Sewell, NJ
At roughly 8:46 PM, I was sitting on my bed watching YouTube with my phone. There are two windows in my bedroom, one of which is directly adjacent to my bed. I looked out of that window, and there was a distinct object in the sky that looked silver. I would think of as simply a star, but at that moment the sky was a clear pale blue and there were no other stars in the sky. The sky was completely clear excepting this object. I'm near sighted, so I couldn't see it properly. It was flying (I reckon) as fast as a plane would, and assumed that was it, but either way, I got my phone and took four photos. The first, third and fourth photos were blurred and distorted, but the third one was clear. It is linked below. https://i.ibb.co/2M0typ3/20190711-204602.jpg The object is shaped like a silver earbud and is distinctly visible from the photo. For the record, I do not know how to photoshop outside of MS Paint, and have much better things to do with my time than to try and trick people regarding something, aliens, that I don't think exist. I send this because it's been sitting in the photo section of my phone for the last 3 months and it's creeping me out. I don't believe in aliens but any other conclusions are simply illogical. I send this in the hopes that you at the UFOCenter, who deal with false reports consistently, can give me a logical conclusion so my mind can focus on other things. To rephrase, I did NOT doctor this photo. The only thing I have done to it is convert it to a URL from my phone. Thank you.

As I was driving the backroads from my sister’s house in Denton, Texas, I saw an enormous pewter colored plane. It was about 6pm. It was flying right above the ground, and right in the middle, it had a round glass that hung down and was flashing. It made no sound at all. I was so taken aback. I didn't even stop to take a picture. I have looked and researched shiny silver planes that fly low to the ground taking pictures, but can’t find anything matching my description. I will never forget what it looked like and what it was doing.

I can only logically interpret what I witnessed it as a possible high altitude balloon, as the form would slightly change. The top appeared to be solid and would at times glow (possible light reflection from the sun). The middle section appeared amorphous, The bottom/lower segment also appeared to be solid and reflective or illuminated. However, I could not positively identify the aerial phenomenon. High-quality photo submitted by witness, which shows a silver-colored tube, apparently hovering motionless in the sky. PD

Quincy, MA
Distant black object in sky with a difficult to describe shape and a distorted surrounding (similar to looking at insect wings flapping very fast), when observed with binoculars (celestron 15x70), or just a tiny black dot with naked eyes. Appeared very small even with binoculars. Slowly moved from north to east until no longer visible. Viewed from a suburban neighborhood, clear skies.

Checking my security cameras the next morning, I noticed a small linear shape hovering close to my daughter's room. The image looked like it has 5 lights. I spent a number of hours looking at mini-drone/personal drone models, but could find none even remotely similar to the flying micro object. We live in rural Florida and the minute long video I am emailing shows no one in the area is even awake or out and about. This is not a typical "flying saucer" in the sky moving quickly, etc., but it is an anomaly. I am inquiring to see if there are other such occurrences. Thank you. (( We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be exceptionally eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is exceptionally reliable. We expect to post to our homepage the video that was submitted together with this report. We have seen other similar footage. If anyone visiting our website knows what the cause of the peculiar video is, please contact our Center to share the explanation with us. PD))

Bainbridge Island, WA
Date: July 5, 2019 2:07pm It was lowest tide of the year so my parents Dad 83 and Mom 83 took my sister 54 and her husband 52 and their son 18, two daughters 21 and 19 with my two youngest 7 and 6 down to the beach to comb for sealife you normally don’t get to see because it’s usually underwater. I had driven separately and arrived to the beach late around 2:00 after the family had been down there for a while and were venturing slowly up the rocky beach towards me as i came down the path to the beach. I walked quickly towards my parents who were sitting together on a bench above the beach on a grassy ledge overlooking the water and my Mom asked if I had seen /heard what they had just seen /heard up in the sky. They had and they both described a strange shaped flash of light that just disappeared and made a strange rolling sound ?!? At that moment my sisters son; from the beach below, pointed in the same direction as my parents and shouted”Oh look, a saucer”. I quickly reached for my phone and realized it was not in my back pocket where it usually was. I had left it up in the truck so I ran as fast as I could back up to the path to the parking lot open the door and grabbed my cell phone and ran back down the path all of which took me probably about one minute. I took out my phone and instead of taking low resolution video I decided to take as high-resolution photographs as I possibly could and started clicking clicking clicking in the direction of which I had seen the pop of light. Aiming at the clouds I had seen the objects near previously. I’m taking these photographs and I’m looking around and I noticed the rest of my family all looking out there as well - seemingly entranced by what they were looking at. Very strange shape; it’s a small silver disc with a little white oval or cigar shaped spark that follows near it darting all around. It seems to shutter or skip across the sky, you get a glimpse of it in one place and then a slight glimpse of it again and then suddenly it’s in the whole new place far far down the length of the sky. All in the blink of an eye. As we all collectively watch the disc suddenly seems to slow and the white cigar or tic-tac shaped spark seems to stop and fire a white thread like white beam that opens a white square and with it another silver disc seems to pop in or out of the square and then shoot off as the white tic-tac shaped light disappears quickly after them in the same direction.

Had contacted you in April last year, 2018, regarding a strange spider like craft, or more like a surveillance entity with an opaque oval nucleus, and 8-12 wavy wire- like legs, darker than nucleus, with each having a black 1-2 cm disk on the ends. This thing scampered across ceiling and disappeared into the wall where ceiling and wall converge. I gave a time for the 7/5/19 incident, but was not by my phone or a clock. I’d guess it was around 1-3 am since it was totally dark outside. No lights or tv was on inside. I was on a sofa on my back asleep and suddenly awoke to the same kinds of lines or “legs” fanning out bout 2’ from the end of sofa... so less than 3 ‘ from my feet. There were no black disks on the ends, same guess on number ..8-12 lines....curvy or wavy.. about 10” in length... all same length. Before I could sit up, the entity faded away in the same place....didn’t travel like in Cle Elum. (I have since sold the Cle Elum home, but nothing related to the 4/4 incident) Since it dissipated, I couldn’t see if it branched out of a nucleus where I would assume the legs more or less converged together (??) since they fanned outwards and slightly waving motion... No sound or illumination. I checked “emitted beams” because those legs could have been (??) Just for info., I was pet sitting (no reaction from dogs in adjacent room) and I have since stayed a few more nights in the same home, but with no oddities that I’m aware of. Also, just to know, I was not under any influence of any drugs or alcohol, which I do not consume on any habitual basis. I saw what I saw again, and it somehow awoke me. I get that it was harmless, taking readings ...and this probably goes on with thousands of others, wether they realize it or not.

My fiance and myself went to the westport marina to watch the fireworks at approximately 10 pm on july 4th 2019 when we noticed a ball on fire floating across the sky, but spinning it would burn out after a few minutes but stay solid black flying like it had a purpose towards the ocean towards ocean shores then after it was almost out of view we noticed two more following the first one doing exactly the same thing making absolutely no noise. It wasn't fireworks I'm sure. An older army vet next to us witnessed this too he said he never saw anything like that in his life he said it didn't look military or like a drone.

At 9:44EST I saw it fly from NNW to SE approximately 1.5 minutes fly over time. I see TONS and TONS of airplanes fly over my home. It was not an airplane. There were no flashing lights. It was moving fast but not fast like a meteor. It had that consistent shine of a satellite passing by. At first, I thought it was the ISS but when I searched for sighting info of ISS for my area the times did not match up. I just want to know what it was. Thanks!

Bena, MN
I was driving west on US Hwy 2 between the City of Ball Club and Bena MN. I was approaching a black vehicle and as I got closer it increased it's speed keeping pace with me. I was within 100 yards of the vehicle. It went into the oncoming lane of traffic and accelerated causing the rear of the vehicle to drop slightly. At that instant a VERY large cloud of white smoke filled the highway. I slowed my vehicle and turned toward the shoulder on the North side of the highway. As I went thru the cloud I expected to see the vehicle stopped or black marks on the road. Once I was in the Cloud I could see out, but it was still thick. I watched the ditch on the South side of the highway as well, but saw no evidence of the vehicle leaving the roadway. I expected to smell burnt rubber from the tires skidding or spinning on the highway, but there was no smell. As I came out of the Cloud I could see for a couple of miles as the highway was straight. There were vehicles ap! proaching from some distance to the front but no one going in my direction. I looked in my rear view mirror and there was another vehicle coming around the cloud on the north side also. I wanted to stop that vehicle to see what they saw and thought of the encounter, but I didn't feel comfortable with that of know how to get them to stop. All I can tell you about the vehicle is that it was a midsize black sedan. Nothing special at all about it. I couldn't rap my head around what I had just seen and for nearly an hour the hair on my arms stood straight on end. It was a very strange experience!! I didn't see it in the air or anything so maybe not connected to a UFO. The only other explanation I can conclude would be spiritual or a ghost if you will. No matter what I am still very freaked out and bothered by what I witnessed.

((unspecified by witness)), VA
Object like a dim light appeared and went out and appeared again and flashed bright blue, was traveling SE and vanished. We suspect a nighttime sighting, and have changed the time to reflect that fact. We have attempted to contact the witness to confirm the time, but have been unsuccessful, up to the time of this writing. PD

Lone Pine, CA
Myself, my wife and 3 teenage sons were on our way home from Lake Tahoe, traveling south on highway 395 at approximately Noon on July 1st. I was driving while my wife was watching a movie on her phone. My 3 boys were either sleeping or on their phones at the time. There was very little traffic on the highway and I had a habit of looking over to my left at the mountains, as I am a landscape artist and love to paint the area. As I glanced towards the mountains something caught my eye. The best way I can describe it is this way. I saw what looked like a “glitch” In The scenery. As I looked closer I could make out a shape but could not see any details. Because I saw the slight “glitch” I could see now that I was looking at what I can only describe as some sort of object that was shaped almost like a bird but the odd thing about it was that it was camouflaged with the mountain in the background, almost as if it were clear. I would look at the road, then look back to see it still there. I got the feeling that I wasn’t supposed to be seeing it but because I saw what looked like a “glitch” on the front of it almost like the camouflage disappeared for a split second I could make it out every time I looked back at it. I am guessing that it was approximately 1-2 mile away from me between the highway and the mountain range. After just a couple minutes of watching the road and looking back at it (keep in mind that I was traveling about 80mph and it was pacing me), it turned quickly and I watched it gain altitude and disappear into the sky after turning 180 degrees. It was gone in almost a blink of an eye. Now the strange thing about it is that I got the feeling it knew I was watching it yet I wasn’t supposed to be seeing it. Sounds odd I know but that’s how I felt. Anyway, I didn’t tell my wife about it until tonight and I was researching sightings in the area and that’s what brought me here. Thanks for reading.

Noble, OK
While looking at the stars on our pond last night. Saw transparent object in the shape of a stingray. Could see the stars through it. Moved like a stingray swimming. Completely organic looking. About 2000 feet above. Have read about other sightings.

Looked like heat lightning. Stayed in sky like a light house. But didn't repeat as a light house. And no noise sky is clear. Crazy weird.

Have video showing object moving across the sky. It made no noise but you can see the cloaked object moving methodically across the sky.

Hamptons, NY
I was driving from the Hamptons with my son and I was admiring the clouds and I noticed a weird shiny box in the sky and a small plane next to it. I pointed it out to my son and he thought it was one of the signs they use to advertise on the beach. But the only problem it was not moving. I could not get a photo of it because we were driving on the sunrise hwy., but to this day, I am sure it was a UFO.

My wife and I are avid sky watchers, and as such, we are aware of the airports in the surrounding areas. We are also familiar with satellites, and the varies commercial and military aircraft, (and how the ambient light can make them appear wingless, even distorted). These lights are something else. The easiest way to describe then is to picture a satellite in the night sky, then make it as bright or brighter than the brightest star, traveling at commercial airplane altitudes. Last night, (6/17/2019) we spotted what we thought was a commercial airliner heading NE, (towards Bishop International) flying so low through the late evening sky that you could almost make out its shape. It had three incredibly bright white lights, fairly close together, but far enough apart to have a triangle shape. As it passed us we clearly saw the back of the craft, where two small orange lights, (one on top of the other) were on its right, and a larger red light on its left. The lights were not positioned like we are accustomed to seeing on commercial craft, and the flashing pattern was very different as well - the bottom orange light would flash, followed immediately by the large red light, then the top orange light would do a fast double flash, pause for a second, then repeat.

Good afternoon, June 16th, my mother called me quickly to come see something strange in the sky. She quoted seeing antennas on some craft. I went outside to see this amazing object traveling at an angle. Like it wasn't vertical, or horizontal, it was quite strange. It was long in width (by the way it was traveling). I believe I also saw some form of sphere in the middle. I really hope they can share my photo on the web. As it passed above us, below the clouds, nice sunny day. I took out my phone and happen to take a one second video! I have an image of what we saw. I'm excited and share the photo with my close relatives to tell me, what I saw. The object traveled quickly, and made no sound. At one point I thought maybe that's an eagle. I'm not far from the river. But it did disappear. If I didn't have this picture, I'd be wondering my entire life.
