Perris, CA
Driving west on Ethinac Road there was a large red glowing disk directly North over the hills just outside of the city of Perris. The sighting occurred fairly quickly, 1 adult and 3 kids witnessed this object hover over the Perris Hills, make a quick "L" shaped movement and then vanished.

Westcliff, CO
Three of us were sitting around a campfire in the San Juan Cristo mountains when my friend's wife asked where the city of Westcliffe was he pointed to the direction and she replied I seen some lights something caught my eye I looked towards it and turned on my headlamp there was a UFO approximately 50-60 ft away in the scrub oak. It was about 35 ft long 15 to 20 ft tall hovering over the ground it had lights around the center probably 15 or more we stared at it for 15 to 20 seconds I turned to my friend to ask if he's seen what I seen I turned back to look at the at UFO and it was gone there was no sound coming or going the next day I looked to see if there was any sign there was not throughout the rest of the hunting season mini cars and trucks new and old had bought battery problems. A 1/4 mile as a crow flies my buddies and hunting camp had a very large creature visitor Camp around 2 a.m. it through rocks the size of basketballs onto the roof of the trail! er on the other trailer which is approximately 25 ft long on Jack's was shoved so hard that a teenager boy lying in the top bunk bed was tossed out of bed. The next day my friend's mom who works as a dispatcher for the sheriff's department called him she did not call her she asked if there was anything suspicious happening that night. Everything I have said is the truth!

Hingham, MA
I was driving North on Rte. 3 in Hingham, MA, at 18:45 on Thursday, September 15, 2016, when I spotted a bright glowing light in the Northwest sky. I was not surprised and assumed this to be a plane as this is a normal air traffic route for incoming planes into Logan Airport in Boston. Where the sun was setting, I assumed it was just the reflection of the setting sun on an incoming airplane or a traffic helicopter. The object, however, then became clear and was disc like, and just appeared to hover over the highway while commercial airliners clearly were traveling around it in set patterns. The object was metallic in nature and appeared to glow and pulse in a bright white light. It hovered and move slowly from west to east in a very straight but smooth line, very different from a commercial jet. It also had no marker lights where all of the commercial jets around it blinked with red, green and white lights. It moved almost like a drone, smooth and deliberate, yet was much larger, solid metallic and disc shaped with a very distinct bright glow. The object moved East until it was over the ocean and then it just disappeared. In comparison to the full moon that was rising, it was about a quarter of the size. It appeared as though other cars may have noticed as traffic slowed and there were brake lights. Unfortunately, as I was driving, I was unable to get a photo. The whole ordeal lasted about 5-10 minutes.

Prince William, VA
So, I am in college for meteorology. On this day, a classmate and I were studying cloud formation. While filming we both clearly saw (with the naked eye) a donut-shaped, metallic disk traveling at a high rate of speed which seemed to appear, then disappear. We caught this event on video. It was heading south. My father is a pilot and was a fighter pilot for more than 20years, and I am an amateur pilot myself. Growing up on naval bases all my life, I have developed a keen eye when observing the sky. Never before have I seen anything like this. I am familiar with and do well with spotting iridium flares, but this was no flare. It appeared to be metallic with a concave center. We didn't hear any sound coming from it. I am a skeptic, so over the past couple of months I've been trying to debunk this. It's come time for me to go public with it, as it is driving me crazy, trying to figure out what this is. Thanks for your time.

White light dropped down from the north the white light accelerated into a streak of light covering a few miles a second until it went to the tree line and went into a 180 in a second and continued to hover the tree line towards us. A black disk 40 feet wide by 60 feet long with a tail, with three sets of bright white lights. Front lights would light then switch to two sets of lights. This was flying towards us just above tree top level. It flew over from us 100 feet away behind trees even with us. The object didn't make any noise. Added more detail from the original report.

Ventnor, NJ
Was driving home from work on Wellington Ave at 1 am, when I saw about 7 or 8 small, distinct lights that seemed to form the edge of a flying disk. The boundary of the disk was faintly visible in the moonlight. The disk hovered in the sky for about 25 seconds, not moving at all. Then, it quickly began to descend vertically down, straight down, in a smooth gliding manner. In about 3-5 seconds it descended beyond my line of sight, behind some houses. I tried driving around the neighborhood to see if I could get a better view, but I could not see anything. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Peter, I am almost certain of the date, as it was the day before I left home for college on September 10. So technically it was on September 10 at 1:00 am, but the night of the 9th, if that makes sense. I didn't contact any residents because it seemed to descend over where the bay is, so very few people may have seen it since few houses overlook the bay. I didn't contact the press because, without a photograph, I would just appear to be crazy. I considered taking a photo but my phone camera has poor quality, especially in the nighttime, so the photo would just be an indiscernible blur since I was in a moving car. Let me know if you have any other questions! ((END ADDENDUM))

Auburn, WA
I would like to begin that I am a former member of the us navy and have a very good eye for aircraft. Being in the seattle area I am able to identify every aircraft day or night by its light patterns. tonight I was in my work parking lot near the auburn park and ride. My attention was first brought to a craft which lights were similar to but not consistent with any craft I have seen hovering over the sky about in the airspace of fife, WA. After just a few moments of watching the solid red, blue, and white lights I noticed there were too many white lights and suddenly the red and white lights were eminating its source outward toward the sky around it. They were red and white lights almost pulsating and changing direction much like a a police car pulling over a car. Now I first tried to see whether it was in fact airborne as I live in the valley. I was hoping that perhaps it was high on a hill, however it was not. After about 5 mins of watching these pulsating lights (which as a result looked as though the craft was elongated or disk shaped) its colors changed to solid white and blinking red like an FAA approved aircraft. It began to move north west in the directing of the olympic pennisula rather that the sea tac airport as I would expect such an aircraft to do. Ill be honest in all of my days observing aircraft day, night, shipboard, on land, and at sea I was frightened and concerned for the aircraft I could see preparing to land at sea tac. It maintained the same altitude while it moved from its hovering position with a slight decent maybe 1 or two degrees which is consistent with a craft going further from view. It was dark, but I have never seen an aircraft emminate that many lights so irradically. I hope that you people can maybe try and find a logical explination for this. Yes I know it was dark, yes there is airtraffic for both lewis/mcchord and seatac however this wasnt any aircraft light pattern I have ever seen. I sho! uld have recorded it however the truth is the resolution would! nt have been ideal at the distance i was from the object. I wish I would have, but i was focused on gathering all information i could to reject the fact it was a ufo.

Harrison, NY
I was driving on 684 South and immediately upon passing White Plains Airport, after realizing it was a beautiful clear night, I decided to look up into the sky. After seeing 2 sets of planes that were very close to each other and not making anything of it I saw another object just a little bit above and to the right of the right two planes that were in my field of view. Staring at this object for the first 10 seconds I didn't think much of it other than that it looked like a plane on it's side. It was the exact shape of a cross and at the ends of the vertical line which was longer than the horizontal line intersecting right above the middle point, there were two abnormally bright red lights at each end. On the horizontal line there were smaller white lights on each end. This very clearly formed a cross shape to any observer who had the same point of view. My first guess was that it was someone flying a private plane on it's side and was therefore waitin! g for it to eventually turn into the traditional horizontal form that a plane displays. I decided to speed up on the road since this object was just sitting in the sky and looked a little bit bigger than the average size of a visible plane. Upon making a left turn towards Purchase the object started to move and dropped down rather quickly diagonally to the left and very clearly was heading in the same direction that I was about to. After making my left turn I sped up and tried to keep up with this light, never once losing sight of it, still having the cross shape and red and white lights. I realized now that this was definitely very odd and bigger than I would have guessed. Still, never in my life would I have guessed that I was about to see what I did in about 1- 2 minutes. As the object started to be buried by the upper foliage of the trees on the right of my road I watched it's light pattern glowing and dipping down suddenly to the right. At this point I said scre! w it, I'm not going to Purchase, this is weird, I'm going to s! ee what the hell this is if I can. I sped up as fast as I reasonably could and made the first right that came about on this road. Finding a right turn I immediately jumped into it and started to slow down so that I could keep track of this glowing light that was still piercing and poking through the foliage of the forest like area of Harrison. At this point I was driving about 5-10 miles per hour so I could gage where the object was going since I was so worried I was going to overshoot it and miss it forever. About 10-15 seconds onto this road a car pulled in and I started to have to drive faster since it was tailgating me. Driving fast and starting to shake a little bit, all the while constantly ducking under the windshield of my car and looking out the left side I kept track of this mysterious light. Finally after about 15-20 seconds the car behind me made a left turn and I was able to slow back down. Almost immediately within seconds, on my left the glowing light was seen ! to pierce through the trees and foliage and to my amazement I had a realization that I was going to see whatever this thing was. Instantly the light got bigger and very red, white and a little bit of yellow, and all of a sudden, so big and boom....right over the trees on my left side...for a solid 2 seconds I saw a massive perfect circular disk with 8-10 massive crystal clear, blue, green, and red circular lights encased within the the circumference of the underside which now covered up about 75 percent of my field of view. Shaking beyond belief, with my jaw dropped, I had not a single thought other than that I saw a perfect flying saucer fly right over my head as clear as day. The lights were absolutely huge and the hood of my car and nearby area of the road and trees were lit up in glowing rainbow like colors. As it passed over me and over the trees on my right I drove faster while simultaneously looking backwards and watched it clear the trees and spin out behind it ! and to the right in a circular motion. I sped up in my car, r! ealizing this could have been the dumbest thing I've ever done and made the first left turn I found. While turning around in the cul de sac I immediately grabbed my phone and called my friend and told them to go outside and see if they could see anything, as I was freaking out more than I could ever have imagined in my life. Darting back up the road I watched the light pass through the foliage on my left side and start to disappear. Upon getting back to the main road where I initially made the off course decision to chase this thing down, I lost all sight of it for good. I never once expected to ever see that, and had I known that I would have seen a saucer over my head with perfectly clear colored circular lights in a circle underneath it, I never would have tried to follow it. I would also like to note that this object made absolutely no sound. This is singlehandedly the strangest thing that has ever happened to me and I hope it never happens again. Haven't been able to sl! eep the past 4 nights. Hope to hear that someone else caught sight of this so that I may have any validity here. If only I had another witness. Truly horrifying.

Royal Oak, MI
9/3/16 1am. 11 mile and main area in Royal Oak MI. Craft coming at me (north) with white lights but stopped and went east and hoovered. Looked like a fat disc shape. 3 lights. One light was red. I think other 2 were green and white. Than went backwards (south) and hoovered. Than really fast to the right (west) and hoovered and than to the east again and hoovered and than to the west again really fast and I could hear a really shrill noise when it went fast to the west. It did a few of these left and right and back and forth moves and hoovered each time. I got my camera. Took pic off the porch but I had my finger on the flash which is a poor feature of this camera but maybe that's a good thing. Went to take second pic and it went behind trees and disappeared but I watched it for over 5 minutes. The picture just looks like a blur of gas since it was in motion. I would say it was the size of a jet and at jet altitude.

Yesterday, Friday, Sept. 02, a ring appeared around the sun over Falls Church, VA. My daughter and I stopped the car to take a few pictures. Today, while deleting some of the photos, I noticed something strange. In each of three photos there is a blue dot. This dot moved rapidly in each of the photos. The photos were taken just seconds apart. And suggestions what this might be? I have some good photos and will attempt to to post them.

Pulled over and saw 3 lights with 1 pulsing light between the 2nd and 3rd light from the left. I would estimate it was 200 feet away and maybe 100 feet in the air. There was no noise and it didnt move the whole time. The lights were a difuse yellow.

Ladson, SC
So, I’m a student. I got out of class sometime after 9:30 and I hit the interstate. I got on Ashley Phosphate, took 1-26 West to get off on exit 205 A. As I’m going down the road, I see this bright light. It was just a small circular light- I assumed it was a airplane. It approached, like one. I like planes so I was watching it, waiting for it to pass over me, but instead it stayed in the distance. I found it odd, about 2 minutes passed and I watched it slowly make its way over to the left side of the interstate and it descended into the trees. I was so confused, because the only airport I know of is the one alll the way back after exit 212. So. Right as this “plane” descends, I see another one. This one has two lights on each end. Different colors. I automatically assume that it’s a helicopter. It slowly makes it’s way over the interstate and then it pauses too.. I put on my glasses and watch it slowly descend into the trees. About a mile away from the! first one. I was so confused, if these were helicopters, why were they landing in that area? I’m not too familiar with the area but I knew there was no landing spots there. So just as I see it disappear within the trees.. I see another as I’m passing by the signs saying 205 B is coming up. This one, it wasn’t really moving. I stared at it all the way to my exit. It was close to ground. I couldn’t make out the object at first but once I came up to the exit, it was directly above me man. It had very dim lights on it. Now at this point “ufo” was going through my mind, the craft looked so odd. I was eyeballing this thing hard as I drove around the loop and came up on University Blvd? I rolled down my window just to listen, to see if it made any sound. It was so quiet. I watched this thing HOVER from my right side over to my left side. As I was coming down the hill, a car pulls full of boys are passing me, and I watched the guy i the passenger and he screams “DUUUUUDE” and they take off. That made me feel better, I knew I wasn’t just seeing things. It’s pretty high up in the air, but it was so close.. I’m not good at describing distance so I can’t tell you but as I was driving down that hill to get to Ladson, I was in sync with the object. It was getting lower and lower to the ground. I get to the light, turn left on Ladson, and I’m going as slow as I can, just keeping up with it. I’m going about 15mph on a 45? And I follow it to Ladson Elementary School. It was right there.. It wasn’t in the street, it was hovering over the parking lot of the school? It had these strange dim lights that looked so out of place, and the object moved so slow in mid air. I could see it’s shape now, as it slowly shifted from horizontal to vertical. It was a saucer. Just as it did that, it spit something, it was like a tiny pill shaped object that had a white glow to it, it was big enough for me to see. Right after that I hauled ass. I got so emotional and so scared. As I’m getting to my friends house, I see military planes in the sky, going towards the direction from which I came. I arrive to her house and I bolt to her door, I think I see a drone or two flying over her neighborhood, I’m so freaked out. I knock on her door then just barge in, I was too scared to stay outside. I went ballistic and was telling them what happened, they look outside and see the drones. We stayed there for about 20 minutes before leaving again. As we’re getting in the car, a light in the sky is coming our way, it looked like the first flying object I saw, but it revealed itself to be a plane. But this plane was scoping. It was cruising through the sky. And when we left her neighborhood and went back up Ladson, I watched these huge trucks pull into the back of the school, and then the cruiser plane flew across the street. We get to the gym. Work out. Leave. Go back to Ladson. It’s about 12:40 when we get to the light to turn onto Ladson. That plane was still in the sky scoping and those trucks were just leaving the area. I go home. I couldn’t sleep. Needed the lights on to sleep. Haha. There were people on the road, and many people on the interstate that could've saw too.. It really sucks you know. I wish I didn’t see that. I mean. That was cool. Really cool. But. Overwhelming. I just want to know the truth but I guess it’s better to just mind my business.

On vacation, checking sky after seeing what appeared as two campfires at 12 midnight. At 3 AM, the fires were no longer seen but I saw one bluish green object going up and down in the sky. It moved about and then paused over the lake. From my bed, I watched the object. It never changed shape or color. It appeared to jump from one position to another very quickly,
