moved around in the sky erratically before it finally descended and appeared to land, disappearing from view. What became of the object after it descended remains unknown.

Cooper City, FL
I was taking a picture of the moon with my iPhone 7 plus, while sitting in my backyard. At the same moment I pressed the button to snap a pic of the moon, I witnessed a light that zipped across the sky at ridiculous speeds into the area of my camera view. It seemed as though the object zipped into view of the picture just in time to be seen in the photo. When I take pics of moving objects, they always come out blurry. With this object, it's just not the same case. This capture is purely accidental on my part. I did not see anything sitting there for enough time to snap a shot of it. The only evidence I have is the sight of a light moving faster than known flying speeds into my view of the camera and the authentic photo which is original and unaltered. There was no noise from the object and it disappeared as fast as it appeared once picture was taken. This is the absolute first sighting I have ever had. I'm looking forward to someone enhancing the background to show a definitive shape or structure that is difficult to see in its entirety.

Kingsport, TN
We observed a large disk-shaped craft moving slowly, east to west, at at low altitude, probably 1000 ft above ground. It followed the path and direction of the Clinch Mountains. It had solid cluster of 3-4 red lights on the front and rear of the craft and it was if the craft was transparent except for the lights. It was around 500 yards from our rear deck of our house. No sound, or sharp turns, as it passed by. The craft was at least a football field in length, very large. We viewed it from the side until it had passed heading towards Mount Carmel/Church Hill. It was being followed by 3 aircraft at a much higher altitude.

Garden City, SC
My husband and 14 year old son ran to the front and the disk shaped craft was flying low and making a pulsating sound. It was round like a disk and flat on the bottom with blinking lights on both sides. It was flying really slow. There was also a beam of light shining down on the ocean when it was sitting still.

North Sea (on oil rig), North Sea
On the night of Monday 26th June, I was working night shift on an oil rig in the Southern sector of the North Sea. I won’t give the name of the oil rig but the closest marker to it is buoy 62144. We are not allowed cameras or phones outside on the platform as it is a hazardous area and it is an ignition risk so I will try my best to describe what I seen. It may be a bit clumsy. At approx. 2330 hours, I was working outside and needed to urinate. Rather than go up the many flights of stairs and all the way into the accommodation I decided to urinate over the side, into the sea. I proceeded to the South side of the platform and in front me was what at first I thought was a helicopter, we sometimes get emergency flights at night. Once I had taken in what I was looking at it was clear to me I wasn’t looking at anything I had ever seen before. It was very close to me and close to the surface of the sea. I will try my best to describe it--A large oval shape, cannot say what size, as there is nothing close to gauge it against. I am guessing it was the size of a medium sized plane. It had coloured lights around its centre, and these were moving from left to right, changing from red, blue and green. It had a large amount of white light emanating from the bottom of it, this is why I thought it was a helicopter, it looked like a massive searchlight focussed on the sea. It was extremely well lit up. It didn’t appear to be moving, or was moving very slowly at first but more looked like it had just surfaced from the sea. There was another red light much further and higher to the South of this one. I watched it for approximately 20 seconds, then decided to fetch my two work colleagues. By the time we got back it had flown a considerable distance but was still clearly visible. It was heading in a Westerly direction. By this time the shape wasn’t discernible but the lights around its centre were still flashing from left to right but this time only appeared to be red. The stand by boat for the rig was close by and was pointed directly at it. There was also a reasonably sized manned rig over to the West. Regarding sound, I was working in a reasonably high noise level area and had ear defenders on but I didn’t hear anything. If it had been a chopper for example I would still have heard something as there are about 6 flights a day on here and you can hear them even with ear defenders on. The light that was coming off it wasn’t exactly subtle and it was clear it didn’t care about being seen. I am struggling to process exactly what it was I did see. I am glad my 2 colleagues also witnessed it, albeit at a much further distance. It was like nothing I have ever seen and until my dying day I will never see anything like it again. I have looked on line to see if any images come close to help me describe it and the one that looks most like it is the Roswell photo. The colours best to describe it are in an image of a ufo with Tom Delonge. I’m attaching both to help with my description. I am stopping to tell people now because I am not being taken seriously and am in danger of being seen as nut- which is fair enough, as I know how it sounds. I hope you believe me, you must get loads of these, but if not I feel better just for sharing. I want to document it officially before my memory of it starts to cloud. (It never will), but don’t know how. I also don’t know who to contact to see if any other witnesses who also spotted something but this is a start. If the crew of the stand by boat were looking outside they couldn’t miss it. Looked very much like the black and white photo but the lights around the centre were like in the second photo. The light at the bottom was slightly different, appeared to be more than one. I will never forgive myself for not getting a photo or filming it.

Eaton, CO
I saw a large disk hover silently about 200 feet or so above the ground with light blue lights on the underside. It was much larger than a plane and a perfect circle shape. It was a very clear night. I have never seen a UFO before and it was very interesting. I felt frozen. However, as soon as I saw it and when I could no longer see it I could move again. There was a dark haze around the disk. My dogs didn't seem to notice anything. I checked the clock after regaining movement ability and found that the time was an hour ahead, as the time when I went outside was 11:30 pm and the time after the sighting was 12:30 am.

San Diego, CA
When I went out tonight to collect my mail, I witnessed a disk/flat shaped craft surrounded with bright/deep blue lights, and also red lights. They appeared to be 1/2 and 1/2. The object/craft was below the very high cloud cover and was in the West sky. As I watched it, it darted at a rapid speed, shooting back/forth, up/down. A neighbor came outdoors to take her trash out, and I pointed to the craft, telling her what I had observed. She looked up at it, stating she knew, as she had been watching it from her apartment balcony but didn't know what it was. As we both stood watching it do racing/darting acrobatics, it suddenly shot straight up...then raced at a very high rate of speed to the North, out of sight. The speed and ability to maneuver as it did made it impossible for it to have been any typical aircraft. We heard no noise.

I took that exit at 1145 pm and arrived home shortly after 1 AM. I remember coming over a hill and seeing what I thought was a very large moon and very bright. I didn't remember anything at the time accept arriving home. I went straight to bed. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Hi Peter, I'm not sure what to do with this and although I'm a member of MUFON, you've always been my "go to" guy. My husband and I were coming down hi-way 50 on 6-18-17 returning home to Lincoln, from Tahoe and I had my camera with me. I like to take shots of cloud formations and we had some clouds rolling through with all the pretty colors. Not sure what time it was but I'm guessing towards sunset and I believe we were around the Prairie City Rd. exit. I snapped some pix and decided to look at them later. The weather was beautiful that day. A few clouds but no rain in Tahoe or in the valley. At some point after that I checked them out and they were in my "gallery". All the pix are less than 1" square and I didn't look closely at any of them. Two weeks ago, I was going through the gallery pix, deciding which ones to keep and I came across this one. I did not see this object or whatever it is at the time I took it. I do remember when I took it because it was my late mother's birthday and if I had seen it at the time, I would have showed it to my husband. I don't know if you remember, but I emailed you or maybe wrote an account of possibly taking a photo of a ufo, it was pink/purple colored football shaped object and I immediately showed my husband and got all excited about it. I'm not very good at the tech stuff and couldn't figure out how to send you the picture. Turns out it was something on the window as the next time we went somewhere, I wanted to double check it and the same thing happened so I discarded it. I also sent in the account dating back to 1960 with my twin brother's experience. I've taken a picture of the picture on my phone, I'm determined if nothing, and that's how I'm able to send it now. My phone is a Samsung 4G LTE and my camera is a Canon ELPH 350 HS Powershot. Oh, and my husband is a huge skeptic and when he saw this, he was amazed and told me I needed to send it to someone. Of course, my first thought was you. I know you are a busy man but when you get the chance could you please take a look and get back to me with any thoughts. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hillsboro, OR
We were working out in front of our house, and I noticed an object high in the distance, hanging motionless in the sky. I told my husband and son and we grabbed the binoculars and started watching it. It did not move, and if it did, it was extremely slow to where you hardly noticed it. 2 other people going by in a car stopped and asked what we were looking at. They got out of the car and also witnessed it. Through the binoculars it was extremely bright white. I drew a picture of the shape. I also took some photos and a video but it was so high up, my cell phone just cannot get a great shot of it. It hung there about 15 minutes and then disappeared into the distance.

The craft was at first saucerish, then looked triangular flying over our house.

Went outside and saw many disks with flashing lights coming from the east and south seeming to go to the same place! My dogs stopped what they were doing to look up at them and my puppy yipped at them.

I saw and watched it for about 10 seconds it seemed to change angels and it was gone. No trace no smoke no stream, just gone.

Dunkirk, MD
I first saw a large craft with green and red lights. It seemed to float in place and then go straight upward. It then moved further out to one side. By the time I started videotaping, it was pretty far away and my phone didn't capture a good video. I saw what seemed to look like more lights in the sky blinking in close proximity to the one I had been watching. I went back inside to call my husband, who is a truck driver, to tell him and he said you just interrupted me, I was trying to video tape this UFO looking thing hovering over an embassy building in East Brunswick New Jersey! There's probably no way we saw the same thing but the timing was insane. I then started to see more aircraft, which I thought were possibly military with the green and red lights. They would go straight up into the sky and then move out over top the house. They made no noise. When I was outside taping, however, I thought I heard a low humming noise. I am not sure about the aircraft after the original sighting, but whatever I was seeing the first time had to been a UFO. I was thinking maybe the craft that came after were miltary chasing the objects, since they went out of sight. I was at my father's house visiting, and everyone in the house was sleeping, besides me, but my husband was seeing similar things and on the phone with me while I was watching part of it. The next day I realized my phone had set timers for the same time 8:40 PM over and over. There were at least 5 alarms set for the same day and there's no way I would have done that.

Rutledge, TN
I recorded an orb of amber light in the sky while night fishing on Cherokee Lake. The video is not too fascinating, just seeing a ball in the sky. I took a picture of the orb and it looked like an amber ball until I zoomed in. It looks like a disc-shaped object with a domed top. This sighting was occurring for about an hour simultaneously with the "beam" sighting, reported separately. The UFO picture was taken 12 minutes after I noticed the beam in the sky. Same witness as the one for a report from Rutledge, TN, 12 minutes earlier. PD

Hardy, VA
The object went behind the trees within about 5 seconds, but when I ran out down our driveway to get a better view, I could see it continuing to move in a straight line from West to East. I have a flight radar app on my phone and when I checked it right afterward, there were no planes or helicoptors shown to be in the area. It was very bizarre, to say the least. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sure. It was June 10th (a Saturday) and it happened in the middle of the day. ((END ADDENDUM))

Brushton, NY
I went outside to feed the dogs and heard a low humming above and in front of me. I looked up to see a disc-shaped craft coming towards me fast, it stopped a few hundred feet above and behind the power lines, hovered a second, then took off faster then I've ever seen anything fly. Up close...if you blinked you missed it. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be both sincere, and serious-minded. We have posted his photo to our website, although we have no idea what the object in the photo is. We allow for the possibility that the anomalous object could be a bird, with its wings swept far forward. The lack of symmetry suggests to us that the object may not be an alien spacecraft. PD
