Berkeley, NJ
Myself and several coworkers at the Ocean County Road Department witnessed a silent object flying low in the sky on the morning of July 22, 2014. The sighting took place at our garage around 6 or 7am when we reported for work. The object seemed to change shape or possibly rotate in a controlled manor. While the object was moving in the direction of the airport, it was very low and not lined up with the one runway that existed there at the time. It did not appear to change altitude or speed and there was no light or vapor trail being emitted from it. The recent government disclosure prompted me to locate the video to submit.

Cottonwood, CA
Well, I was playing music with one of my close friends. The night was winding down it was about 3am. I step outside of my trailer... I look up and noticed something not right in the sky. To my first glance, it looked like the stars were moving. Not like shooting stars, but in strange patterns. Nothing like I had ever seen before. I run inside to get my friend and he notices it to. We observe that the “stars” we see respond to this cloaked ship of ever-changing size and shape. My friend, not as freaked out about this, went to bed because he had work in the morning. I stay out there for 3 more hours watching. Some came very close to me. The three hours I was out there, it felt like 15 minutes. Nothing like I have ever seen.

Quitman, TX
Driving home from Winnsboro to Quitman at 9:15pm on Saturday July 12th, I noticed a different kind of light in the Eastern sky. The light resembled these new type of car headlights (HiD or Led) lights. It hovered for a few seconds and moved West in extremely fast speed not capable by anything humans have. When it was passing in front of me, it split into 2 of these. As I watched fly by, it suddenly disappeared. With Facebook, I passed along what I saw on the way home. I had 20+ people comment on it people from Austin which is 250 miles Southwest of here and others from Louisiana which is 250+ miles East of here. There is video footage of this sighting being circulated.

Camden, SC
My wife's cousin was outside when she yelled we are avid ufo investagators. I feel the pull sometimes when the ships are close. The cousin screamed and i ran to the door she was standing on the side porch in rural sc. As i got to the door, it was approaching fast and stopped about 60 feet away and 80 feet up. It hovered as clear as day silent as a smooth wind .my wife screams as i have to see what was the commtion. We watched it watch us for 10minutes solid at least. I stood dumbfounded and afraid. Upon the final minute or so it pulls off circular in shape, with light blue lights rounding the edges with a red light emitting from the bottom. As it left it seemed to grow wings as pass as silently as it pulled up.

Torrance, CA
Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at about 9:15 pm Pacific Time. Torrance, CA looking west toward the Redondo Beach coastline. There was a marine layer several hundred feet high and appeared to be off the coast. I stepped out of my house to make sure the cars were locked and noticed a bright red-orange light rising from the horizon. Looking in this direction you can often see aircraft departing from Los Angeles International Airport. I am a pilot so when I saw the odd and very bright light I looked to see if there were any of the flashing position lights normally seen on aircraft. There were none. As the light rose to what I estimate to be about 1,000 feet I noticed two additional red-orange lights rising from the horizon. I refer to these as lights 2 and 3. Recognizing this was unusual I called by two adult sons to come witness what I was seeing. Light #1 dimmed to a faint white light and stopped in the sky at about 2,000 feet. The other two rose together then separated their formation. Light # 2 appeared to track out to sea in the direction of the northern end of Catalina Island. Both dimmed like the first one but could still bee seen. Light 3 continued to rise and stop at roughly the same altitude as Light 1. This pattern continued with four to six more lights. Some of the lights moved in a straight path. Some changed directions and stopped in one place at times before continuing to move. I continued watching Light #1, as it approached us. As it got closer it appeared translucent and white. It was wobbling and the closest thing I can describe it resembling is a modern parachute. However, this was no parachute! It passed us to the south and we lost it as it went behind some trees. Very bizarre!

Mount Eden, KY
Early in the morning of July 6, 2014, an object hovered in the eastern sky over Shelby County, Ky. It was very bright, glowing almost to a white color and partially turning red at times. It would move slowly east and west and then bounce around and become still again. Once it seemed to break apart and join back together. It made no sound. I know where Venus appears in the morning sky and this was not Venus. Venus appeared at the appropriate time. From my observation in my back yard it could have been several thousand feet up. I viewed it through binoculars, and when it left, it shot across the sky at an incredible speed and was gone.

Davenport/Harrington, WA
On July 6th, at approximately 12:15 A.M., we were driving on Highway 28 from Davenport to Harrington. There were two people in the vehicle. We looked over to the right (Southwest) and saw a big bright yellow light that was indistinguishable in shape. It was at approximately 10 degrees above the horizon and looked like a smashed circle. To its left there were two smaller white lights that we could tell were not stars because they were too big. None of the lights moved, they were all still. After maintaining constant eye contact with the object for approximately two minutes, the yellow light began to shrink and in about ten seconds it looked exactly like the other white lights in shape and color. Still none of the lights moved. Within one minute, the previously yellow light (now a small white light) disappeared from the sky in one second. The other two remained at their positions. About three minutes later, all of the lights disappeared. The area of the sky where the lights had been seen remained lit up, for no apparent reason, while the rest of the sky was cloudy and dark. Five minutes later, the yellow light had shown up again as a small dot in the sky and in about three seconds it expanded into its previously larger size. The other white lights never showed up again. As we reached Harrington we went back to the house to grab a camera and we returned to the Highway 28 with two other passengers. We turned left onto the beginning of Scott Road and parked to observe the UFO. At that point, the light had shrunk again to the size of a small yellow dot of light, and that time it had lowered to approximately 3 degrees above the horizon. After about two minutes sitting in the car observing the light, it began to expand again, and in about three seconds it had expanded to its larger size to which we had seen before. We attempted to photograph the object but the picture turned out somewhat blurry and distorted. In an attempt to get closer to the light we continued driving on Highway 28 towards Odessa. The hills blocked our view of the UFO so we decided to drive back to Scott Road and park there again. There we did not see the big yellow light, but we saw a small yellow pulsing light. We observed it for about four minutes and determined that it might not have been the same light. At about 12:49 A.M. we returned home.

El Monte, CA
At around 21:49 on Sunday August 7th, 2014, we were coming from the market and taking the groceries into the house. I looked up into the sky and told my girlfriend "look babe Mars." The object looked like a star, but since it was red I believed it was Mars. Then it started glowing orange also, which was odd. Then my girlfriends mother also started looking at it and said it might be a helicopter but it was way too high to be one. And planes do not shine that bright at that altitude. Then it started moving slowly towards the west. It looked like it was turning and just like that it disappeared. No plane that I know of or helicopter can disappear that quick, or turn at that radius as quick as that object did. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

White Lake, MI
One very bright orange “jelly bean” shaped object was witnessed hovering low in sky near Oxbow Lake off of M-59 and Teggerdine Roads. Saw object in sky after leaving shopping plaza in my car, with one other passenger. We were unable to photograph while driving, and pulled over at the intersection of M-59 and Teggerdine Roads into the parking lot of a local CVS drugstore. The craft had since lifted much higher in sky and the orange color around it was gone. There were white, red, and either blue or green lights flashing from underneath the craft which had ascended high into the sky. The sky was clear, and fireworks being displayed all around the lake that night by homeowners had just begun. I did manage to get a video of the craft, but it is so high that it may not prove useful.

Seattle, WA
Just a few minutes prior to our city fireworks display was to begin over Lake Union, northeast of the Space Needle I noticed an unusual reddish changing to orange light that was far brighter than the usual aircraft in the sky. I could also see that it was hovering. I zoomed in with my binoculars and I could see three lights - red, yellow and orange. The lights were flashing from right to left. They also had a luminescence not typical for the usual aircraft I might see in the sky. I had seen several helicopters overhead so I suspected I could be mistaking this hovering craft. Once zoomed in through my binoculars it did not look like a helicopter. I could see the outline of the helicopters when zoomed in on them. I was not able to see any detail aside from the lights on this craft. I ran to grab my camera and zoomed in to capture it as the light turned southward and vanished instantly. The following morning my thirteen year old son returned home from spending the night with friends and wanted to show me some unusual photos he had taken while situated to watch the fireworks. He had been on the west side of the city, on top of a hillside looking down toward the lake, and had a straight on view of these strange lights in the sky. From his vantage point there were three of these bright lights forming a triangle shape, without any lines or visible material in between these lights. He snapped two very clear photographs of the lights. He noticed they moved formation, not remaining in this triangle shape before they all disappeared. I posted these photos to my Facebook page on July 5th. The only comment made in response was from his Aunt who was at yet another part of the city, closer down toward the lake from where he and I both were during this time. She had also seen these lights and suspected they were of UFO nature. (I have seen on one other UFO reporting sight as of today, July 6th, 2014 - there has been one other report of this sighting in Seattle. It sounds like he was on the same hill as my son and reported a very similar description.)

Burien, WA
On July 3rd, 2014, around 10:27pm, I went to smoke a cigarette on the front porch facing east. The sky was fairly clear over my house but there was a light cloud cover that I noticed at sunset. I spotted an orange object that I intially thought was a helicopter coming from the east traveling in a south western pattern. Because I thought it looked strange so I took a photo with my smart phone camera. I quickly magnified the image and it did not look like a helicopter. After the first orange object faded from my view, another orange light traveling in the same pattern came into my view. Both objects were cruising at a casual speed, probably as fast as a helicopter. The objects were silent and the orange light appeared to be changing from small to bigger and then bigger to small. Just as the second one faded out of my view, a third one came along traversing in the same pattern. Then another after that one. At this point after seeing 3-4 orange objects I started! shooting a video of the orange/orb lights passing by. I got about 9 minutes of solid footage. I was in shock as I witnessed the first 3, I have never seen anything like it. It was either a group of top secret military helicopters or off-world extraterrestrial UFOs? I feel it might be the ladder, but I can not be sure. I saw about 10-12 orange/orb lights one after another flying in the same pattern between approximately 10:27pm -10:47pm Pacific Standard time.

Phoenix, AZ
At 1:00a.m. my son and I went out to walk the dog. He had seen this event the night before also when he walked the dog alone. Up in the sky was this translucent blue and white looking circular light. As we spoke about it and to it, an orange/red light ran through it as if it could tell we were speaking to it. It would morph into a cylinder light. I wonder if it were moving around or spinning. It would get long and thin and then become round again. It would pulsate also when we were talking so it looked like the lights were blinking in it. It was difficult to get an exact shape. It split a couple of times or appeared to. It moved up and over to the right as we walked the dog around. We went back inside as I wanted to share this with you. It was almost like a living entity, like it responded. I got a little scared for a second and it grew dimmer. As I relaxed it got brighter like it was proud or communicating. One thing interesting. We walk our dog about 5-10 minutes at a time. She does her business and we go in. It seemed we just got out there and it was 30 minutes later.

New York City (Queesn)(Jamaica), NY
Witnessed a very bright, ellipticle-shaped, yellowish/orange oval ball move quickly from left to right in a slight arc in the northern, clear sky. The streak/tail length was about a long city block, perhaps two considering wheere I was standing in front of my home. The stars were against the background sky canvas and in a clear sky. The speed was faster than an aircraft even from visual from ground distance. There was no cherry bombing or rockets sounds. It seems that it could have been about a 1-2 seconds and abruptly ceased.

Temecula, CA
We saw giant fire balls in the sky, it started off as three in a triangle formation then they changed into linear formation, then they disappeared and re-appeared several times during 30 minutes. The number of fire balls increased then decreased but at the end it went from 5 at the most to more than we could count. The large amount of fire balls were visible for att least 10 minutes so 40 minutes total, approximately. When filming and photographing the balls they looked like blinking lights. We were at least a 45 minute drive away from them but they were still very large and visible, we are about 3500 ft above sea level and they were still way above us. I have numerous photos and three videos.

Surfside Beach, SC
At approximately 22:37 on June-23-2014, I had observed 2 orange lights over the ocean. I was standing on the beach at near the pier. The lights were glowing bright for 10-15 seconds and then went out. They reappeared 5 seconds later and started to break apart into several smaller lights. They formed a perfectly straight line across the water until they came back together 10 seconds later. The lights went off a couple seconds later. After 7 seconds the lights reappeared and broke off into 8 eight smaller lights. They got brighter after they totally separated and then went out. I did not see them after that. 2 other people on the beach saw the same thing at the same time. This was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I am going back out tonight to see if I can catch it on film. We spoke via telephonw with the witness, and he sounded to us to be serious and sober-minded. He will have another witness submit a report, as well. PD

Valley Stream, NY
I came to Our Driveway to retreve items from trunk at approx 1 am , looking over open trunk of car, I see a light in sky. i thought it was a aircraft on fire. it was joined by two others they apeeared to be drifting eastward. My driveway faces 42 degrees east of North. At about even with Driveway, they moved Northward and began to rise or get smaller/dimmer. I ran inside and called my wife who obsvered the same. As we watched the third of the trio disappear, three more followed the same sequence of events. We moved to the front of the house and saw the last object, alone , come from the west towards us. It moved at a nice speed then slowed as it also turned north and dimmed and moved away from us. Our eight year old also witnessed the last four. They were bright orange. Just as the last was going over a jet was passing over us, from our NW toSE. THERE WERE NO SIMILARITIES IN APPEARANCE. I considered a flare but A flare would move with the wind ans not change direction.

Patterson, CA
I'm 34 and live out in the country in Patterson. My mother was over and we went outside to check on my animals and I looked up and noticed a yellow bright object in the south. It was hovering and made no sound. I began to record it using my cell phone. My sheep, chickens and dogs became agitated. The object became brighter and then began to move upwards. At this moment a helicopter flew over the top of it. It didn't budge. Then it began moving towards the north east and the closer it came the more we could make out that it now had 3 lights, and a dark oval outline. The main light was yellow and the other two were blue. It still made no sound. It was dead silent and flew at the attitude of a police helicopter and flew right overhead but, silence. During the time we watched it, my cell phone kept shutting down. We watched it until it disappeared behind the orchard.

Surf City, NC
An object gradually appeared near the horizon in the south. It brightened to an orange glow, then gradually faded. It appeared to be stationary in the sky. A second object appeared on the horizon and faded as the other object did. Then, two objects of a cigar shape, glowing orange appeared higher in the sky and closer to shore. Suddenly, three round objects glowed orange in a line above the two objects. All five objects were glowing orange for about 10 seconds. Then, suddenly, all the objects went dark.

Charlotte, NC
I have never really believed in this sort of thing, but I just saw an object in the sky over south Charlotte at 8:00 p.m., 6/15/2014. It was black and seemed to be a semi-circular shape but seemed to change shape in a slow, wobbly manner. Almost like a blob or jellyish type structure. It did not look natural. It either had a bright white light or some sort of reflection of the sun, but it was slowly spinning so the light would come and go. It was directly over me and in plain sight at low altitude. Someone with terrible eyesight could have easily seen it. I watched it for over five minutes, probably closer to ten. It moved very slowly, gaining in altitude pretty steeply in regard to how quickly it became too difficult to see. I recorded it from my phone, but it has no zoom. By the time I decided to find my phone and record, it had floated quite a distance. It was indistinguishable on the screen because of its altitude and the sun and lack of zooming ability. My neighbor walked out as I was filming. He watched it with me. By the time he saw it, the object was at a greater distance and higher altitude so he asked if maybe it was a weather balloon. It was not, though. It was almost thickly transparent-like, but then it would “morph” into a jet black with absolutely no plasma look to it. It did not look like it was “made of matter” in the sense that we usually perceive matter. I am somewhat shocked because I am a hard sceptic of almost any phenomena reported on any subject. I called the airport. They said that they know of nothing in the sky, that there is a National Guard Base nearby. Really though, I’m not sure why I called them because this “object” did not look natural and moved in a very unnatural manner as well. It was not a “vehicle” per se. I am truly at a loss for words. I saw it earlier this week too, but it was very far away so I didn’t call or make a report because I wasn’t sure what I saw. On that day, it seemed to hover in a completely still position and darted off at an extremely high speed. I was intrigued as to what it could be, but it was very far away and pretty much a small, dark spot in the sky. I am certain now that this was this object or something very similar that I observed.
