Bowling Green, KY
We seen it fly over the road we was driving on then it hovered above a field. It was so bright. It just sat still for a minute or so then went backwards the way it came from, very fast, then dropped down behind some trees. It was huge and so bright.

Greenfield, WI
Driving down 76th St, heading south towards 894 to get on highway. Saw a disk in the sky moving slowly going from east to west. Way too low for an airplane, maybe about 400-500 feet off the ground. Unusual look to it because it was so bright at times, assuming it was sunlight reflecting off of it but maybe it was its own light as well. Object stopped and got a better look at it. It was silver, disk-shaped, wouldn't say it was a large object but a good enough size. It sat there for about 20 seconds then it began to move southwest, starting slowly then picking up speed, going so fast that it was just a dot in about 20ish seconds. The whole thing lasted about 2 minutes, maybe close to three. First time experiencing something like this, never thought it would be this casual in the day time.

Valle Vista, CA
On October 15, 2016, about 1330 PDT, I was doing yard work in the front yard when I stopped to watch a helicopter fly low overhead to the east. While watching the helicopter, I caught sight of a group of objects much higher and further away in the sky. They appeared as 5 off white oval or disk shaped objects flying in a V pattern coming towards me from the NE. As I watched, the objects shifted position, from a close V formation, then more space between them, a straight line with objects abreast, a diagonal line with one object in the lead, then a random group while they went back to a V formation. The sun was to my back and almost directly overhead, when the objects were almost overhead, it became more difficult to see them, only a small part of the leading edge was illuminated by the sun, the underside disappeared as it blended in with the hazy blue sky, finally disappearing as they passed close to the sun. It is my opinion the objects were solid and being illuminated by the sun on their upper surface. No noise that could be attributed to the objects was heard. Other aircraft were in the sky at the time, both civil and commercial. The weather was clear of clouds, but there was haze or smoke in the sky. I am a retired law enforcement officer, over 30 years experience. My hobby is aircraft spotting, these did not resemble any known aircraft.

Hayti, MO
While driving north on I-55 through Missouri, I saw a UFO. Around mile marker 17 near Hatti, MO, I saw a fast moving object coming towards me at a low altitude. At first I thought it was a fighter jet but it was moving so fast and made no sound. As it got closer, I saw it was saucer shaped, but flat and squared off on the bottom. The entire front bottom edge was lit up a bright blue on the side coming towards me. If it was a fighter jet the bright glow should've been on the back side. It couldn't have been more then 500-1,000 feet above the ground. I've never seen anything like it and I've been around a lot of military jets.

Yosemite National Park, CA
This is cellphone footage from a friend of mine out west that was sent to me. He was filming the landscape and making funny "blinking eye" motions over the phone camera for comedic effects. He actually did not notice that he captured a video of a UFO until later when he was doing a slow motion effect to his footage. He told me he couldn't see the object at all at normal speed. The first object appears flying through the sky and slightly banking to its right extremely fast (even while in slow motion) and completely silent, the second one is barely visible but it appears shortly after the first one from the top right and continues to the top left, near the end of its flight path the footage returns to normal speed and if stepped forward you can see it start to ascend. I noticed that the second one sort of wobbles as it flies, like a balancing plate. We were both in the military together and agreed that as far as we knew, our aircraft technology hadn't gotten so good to be THAT fast AND SILENT at the same time. Originally we thought there was only one UFO in the film until somehow I spotted the second one. It's tough to spot and easy to miss.

Columbia, MD
Saw a disc-shaped object moving slowly and high in the sky. At first I thought it was a remote-controlled toy of some sort, but it was very high in sky and moved slowly across several blocks until I couldn’t see it any more. It appeared to be white or silver, but it was bright sunlight and hard to tell. I took a video with my phone.

Darby, MT
October 8th, 2016 around 5pm MDT, I went to Hannon Memorial Fishing Access South of Darby, MT. Trapper Peak looked nice so I took several pictures of it. A few minutes later, in the shade, I was going through the pics to see what might be best and deleting poor ones. I noticed what I thought was a bird in one of the pictures and zoomed in to see what it was. To me it looked like a flying hard hat (only much larger) several miles away. I posted it to FaceBook and said I would zoom in and crop the picture later that evening. I did not see the object when taking the pictures, it wasn’t until a bit later that I noticed it in the photo. When I got home, I looked at the pictures on my Galaxy S4 phone. On that particular picture, I hit edit, then crop. I zoomed in on the original to the spot in question then slid the crop outline over there and saved the “cropped” image. I posted it to Facebook. Next, I took the “cropped” picture (which now had a .png extension) and did the same thing, zoom, crop and save. I did it a third time and Posted both of these to FaceBook. To me it looks like some kind of flying saucer. I have the original picture on my camera (.jpg extension). Clicking on the “details” button, it shows the date, time and sequence number of the picture. I will email the original picture to the address given along with my FaceBook address. If someone wants to verify the picture, I’d be happy to show them. Photo shows an amorphous, blurry, dark object above a distant ridge. We cannot confirm that the object is a genuine UFO. Moreover, we suspect that the object, because of its asymmetry, may be a bird in flight. PD

At first I saw bright flashes of light behind the clouds. White, red and green Then I saw red rectangle lights coming through the clouds then clearly I saw a disc shape saucer with red rectangle lights around it.It was very big and only about the height of what a helicopter would fly. After hoovering in one spot for around 5 seconds It disappeared..For a few seconds after I saw white and red flashes of light behind the clouds.

Eureka, CA
While driving, I noticed a large disc shaped metallic object in the sky above The Humboldt Bay. The metal was shiny and reflective. I was working with a client of mine who yelled "Look up! What is that?" I looked up and I noticed the disc shaped metallic object in the sky. It was very reflective! As I passed a set of trees it was gone! I know this is very similar to the other guys story on 8/ something/2016, but the stories were exactly the same and even over a bay! The only thing different was that the clouds around that area were all bowed. The further we drove the more the clouds went back to normal.

Port Richey, FL
Hovering and making abrupt movements before descending. Green and red lights flashing. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 3 times as bright as Venus when it's low in the sky. Pretty big in size too Looked like a low jet coming in except it wasn't moving. It took off vertically, claimed very high at a high rate of speed then just stopped for a period. Then dipped below the trees in the distance. I thought maybe a quadcopter type of device. But when it was still it was dead still. Very windy here with hurricane Mathew looming! Not sure a quadcopter could handle the winds like this craft did but I could be wrong. Also, the light pattern was unlike what I'm seeing on YouTube. It had a fast blinking plain green/red light. More like a normal aircraft. ((END ADDENDUM))

The craft/object was a large silver dial glowing white, with a bright red he in than center with a protruding blue cylinder. Several people were driving, a few appeared to watch the massive object. We are uncertain as to whether this report is intended as a serious-minded account of a sighting. PD

Regina (Canada), SK · Canada
Husband and I were on highway 48 between Davin and White City near Regina. Spotted a bright light in the sky. As we drew closer we realised the light was hovering. The object was disk shaped (the light dimmed and we could see the body of the object more clearly). It kept pace with the car for a minute or so. Then as we watched it got smaller and smaller, as if moving upwards, and then disappeared.

Millsap, TX
I was driving from Stephenville to Fort Worth. It was a clear night without any clouds or rain. I was on I-20 heading East. On the eastern horizon I saw a bright blue flying disk heading towards me and flying directly over the road. It was flying very high at a planes altitude. Slightly lower and to the right of the blue flying saucer was a small plane. The small plane had a red light on the left wing and a white light on the right wing. The plane's lights were flashing lights on both wings. It was much smaller than a commercial plain. It was triangular shaped and flying at a plane's speed while following this blue flying saucer. It was not directly behind it but flying slightly lower and to the right of it. The plane did follow the flying disk, going the exact same route. The bright blue flying saucer was twice as large as the plane and flying higher. It was as bright as a star and was flying incredibly fast. The saucer came from the East and was directly heading West. It seemed like it was going as fast as a shooting star, but it had no light trail or haze. The saucer flew directly parallel to I-20. I watched it directly pass over me threw my sun roof. I saw the bottom of the flying saucer. It apeared to be a perfect circle with a clearly defined blue rim. Even though it was very bright it was not fuzzy around the edges like a light or a star. The saucer kept the perfectly defined circle shape. It flew at an impossible speed, making it from as far as I could see on the Eastern horizon to the Western horizon behind me in 1 to 2 seconds. The small plane followed behind it but at a much slower plane speed. The flying saucer flew in a straight line. The bright blue flying saucer was so fast that I doubted if others on the road even caught a glimpse of it. It was too fast for me to get to my phone. I also saw what I thought was a meteor crash the last time I drove from Stephenville to Fort Worth. It was on September 9th 2016 at 01:00. I was on 281 heading north to I-20 from Stephenville. I saw what looked like an orange shooting star. That turned into a fireball. I watched to see were it landed but it disappeared before it hit the ground, like it burned up. The center of the fireball looked like a black line. These events were within 20 miles of each other, and about a month apart.

If Photo/Video Obtained, Provide Brand and Model: Nikon D90 and Sony DSC-HX200V Personal/Subjective Impression of this Sighting by the Witness(es): N/A Other Sightings in the Past by the Witness(es)? (Yes or No): Yes If Yes, Determine Approximate Number and Frequency: Very often Does/Do the Witness(es) Wish to Remain Anonymous?: Yes, for now. Pepe is a fictitious name. Synopsis of Pepe’s interview in his own words: “On 01Oct16 I took some panoramic photos of El Morro across the Bay of San Juan (El Morro is an old Spanish fortress). I also wanted to take photos of the ferry boat. My wife also took some photos using her camera, a Sony digital model DSC-HX200V. Neither one noticed any hovering object (UFO). On 21Oct16 I decided to review the photos we had taken on 01Oct16. When I zoomed-in on the images I realized there was an unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), a.k.a. UFO, in several of the photos: four (4) taken with the Nikon and one (1) taken with the Sony.” Analysis of photos: Pepe’s camera is a Nikon digital model D90. Pepe advised the date and time settings of the camera are accurate except that the time is off by 12 hr, meaning the photos were taken during the day (PM) and not at night (AM). Details of Photos: The object appears to have moved away from El Morro and then back closer to it, apparently always maintaining the same height of a few hundred feet. Sailing boats were in the bay at the time of the sighting. A ferry boat moved left to right (N to S). Photo 0584 was taken on 01Oct16 at 1:22 PM. Object is observed apparently hovering directly over El Morro or on the water close to it. EXIF version: 0221 F-stop: f/10 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO Speed: ISO-250 Focal Length: 50 mm Max. Aperture: 4.6 35 mm Focal Length: 75 Digital Zoom: 1x (No digital zoom) “Copy 2” and “copy 3” are zoom-ins of the original. The object seems to be saucer shaped. It is tilted relative to the vertical axis by approximately 45 degrees. In the image, the left side is seen lower. The object appears to have on the top a very bright dome in the middle. The light of the dome appears to emanate from it, and not just reflected from the sun. The bottom of the object is observed to be very dark. Of particular interest is the observed concentric halo around the object. Photo 0600 was taken on 01Oct16 at 1:36 PM. EXIF version: 0221 F-stop: f/10 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO Speed: ISO-250 Focal Length: 18 mm Max. Aperture: 3.6 35 mm Focal Length: 27 Digital Zoom: 1x (No digital zoom) Object moved and is now clearly over the water, left (N) relative to El Morro. It is also either lower or farther away from the camera, or both. Photo 0604 was taken on 01Oct at 1:45 PM. EXIF version: 0221 F-stop: f/10 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO Speed: ISO-250 Focal Length: 105 mm Max. Aperture: 5 35 mm Focal Length: 157 Digital Zoom: 1x (No digital zoom) Object is seen still farther away from El Morro into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, left (N) relative to El Morro. Hint: object is seen close to the end of the right exhaust pipe of the ferry boat. Photo 0605 was taken on 01Oct16 at 1:45 PM. EXIF version: 0221 F-stop: f/10 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO Speed: ISO-250 Focal Length: 85 mm Max. Aperture: 5 35 mm Focal Length: 127 Digital Zoom: 1x (No digital zoom) Object is observed closer to El Morro over the water.

St. Augustine, FL
My two friends and I decided to watch the sky at a popular tourist attraction called "the fort" in St. Augustine, Florida. I used to live there, they still do. It was a full moon, we were dancing and talking. All the sudden I see a saucer flying way lower to the ground than a plane would be flying. It was also hovering. Planes DO NOT hover. Helicopters do, but it was NOT a helicopter. It was clearly saucer shaped. It was lighted up, I can't recall what colors. It was moving in strange ways, back ans forth, side to side. I was so shocked. I pointed at it to show my friends and said " HOLY $&@&/& IS THAT AN ALIEN SHIP?!" And they both said something that was somewhere along the lines of YEAH!!! The saucer ZOOMED so fast. Fast as lightning away into an abyss. We don't know where it went, it kind of just dissapeared like a ghost. And that was that. We started running away from where we were, back to town, where we felt safe. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Beaverton, OR
The object was flying South, about as high as an airplane, but looked different enough from a plane that it caught our eye and we continued to watch. When it flew over Sexton Mountain Park it "dropped" 2 fireball looking things from it that burned out within a couple of seconds. It continued to fly South until it was out of our view. I caught it all on my cell phone camera and once the objects fell, you can clearly see a hole in the center of the object. Never seen anything like this before.

We were headed east on Sexton Mountain Drive and I see this unusual light/object flying in the sky. I tell my husband to pull over, grab my phone and just as I start to taking pictures, it drops these 2 fireball looking things from it. The fire-looking light on the objects dropped, extinguished within a couple of seconds of dropping. The "aircraft" never stopped flying and continued South until out of our view. I caught several pictures on my phone.

I immediately realized it was not a plane or helicopter, and I thought the only man-made thing it could possibly be was a blimp even though it was more disc shaped. I reached for my camera phone, but the object became obstructed by a row of trees as I drove. When I passed the trees about 4 seconds later the object was gone. At this point I had a clear view of the Bay including the water and the object was nowhere to be seen.

Nanaimo (Canada), BC · Canada
So, I am recalling all of this almost a year later, but there were quite a few witnesses there with me that night and I think it would be interesting to compare our experiences. I was living in south Nanaimo with 3 of my friends as roommates, and we were housing a couple friends who had been traveling. Our house had a deck on the second floor with a great view of mount benson from south nanaimo. We were all hanging out on the deck as it got dark we noticed a bright light like you would see on a plane stationary in the sky above Mount Benson. This light was very bright and it was hovering in the sky at about the level smaller planes fly at. We took a look at the object through a pair of binoculars and although it was hard to keep steady I could make out yellow red and blue lights along the outer edge of a disc shaped object that looked as though it was spinning. I could see the different colored lights rotating around the edge of the object. Beneath it looked li! ke glowing blue tentacles resembling a jellyfish's. All my friends looked at the object through the binoculars and saw the strange spinning disc. The object stayed in the sky for the next few hours as we lost interest. About 3 hours after we first noticed the UFO my friend and I were sitting outside again and I was drawn to look at the object again. Just then, I saw a huge bolt of lightning shoot up FROM THE MOUNTAIN towards the UFO. The lightning bolt stopped a few stories below the object, and I alerted my friend, asking if she had seen it, and in the next moment a huge flash of light in the sky above the UFO. My friend saw the second flash of light and we watched for awhile, after that, but there were no further flashes. The sky was clear with no clouds. There was no sound coming from the object. It continued to hover in the same spot for a couple weeks, with no movement or further flashes of light. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

There is a round object. Green and red in color or more colors in the night sky. From 9/20-9/21/2016. It doesn't seem to move it more or less floats making circular motions. Sorta bouncing up and down. Stays once we notice it for about 45 minutes to a couple hours then it vanishes. Has been out there so far 2 nights in a row.

Brookfield, IL
It was towards Midway airport. This was not a plane. I've worked at O'hare airport for over 10 years, so I'm familiar with airplanes. I took a picture with my cellphone. It was far away. However, I knew if I could get it, I could crop the picture. Then, I could see it better. And, I got it.
