Arvada, CO
Hi there! My boyfriend (a police officer) and I (molecular lab tech) had both just left my house in Arvada, driving in two different directions and we both saw four, slow-moving, almost hovering oval shapes in the sky that definitely were not helicopters or planes. They were moving very close together in a diamond shape and were emitting a yellowish-white light. The light of one of them would fade slowly in and out, as though it was possibly disappearing behind a cloud. I tried to follow them toward the east but lost sight and they disappeared. This is my first ever sighting. I was able to take a picture on my mobile phone of two of them due to obstructed view.

UFO Sighting in Littleton, Massachusetts, Nov. 1, 2015 - 5:15 PM EST. Did anyone else see the really up-close UFO this evening at 5:15 PM EST over Littleton, Massachusetts by the Groton/Littleton Route 119 EXIT off Interstate Highway Route 495 (which runs North/South) ?????????... Yes! ... Three of us saw a UFO this evening at dusk time, in Littleton, right before the sun set in the west. ... It was as close as 100 yards away, flying right over the new Littleton Police Station on Route 119 (which runs East / West), near the brand new Demoulas Market Basket Supermarket Plaza on Route 119, near Littleton Center! ... My sister's boyfriend (who saw it FIRST, and pointed it out, as he was standing in a westerly direction), myself, and my lifelong friend,were standing in my sister's driveway when her boyfriend said: "Wow! ... Look at THAT! ... What is THAT?!" ... My friend and I immediately looked up into the Western / Southwestern sky, and we all saw the exact same thing at the same time! ... It was a UFO !! ... It was flying no mor! e than 100 feet, if that, over the tree lines on the southern side of Route 119, heading west. ... The object was heading from the northeastern sky towards the southwestern sky just before sunset. The sun was shining on it from our left, in the southwest, as we looked due west. ... It came from out of nowhere! It made no sounds, at all. It was internally illuminated, colored a very bright white in the center. All around the perimeter of the object, it was surrounded by a fine bright metallic blue band of bright light. It was oval-shaped, but not perfectly oval-shaped from our vantage point. Also, it was moving VERY FAST !! It left no vapor trails or exhaust fumes behind it. It cast no shadow on the ground. It made no normal aviation type sounds that a jet, or an aeroplane, or a air liner, or a small propellor plane, or a weather helicopter, or a military chopper might make. Nothing! No sounds! It zipped across the sky, coming from, virtually, out of nowhere! The whole perception of it, for all three of us, only lasted between two and ! three se conds, at the most, but that was enough to get a very good look at it. Also, it appeared to be DESCENDING, as if it intended to LAND somewhere off to the southwest in a farm field in one of the western farms that run along both sides of Route 119 on the west side of Highways 495. ... It was RIGHT ABOVE the tree line! ... We all thought it was going to CRASH, and we were expecting to hear a LOUD BANG, and possibly see flames and smoke. ... But just then, something REALLY WEIRD happened that NONE of us have ever seen before (and I have seen a UFO now, after this, for the THIRD time in my life): instead of the bright, silent, wicked fast, descending, oval-shaped, and internally illuminated object CRASHING to the ground over and past the trees nearby the new, Littleton Police Station, the object, amazingly, SPLIT APART into THREE separate flying round, white, oval lights with a blue tint around the perimeter, and IN FORMATION, these three objects all continued flying / zipping /! floating / gliding / piercing west through the sky over the tree line by Route 119, and then TOTALLY DISAPPEARED from our sight! ... GONE! ... Into thin air! ... Did they LAND? ... Did they CRASH? ... Did they CHANGE DIRECTION on a dime? ... Did they hover even CLOSER to the ground? ... Did they zip off to the South or to the NORTH behind the trees and beyond our sight SO FAST that we could not see them change direction? ... Or, did they ZOOM UP and OUT of our lower atmosphere instantly and so fast that the human eye cannot detect the exit path of their motion?! ... We do not know! ... But, we do know this: we all saw it at the same time. We saw it appear from, apparently, out of NOWHERE. ... We saw it split into THREE separate ovals or spheres. ... Lastly, we saw it then totally DISAPPEAR beyond the tree line without a trace! ... It was real! ... Did anyone else SEE that? …

San Diego, CA
At first I noticed a red orb hanging in the southwest sky. I thought it was venus at first, but it was a bright red and it was moving. It seemed so far away, yet close at the same time. The orb moved downwards in a line perpendicular to the horizon, and it seemed to get brighter as it fell closer. At first it moved in a linear fashion, so I thought it was a shooting star or that Halloween asteroid, but it was moving too slowly and seemed too close to be a celestial object. After about a minute watching the red orb, it changed color to a pale grey and was difficult to see in the night sky. The shape of the orb seemed more disk like at this point and it changed direction from south to west - a maneuver that both my friend and I had not seen any planes or helicopters do. The dim, grey disk moved slowly and we thought we had lost sight of it, but it was distinct and clearly not something we were used to seeing move in the night sky. It changed direction from west to south again, but appeared to move away from us instead of closer as it had when it was bright red... and then we lost sight of it.

Columbia, MO
I was driving west out of Columbia, MO, on I-70 when I noticed several red objects at a distance. I would estimate there were about ten of them. They were flying close together and zigzagging around. As I got closer, most of the red lights disappeared leaving two. One flew right over my car and it looked rather oblong shaped, mostly red but had some yellow in it. It looked somewhat hazy.

Plattsburgh, NY
While driving along Route 9 South an oval type object was seen hovering over the water of Lake Champlain about 1/4 of a mile off Wilcox Dock. The object was a translucent white/grey in color and had a series of lights on the top of it. The lights were Red and orange in color. The object hovered over the water at about six feet above the lake. As I drove to get a closer look it simply took off into the sky at a significant speed. It did not make a sound.

Brinklow, MD
I was taking an evening walk around 7:15 pm and for some reason, I looked up at the sky. I saw four oval to rectangular-shaped objects in the sky that were moving counter-clockwise, coming together and then splitting apart. My son saw two more in another part of the sky. They were moving in a circle and then meeting up. This went on for about 2 hours, until they faded. I believe they're still there, but too light to see. They were - at one point - very bright in the sky, and today was partly cloudy. It even sprinkled around 8 pm. I reported the same thing about about year or two ago. I tried to take a picture and video, but nothing came through.

Towson, MD
On 10/23/15, about 1:45 p.m., clear & sunny day, I took the Charles St. exit off 695. At the top of the off ramp, looking east, there were 2 white oblong shaped objects in the sky, same height but with some distance between them. I watched them while I waited for traffic to move, thinking they were blimps but the objects never moved and seemed to be at a higher altitude than blimps fly. They just hung there for the 2-3 minutes I watched and were still there when I drove away. It made me feel weird but I convinced myself they were just blimps until I saw a similar report on your website from a couple weeks ago that sounds exactly like what I saw. Aerostats, probably. PD

I can't say exactly what we saw. My son and I were outside around 9 pm, 10/22/15. It was very dark, but we were just playing toss with the football, and he pointed up to the sky in the south and I saw an orange oval shining orb sitting stationary. It wasn't moving so I passed it off as being Mars or Venus. But a few minutes later as as threw him the ball one moment he saw the planet-looking thing and by the time him caught the ball seconds later the object in the sky had disappeared. Admittedly, we can usually see Mars or Venus however you see those planets throughout the night and whatever we saw was gone. I've always been a skeptic but this experience has definitely peaked my curiosity. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hagerstown, MD
On Thursday Oct. 22,2015 at around 8:15pm. I was mowing and saw a low flying object that had about 3 red lights and also white lights on the front ( it appeared round? ). Flying over the South Mountain range from Smithsburg, MD, towards Hagerstown/Frederick area. This is actually the second time I have seen a UFO in this area. The first time was about almost a year ago and I happened to see bright lights while I was driving and as I quickly looked up I saw it was hovering over a house ( very low in the sky). I could not hear any noise from it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Parkton, MD
I saw two grey, oval shaped objects hovering in the sky. I was on 83 south just before the Mt. Carmel exit. The traffic was backed up, so we were able to just sit and observe. They did not have any visible lights. After about a minute, one shot off really fast towards the Hampstead direction. The other, hovered in one place for about five minutes before disappearing. We saw similar objects in the same area around the same time about 6 months ago.

Olney (Musgrove Park), IL
On October 19th, 2015, at approximately 7:45 PM, I observed a glowing orange object, circular to oval in shape, moving south to north in the sky for approximately one minute, until it disappeared. It appeared to be flying at an altitude of 3000 AGL. There was no sound, no exhaust trail of any kind and it was moving quite fast without any navigation lights observed. I am a retired pilot, and this did not appear to be an airplane or helicopter of any kind. This incident occurred just slightly west of Musgrove Park in Olney, IL. Report from pilot. PD

Timonium, MD
Driving north on 83 past Timonium this afternoon, clear skies. Something "pulsing" in my peripheral vision got my attention. When I looked directly at it there was something in the sky pulsing between complete transparency and a dark metallic color. By the time I got my phone out I could no longer see it (and nearly crashed). Due to the odd nature of it, I couldn't tell size or height but it was unlike anything I have seen or know to exist. It was definitely not the white blimps over APG that other people seem to report. My mind is kinda blown over this. If anyone has seen similar, I'd like to talk about it.

Austin, TX
Me and my Dad were out driving at highway 290 about 30 miles from Austin, Texas. As we were driving, we saw a oval shaped object about the size of a van. It looked like it was made from steel and made no movement. It seemed to be reflecting light from the moon. We watched it for about 2 minutes, then drove off in shock. I then after looked for a UFO reporting website. We spoke with one of the witnesses, and he sounded to us to be serious, and sober-minded. We suspect that the party is a reliable witness. PD

Okeechobee, FL
I looked up into the sky overhead and to my left. I saw a very, very faint extended oval shaped, blue ring, with white lights around the inner circumference. It was traveling rapidly at approximately a 60 deg angle from the horizon over Lake Okeechobee. There were no drugs or alcohol present at the reporting sight.

Sedona, AZ
My wife and I were on vacation in Scottsdale, AZ, and traveled to Sedona for the day. We took many photos from our cell phones (16MB camera) when there. A few days ago we copied the photos to our computer, and on the larger screen were able to notice what looks to us like a saucer shaped UFO above the mountain in the attached photo. My wife took the photo. Not knowing what she had photographed, I took the same view / photo within a minute later with my camera phone (both Samsung S5's), mine is stamped 3:30 pm (local time) and the object cannot be seen. We are pretty certain there was not any debris on the camera lens, we’ve never had debris on any of our photos and have taken thousands. This is a recognizable mountain in the area, but I can’t tell you exactly where we were, or which way we were facing. I really wish I had Geo-tagging turned on when the photo was taken!

Navarre, FL
On 10/15/15 at approximately 9:45 am, my son, age 14, and I age 42 were fishing on the Navarre Beach, FL, community pier facing west. I'm not sure what caused me to look straight up in the sky, but when I did, I saw a diamond, or possibly oval, shaped object, dark colored making erratic movements. It moved in straight lines at extremely fast speeds then would stop immediately making several zig zag type patterns before it disappeared. It didn't fly very far. It stayed mostly in the same area straight up in the sky. I asked my son if he saw it. He said he did and wondered if it could have been a bug. We both looked back up and we saw it again making the same movements before it stopped and shot straight up making a slight curve as it disappeared. We agreed that it could not have been a bug due to height at which it appeared to be and it made no sound. The object was too far away to make out its shape. There was very little wind, It was sunny and the sky was mostly clear. There were no other aircraft in the sky at the time. We have never witnessed a UFO before. This object moved like no other aircraft I have ever seen even after spending 4 years in the U.S.A.F.

It was a squished oval shape that kind of looked like a blimp but much more thinner. It emitted a flash then changed color from blue to red to green then to red and disappeared was close and in 1 min it was farther. Used binoculars like a flat football. It couldn't be a blimp because there isn't a stadium, arena, amphitheater, etc.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Eagle, ID
Close Encounter of the First Kind with UFO. Location: Eagle, Idaho Date/Time of Encounter: October 14, 2015, at approximately 19:30 MDT. Weather: Clear Sunset: 19:02 MDT TIMELINE OF EVENTS: 19:30 MDT - 20:52 MDT - While at work, I received the following text messages from my wife: Wife: Hello!!! We saw UFO. Now I am scared. Me: what!!!! Are you okay?!?!? Wife: It’s true. My and my mom saw UFO. He was looking on us (two eyeballs icon). Me: what?? Wife: I am ok!! We are at home. Me: what was it?!? what was it??!?1? what???!? Wife: I don’t know. I will tell you when you call me. We are all ok. Don’t worry. We just saw UFO in a sky. 21:51 MDT - I called my wife and she explained to me what had happened (see narration). 00:20 MDT - I called the Eagle Police Department to report the UFO incident. They called me back and gave me the contact information for the National UFO Reporting Hotline 1 (206) 938-2260 (sic. 722-3000), which is located in Seattle, Washington. 00:33 MDT - I called the National UFO Reporting Hotline and spoke with Peter Davenport. NARRATION OF SIGHTING: At approximately 19:30 MDT on October 14, 2015 my wife and mother-in-law were walking eastbound on W. Brandt Lane returning home from shopping at the Fred Meyer, and as they were approaching the pedestrian walkway that cuts into the Foxtail Estates Development, suddenly they visually sighted a UFO appear approximately 50 meters in front of them at approximately 50 meters above ground level from due East crossing over the top of S. Bergman Way. The UFO stopped in midair approximately 50 meters above and in the vicinity of the house located at 3266 S. Fox Leash Avenue. The UFO was silent and did not make any noise as it approached and then stopped in midair and remained in a stationary position for approximately 45-60 seconds…silent. The UFO appeared dark in color; approximately 12-15 meters wide by 3-4 meters in height. The UFO had a green position light on the left side and a green position light on the right side. There appeared to be a smaller red light approximately in the middle of the UFO. The UFO appeared to have “seen” my wife and mother-in-law, stopped its forward movement, and for approximately 30-45 seconds they had the experience that the UFO was “looking” at or “observing" them. The two green position lights on the UFO suddenly shined down directly at them as if it was trying to light them up. The red light in the middle of the UFO remained on and visible while the two green position lights beamed down on them. My wife described the feeling "like two deer caught in the headlights," frozen in place in fear and thinking that “they were going to get shot by the UFO!!” They did not know what to do, did not know what the UFO was, but it was definitely NOT a helicopter, airplane, or any other machine that either of them had ever seen or heard about before. Then suddenly, the UFO flipped over (it did not turn around or maneuver, it “flipped over...with the bottom on top.”), and simultaneously emitted a strange noise as it departed which sounded like a combination of "a computer-g! enerated Star Wars R2-D2 sound, a rubbing metal-on-metal sound, and screeching cats sound" … flying away suddenly and quickly (in the same direction that it had appeared) in an easterly direction. My wife and mother-in-law were in shock and continued walking back home, scared, continuing to look for the UFO, but did not see it again. A few minutes after arriving home, my wife went out into the backyard, and looked for the UFO again, but did not see it.
