Los Angeles, CA
I was returning to work on the 110 freeway heading north. Traffic was moving slowly due to a recent downpour. At the edge of downtown Los Angeles near the Convention center, I noticed a metallic, copper-colored object that appeared to be floating along. It was a couple of hundred feet up and a bit west of the roadway. I assumed it was a mylar balloon because it looked like it was drifting along in the wind. As it passed over the freeway and I could see it juxtaposed with one of the skyscrapers, I realized that it was quite large – easily the size of an average car. At first I thought it was spherical, but then it seemed to rotate and I could see that it was saucer-shaped. The object continued heading east and moved out view. I assume other people saw it, but I was alone in my own car.

The object appeared to be quite far away, possibly over the mountain between Morongo and Desert Hot Springs.

At 6:05 P.M on 1/11/2017 I ((name deleted)), was sitting on my front porch looking at 5 jets flying in the sky. After 15 minutes they flew off and could no longer see them in the sky. At exactly 6:22 P.M I looked into the sky, and to my left I saw not one but two very bright disc shaped craft flying faster then anything iv ever seen in our skies one on top of the other, whitish in color. They were flying in what looked like the direction of the military base close by my house. These craft stopped in mid air, hovered for just a moment then started flying back into the opposite direction were they originally came from. After three seconds the craft on top flew in front of there craft below. The second craft admitted a flash of light twice then both craft vanished into thin air. I never took my eyes off of them the entire time. Once they vanished I saw a jet fly directly into the same path were the two crafts vanished. I remember seeing the two crafts flying in a very odd manner. They were not fly straight like a plain or jet would, they flew in a very fast circular motion. I have never seen anything quite like this before. I now am a firm believer that there things in our skies that we can’t explain. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a reliable, and skilled, witness. PD

My friends and I moved towards where my friend thought he saw the saucer land. We spent about 20 minutes looking until we found it. The Saucer was about 10ft by 10ft and was like a Frisbee almost. It landed in an awkward position, revealing kind of on its side. We were all freaking out at this point and did not have any idea what we were looking at. We spent only a short amount of time looking at the crashed saucer because a hatch opened at the bottom revealing a creature that was most definitely NOT HUMAN. We all saw the creature or alien reveal itself and ran as fast as we possibly could. We all got in my car and drove away talking about what we just saw. We came to a consensus that the creature looked like Yoda from star wars just without the pointy ears. I swear this is a true story and I have friends that saw the same thing as me.

Shafter, CA
ok we were going down a free way to are land we own. Just as we were getting ready to turn I saw a ball in the sky just sitting their not moving but low enough to se some detail. it was tan kind of like skin with dents in it kind of like a ball with half of the air gone. I ask my husband what is that he said maybe a weather balloon said its to small and its completely still. Well we turned the corner and as we are coming up to are land I notice another ball by are water tanks at the rear of are land. I jump out of the truck and run up top of the hill behind the tanks. The ball was really low about to stores it look like the one I had seen by the hwy it looked like it was organic like human skin. so my husband walks up beside me and says I don't no what it is but its landing I look straight ahead and there it was a sliver disc it must have been really hot the air around it was rippleing. it was huge and landing so I look back up to the ball and its gone I look ahead and the saucer is gone. What is even stranger is that I watch alien shows all the time what I never see is a ufo with guards or what ever the balls were. I feels good to finally tell someone.

Uxbridge, MA
Was sitting in my living room when I felt the house rumble. I looked outside the window and a large saucer with circular lights was covering just above the tree right outside my window, so close to the house I could see details--circular lights, tin colored, very sturdy looking. When I called for my significant other to come over, as soon as he approached the window, the saucer flew off so quickly it was almost uncatchable.

as it turned back to the west, this object, was about 20 to 30 ft in diameter, shiny silver and very very fast, when it turned back to the west i would estimate the speed at 3,000 mph or so almost like it disappeared , but still visible. I witnessed this object at the intersection of county road D and silver lake road, in the wallgreens parking lot, not sure if other people seen this object. this was a amazing event, that i still think about everyday, not a plane, not a helicopter, no noise came from this object, very shocking. i could see the actual size of this disk in its banking turn, very shocking. ther was also a red haze behind this object as it accelerated away from me. ((ADDENDUM FROM ALLEGED WITNESS)) i want to make a correction, about my sighting. 12/27/16 disk over silver lake road and county road d, in newbrighton mn , the disk did a banking u turn and headed back to the east, not to the west as stated, ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Simpsonville, SC
Let my dog outside to backyard. Saw what looked like a hazy white trail leading straight down to horizontal lights (3 blinking right to left white? and red in a row) midway down from the night sky. I went into my house after a minute or so to get my camera to zoom in to see what it was. This took about a minute and a half to two minutes. When I went back outside and looked in the same general area, the trail and craft were no longer visible. I looked all round the sky, and saw to my right and further up and farther away in the distance what appeared to be the same pattern of blinking lights traveling to the right a very fast pace. I then went from my backyard thru my carport to the front yard hoping to capture an image or video, but just that quick- it was not in sight. After squinting my eyes trying to locate it, I think I caught sight of it even higher and further away and so faint, it was hard to say for sure that that is what it actually was. Of note, to the left of the trail/craft and higher up I noticed what I'm assuming to be the "North Star" looking exceptionally bright.

At the stated date and time, I noticed a brilliant cloud formation that caught my eye. I stopped and gazed up to the SSW and took a picture of the angelic cloud shapes. Two days later, I looked at my phone camera pictures and noticed a small round object in the sky on this shot. I enlarged it and was astonished as the detail and amazing symmetry. I am most interested in finding out what are the possibilities. We have requested permission to view the photo, but have not yet received a copy of the image. PD

Platanias (Greece) · Greece
I honestly don’t care if anyone believes me but I feel the need to tell someone about this. My wife and I were walking down the beach just outside of Platanias star gazing. It’s a small village West of the city of Chania on the island of Crete in Greece. I saw something out of the corner of my eye to the right (on the land side not over the ocean) and it was some kind of craft clear as day. It was odd shaped. Definitely closer to a saucer than any other shape but much wider in the middle than the stereotypical ones you see in movies and the edges were more rounded. It was covered with lights around the middle and on the bottom but they weren’t the same. Some of them were brighter than others and some were clearly different colors. I distinctly remember seeing some shades of red but it was mainly yellow light like from a light bulb. I was in the Army a long time and have seen many different aircraft and it wasn’t anything of ours. It’s hard to say exactly how far away it was because it’s hard to judge the distance and size of something when it’s in the air at night, but if I had to guess it appeared to be maybe 3 or 4 city blocks away, approximately 100-150 feet off of the ground, relative to the houses down below. If you were to take your index finger and thumb and measure about 2.5 to 3 inches between them and hold it at arm’s length away from your face. That would be about how big it appeared. My wife and I stood there for a second very confused and then the lights dimmed and it was gone. I didn’t see if zip away or anything, the lights just dimmed to black over the span of a second or so and it was ‘’gone’’ or perhaps just hovering in the dark. It made zero sound and there was no wind that night to carry off the sound of a chopper. There is nothing it could have been confused with. Trust me I’ve tried! my hardest to debunk it. There are no mountains behind that area and the shape was very clear. The whole event lasted only a few seconds, but I got a very good look at it. I tried to report it to the government but they don’t accept these things apparently. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately and came across this site. I know it’s probably not of any use but I just had to tell someone. Maybe you collect data to look for patterns or something. I’m not familiar with this type of stuff. This isn’t exactly the kind of thing you share with family or friends unless you want them to think you’re nuts. I was completely sober by the way and I don’t use drugs of any kind. I hope this helps in some way. Sincerest regards Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

Kayenta, AZ
On December 10th, 2016, at approx. 18:45 hrs., a co-worker and I working at a secure site approx. 3 miles north of Kayenta, AZ, Noticed a series of parallel, pulsating lights in columns covering the entire horizon headed northeast toward Monument Valley, UT. The objects disappeared and then a gigantic disk shaped object rimmed with spinning lights appeared where the previous lights disappeared, also moving slowly in the same direction. The size of the object covered approx. 1/2 of the horizon and did not change size as it moved behind the mountain in the distance. Pre-paid Verizon mobile phone camera not powerful enough to capture anything but a bright planet. I drew pictures of the site and the craft on a piece of notepad paper. No cloud cover, clear sky, just after sunset. While sitting in my patrol vehicle at the secure site, my coworker exclaimed suddenly to turn out my lights and look behind me. I noticed the strange pulsating lights moving in an apparent formation to the north. We both exited our vehicles to watch the lights. They appeared to cover the entire horizon moving in alternating patterns. After approx. 3 minutes they all disappeared and at this time we noticed that new lights began to light up, one after another and begin to "spin" rapidly. Each individual light had a trail behind it, and was a blue flame color. As all of the spinning lights were lit a large "disc" shaped object became apparent. The lights all moved to the left, then right, then from the left side and right side to the center, then left and right again, in apparent patterns. The "disc" was so immense in scale I can only compare it to the ridiculous size of the craft in the movie independence day. We both realized its size because it ! took up approx. 1/2 of the horizon and its size did not change as it moved behind the mountain (mesa?). The entire event lasted approx. 10 minutes. At 18:52 I text messaged my mother to create a time stamp about halfway through the sighting. I have never seen a UFO, though I have seen recordings on the news and internet from time to time, etc. As I write this, almost 24 hours later, I am still shocked. I was an Uber-Skeptic... Reply by email and I can send illustrations if desired, and coordinates of my location at the time.

Newport, ME
My mother and I were traveling in a car towards Newport at 4:30 PM, when a moving light caught my notice. My mother was only able to take a short look at the object as she was driving the car at the time. I watched it for ten minutes, searching over possible explanations for the strange object. It lacked the consistent blinking and red and green light color common to planes. The altitude at which the object maneuvered, I would estimate, was like that of a plane (39,000 feet), possibly lower. The object moved fairly quickly and was lit by white/yellow light which appeared to rotate. I lost sight of the object when it moved behind a large cloud and apparently disappeared.

Westmoreland, NH
As I was hiking through a field from a day of hunting, I stop to rested and gazed upwards into the sky at the crescent moon and planets, I notice a single cloud above me as well in the shape of an wide boomerang then suddenly a small ball shape cloud shot out of it, I thought at the time it’s just a cloud forming, but question myself whether I really saw it shoot out or was it just forming on its own, then it slowly started to evaporate and look more like a circle with brighter outer ring to it, no height that I could tell maybe because I was under it, then it changed shape quickly somewhat like a diamond and shot in a straight line with incredible speed like a streak of a shooting star and then I knew I saw something special and began second guessing myself always home.

The Craft was seen directly overhead, then the witness drove 6 miles down the road. The duration of the drive the craft was following in the sky alongside the vehicle possibly 350-400 yards overhead. The craft appeared to be in the shape of a disc with bright lights with dividers in between the lights. The craft appeared to be vertical, and not horizontal (parallel with the ground). It wasn't traveling at a considerably fast speed. It seemed to be more of gliding along.

Corte Madera, CA
I saw a huge glowing red disc-/cigar-shaped object manuevering back and forth in front of this hill on the east side of Corte Madera. This was a real craft and I saw it through high powered binoculars perfectly clear. It was a bright cherry red and completely lit up like a glowing light bulb. It had no lights on it, there was no haze around it and the whole craft was totally luminous. I got an incredible look at it. even though I was about 3 or 4 miles away, I saw everything. It came from over the top of this hill and abruptly stopped near the right top of this hill. I specifically noticed that when this craft was moving it was a bright cherry red and when it slowed down and hovered, it changed to a dull orange brownish color. This craft dropped way down on this hillside almost landing on the grass and I could see the top of this object. It had some kind of a slanted curved dome like structure on the top and once again when it slowed down it turned a burnt ora! nge color. This object disappeared and re-appeared several times in various locations on the west side of this hill before it finally travelled from left to right and went in between 2 sets of hills at really low level and headed toward Mill Valley and Tiburon. I was looking down at this object from up in the hills toward the west and I could see it perfectly clear from the top and from the side through the binoculars. The night was perfectly clear and the size of this thing and the luminous glowing of this object was unbelievable. I believe that other people might have also seen this as it was near the 101 Freeway and this incident happened at about 7:30 to 7:40 P.M., I wanted to mention that I had a "cluster of lights" sighting on 11-10-16 with 2 other witnesses. We saw a group of 8 to 15 orbs of light in San Rafael near the Bay. I am mentioning this because you have other San Rafael sighting being reported on 11-09 and 11-11-16 by independent witnesses.

Bailey, CO
I had stepped out on my tiny porch to view the stars as I often do. When I looked up in the northwest sky I saw a disk like saucer with non-flashing green lights about a half mile away. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had taken my phone out with me and began taking pictures of this vehicle. It was odd because it came very close to the path of an airliner. The green lights were surrounding the perimeter of this UFO. It made no noise. I counted at least 8 that I could see. My photos showed how this object didn't just fly horizontal, but was wobbling to vertical at times. I was able to capture 40 pictures. The UFO is very hard to see but I have three great ones. It almost looks like a green beaded necklace. I am very excited to have seen something that no one can explain.

Spearfish, SD
We saw a bright light in SW sky, much brighter than stars. When I got out a spotting scope you could see it was strobing colors. When I put it on highest power it was clearly a flattened disk with different colored lights on edges. I went outside to take a picture and it had dropped 15 to 20 degrees and now sat right on the horizon. This was a matter of a minute or two at most. It was in the clouds and I couldn't get a picture.

Zebulon, NC
I was visiting girlfriend’s home for Thanksgiving Holiday to meet parents, went outside with her father, brother, and girlfriend when we saw the saucer. The neighbor’s dog was ballistic. The UFO hurtled back and forth between the two yards, about the size of a trash can lid, and struck the dog on the side. Saucer also grazed my girlfriend and her brother. We had all had a drink, but we were all sober enough to know what we saw. The craft had an undistinguishable colour and the lighting was poor, however, we were able to see strange black characters inscribed on the (presumed) hull of the UFO. The craft landed and took off several times throughout our observation of the events. Later, some scorch marks were found in the lawn. The object did not have lights of its own; however, it did emit an aquamarine glow, making it more difficult to see the colour of the UFO’s body. No life forms were seen. Possibly an alien drone? A government drone? As for observer backgrounds, my girlfriend is studying finance and accounting at a university near our apartment, but we observed the object at her parents’ house in Zebulon. Her father is an employee at the pharmaceutical company in the town, and her brother was also visiting from college. I, myself, am a sales rep for a large company located in Washington state. We suspect a hoax. Telephone number provided by witness is non-functional. Source of report has not responded to an e-mail. PD

Grand Junction, CO
I was sitting out on my porch when I saw something moving through the trees out by the road a thousand or so yards down and I dismissed it as an owl or something. But as it emerged from obscurity I could tell that this was a large, spherical entity, rotating on an axis somehow. The strange thing was that it seemed to be under the veil of some sort of camouflage, though since it was rotating on an axis it was easily identifiable. I have included another report from later on in the week (last night) regarding a seemingly different type of UFO encounter in the same area. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Beaverton, OR
Looking eastward over the lake/reservoir at Progress Ridge near the Beaverton/Tigard border, two male adult friends and I observed in the distance three radio towers situated in the West Hills that separate downtown Portland from its Western suburbs. It is important to note that the cloud cover was low, but not low enough to obscure any portion of the radio towers in the distance. I'll take this opportunity to say I don't believe what we saw was fireworks exploding within the clouds. In the clouds that appeared to be over the West hills and said radio towers we observed first a massive green light that rotated counter-clockwise. It was orientated as though it was parallel to the ground, and made perhaps only a 90 degree rotation until it disappeared but was replaced (within one second or so) by the exact same shape, only this time in an incredibly quick burst of yellow, then orange, then red colors acting in the same manner. Some 20 seconds later, the exact same reen shape and light occurred again, rotating in the same direction and for roughly the same short amount of time, perhaps a few tenths of a second shorter. Next, only the yellow-colored shape appeared, not the red nor the orange. The object certainly appeared to be concealed precisely within the clouds that were illuminated by the city lights of downtown Portland, but they were absolutely distinct from those city lights. It reminded me of the handheld game "Simon Says" the way the colors changed from one to another, and the nature of the colors was reminiscent of the the taillight of a car, as if there was a membrane containing an inner light-producing object. There were also a larger number of aircrafts in that apparent area of the sky just before the lights occurred. Perhaps this could be explained by the vicinity of PDX airport, but the aircraft seemed to remain in the affected area for a far longer time than one would expect of any aircraft approaching the airport. They also seemed to be physically closer to one another than is seemingly typical for civilian aircrafts. I am no expert in aviation by any means, but it seemed as if they were flying in formation, sort of like you'd see whenever those F16 (or various fighter jets) fly overhead every so often (they didn't sound like fighter jets, I might add.) The object appeared to be massive, but seemed to be deliberately concealed by the cloud cover of the late evening. Finally, I believe it is important to note that my two friends and I instantaneously grabbed one another by the sleeves of our jackets and stepped backwards, and all of us admitted to immediately feeling a sense of fear and dread, like you sometimes experience when in the woods and you feel like an animal or another person is nearby but you can't see them. (I don't say this for dramatic effect, and I don't want to appear sensationalist, I just think it's important to note the immediate sensory reactions we experienced when we saw these lights.) They did not return after their second episodic light show, but the cloud cover over downtown Portland did seem noticeably brighter than before.
