Bartlett, IL
(Disclaimer: This is an old story from when I was in high school, I've since moved away. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I have several videos but will not put them online as part of them takes place at my house) My friends and I were driving around and saw a strange aircraft, a cross shape with rounded ends like two popsicle sticks. There was a white light on each end. It flew straight, stopped in midair and hovered, then flew another direction without turning. We tried following it, but we noticed a lot of helicopters in the sky including one that seemed to always be going the same way we were, so we grew anxious and gave up the chase. We witnessed the aircraft again (or a different one) near the intersection of Bartlett & 59, and this time it was doing flips in the air. About the size of a 747 or something but definitely not a plane. It would rotate upside down (if it even had a sense of 'upside down'), fly around, stop on a dime, go a different direction, go straight up or straight down while parallel to the ground, a lot of different things. It flew off to the north and we gave up following. Then we saw another one on Struckman Blvd near Sunrise Park. It was the most active, doing barrel rolls and all the actions described above. It was also lower in the sky, so we got a sense of how big it was. As we headed home, suddenly the sky was full of big passenger planes (Boeings and such) flying extremely low with bright lights on, so bright they functioned as spotlights on the ground and too low to realistically land anywhere except the small local airport (though that was in a different direction). Obviously they didn't crash, but it seemed like they were looking for something.

I'm an Uber driver, so I spend a lot of later nights out. I was taking a break waiting for something to happen with work, and I was on the phone with my wife. I was leaned back in the seat looking up through the sunroof, a habit I developed because of an interest in the UFO subject, when I saw something in the sky. I told my wife, and she said to get off the phone and try to record it. I got out of my car and looked up and saw a craft, shaped like a letter t, or a cross. The best way I can describe it is, the horizontal line of the cross was very close to the top, almost like an uppercase T. It was illuminated, but not like, from lights, like the craft it self was emitting the light. And it was silent, like ZERO SOUND. By the time I took all of this in, I realized I was still holding my phone and was able to snap a few quick pictures. It all took less than a minute. I'm not good with guessing the height of something in the air, but it wasn't very high up, ma! ybe helicopter height. Like a few hundred to a thousand feet up. It was moving very fast, I was facing north,it was traveling from West to East, and again completely silently. I know what a plane, helicopter,and drones sound like and this wasn't any of those. I'm positive because while I was still looking up, hoping it would turn around, and I could get some video, a helicopter sped by very loudly in the same direction. I'm almost certain it was chasing the craft. I went that same night on Reddit to post any the experience, and see if anyone else has seen it. I got a response from a guy who said he was on I95 north, and he and his girlfriend had seen a strange craft in the sky. I'm sure it was the same one, 95 north would have been to the east, the same direction the craft was going.

tumbling cross-like with black 'wings' and white center columns. colors were square in shape. thought it was a trash bag until I noted altitude (just below clouds) and the fact it was tumbling about. Maybe it was trash that could fly and tumble endlessly in the air. Nonetheless, UFO!

the object looked like a plus sign with one larger light in the center and three smaller lights to each of the four sides of the plus shape. At the end of each seemed to look like a faded headlight. I first saw it about 11:15 PM and by 11:38 PM it seemed to have just up and disappeared. Then half hour later it was back, watched till the clouds came in maybe 20 more minutes and couldn't see anything.

Vancouver, WA
There was complete darkness outside as it was past midnight, and there was one object that seemed to be almost a yellow tinged color with a cross like shape. Almost seemed to have beams out the sides and top and bottom. It did seem to be rotating around horizontally, but in a stationary position in the sky. When rotating, the object got brighter and the shape morphed a little more rounded. It definitely was not an aircraft, as I have flown and studied them. It was stationary in the sky with no altitude change during the duration I was watching. It was too low to be a star/satellite. There were aircraft flying during this 20 minute duration that exhibited no similarities to this object as they moved across the sky in a different color and flashing alternating lights.

The craft was coming from northeast to southwest, got close enough that we could see two blinking lights so thought it was just a plane, didn’t come close enough to be able to see clearly that it was a plane, blinking lights were not very far apart. I walked off our deck into the grass, looking away for maybe 5 seconds. The craft was nowhere to be found, skies perfectly clear there is no possible way for it to just disappear being close enough to see blinking lights.

I have short video. First appeared as distant light moving around fast in the distance. Then approached me on the hwy driving 65mph in a reverse fly same speed as me shining a bright blinding light. I flashed my brights at it and it sped off on a flash. Came back around a min later and did a fly by then quickly disappeared

Cross shaped consisting of multiple white lights does not seem to move. Lights stay on and don't blink. I looked through binoculars. This is not a plane!

Old Forge, PA
The weather was mostly sunny, few clouds in the clear blue sky. A yellow colour completely silent object, in the shape of a bird or conventional monoplane. Rough guess, but flew as high as a propeller plane. Flew in a straight line for maybe 12 seconds, then began to waver side to side. It then began to spiral downwards and disappeared into the clear blue sky.

Irvine, KY
I work for the Fire Department in my hometown. I had just got off work and had pulled into my driveway at home. As I exited my car, I noticed a very bright white light in the sky. I stopped and began looking at this light, thinking it may be a medical helicopter taking off from a nearby helipad. As I looked at this light it didn’t take long for me to rule out it being a helicopter. What I was looking at was actually at least 3 very bright, white balls of light. These balls of light looked to possibly be connected. And directly above and below these balls of lights was either a long, thin stream of light or possibly some sort of lit up structure. Sort of reminded me of a jack, like you would find in a children’s game. Only it was a brilliant white color. As I began to study this object, I began to notice that the balls of white light were actually rotating around fairly slow. There was definitely no sound whatsoever. I live out in a more rural area of the co! unty. There was not a cloud in the sky when I observed this object. I had a very clear, unobstructed, view of this object. It was fairly high up in the sky, but not nearly as high as other objects such as stars or possible satellites. Things such as that can definately be ruled out. I continued to watch this object for 30 minutes or so. During this time period the object never appeared to move up or down, or left or right. It only sat in one spot and rotated. After 30 minutes, I began to get cold, as well as needed to get some sleep. So I went on in my home and went to bed. Oh, one last thing... I did take a couple of pictures of this object with my cellphone. But unfortunately you can’t make out any of the details of it. All you can see is one bright white light in the photo.

Black Mountain, NC
I am a truthful person, with my friend from church this night. We both saw the same thing I was driving home with a friend from Church, looking to my left (West) to see if the road was clear, I saw an odd looking low hanging “Light”. I said my my friend “ WHAT IS THAT??” She saw it then & exclaimed as I did. The light was just hanging low, very bright as a star, but it had kind of “Spikes” of light, even like a “Tail” of light. But is was all light, not other color. It was too low for a star & it wasn’t moving, at least didn’t seem to be. I drove my car as I took pictures (!) then tried to find a hill unobstructed by trees & hills to take more pictures & to watch this thing. We spent probably close to an hour watching & taking pictures. Most of them were from my phone. Some videos were taken by me, as we watched it change shapes, in the videos it was pulsating a LOT. We got cold, it was late, so we reluctantly went home, When I put the pictures on my computer I got a BIG surprise. There was an object in the last few pictures of that night. It was in only 1 picture. We did not see this when we were watching. It obviously had no lights or sound ( or maybe it was too far to hear it) I can clearly see a “Craft” very close to this Light we were watching. Neither of us know what we saw, & I sure don’t know what this is on this 1 picture. I tried to edit it out, it won’t go away, so it is definitely there. A solid object that we didn’t see.

Wasilla, AK
I didn’t go anywhere or do anything I normally wouldn’t do. I was standing at my window smoking a cigarette and as I was putting it out I looked up and saw a air vehicle that I thought was a Cessna, that was entering my field of view from the left. It was over the back of Wasilla lake when I saw it. It moved slowly like a plane and seemed to look like a concept vehicle at over a couple thousand feet. It had a red light you would see on the wing of a plane and an engine sound. What I couldn’t focus on for a moment was when the engine quit running and I thought it would crash. It was a sound effect of a plane that stopped. It turns towards me and begins to bring the bottom of the craft upright as it’s approaching. As this occurred, I put my hand up slowly over my heart and away in front of it. There was one slow turn until it stopped about 40 feet in front of me. I acted like shaking its hand and returned my hand over my heart. As I looked it over, it was floating in front of me pointed parallel to the building I was in and not at me; it had a cross reaching all the way to the sides with no unnecessary markings except for the red light. This red light was situated on the top part of the cross which represents intelligent action in the way it was on top since it turned towards me from the lake. I was a few feet from my phone but I was stunned to move naturally and I had my gf sleeping in bed right next to me. I didn’t want to wake her. After about five minutes as it seems to be off to my right like presenting me with an award or something, it starts to leave to the left, slowly and in the same position it was in last. Professionally, it seemed it was checking on a post nearby. I have experience because I’m a veteran so perhaps maybe I was more valuable than the regular person. It was excellent and exciting to witness and I had love in my heart and it made sense to me. I’m not cruel. Nothing around it was moving, and it became stationary when it stopped. I didn’t have the motivation to do mo! re than witnessing this astronomical event.

There were four red lights. Two lights with a space and then two more lights. They were horizontal. Flashed on for two seconds, then off for two seconds. Back on and off. But when they came back on they were vertical. Stayed on again for two seconds and gone.

Driving down hwy 65. Saw something rectangular shaped in sky but wasn’t moving. Pulled off next street to take photo and it was gone. I don’t normally believe in this stuff, but this spooked me out big time, and I had to share.

Moments later a second one came floating from the same direction across the sky until it reached virtually the same location and then vanished as well. It's path was more direct without stops and starts. We looked through the binoculars but could only make out a dark object shaped like a cross with a light on the top and bottom or triangle in which only one half was visible by the light on the craft.

Huntington Beach, CA
I was in Huntington Beach just about to park my car and have lunch. I was facing west towards the sunset. I over heard a passenger airline jet cut and turn which made me just look up at the sky. no over cast just a few mid size clouds cruising by. As I was looking up in a daze I noticed a quiet aircraft which seemed to look like a single engine cesna plane. But the way it was flying and how high up it was didn't seem right. As I excited my vehicle to get a better look at it. the ufo made a side ways move and went into a cloud and never came out of it. the cloud was moving NW and the object was traveling NE. it kind of looked like a satellite. then briefly 1 minute after a smaller object came from the same distance and appeared to be smaller, but it could have been at a higher altitude. it also went into a cloud and never came out.
