Pe Ell, WA
Sitting in my backyard facing East when I saw an object come out of a cloud from the N.E.. It caught my attention because it was unusual. I yelled at my son (who is in his early 30's) who was mowing the lawn. He came and observed it with me as it went out of site to the South. It was oval, whitish gold traveling very fast. If you held a pea at arm's length, that is how big it was I could not tell distance or height. I was reluctant to report this because of how people get ridiculed.

Pelzer, SC
This was an event during 5th grade Field Days at an elementary school. If you look up at the top center you will see an object that wasn't seen live, but was visible after the pictures were uploaded. It seems as if the craft is operating in the IR range of the electromagnetic spectrum. It was also taken in the exact same place as that one from 2012 was taken (next report).

Fort Collins, CO
A freak lightning storm with no thunder just high wind appeared out of thin air. I thought it was strange so I began to take photo's and video. I caught somthing coming out of a flash of lightning, too fast for a plane. Then, when I got home, I found an orb in a photo I took. No sun glare, the orb was passing in between two clouds.

Houston, TX
On Monday, May 17, 2016, around 4:30am in Houston, Texas, I was headed home, traveling westbound on Airport Blvd. between Cullen Blvd and Scott St. It was raining lightly at the time. To my left there was a narrow strip of tree lined pasture where cattle graze. Rising above the trees was a oval shaped green orb that was about 10-15 ft. wide. At the bottom of the orb was a small red light. The orb was moving back and forth over the trees. Since I was the only one traveling on that stretch of the road, I dropped my speed to about 5mph. I also rolled down my driver side window to get a better look. I noted that there was no sound and no blinking lights coming from the orb, which made me realize that it was not a helicopter and definitely not an airplane. I traveled down to the road to a break in the median and made a u-turn heading back towards the ufo. That’s when it started flying off to the east, increased in speed and disappeared.

Portland, OR
Late on Sunday night, I was laying in my room, when I heard an extremely loud high pitched noise and a buzzing noise. I walked up to the window and opened the curtains. My previously pitch black room was filled with with white light, and it flashed multiple colors before stopping. I could see a huge black oval shaped object.

Socorro, NM
During early May 2016, my family took a road trip involving visits to CA, AZ, NV and NM. Of course, we wanted to visit Roswell and Socorro, NM, and we did. Prior to our departure, I watched my documentaries and videos regarding the Lonnie Zamora UFO incident on April 24, 1964. I was really fascinated with this case because Lonnie Zamora was a sworn police officer at the time of the incident which I believe makes his testimony and credibility noteworthy. A recent documentary video in particular caught my attention. 2 researchers who were working with Ray Sanford (I believe he arrived on scene April 29, 1964, and was able to perform an investigation with the assistance of Dr. James Allen Hynek) gave a presentation regarding up to date information obtained through continued research into this incident. In particular, was a claim that approximately 1 year after the incident, both Ray Stanford and Dr. Hynek returned to the landing site. I believe I have seen a few pictures online confirming the same. It is alleged that Ray Stanford took random snap shots of the area and many, many, years later discovered objects flying in the air off in the distance. It is my understanding Ray Stanford, at a later time when appropriate, may share those pictures with the public. While visiting the landing site which has been marked with rocks and a mural memorial to Lonnie Zamora, I decided to take some radiation readings and random photographs of the area. Nothing jumped out during the radiation testing but upon later examination we did discover an object in our photos that was not seen with the naked eye. To confirm there was something in the air, I did use MUFON's free to the public image analysis tools. While I am no expert, it does appear to verify we caught something in our photos. The object appears to be metallic, grey colored and oval/round. In addition, prior to driving to Socorro we visited a Native American petroglyph site approximately 1 hour north. We took many pictures of the drawings on the rocks. After we discovered the object in our Socorro photos, we decided to more closely examine our petroglyph photos too. It was then we discovered in 1 of the photos an object high in the sky that was not visible with the naked eye. This object appears more oval/elliptical. We are not saying what we caught on our photographs is extraterrestrial in nature. It could very well be a plane, bird, some sort of flying debris, etc. However, it is worth noting that at no time did we hear any noise or observe any jet contrails in the sky. These photos and videos were all taken with a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 mobile phone. So we were surprised that we captured something with the limited capabilities of a mobile phone vs. a real camera or camcorder. I hope one day Lonnie Zamora's name is fully cleared and any doubt about his testimony will be put to rest. RIP Lonnie! If NUFORC would like copies of my digital photos and videos, I'd be more than happy to share them.

Orlando, FL
My mom and I were driving in East Orlando. We both saw a bright orange oval fireball in the Eastern sky. It was at 1:38 am on 5/6/16. It was too low to be a star. It looked like it was the size of a street lamp. It only lasted 2 to 3 minutes. When I could finally park to take a video, it was gone. It looked like a big orange star. However, it was too low and much larger.

Apopka, FL
It was glowing bright red and traveling from east to west. I ran inside to gather to witnesses my mom and brother. When we three came out, it was no longer glowing bright red, but more like a far off red star, and this time it was traveling in the opposite direction--back east.

Palm Bay, FL
Bright orange fireball. Oval shape. Appeared to be traveling SW. Traveled slowly through the sky. It looked quite large compared to any aircraft or bright stars. There wasn't a long tail on it. There was no visible trail on the dark sky. At one point it turned to the east and got smaller, as it traveled away. Too many trees blocked my vision to the east.

Kingston (Canada), NB · Canada
I was driving home, I was on my street actually, 30 second way from my house 5-6 huge redish orange lights above the trees I pulled over to watch it. It was present for more then a minute I tried finding my phone to take a picture but I couldn't find it. So I just sat and watched until each light faded away one by one and then it was gone. Everyone I mentioned it to thought I was nuts.

Jacksonville, FL
Almost every night, a large orange orb in the sky that is located above Craven road off Sunbeam Road in Jacksonville, Florida. A planet does not move at will nor do stars while this orb does. I looked at it one night and thought to myself, if this thing is satanic, evil, it has to do what I say, as that is what the bible says. So, I looked at and “thought clearly”, “Move away from me if you are evil. “Here’s the weird thing; It did just that. It has two orbs below it that blink constantly. One blinks dark blue and light blue and the other blinks red, white and green. The red white and green orb has actually moved on its own, much like a drone, but there are no drones that look like it. This orb has a saucer shape but you can only see an outline as if it is covered in camouflage paint, it blends with the night sky. Again, there are no drones that are like this. It is the size of a very large helicopter but completely quiet, not even a whistle sound like a drone would make. They seem very curious about the people in the apartment complexes on Sunbeam Road for some reason as well. I have observed a figure with only an outline walking by one of the buildings that looked too skinny and small to be a human. Shaped like a grey but, with a smaller head, barely visible. These orbs seem to enjoy being near the hill located by Sunbeam Road across from the veterinarian hospital but they have moved location, sometimes sitting above the post office in front of the trees. There is also an isosceles Triangle located above Sunbeam Road that changes locations quite often and has an odd rounded shape at the bottom. I get a very creepy feeling when I look at it, almost like someone is staring at me. I have made the attempt to create a drone to fly towards the red, white and green orb, I call it Italy, but, I am stuck trying to figure out a good power source to fly that far. I also do not want it to destroy or take my drone nor assume it to be a hostile attack. It has flown directly over a plane one night, very slowly, showing its size.

Chandler, AZ
I saw 3 sighting of the craft though I could not tell if they were the same craft or different ones. Each of them were orange ovals with a small dark antenae like darkness within the oval. I attempted to record the object on my cell phone on the second viewing of the object. That video appears to be lost. The third attempt I was able to upload it to youtube. https://youtu.be/ixpqxQCsYjQ The video is absent the details that were visible from human eyes adjusted to the dark. The "star" was very orange and vibrant compared to the sky. And the darkening on top of the object was noticable. The planet next to the UFO is also not visible though I have a picture that shows the comparison with it and the local street light.

Me and 2 other people were just relaxing at around 9 p.m on our patio and it was dark so we were just sitting looking at the sky then i see a red blonking light and just stood still then zoomed left and and right then went still again and then just zoomed away behind the trees. It wasn't a plane, planes dont stop in mid air and start going left to right and also planes make noises this "thing" made no niose. Lastley it seems many people have been sighting almost the same thing i have. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Independence, MO
I, as well as many of my neighbors, have seen triangle shaped planes for many years. Whiteman AFB is just South East from where we live so we know that these triangle shaped craft are F-117 fighters or NGB-2 bombers. I could not sleep on the night of 5/1/2016 so went out to have a smoke, around 1 AM. I saw what I though was going to be a NGB-2 bomber approaching from the northwest, heading southwest to Whiteman AFB. As it got closer, I could tell it was gliding at tree top level, which is unusally low. It was approximately three times as large as the normal NGB-2. No noise, 2 red lights at each end of the its wings. So either Whitman has a new version of the NGB-2 or something is checking them out. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded serious-minded to us. He corrected the time to 1:00 a.m., not p.m.. PD

As a prior service member and a veteran I tend to embrace a more logical explanation on things, what will follow in this report has baffled and puzzled me in its complexity of engineering. I stepped out for a cigarette outside I have a view that allows me to see a bit of range over the tree line and most buildings in view. And in the quickest most unexplainable fashion and very bright oval in shape object (with a very bright HID light shine) soundlessly came into view as it zipped right in front of me then as quickly as it came into view this object changed complete trajectory and course and just went out of view. What messed me up was the fact that I'm trying to make logical sense of this, "thing/object/craft" whatever name anyone wants to put on this was definitely not something i know to exist nor do i know of anything that can move so fast and so bright and so soundless it was eerie and illogical. I'm perplexed and oddly uneasy.

Mukilteo, WA
I was having dinner with my parents at their home. In the middle of the dinner, as I was talking with my mother, she interrupted me and asked out loud, "What is that in the sky?!" I turned to my left and saw her looking out the sliding glass door window and into the cloudless, eastern blue sky. I asked her what it was she was seeing. She said, "There, up in the sky. That thing is shiny and floating slowly away! Is it a balloon?" I got up from the dinner table and walked over to the window and looked out. In the distance, across and up in the sky–I would say about a few hundred feet in the air, I saw a slow moving object with an oblong oval shape. It appeared to be more wider vertically than the top and bottom which was more shorter in height than its width. The bright western sunlight reflected off the object, which appeared to be like a bright and shiny metallic surface. The size of the object appeared a little smaller than the body length of a Cessna plane. My mother asked if it was a drone or a helicopter. I told her, "No," as it did not make any sound. My dad then came over to the window and he saw it. He was giving the same description that I saw on how it looked. The strange thing is, this craft was coming from the direction of the runway at nearby Paine Field airport where planes take off and land, but we knew that it could not have just taken off from the runway because it was moving too slow, and was too high since it was so close to the runway. My dad and I then noticed the craft seemed to climb a few feet higher with its back end in the air and its front lowered at an angle. We watched the craft drift along to the south for about five minutes. Then before we knew it, the craft, which was still visible and not too far off, quickly started fading and disappeared against the blue sky just moments before a large airliner appeared from the south as it was getting ready to land at the Paine Field runway. We are not sure what this craft was as the entire duration of it went from the north eastern sky to the south. The amazing thing is, is how it disappeared entirely so quickly since it traveled so slow. We would like to remain anonymous at this time, but will report any possible future sightings.

As my custom, I took my dog out the front door into my lawn for one last break before retiring to bed. Customarily I use this time to look over-head to check the night sky. Peering into a beautiful, clear, cool night sky, I spotted a glowing oval shaped craft which appeared to be tri-colored and emitting a phosphorescent glow as it glided silently over-head. The object appeared to be two inches in length if held at an arm's length distance. If I had to venture a guess I would say the object was approximately 400-600 feet elevation at an angle of 60 degrees. The duration did not exceed 2 seconds in length, but will last a lifetime in my memory. I was stunned at the fluidity of it's flight and it's complete lack of sound. If I had a camera posed and ready to shoot, it would have been a miracle to capture this swift flying object.

New Braunfels, TX
My wife and I saw what we first thought was a plane over us, but then realized it was not have a flashing light and was now bright white, but red orange color, we first thought it was a flare, but it did not move like one. It moved from our left to our right pretty fast, no sound and disappeared. I took a video and when I tried to play back, it did not work. My wife and I were looking at it as I was recording, she was even telling me to zoom in. After it disappeared we looked at each other and tried playing it back, but nothing, like it never recorded. Early during the evening around 10ish we saw what seemed like a disco ball in the sky with flashing colors. It bounced around a little and then slowly moved out of site. Wow a night for us to remember.

Van Nuys, CA
At 15:32 on April 21 (today) I was looking straight up into the sky and saw a couple of recent chemtrails stretching across the sky, a common experience. Then 5 shiny blue-green objects appeared in the sky, in close formation. I thought at first they were balloons, moving in a NW direction. Though they were third-dimensional, they were not perfectly spherical. They were quite high up and I couldn’t see the detail. I thought they might be drones, but not skinny at all. Then it appeared that two of them emitted short white cloud-like “chemtrails,” one each. I watched these for a short time, floating in the wind. They started to spread out as chemtrails do. UFO’s disappear. I looked away for no more than a second and when I looked back, the formation of 5 had disappeared completely. They were nowhere in the sky. But the “chemtrails were still there, and started to change shape (as chemtrails never do -- they just spread out.) From the center of each a bulge formed. One of the bulges drifted down, still connected, so the effect was that of a right angle. The other bulge did not drift, but was more rounded than straight. These small cloud-like formations lasted for a while before I went inside. They were two high up to get a good picture.

Saw a plane looking like oval object flying straight upwards with a flashing light, went faster and faster by the second as it went upwards. Flashed about 3 times then disappeared as it went farther up. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
