Matador, TX
Last night I driving west out in the middle of no where Texas and I saw a light in the sky. At first I thought it may be a plane flying with its landing lights on far in the distance. Because it looked like a central light. As I got closer I thought no it’s a helicopter. And it seemed to move side to side. Anyway I came into the town, Matador, Texas, and pulled off the side of the road at a fast station. And walked inside. The light was just southeast of town hovering about 600 to a thousand feet up. And it was BRIGHT. I went inside and asked if their was a tower there or a helicopter field close by, but I couldn’t hear anything. No chopper sounds. She said no and came outside and said she didn’t know what it is. Another car with two ladies also stopped and at first thought. It was possibly the water tower (it’s not). Then they drove closer they came back and said they thought maybe it was a helicopter, but wasn’t sure. Because once again no sound and that the light was hovering over ranchland southeast of town. I witnessed the light for roughly 48 minutes before my work clock demanded I get back on the road. And snapped a few pictures with my phone. There was cloud cover so it wasn’t a star or satellite. It was airborne for to long to be a normal drone and was to silent to be a helicopter. While watching it a light shined down from whatever it was about 6 times in that 48 minutes I observed it. In the pictures. There were two other lights that couldn’t be seen due to the central light being so bright. But they showed on the photograph. I’ve been driving a truck since 2003 and was a scout in the army. I’ve observed a lot of flying objects late at night that are identifiable. This one I couldn’t. I’ve reached out to a local aerial weather group that does fly large drones in that area to see if it was maybe one of theirs or if they might know something. But this one for now has me puzzled. And when looking at the photos this thing was quite large.

Los Angeles, CA
I saw an arrowhead-shaped (triangular) craft at 6:30-ish p.m. Sept. 10, 2019, while driving home from my office in Los Angeles. I was stopped in the left-hand turn lane on Sixth Street at Alvarado, facing east. On my right was the corner of MacArthur Park. On the left was a Bank of America. The object was about 150 to 200 yards away, hovering above the street on the north side, about 4 or 5 stories up. It rose about 10 feet, banked up and to the left (north) and went behind a building. It was about the size of a small car (judging from where the building sits on Sixth Street). The back of it was black and had two bright lights. The top, as it banked, appeared to be black down the center, and either side of that swath was midnight blue. It was metallic because as it banked, it reflected the sunlight (sun was behind me, in the west). There were no propellers and no wings. That’s what made me feel it wasn’t a drone. The next day, I called two of the LAPD’s Ramp! art station non-emergency numbers. I never got a human to pick up the phone. I left my name and number and told them only that I’d witnessed something and wanted to know if anyone else had phoned in. I also phoned the Bank of America, which has a security camera on its overhang on the corner of Sixth and Alvarado — four times. I wanted to know if someone on their security staff would look at footage from that evening. I know within about a 5-minute window when I saw this. Not only did I never get a human to pick up the phone, the bank doesn’t even let you leave a message. I am also sure the Rampart station has security cameras, too. I saw the object for only about 3 or 4 seconds but I saw it as plainly as I saw cars on the street.

Driving south on 50. toward the west a boomerang like triangle flew over the highway. Three lights flashed and pulsed, shifting from very bright to barely visible. Sometimes all three would flash, occasionally only one or the other. The aircraft was close to the ground and moved incredibly fast in a strange curved flight pattern.

It was a triangle shaped object and had lights all over it that changes colors moving slowly across the sky then disappeared. There were several smaller triangle's in the sky also. The next few nights, I have seen one smaller triangle with flashing lights on it.

Bakersfield, CA
Note: I am an avid night sky watcher and astronomy novice; due to this fact, before publishing this report, and directly after my sighting, I attempted to debunk what I saw, before categorizing it as an unidentified object flying (UFO). Incident: At approximately 23:30 on September 06, 2019, I witnessed a UFO flying at a very high altitude and at a rather slow speed with a NE flight path. When the flashing object first caught my eye, I thought I was seeing maybe a meteor or a falling star; it seemed star-like as it flew closer toward my location. I thought this as I know the night sky during the beginning of fall brings such occurrences. However, because I do study night skies and am aware of certain astronomical happenings, it did not seem likely a falling star or meteor. After I realized it was no star or meteor I looked up flight plans and the flight schedule(s) of my local Meadows’ Field Airport in Bakersfield, CA, and found nothing. The local airport was closed for the evening and by the look of the craft, I knew immediately it was no plane or jet. The object had no “jet” stream, was flashing, the animals were stir-crazy, it flew very close to the ground without causing one thing on the ground to move from its force, as well as the fact that it did not make one sound as it passed above and then beyond my location. These facts coupled with the shape of the craft led me to conclude it was most likely an UFO. I could not believe what I was seeing and rubbed my eyes several times all the while gasping at the closeness and vividness of my encounter. I did not have a camera at the time, but I will describe specifically the appearance of the craft below. Description: Initially the craft looked star like in shape with white and blue lights flashing in an almost aura-like way. As the craft stayed in continuous motion, I began to realize it was a craft of some sort with a seeming flight plan. Instead of star-like, the closer the craft got to my location; I began to see it was triangular in shape and was flashing not only white and blue but read as well. I noticed the lights were also in the shape of a triangle seemingly lining the bottom of the craft; however, it was not until it flew directly over my head and beside me that I also noticed it had what seemed like a second craft or maybe it was the top half of the object, floating above the one below with a tethering of what seemed like a strand of lights which were not flashing but pulsating. The object flew so low to the ground I was concerned as to what might happen as it was flying rather flying rather slow. When the object was in my direct path, I noticed it was dead silent! and did not fly straight as it seemed to drift from side to side sometimes in a half circle and seemingly around obstructions. Once the craft passed my line of view I watched where it would go next and it seemingly disappeared once it hit a certain point by my location. I had a feeling I was to see more that night and I did of which I have video and will submit with my second and final sighting.

Within a few moments we noticed a small plane arrive in the same area as where the craft was and began making circles, as if they saw it, too, and were looking for it.

I’m at a football game, marching band, it’s halftime, and a scalene triangle with bright lights and a red dot in the center appeared in the sky, we noticed it appear, then it disappeared a few seconds later, our suspicion grew throughout the night and the lights were too odd to be a normal aircraft.

Triangle shape, rounded corners with lights pointing down inset from these corners. Observed this two times now aprox. 10:20 PM both times in area of Hwy 7. First time at the top of Muck Creek hill myself traveling North, craft hovering aprox.500ft completely still and NO noise. Second time Northbound same area , craft coming towards me figured it was plane as lights came on. But as I proceeded craft stayed in my windshield frame and realized it was descending right over me. Again NO nois , sped up and crested the hill, it descended till out of sight towards the road. Kept watching in rearview and truck passed and saw brake lights. Looked online and it looked like TR-3B.

Saw another report. Had to say I also reported 3 lights in triangle form with military aircrafts in pursuit. Was one giant object. In between lights were darker then the outside sky. Just cruising across the sky.

Englewood, CO
The craft was hovering just above the horizon, at first witnessed blinking light to the left, which did not seem out of the ordinary. Heading up Belleview towards Broadway for a good 10 minutes noticed the location of the lights remained unchanged, also noticed several other blinking lights, at points around the bottom left point, lights location did not change but the appearance (color) pattern and visual of lights did change, periodically. Asked my passenger what we were seeing, to confirm that my witness also saw the object. We could not determine what it was we were seeing, but felt scared and compelled to document the incident in 2 photographa that I have also submitted. The triangle craft would periodically show 3 lights at triangular points revealing a HUGE object. After this, it would go back to 1 singular light remaining lit, unblinking at one of the 3 points. Several times, almost in a pattern, there would be a flashing light succession that would travel from the bottom left up to the top middle point, which was terrifying to witness. Honestly, the pictures are not great, I should have taken a video, but was very unsure of its presence and intent. We felt best to continue to our location in case it was a foreign presence/ entity. The entire 15 minutes that my eyes were locked on the object (we were driving towards it for over 10 minutes), the location of the possibly mile wide at base object was unchanged. It was hovering there. I am reporting this now, because I have been notified just before the new year 2020 of other similar sightings of this craft throughout the United States and feel it is of importance that I add my witness statement to account for location, size and time of visual of the craft. The succession of lights and back to black sky of night was breathtaking. Not in a good way, my passenger and I were baffled, curious and scared. The rest of our group of 3 cars all arrived at the home separately- others did not see the craft, took a different route, but we did all arrive to the location as planned within minutes of each other, indicating that no time had been lost during our travel, nor I or my passenger was harmed or abducted while witnessing the crafts presence. I saw something far too large to be a craft of human engineering.

Skies were clear heard kind of a rumbling then I noticed a craft appear over the trees hovering. as it accelerated forward over my location it did not sound like a plane. I saw one bright white light, a green blinking light with storming smaller white lights

I was out on my balcony, smoking a cigarette, when I heard a loud droning noise above me. I looked out to see an extremely low flying craft, only a couple hundred feet up, going too slow to be a jet or a plane. It had three lights at each of the points of the triangle, and a ring in the center of them that pulsed softly. The lights were pure bright white, like a pure light LED, and though I couldn't tell what color the ship was, it was clearly a dark triangle. It was heading northeast, towards a patch of woods. I stood frozen for what seemed like forever (20 seconds or so), then went inside to get my partner. We came back out to see it make a turn and glide over the trees heading west, then disappear. About twenty minutes later we saw it go back towards the east and disappear into the distance.

I was walking my dog on the corner of juniper and 22nd street ona. Quiet morning of August. While passing under a short tree, I noticed a noise. Like a fan. Soon I noticed there was a triangular hover craft type of drone flying about 500 feet in the air. I ran after it but it soon disappeared and headed SW. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be sincere and sober-minded, PD

While pumping gas And filling my tank I was looking around and chanced to look up, noting one large moving black triangle, each point having a small white light. Oddly it also seemed to be followed/attached to a smaller black rectangle. Both were blotting out stars as it moved slowly southeast, toward Godfrey’s Ridge, in a direction toward what we locally term “Cherry Valley.” As it moved on the stars/sky reappeared. It made no sound Time was just after sunset, some light, some stars, some small clouds still could be seen in Western sky. I cannot judge how large it was but my impression was if I held up a beach ball above my head I think it would have been blocked from my sight. I live in the area and am very familiar with flight patterns in:out of Newark, NJ airport and the flight path taken by our local hospitals Med-Evacs helicopters. It was a very busy traffic evening, I could see Route 611 and both eastbound and west bound Route 80 from where I stood and traffic was heavy. So many people were out and about I sssumed I would see a report in the nightly news or the next days paper, but saw no reference or report.

9/30/19 3:45am Dunedin sitting lasted 5 seconds triangle shape, no sound, 3 translucent lights, flying very low the ufo was transparent I said transparent because while it was passing you can still see the stars through it while it was passing it was so low that I can hear it cut into the wind and that's what caught my attention and the only reason why I was outside at this time is because I work the night shift and I vape and it's not allowed in the building to vape because of the residence and I happen to be at the right spot looking at the right direction and I witness this triangle ship passing by

When I first noticed the object it appeared to be low in the night sky as I was driving on 675N it was crossing my truck from east to west. It was a V-shaped craft with 2 white lights on both wings and 1 white light in the front and 1 flashing red light behind the front light. It made a wide U-shaped flight pattern and came back towards my truck while descending, At first, I thought it was going back to WPAFB to make a landing, but it just kept dropping down and then I thought it might be crashing. But the craft came to a stop just over top of the tree line next to the 70W freeway. It stayed there for the remainder of the time motionless as I was driving past it getting onto the 70W interstate. I stuck my head out of my passenger side window to look at the bottom of the craft and it was in a wing shape and appeared to be black on the bottom. I didn't hear any noise coming from it, but I was in a tractor trailer, so hard to tell if it was making any noise.

Cleveland (West Park), OH
Saturday, 8/24/19, 9:40pm EDT over the West Side of Cleveland. I was sitting outside doing a fire pit in my back yard with one of my neighbors. I'm in the West Park area of Cleveland, but almost in Brook Park, not far from Hopkins Airport. My neighbor was sitting facing the right direction, ENE, to see it first. I was facing N. She said, "Hey, look at THAT, behind the trees!" There was a triangular formation of 3 steady solid red lights. I'd guess ENE at about 55 degrees on the compass, and maybe 25-30 degrees above the ground. I think the triangle was pointing down, with the 2 lights on top, and 1 below. Was so excited, I don't remember for sure, but definitely was a triangle. She can't recall either. The formation finally came over the trees, but was much higher up, going WSW about 250 degrees and seemed high in the sky. They were completely silent. Took maybe a minute or less to transverse the sky, I don't know how high up they were. I would say the triangle was the width of 2 full moons. The formation broke up into the lights being side by side after being just overhead, but a little to the north, and got dimmer and somewhat translucent as it went toward the WSW. 2 more red lights came from the ENE, side by side, and went the same way, then 2 more dimmer ones the same way. Then my neighbor then said, "Look", pointing slightly in the WSW direction, I couldn't see it. maybe my eyes couldn't adjust looking over the bright fire pit, but she said a round red light maybe 20X as big, she called it "the mother ship" but she said it was very dim and could hardly see it herself, with the other red lights surrounding it, all moving WSW and just faded as to the WSW she said. I thought all the lights were faded and gone by the tine she seen the big dim one. Looked to me on the ones I could see, they were going just maybe slightly north of Hopkins Airport and still high in the sky. The West Side and maybe downtown had to see it. I tried video recording it on my phone, but my screen was pitch black, phone not good in the dark. Later on I seen at one point I got 2 faint dots, what I assume were the top 2 lights, the bottom light must have been hidden by the trees. That's all I got as nothing showing in my viewing screen to aim at as it was moving.
