Lewis Center, OH
very bright object possibly reflective off the sun for it was blue sky and sunny. object at first looked circular like a balloon but moved to where it went very flat over and over a few times. Commercial plane at that time was in its line of path however higher up then the object in question. this however is when we were very perplexed at what this object was for when this plane crossed it path though considerably higher from our stand point, this is when this object took off and went very high in the sky. Trajectory was abnormal. We also are unaware of how high a drone can go but after our research we are positive this object was 10x higher then the average commercial drone.

Sullivan, WI
Approximately 3 PM on April 16, 2016, looked into the sky and saw four oval objects in the sky moving from west to east in Eastern Jefferson county moving into Waukehsa county. The objects were white with a translucent outline. The four objects were not making any noise and seemed relatively low and not very large in size. The objects were consistently in a V shape and seemed to be moving in a circular motion. The objects were very close to each other, but no moving parts. I saw the objects against a clear blue sky for approximately 20 seconds but they moved over the tree line and I could no longer see them. I was one of two individuals who saw them at this time.

I noticed an oval shape black in color looked like a hot air balloon without the basket. It was hovering in the air far above any trees i drove a little closer in my car as I was approximately 2 miles from site then simply vanished with a blink of an eye.

Tampa, FL
After landing at Tampa International Airport, and while riding a shuttle bus to a car rental agency nearby, I observed what I first thought was a helicopter because of its slow speed and maneuvering, reflecting light from the sun. As I continued to observe I saw that the object was round, very bright, and with a 'shimmering' aura around it. It was about 1500 feet in the air and near the airport. It traveled in an 'up and down' pattern. While watching it the object just disappeared, only to reappear again in the same spot. It was a very bright white light, oval or round, with a 'heat wave' around it. It then disappeared again and did not return. I would estimate that the object was a mile away from my location.

Arlington, TX
I work between Arlington, Texas, and Euless, Texas @ Collins street or TX157. For the past month I've noticed an oval shape craft fly in the same direction (south) and slowly shoot up into the sky and disappear. I've have noticed that it usually appears flying somewhat erratically and bright. It's as bright a the planet Jupiter. I can actually see it go up into the upper atmosphere and disappear. It's cool.

New York City (Queens), NY
While traveling west in Queens on the LIE into Manhattan, I noticed an object hanging still in the sky south towards Brooklyn. It was shaped like a corpuscle on its side and appeared whitish in color. It did not move. It hung there in the sky for about 2-3 minutes. It was not a plane or a helicopter. I was on a bus moving quickly and could not take a photo.

Lafayette, LA
While looking through my 11 inch SCT Telescope, I saw a black object on the moon's north east quadrant. Based on the size of the Moon's straight wall, I would estimate the size to be 3 miles long. It looked like a small wooden splinter you would get when loading lumber. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Portsmouth, VA
Seen an oval moving slow traveling east after 2 minute it took off and disappeared. We telephoned the witness, to confirm whether the report is a serious one, and the witness assured us it was intended as a serious account of a real sighting. He reports that he was looking to the north, and that the object appeared to him to be approximately one half the apparent size of the Sun in the daytime sky. PD

San Ysidro (Baja??), CA
I observed two bright flashing lights approximately south/southwest at about 30-degrees about horizon. At first I assumed they were helicopters moving easterly. They gave the "impression" that they were quite distant, which would place them well into Mexico, south of Tijuana, at 15-20 thousand feet altitude (wild guess). The two lights were bright, orange/reddish with a flickering point source in the direction of travel. The lights were not a "point source," but appeared to have an approximately oval and flickering shape. The two lights moved in unison at perhaps 10-degrees separation. The "higher" one then moved in an apparent downward direction directly toward the lower one. In a span of about 10-seconds they appeared to merge and then separate, with the one moving down continuing the same trajectory. It continued to move down, but started flickering in intensity over a span of about 15 seconds, after which it completely faded from sight. A third light then appeared further to the west, also moving in an easterly direction. This would have placed it apparently well out to sea and south of the international border line. It appeared to be about 20-degrees above the horizon. After a minute or so it appeared to stop (hover?) and then moved south (down from my perspective) at what must have been great speed for its apparent distance, and then faded in intensity until lost from sight. The weather was clear, stars were visible, the moon was at its zenith overhead. There might have been some haze toward the west over the ocean, at less then 5-degrees about the horizon. Temperature was 60-degrees F, humidity 83%. Obtained a crude video using a cell phone camera. Observed during evening walk. My wife also observed the lights from home. She didn't think anything of them, assuming they were aircraft. She observed the apparent merging too, but assumed they were at different distances. Her viewing location was approximately 800-feet west of my location. The lights appeared in the same direction to her as they did to me.

Omak, WA
My grade school teacher posted on FB to ask if anyone else seen and heard anything weird because they thought they saw a UFO. My son and I saw jets flying around town and decided to head out of town where there is less light pollution, about 7mi north of Omak on Omak-Riverside Eastside Road, just shy of the Reservation boundary. We stopped the car and shut off the engine. We got out and looked around for the jets that we saw leave our view from Omak. We saw one jet coming out of the Northeast, then we saw a faint, blue light zooming out of the west on an intercept course. They seemed to see each other and both the jet and UFO headed southeast, but then the jet veered west, where the UFO then proceeded Northeast. The UFO could travel really fast compared to the jets. At times, it seemed like a faint, blue streak. We stuck around out there for a little bit, but no jets, or UFO's could be seen, or heard and we returned home. The bright moonlight made it hard to see the blue light moving across the night sky.

Denton, MD
Very clear skies,I was watching a military type jet flying high. It was heading southwest. I then see this round orb flying northeast, considerably lower than the jet. At approximately three times the speed of the jet. It was small, and the color reminded me of French vanilla ice cream. In seconds it was gone, no sound, no trails.

Pasco County, FL
On 3/5/16, at approximately 1745 hrs., a photo was taken by my brother in Pasco County, Florida, of the sunset. He then sent that photo to me that showed a blue-green sphere at the 8:00 position from the sun. The Sun was approximately 10 to 15 degrees above the horizon and setting over the Gulf of Mexico. On the same day a beach goer in Homosassa Springs, Fla., sent a photo to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page showing a similar sphere, with same color, at the same position provided above. We have photos’s of both that were taken with an iPad and iPhone. During that day we had been watching what appeared to be significant chem trails north to south and then east-west.

Fairlee, VT
There was a bright orange light in an oval shape, low in the sky at dusk that flamed and got brighter. It almost looked like a comet, but was not streaking. It was stationary. Eventually, this light started to fade out and when it did, it streaked across the sky with a tail, and then another orange oval appeared at the end of it. The original orange oval reappeared and there was two orange ovals connected by a tail. It looked like two wheels and an axis. Then this larger shape faded away. About two minutes later, I saw the same thing a couple of miles down the road, except this time, when the initial orange colored oval appeared, and burned brightly and then faded into the tail action, two other orange oval shapes popped up in the sky as well simultaneously in different locations. They both streaked across the sky and followed the same pattern as the initial shape. So, there were three large shapes in the sky, each one had a an oval shape with a tail connected it to another oval shape. Three sets of wheels (six wheels) with three sets of axises scattered low in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hagerstown, MD
Driving on 70W towards Hagerstown coming down South Mountain (located a few miles south of Hagerstown), observed an object oval in shape. Object was green in color. Object moved straight forward overhead in the same direction as I was moving along 70W. Object took a little less than 2 seconds to fully cross the sky. Size and distance from car couldn't be determined. It was roughly the size of a quarter if I were to trace the shape through my front window. No sound could be heard because my windows were closed and music was on. Number of witnesses is unknown as there were several cars on the highway (20 or more) and I'm not sure who noticed the object.

For a couple of months now I see in the woods next to where I live around 8:00 PM every night the woods start to have real bright lights coming from there. After woods light up in certain areas you can see small oval bright lights exting the woods than will hover over you for a couple of minutes than take of slowly I have footage that I have on my camera.

Glastonbury, CT
It was the brightest object I have ever seen, it was 5:45 am, it was moving at about 60-80 mph in a northerly direction. As I rounded a curve on route 2 eastbound I lost sight of it. There were no other lights visible on the object except the sheer brilliance of the object. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vermilion, OH
I just saw a photograph that I took in 2016. I did not notice the object in the sky until today, March 16, 2021. The photo was on my Facebook page from the memory section. There is a boat looking object in the sky. The memories come from Facebook and so the date is probably close to today.

Bandon, OR
Isn't a planet because of the shape and spires and time of night and year. Not a plane because it doesn't move, and there are no airplane routes over Bandon going east to west. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I'm looking east. I don't know angle or height. Maybe over 14k feet up. It disappeared around 10:30 pm last night. ((END ADDENDUM))

Elkview, WV
I was sitting outside of the Mcdonald's in Elkview waiting to clock into work, I was smoking a cigarette and looking at my phone (it didn't have a camera unfortunately) when something caught my eye like a bright reflection off a car. I looked up and probably about 1,000 or so feet away behind the mountains where Wills creek begins, a silver disc-like object had rose up about 30 or 40 feet above the mountain tops. I got my co-worker's attention who was smoking with me and she watched it as well until it disappeared. As it rose slowly up in the air, it didn't really go straight up at first, more like in slow, diagonal, jerky movements at times, while it rotated on it's axis. It had a spot about as bright as the sun on it (maybe even brighter, it's what caught my eye)and the sun was reflecting off of it, but the sun was above it, and the light rotated in a fixed spot on the craft, rotating with its axis. It was probably about 50-60 feet wide and 25-30 feet tall!. It also seemed to be distorting its shape at times, like it was distorting or changing its shape or stretching and contracting. After about a minute or so, it started to rise straight up really fast for about maybe 15 seconds, probably almost to 2,000 feet maybe 2,100 (the elevation in Elkview is 604 feet), where it stopped, quit rotating, and in a few seconds literally just vanished, liked it turned invisible or ceased to exist. This was real, I wasn't high, drunk, in sleep deprivation, nor strung out on anything in withdrawal. And I had a witness, at least two, of it so far I know, me and her. It wasn't a drone, an airplane, a balloon (which I thought it might have been at first). Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
