The UFO's reported on the 29th were an exercise that was conducted by Navy Pilots for practicing nighttime ocean recovery. They were in fact Flares. Please check with Navy Region Southwest to verify. The reports were also carried on KOGO AM 600. these are conducted regularly at various intervals.

I was outside, and happened to look up, and saw a strange object in the sky almost directly above my house. I stared at it for about 5 minutes, and nothing on it moved, it looked very artificial. Having never seen anything like this before, and given how slowly up it was moving. There was a small Cessna style aircraft flying by, at what appeared to be the same altitude (very hard to tell) if I had to guess the aircraft was probably 500-1000 AGL. I went inside and grabbed a camera with a 200mm lens. Went back out after about 3 minutes inside getting the camera and lens. Snapped a couple photos, but it was either so small or so high in the sky 200mm wasn't enough. I then went back in got a 2x converter, so we're at 400mm on a crop sensor, so 600mm effective focal length at 24MP. I took about 10 photos at ISO 4000 with a wide open f5.6 aperture. It continued rising, and kind of rotating around and banking in a couple of the photos you will receive. There was no audible noise coming from it, no lights. I lost sight of it as it continued to get dark, and there were also some clouds in the sky.

Taking soo many images meant it took me a year to go through them unfortunately, however one stood out from the rest. What I originally thought was dust or water on my lens looked more like a round saucer shaped craft following or being followed by a dark triangular craft. I took several frames in that location and they only showed up in 1 image. A friend I was with at the time had also lived there in his youth and shrugged it off citing the numerous accounts of seeing things in the mountains.

There was not enough time for my wife to turn around before it disappeared into the woods. Very unusual.

As we have to chalk this up as just another story or witnessed event. It's a nice event to have experienced. As you will see in the boxes below there will be no check marks as to indications for characteristics of the sighting. It did not produce lights, it did not produce sound. Not like other sightings or experiences I've had previously. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Edgewood, NM
I noticed a crescent shaped light at first west of Edgewood NM, then it slowly dissipated. 2 minutes later I saw another light slowly light up in the same crescent shape full bright then slowly dissipate, this time it looked as if there was steam smoke eliminating from it. this happened 4 more times, with the last in the smiths parking lot, I immediately notified 3 people walking in and I told them to look and they saw the same thing, I proceeded towards Albuquerque to see if I can see it closer and it never happened again

Skopje, Butel Municipality, Macedonia
It was August 13 2018, around 2:30 AM. Me and my daughter were watching meteor shower in our backyard. After a while we saw a strange boomerang shaped object and since it was high above the ground, we assumed that it was very big. It had seven big white lights on it. The object was grey. It moved from west to east and it moved very fast and in a straight line. My daughter drew it digitally on a tablet (upclose, when we saw it it was as high as a commercial plane).

Rocklin, CA
The sun had already set and the sky was turning dark above as the horizon still had some orange and peach tones fading away. I was walking on the bike path behind the Rocklin softball fields towards the westside of the park and returning home from my routine evening walks, when I saw a commercial airline far off into the distance and flying weat toward SMF Intl airport. I looked directly in front of me and saw three black V-shaped aircraft fly over the Arroyo Grande Condos across the street. It was apparent that they looked small like oversized black birds in the distance but as I was close enough to see the third object fly behind the second that had flown in a half circle into the distance, it had an open V shape to it and it made no noice nor did it have any obvious lights. It was a completely dark V shaped flying object. This is what alarmed me because it was so quiet and made no sound and flew so close to the condos above. In fact, I questioned myself a! s to whether the craft were oversized birds or even mini drones but these flew steady, relatively fast and far into the sky. There was no one visible outside by the park on Sunday evening except over by the swings. The third similar object had no wings nor even a cockpit of any kind. It was flying about 5-6000 ft above the ground and at about 1000 ft distance between each other when I first noticed them, until the first aircraft flew off extremely fast and ahead of the others. I could still see it if I looked for it far into the clouds. The third tailed the second as if it was the wingman following it in succession. I did not understand how these crafts could fly so low to the ground and yet fly so high in a matter of seconds without an emmission of fuel left behind them like with a plane. They were solid, dark black aircraft, but because the sun had gone down, you could not tell if they were metallic but only that the third one had a V shape opening to it. They followed e! ach other like a team of aircraft flying together in unison. Just as I approached the Condo's across the street from the pathway and within about 5 quick mintues, they had all three disappeared. I could not see them anymore anywhere. I did not have my cell phone with me nor was I able to take any pictures of my sighting but I wanted to share the event because it happened immediately over my Condo unit where I reside and flew directly Northwest into the distance over Highway 65. What struck me the most about this brief sighting was that I had a feeling that I needed to walk back home on the pathway instead of all the way around the north side of the park. I had a feeling that if I didnt turn around, I would be missing out on something, and there it was. I was fixated on the first object and then within seconds, a second appeared out of nowhere, then came the third. It was too obvious to me that these V like aircraft were not supposed to be in the sky and so close to home but I am glad I paid attention to my intuition and got a glimpse at some! thing so tangible and real that it spoke volumes that we are not alone at any given time.

Checking email before heading to bed after a fun night of video games. Did not feel stressed, overly tired, or creeped out at all - just ready to go to sleep. I heard heavy breathing behind me at my office door - not human. I assumed that it was my dog. She is usually locked up in a room during the night, but the room can be easily opened from the outside by pushing on the door, and my cat sometimes lets the dog out. I turned around, ready to talk to my dog, and saw a non-human face (grey, elongated features, can't remember the eyes). It was so alarming that I jumped out of my chair and grabbed an object. When I turned back to the door, it was gone. I have tried telling myself that it wasn't real, and I have refused to tell anyone for fear of being ostracized. No noticeable signs of a craft (audible or visual). Strange and quickly disappearing scratch marks the next morning (scratches were white in a red blotchy area rather than red).

LaPorte, IN
Woke up abruptly at 2:10 am, was burning hot so I decided to go outside to see the meteor shower. I shut off all outside lights and reclined on my zero gravity chair in the front yard. Immediately saw what was either a rod, cigar or rectangle ufo with extremely bright lights on both end appear over me. It moved to southeast and then the lights dimmed down and then went out. I saw the other normal ufos in the next 45 minutes that burst a light and fly like they are zig zag floating in many different directions but the one I am reporting was not a usual sight. There are always craft here. The frogs, crickets, crows, etc. Were completely silent. That is also bizarre. Usually the ones that burst light make the dogs on the block bark and that is how I know to check the skies. We are in a very rural area where people have horses, barn animals, etc.

Looked like a falling star then got larger, brighter appeared to be orange sparks behind it sort of like a bottle rocket but by now about the size of what I would imagine a small aircraft in a Terminal predicament would look like. A blue hue appeared behind it around the orange and a whistle sound could now be heard. The blue diminished and the orange sparks started to lessen. Front point had turned into what appeared to be a growing glowing white round light which at first was a small circle of light but dark in the center and progressed into being all white light as the Sparks continue to diminish. By now the whistle turned into a hum that sounded similar to a small aircraft not in distress. When the orange sparks disappeared the hum continued and all that was left was a blueish or green light and a small gold/white/gold/white light and only for a moment a red light. From there it proceeded out of sight, trees were blocking my view, looking and sounding like a small aircraft but moving much faster than any plane that I've ever known of and the hum diminished respectively with the sight of it. It first appeared moving South and barely East from my location as it appeared to drop down and made almost a 90 degrees curve to head East but a little North. About 1/8 of the way towards North from due East.I don't know latitudes and longitudes. It did only travel in two straight very distinctive lines. The turn was maneuvered at the point where the orange sparks were brightest and largest immeditely after the turn is when the blue hue appeared and sparks right after that started to diminish and as the sparks start to diminish is when the whistle turn into a hum. After the Sparks diminished that's when it turned into the bluish light the flashing light which went dark and the red light which only blinked once left only a bluish-green light. White circle appeared just barely before the blue hue was completely gone, the white circle was! gone when the lights started appearing in the other colors at! the fro nt point. The colored lights were in the form of a small triangle with unequal sides when the red light blinked but the white and gold appeared in different relations to the bluish green light. I heard the whistle for about one-and-a-half seconds and about 75% of that time was before the curve and about 25% after. The curve was made instantly. Same amount of time it would take a second hand on a clock to go to the next second after it started to move but before it hit the next second, that's how long it took the curve to be accomplished. If a possible altitude is necessary I can only guess and that would be it appeared from nowhere to begin to fall from the sky and after the curve would be below the average cloud level. It occurred during a clear night, no clouds and could see stars. Please reply to this message? I know I can't leave personal info in a message, but I would like to know what that was or at least that someone has looked into it. And especially for any questions ! or comments that you might have. Thank you.

Helena, MT
Appeared to be saucer shaped and possibly a tripod with some sort of disguise to be be sitting stationary like a street lamp. Distance was approx 350 yards from where I was parked at my friend's house. He seen it when it looked like a light pole but not the flight. Happened to fast to get a picture. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Cottonwood Lakes, High Sierras, CA
I was sleeping under the stars in my sleeping bag in a high lakes area in Golden Trout Wilderness just below Mt. Langley near one of the Cottonwood Lakes (maybe 3 or 4). There were 14 of us in our party, part of a boy scout backpack trek. I was the furthest out, about 50 to 75 feet away from the 2 nearest me in their tents. We were camping at about 11,000 ft elevation. This was just before the Perseid Meteor Shower and I was having trouble sleeping, going in and out for a couple of hours from 10:30 PM to 12:30 P.M. I was looking at the night sky and did see several shooting stars during this time. I noticed a couple of strange things. One, I could hear a sound in the woods that appeared to be coming from an electrical appliance. I knew it wasn't natural. It was low and very subtle but it was there. I also noticed at some point, don't remember if before or after the incident what appeared to be a star go dark before my eyes. It was there, then the star was gone. The light of the star disappeared before my eyes as I was looking at it. I just thought to myself what the heck was that. Some time after 12:30PM, I will guess about 1:00 or so this is what happened. I was so rattled by the event that I didn't even look at my smartphone to see what time it was. I heard what I can only describe as a very high pitched electrical humming sound. It started to grow in intensity, so much so that I thought my eardrums were going to rupture. I didn't experience any pain, but the sound was intense. As I opened my eyes, there was a wave of pinkish, orange, purple light all around me. I was surrounded by granite boulders and foxtail pine trees, but I thought the whole night sky was dancing around me in these wave-like color tones. I was scared, because I knew this was not natural. In my head I said to God, "Dear Lord, please help me." And then everything went back to normal in an instant. I don't think this lasted more than 10 seconds or so. In the morning, I shared my experience with the adults in the group. None of them heard or saw anything. They thought is was bizarre. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Have pictures. To naked eye looks like a campfire with different colors. Intensity of light brighter than stars-- more like LED lights. Actual photo looks like a disk. Enlarged looks like a tall box partially opened. No obvious movement.
