Bothell (above), WA
Saw a bright blue cone with orange streak access the sky. Thought it was a fireworks rocket at first. But then I sat up and noticed it was streaking across the sky almost horizontal. There was no noise, but it was traveling at high rate of speed. Trail was not visible except for bright blue cone with red.

San Bernardino, CA
Appears early morning. Stays in one are of the sky for a long time. Than it will zig zag. Moves fast. Looks like there's two together. A pair with bright white lights. Sometimes it looks like its just floating around. Strange! I been noticing it northeast of the city for at least one month. Not every day but at least 4x weekly. I have taken many videos and pictures.

Gallup, NM
The objects was a cone shaped bright white color hovering and rotating east of the city, it seemed to be rotating. After observing the objects for a hour or so in the cover of darkness the object vanished. We got into my vehicle and continued our drive. As I started my car and turned on my heas lights, the object seem to fly towards us at a high rate of speed, the brightness of the light got closer and followed us as we got into Gallup. We parked at a gas station on the east side of town and waited for the object to leave. We continued to a mobile home trailer park on the east side of town and the ufo appeared to follow us until we came to our destination. The ufo continued to hover in the sky seeming to observe us, as we observed it with our mobile phones. At around 5:30 the ufo vanished in a upward blast.

Richmond, VA
On June 28, 2017, I was helping family members move into a new house. At 2:37 pm, I was driving back to their old house to pick up the next load, when I noticed a stationary black object in the sky above the tree line in front of my car. The jet black object caught my eye because it stuck out conspicuously against the crisp blue sky. I immediately realized it was something out of the ordinary. Excited and perplexed, I stopped the car and fumbled to get my phone out to capture it on video. The object hovered silently and motionless in the sky. It appeared to ascend slightly and very slowly at one point. Otherwise, it did not move at all. (A close review of the video suggests it also may have rotated along its vertical axis, like a spinning top, but I did not see any rotation while watching it with my own eyes). It made no sound. It was shaped like an upside-down cone or pyramid. It had a distinct, sharp outline against the sky. It looked dense, heavy and sturdy, and not made of flimsy or lightweight materials. It definitely was not a natural object (e.g., a cloud or bird). It looked mechanical, like some sort of machine. But it did not have any discernable features of an aircraft (e.g., wings, propellers or a tail) or anything else that can fly. It had no visible propulsion system or other means of flight. It appeared shiny and shimmered somewhat, which I believe was sunlight reflecting off its surface. Otherwise, it did not emit any light. I asked a family member driving behind me if he saw the object (he did) and knew what it was (he did not). He was not as interested in the object as I was and drove away. After filming for about a minute, I also drove away because we were on a tight schedule. I continued to watch the object as I drove and realized it was much higher up and farther away—and therefore much bigger—than I initially thought. I recorded three videos. The first one at 2:37 p.m. is through my windshield and, unfortunately, does not keep the object in the frame very well. I captured the second video through my open window at 2:38 p.m., a few hundred yards down the road. I stopped again about a quarter mile farther down the road to record the third video at 2:39 p.m. After that, I continued to look at the object while driving but lost sight of it around 2:42 p.m., when trees along the road obscured my view of the sky. The last time I saw the object, it was still hovering in the same spot where I first noticed it. I have speculated that the object could have been a balloon, a kite or a drone. I ruled out the first two options mainly because it did not behave—e.g., sway, pitch or pivot—like something that was tethered to the ground while flying. Although a drone is the most plausible explanation, I do not think this was a drone. The object was too high (~300-1000 ft.) and too large (~5-20 ft. tall) to be a drone, at least one available to the public. It was also too motionless, for too long. It did not drift or tilt in the wind; it simply did not move. Even an experienced drone pilot probably cannot keep one completely still for several minutes in outdoor conditions. I do not contend that the object I saw was (or was not) extraterrestrial. I honestly do not know what it was or where it came from. But I definitely saw something—a tangible object—in the sky that I cannot identify or explain.

Columbus, OH
Columbus, OH, June 25, 2017, 8:10 PM See attached drawing. Object faded in and out of view three times. Visible from 10 to 15 seconds each time. At first, I thought I was seeing a cloud pass in front of the object but there were no clouds or fog between me and the object. While visible, the object was not moving. However, each time it would appear again it was in different portions of the sky, probably a mile distant from the position it was in maybe thirty seconds before. It almost appeared to be an object that was somehow able to cloak itself from view but the mechanism for cloaking was slipping momentarily out of service.

Bermuda/Florida coast (between), Atlantic Ocean
While looking out of the window of our airplane, I saw an object going straight into the sky and kind of blowing a feather shape cloud up in the air. The shape was sharp lined. After that, the feather shaped was "swirled" around 3 quarters of a circle around the object after which the object followed the shape in the opposite direction of where you usually see a white line behind a plane when high up. It was literally pushing the feather like shape direction Bermudas. The object had a beige like color, but I could not see a shape or anything...just a beige "thing" following the feather like shape it just threw out. It happened above the Atlantic Ocean between Bermudas and the Florida Coast line. Because the windows of the airplane had to be closed, I think I was the only one seeing it, sitting on the right side of the plane above the wings. It was a very strange experience.

Port Orchard, WA
At 8:00 pm tonight 2/7/2017 while driving from GIG HARBOR, WA, to Bremerton wa. the sky illuminated a blue light, so bright it caused me to slow from 60 mph down to 20 mph on the highway...the first illumination i could see a circular formation maybe 2 football fields wide, the light went away,, as i stared for 5 seconds it came back ,this time it illuminated blue, so bright like when lightning hits, but this stayed for 20 seconds, all of a sudden bright white lights in a circular pattern from within the blue light shined straight out like a lighthouse light , or rays of sun through the clouds, but this was maybe 8 lights at the same time ....then the white lights went off and blue light dissipated, and was gone.this felt and appeared as this was something from another world...i would love to submit an illustration to maybe help.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be exceptionally eloquent, and serious minded. We suspect that he is highly reliable, and a very good witness. PD

Lahore (Pakistan), Pakistan
Was watching new years fireworks in the balcony on 31/12/16 and 1/1/17 in Lahore, Pakistan. Noticed among fireworks and idiots firing tracer bullets. Noticed orange orbs flying in one common direction at different heights at the same speed. Now I thought were flying lanterns, but would not explain their level height they were several more than 50, from one end of horizon to another.

I took a picture in the SSW sky of a beautiful cloud formation and noticed two days later that there was a small round object in the picture. When it was enlarged, the detail was very clear. It had 8 equally spaced dots on the periphery and 4 lighted dots in the interior of the circle. It appeared to be hovering. We suspect Venus, or a lens flare. PD

Bethany Beach, DE
My son and I were sitting on a bench along the sidewalk in Bethany beach Delaware. My sons wife and 2 small children were window shopping. My son and I were watching 3 airplanes flying approximately 2 or 3 miles apart in a easterly directions with long contrails, maybe 20 to 25 thousand ft. The middle airplane was above us. All of a sudden we saw a silver cone saucer shaped object coming from the north east. The object approach the airplane, we thought they we going to collide. The object flew along side the airplane for maybe 2 seconds. Then speed off to the southwest for a few seconds the blinked out! We were astonished that we just witnessed a UFO.. Total time around 10 seconds. Time of day, 11:10 am..

Seguin, TX
I went outside in my back yard and noticed a large, brighter than normal "star" that was not moving, through the trees. As I looked closer I saw it had white, red and green lights.When I measured with my arm out in front of me, it was about 45 degrees above horizon. I have a porch light, but the yard is large and at the back of the yard it is very dark. Because of the trees blocking my view, I went into the street in front of my house and saw it was cone/triangular in shape but very long and narrow. I started trying to take a picture of it because my and my neighbor's porch lights were both off but, because a camera on a phone is not good quality, all I got was a larger than normal white light. My neighbor joined me in the street, and I asked him what he saw. He said "I don't know, that isn't normal." I asked him if he saw red, white and green colored lights and he said "Yes." There was also a small aircraft with 2 blue lights flying by that was easily identified as an airplane. I went back out at 20:19pm, stood in the same place in the street, and it is gone. I saw another craft in June. I put a short video on Youtube titled "Star Gazing Over Texas."

High Point, NC
Whilst outside painting the house with my granddaughter, my granddaughter alerted me to some strange objects floating in the sky. I proceeded to look in the direction she was pointing and noticed 3 shuttlecock-shaped objects floating slowly through the air above tall bushes in our yard. They were gold in color with no sound coming from them. We immediately contacted other family members to describe what we saw. Before any other family members were able to come home, the objects disappeared into thin air. We have not seen those particular objects since but, have seen much more mysterious activity in the following days.

Granbury, TX
I reside in Granbury, TX. This evening, about 1930 hours, as I went to retrieve my flag, I was looking off to the west northwest and observed an object in the sky. Low on the horizon. Didn’t think too much of it, but on closer inspection I noticed it had a trailing portion to the object. As I continued to watch the object it appeared to be relatively stationary. I went inside my home and retrieved a spotting scope I had and focused in on the object. Still appeared stationary. It had an obvious tailing apart from the frontal portion of the object. It appeared to continue to be stationary but due to the rotation of the Earth in was on a downward trajectory relative to the night sky and my position. It did not appear to be lessening in intensity at all. That is all I can report as I’m obviously not very technical in my description. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and serious-minded. We asked whether the object might have been a "twinkling" star, and he stated that it was not. PD

Yucaipa, CA
On October 9, 2016, at 18:17hrs, I witnessed a dark, cone shaped object moving slowly in a South/South West direction. What caught my attention was that the object was moving in an oblique pattern, precisely changing direction along a straight path. I retrieved my binoculars, and observed that there was what appeared to be an antenna/sensor array protruding horizontally from the top of the object. I maintained visual contact until it was out of my range of sight @ 18:20hrs. I viewed this event from the North Eastern portion of Yucaipa, CA.

Bristol, TN
Sighted in moving car. 3 miles from race track (Springfield Acres subdivision). Looked like a fireball at first. Orange ball with an orange ice cream cone tail coming to a point. Out of car it had turned into just a large orange ball moving rapidly North North East. Looked like a jet plane at night except light size was much bigger, at least 5 times bigger, and orange like a camp fire flame. Went behind clouds. At first sight in the car I though it might be a hot air balloon. Out of car I thought it might be a rocket or a jet plane on fire because it was moving so fast. Shrunk quickly in size but not in intensity. No sound. Neighbors weren't out so no one around me had noticed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Round Rock, TX
I and my 6 years old daughter were playing at the Brushy Creek in Round Rock. While I went back to my car to get water, my daughter saw a UFO slowly flying by above. She did not mention anything about it until next day. The next morning she told me about it. I don't know why she did not mention to me that time. May be she was so confused or something, you know how kids act sometimes. She said it was cone shape and color was metallic and 5 green lights on the side, and yellow light on bottom, and she could recognize windows (see picture). She drew a picture to me and it was a really clear image.

Eugene, OR
I saw a green flight coming down from the sky, it seemed to paused while entering an invisible or unknown atmosphere change. It came down gathering speed. It was a very bright lime green. It had a ball with the main part and a lighter green fading into a tail. It fell behind the trees. I was waiting for a sound of either a crash, or people shouting, but none came. That seemed to be the whole event. It was very clear that it happened, but I do not know on what it is or could be.
