Manteno, IL
Looking at it closer, I noticed it was not moving. I took off my sunglasses to see if I could see it better, but as soon as I did, that it disappeared. Putting them back on, you could easily see it again. I figured this was related to the polarized lens....very weird though. I immediately changed my direction to head north towards it. Driving very fast, I was only about 2 miles from the object that was only about 3,000 feet in the air. I had never seen anything like this in my life. As I got closer the object began to move. At this time, I immediately felt light headed and a headache ensued (which I rarely get...related idk). At the same moment hundreds of birds began to flock away from the object from the adjacent tree line. It changed its direction a few times and began to head north. I hopped on I-57 towards Chicago and drove very fast so I would not lose sight of it. As I did this, the craft picked up incredible speeds towards increased altitude dramatically. If I had to guess, roughly 15 times faster than a typical 747, but this is likely an underestimate. I was dumbfounded, concluding the only explanation is new military technology or extraterrestrial. Unfortuantely, the object moved so fast that it disappeared in the distance in less than 30 to 45 seconds. I decided I would turn around at the next exit at this point as it was long gone. I slowed down a bit because I noticed an unmarked all black police car flashing white, yellow, red, and blue lights pulled off on the side of the interstate. I could not identify the model, as it was a car I had never seen before, and I know my cars very well. I would say the closest car would be a Chrysler 300 with a sleek body kit, maybe it's the 2018 version. Who knows. As I approached it, I noticed it had US Government plates, with no other vehicles pulled over next to it, and I could not see into the windows as I passed, they were tinted which striked me as odd. I thought it might be related to the presence of the craft so I kept driving past the next exit. I continued on the expressway for another 10 to 12 miles to see if anything odd would appear. As I began to merge into the right lane to get off the expressway I saw it again...maybe 10 miles West of me hovering above a radio tower. At this point I tried to snap a photo, but figured it would not work as I could not see the object without my polarized lens. I got off the freeway and headed west towards the object which was likely above Frankfort, IL. At this point I noticed a prop plane heading towards it from the east and two dark planes flying in formation from the north. At this point I was only a few miles away from it, but as the jets approached the craft it accelerated south at a very high speeds. The best pa! rt was the fact you could see it breaking the sound barrier within a matter of a few seconds. It picked up speeds so fast and headed into the skies where I lost sight of it within 10 seconds. I pulled off the road to turn around and see what types of planes where approaching. They were two fighter jets, maybe the F35 but I couldn't say definitely. They had no chance of keeping up with the object though. I hopped back on the freeway and on my way back home I noticed a strong presence of police cars. I saw 15-20 in the 20 minute drive home. As I approached my town I noticed more police lights, a fire truck, and ambulance which was weird because it was right where I began to have a headache. There was a car in the ditch on one side of the road and two cars that collided at the intersection. Maybe it was just all a coincidence though, but it was very odd coincidence. I reviewed the photos I took and I managed to capture the object on one of them, which I will upload. I watched the six o'clock news to see if anyone else reported it, but no news at all regarding craft, military testing, fighter jets, etc. Hoping someone will see this post and possibly confirm some of these events. Lastly, I have been keeping an eye out for an odd activity over the last few days. I noticed a strange, constant light that traveled much faster than the any of the other planes that fly over my house the night after the initial sighting. Additionally, I worked outside the day after and today on the landscaping. I kept hearing roaring jet engines over the house. This occured 6 or 7 times since I saw the object on thd 7th. Unfortunately, it has been cloudy here since then, but I can only confirm that I saw a fighter jet on two of these occasions during the day. I've lived hear since 2004 and have only seen a fighter jet once so all of this is very odd. Hope someone else can provide an explanation. Thanks. Note: the attached photo is the original unedited photo. It has the object on the right side, if you zoom on you can see the radio tower in the distance 10 to 15 miles away or so. It is directly above the radio tower.

Sighting at my home June 6, 2017 time: 15:45, (3:45 pm) Object description: disc shaped with apparent dome, bright shiny metallic, highly polished surface like chrome. The disc appeared to be about 100' in diameter. There were no lights or markers, and no sound, no con trail from the object. Looked like a giant flying chrome hardhat! Weather: clear sky, one cloud, small cumulus to the SW., temp 72 deg. f. Note; the afternoon sun was bright and illuminated the object perfectly Observation: object traveling from the North East toward South West, observed in Eastern sky initially. The disc was in a right banked constant speed turn. I estimated the speed at 500-600 knots, altitude above ground 2500',(AGL), my elevation here is approximately 3000' (MSL). The actual distance between myself and the object was less than one half mile,(1/2 mi.) The disc flew in a slight arc was observed by me for about 10-20 seconds and disappeared into the only cloud in the sky, I did not see it reappear on the backside of the small cloud an do not comprehend why this was not observed by me.

Menominee, MI
May 29th, 2017, I was on a job in Menominee, Michigan. Supplies for my job had not arrived, so we ruturned to the motel for a day off. We were staying at the ((motel name deleted)) on the Bay which has a nice area overlooking Green Bay. I was sitting out there watching the boats and such and enjoying the nice weather and just in wonder at the beauty of the sights. It was a kind of cloudy day but not dark so I was watching the clouds and day dreaming a bit. Wishing my Wife was with me to see the beauty and such. As I was looking at a large, solid cloud bank, it suddenly was pierced by a shape I instantly recognized! Now I know it sounds weird but I swear it was the same shape as the Ships from 'The Invaders' TV show. Or the Haunebu that was said to exist in WWII. I ran to get my camera and got a shot of the cloud penetration as it was desolving. Nothing came through the clouds! It was if it was invisable but it left a very clean out line that I can still draw to this day. It did not form over time but just appeared in a blink! One second a solid cloud bank the next second the shape. No sounds, no vapor trails, no other odd sensations I could detect. Even the ducks swimming near by did not react in any way.

Ask I was getting ready to go to bed, I was using the bathroom at around 11:15pm. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a light which was not extremely bright, but just enough to catch my attention, so I studied this light for 15 minutes. I knew right off the bat it was not a helicopter because I saw multiple helicopters flying around periodically at much lower altitudes. I also ruled helicopters/other human craft out because of the uncanny movement I observed. The craft seemed like they were interacting with one another, slowly advancing, and then moving back to their former location. I went and got my brother so that he could witness the crafts as well. He is a very smart individual and even he did not have an explanation for what he saw. I then spotted a third craft a little west and directly straight up in the sky. I went outside to get a better look. I looked directly up in the sky and the craft slowly positioned itself directly above me. I stood in awe. I had a feeling I was about to get abducted, but nothing happened fortunately. It soon dawned on me that there were at least two more UFOs west of the other three. One of the two western UFOs I saw was extremely bright so I recorded, and took the best evidence I could with my smartphone. I am overwhelmed with confusion and I want to know more. I personally think that there is a possibility that there is diversity among extra-terrestrials just like there are different species on Earth, and they might very well be at war.

Craft flew in from the east. It stopped midair at an angle for some seconds. It lowered down and then came back up. It then took off south west. Police said no military exercises that night, and no emergency craft reported in area. There was also no sound from craft.

On may 18, 2017, at about 8:55 PM, i saw an object in the sky over the east foothills. It was red and shaped like an upside down "U". The red was very bright and it looked as if there were red dots (or lights) under each of the sides a bit less luminous. The object moved from a stationary position (hovering) to a straight down and out of my sight then returned to the same hovering position location. I first saw it at after several seconds. The object then made a fast move directly west (to my left) and the hovered..dropped down out of sight, then back up and a fast move back to the east to the original place I first saw it. I attempted to call my son at that time to get him to acknowledge I was not crazy but he did not answer. So I went back outside and it was still in the same place. I continued to watch it hover for at least 5 more minutes then it disappeared and I saw a huge circular object (that was at least 10 times the size of the original red object) glide up and out of the sky...the thing was dark but more like a shadow or almost invisible or like you could see through it and observe it at the same time. I am still in shock!

Howell, NJ
At approximately 3:30pm on Sunday May 14th, 2017, I glanced out my bedroom window looking toward the east. A strong thunderstorm had just pasted & I was looking at the gray clouds, which were an evenly tone gray. I suddenly saw a silver/gray object at about tree level looking out of my second story window. It was miles away. What caught my attention was its shape, color, movement and the light that was emitting from it. It was a saucer shape with a dome, it was large, large enough to get my attention from at least 5-10 miles away (I'm guesstimating). A very bright white light, a white I've never seen before, very bright, emitted from the underside of the object, as if it were an exhaust of light glowing on the underside, it wasn't a ray shooting downward. I looked for lights you see on planes, there were none. The thing that really struck me was the way it moved...very smoothly, at a steady speed, faster that a plane, but not super fast. By the time I got my camera app up, it was behind the trees, I ran downstairs and outside, but there were too many trees. I'm very curious if anyone else saw anything in the Central NJ, near the ocean side of the state today.

Came outside and saw a bright red light in the sky. Knew immediately it wasn't an airplane or helicopter. It was flying approx 5-10k feet when spotted. I pulled my phone out and started recording. When I zoomed in it was an obvious saucer traveled from one end of the sky to over the horizon in about 90 seconds. Also gained altitude extremely fast. How do I share the video?

I was taking pictures from the Resorts Hotel located on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It was around 8:00 am. I notices the clouds had what looked like a path going through them. I snapped a few photos, and when I was looking through them, I noticed two bright saucer shapes in the sky at 3 o'clock. These saucers were in two of the three photos that I took.

Ayia (Greece) · Greece
The incident took place over the Aegean Sea in Greece, near the town of Ayia, Larissa, Thessalia, Greece. The photos were taken from an IP security camera which takes snapshots on specified intervals and on movement detection, and stores them on an ftp server. The camera is there for about 3 years. The purpose of the camera is not security, but just to watch the sea and the sunrise. It looks S-SE There are 25 shots of the object. In the first and the last the object is barely visible. The only thing I changed on the photos is the filenames to show the series. There is no photo between this series that does not show the object or a photo that I do not include in the series

At approximately 11:30 AM I was on the balcony of my apartment when I saw a flying object descending in the sky very rapidly. It traveled from west to east over Walnut Creek where it appeared to land on the trail. It definitely went below the tree line. This was near Brentwood Christian School on North Lamar. The craft was about 150m from my apartment, approximately 100 feet in the air and looked like it could have had a diameter of maybe 50 feet, but I didn't see the top of it clearly. It was shaped like an upside-down saucer and it had a clearly metallic surface, like brushed aluminum. It wasn't wobbling or tumbling or anything like that, just a very smooth controlled descent. I heard no sound at all. I would not have noticed this object if I hadn't already been looking directly at the sky.

Beaverton, OR
I was coming out of my doctor's office, and I knew it was going to storm when I went in at 2pm. It was 87 degrees and uncomfortably humid. I had been watching the sky for lightning on my way to the doc. As I was coming out of the parking lot, a huge raindrop hit my windshield. It was so big I tried to get a picture of it with my phone. I glanced up in the sky to see if there was a big storm coming. I saw an odd circular area in the fluffy clouds in a clearing. I saw only a circular swish of a white cloud and nothing else but blue sky behind it. I always call those "sucker holes" for pilots, but this one had a swirly cloud inside it. It wasn't until I was in bed that night looking at my photos to see if I captured tge big raindrop on my windshield. My daughter was in Hawaii and I was going to show her she was missing giant rain here at home in the Portland area, and a stormy muggy day. When I looked at my photo, the raindrop is there, but much to my surprise, so is somethibg odd in with the swirly swish cloud! It looks to me like the shape of the Trent UFO in McMinnville, and this is not far from that area mileage-wise. I thought maybe it was a dirty spot on my window, but my window is clean and I can clearly see this object is blurry like it is moving fast. There is even some light reflecting on the left side of it in the photo like it is reflecting off an object. I have no clue what appeared in my photo, but here it is!

On May 2nd, 2017 around 3:30pm my partner and I were in our apartment on the corner of 42nd street and 11th Avenue which had big walls of windows. Our unit was on the southeast corner looking south on 11th Avenue. Down about 2 blocks we saw two flying saucers (disc shaped) with a slight wobble to them like from 1950’s sci-fi movies flying north on 11th Avenue towards our building (Sky Apartments). My partner grabbed the binoculars and got a closer look at them. I saw them with my own eyes and there’s no explanation other than UAP/UFO. It happened so fast and sudden regrettably we didn’t have time to grab video / photos. They then went behind a tall building headed West towards the Hudson and then we lost sight of them. From a distance, I’m guessing they were approximately 60-70” wide and 30-40” tall in a saucer disc shape and silver color with no windows. This was not a dream and we don’t do drugs or even drink alcohol. I don’t know if it’s relevant but it’s worth mentioning, this happened two days before the President of the US was to give a speech at the Intrepid museum, one block west on the Hudson.

When we lived in Manhattan, on May 2nd, 2017 around 3:30pm my husband and I were in our apartment on the corner of 42nd street and 11th Avenue which had big walls of windows. Our unit was on the southeast corner looking south on 11th Avenue in Manhattan. South of us, about 2 blocks, we saw two flying saucers (disc shaped no windows) with a slight wobble to them like from 1950’s sci-fi movies, side by side, flying north on 11th Avenue towards our building (Sky Apartments). My husband grabbed the binoculars and got a close up look at them. I saw them with my own eyes (20/20 vision) and there’s no explanation other than UAP/UFO. It happened so fast and sudden regrettably we didn’t have time to grab video / photos. They then went behind a tall building south of us headed West towards the Hudson and then we lost sight of them. From a distance, I’m guessing they were approximately the size of a mini cooper vehicle in a saucer disc shape and silver color with no windows. This was not a dream, we don’t do drugs or drink alcohol. I don’t know if it’s relevant but it’s worth mentioning, this happened two days before the President of the US was to give a speech at the Intrepid museum, one block west on the Hudson.

This description was given to me by someone I know. They have a video. Standing facing south in front of their home, approximately 200 ft from highway at 12:13--shortly after midnight, a strange steady orange light was observed south south west approximately a mile from home. It was a clear night, no clouds were observed and very quiet. No traffic passing on road and no wildlife sound. The witness observed the light for about 5 minutes. The light appeared to hover over buildings located in that area. It appeared to be un-moving. In the video, the light appeared to be a large object. How large was difficult to ascertain. The light can be seen above the tree line and was a steady non-blinking light. At one point, the witness pointed a high powered blinking flashlight in the direction of the object due being unsure what the light was. The witness was able to see some reflection of a dark shape around the light. Right after shining the flashlight at the object, all electricity went out in the neighborhood. This scared the witness who ran inside the home to check on the people inside. All were ok. The electricity came back on, so the witness went back outside and noted that the strange light was gone and an alarm was sounding from the building the light had been hovering over. At this point, the sounds of wildlife returned...frogs, circadas, and coyotes. Approximately an hour later, the witness noted the same orange light North of him and much further away. The light appeared to be moving slowly away from the witness's location and then disappeared. The witness spoke to the people who worked in the building the next morning to see if maybe there was a break-in the night before. They agreed that the alarm had gone off, but there was no sign of a break-in. Also spoke to a neighbor who also noted the electricity had gone off for a few seconds the night before.

It was night, but my wife saw the UFO. It was very close to and above us because she saw the 4 windows and structure of the UFO. According to her description, it was hanging over and left after she saw it. The evening was dark, so it was not very easy to see it in the sky. Even I did not see, but from her face and eyes, I know she really saw something.
