March 3, 12:20 AM EST Was outside smoking my last cigarette for the day, when I noticed multiple flare type flashes almost straight up in the sky. I see planes all the time as I am in between two major "flight paths" coming and going out of Atlanta. The altitude of this "flash" was well above that and almost could be considered a star. I am also aware of the regular flashing running lights on aircraft. This was not an aircraft. I am also fairly certain it was not an irridium flare. As this flashing started at a certain point in the sky and was moving very very slowly compare to aircraft. It lasted about five minutes, with flashes about every 10-30 seconds, and did not travel very far in the sky before the flashing stopped. There was no pattern to the flashing other than it was very brilliant and was a slow flash or flare type light. Not the blinking type lights on aircraft. It flashed over ten times in time period I witnessed this event. Distance traveled from start to finish would be the length of your index finger if you held it up to the sky. I am not an astronomer or science guy of any kind, as you can tell. I go outside to smoke to keep from smelling up the house and bother the rest of my family. At night, there is nothing outside to look at but the sky. So, I see planes all the time along with shooting stars and I believe I saw a satellite one time on the horizon. It did not flash and was moving quickly and steadily.

My husband and I were walking into our home and I saw a bright orange object moving very fast across the night sky. I asked him what it was and as we watched we then saw another one that looked identical flying across the sky just as fast. We watched them until they were out of sight. We've never seen anything of that nature

My spouse and I were traveling home, when we looked up and seen an odd object with lights in the sky. The object was not moving. We snapped some pictures and after about 20 minutes it disappeared.

Around 8pm, I went outside to get groceries out of my car and noticed how big the moon was, so I decided to take a picture of it. At that time two of my cats looked up to the sky towards the same direction of the moon and started going that way as if they seen something and were going to attack. As soon as I look to see what they are looking at my back porch light turned off. I noticed blinking red and white lights at the same exact place above the tree line hovering just like 2 nights before when me and my husband thought it was a jet going over our house and stop and hovered there at the same exact spot but the previous night it only hovered for about 5 mins before moving again and going back around the same way it came only not directly over our house. Also, then there seem to be another one on the direct opposite side hovering and when that one started moving the other just kinda disappeared. But last night was different I only seen that one hovering with blinking red and white lights. I watched it for like 5 or 10 minutes outside then I went in and went to my front door to look out and it seemed to go up and then back to the same spot. My husband was on the way home and by time he got there in a 30 minute period it had move a little above where it was and the lights had stopped blinking, it then looked like any other star in the sky, but I know it wasn't just a star. Once my husband got home and I walked outside the back porch light was back on. I'd say it was there for another 10 to 20 minutes when I looked out again it was gone.

Auburn, WA
Observing the sky I noted what I first thought to be a large bird traveling at moderate speed in a westerly direction. As the object was headed west, a commercial aircraft was leaving KSEA (SeaTac) on a southern flight path. I attempted to point out the "bird" to a friend who did not locate it. At that point it was rather small in the sky and was basically a dark object. The sun was low to the SW. I noted a very bright reflection that seemed much large in scale then the sizeof the object. I can completely rule out an aircraft, as the direction of flight would have been an airspace violation. Once I witnessed the unexpected shimmer, I lost sight of it. I estimate that the object traveled from the Auburn valley to I-5 in less than 60 seconds. There was a distinct cloud ceiling, which is was under. Conditions at KSEA are as follows: Conditions at: KSEA (SEATTLE/METRO , WA, US) observed 0153 UTC 25 March 2018 Temperature: 7.2°C (45°F) Winds: from the WSW (250 degrees) at 6 MPH (5 knots; 2.6 m/s) Visibility: 10 or more miles (16+ km) Ceiling: 12000 feet AGL Clouds: few clouds at 3000 feet AGL scattered clouds at 6000 feet AGL broken clouds at 12000 feet AGL broken clouds at 20000 feet AGL The traverse of the sky seemed to match that of a large raptor at approx 1000 feet altitude. The time it took to gain distance, etc. This is what I thought I was seeing, until it brightly reflected the sun for a brief moment. It it were at 5000 feet, it was traveling at approx. 250 knots. At 10,000, triple that. I report this in case others may report a similar or related incident.

Castle Rock, WA
Late on the night of the 14th of March, I heard a helicopter make several passes over my home. Something that's not very common where I live in rural WA. Being a bit of a sky watcher, I go outside each time I hear the helicopter fly overhead. I can't see anything out of the ordinary with the helicopter, and being that it's night I can't see what model of helicopter it is. Just the usual distinctive sound of it's rotors and white and red flashing indicator lights. On the third pass overheard I am able to see that the helicopter seems to be chasing a dim shape. I can't be certain of the exact shape, but it may have been triangular and it was about the same size or maybe a little bigger than the helicopter. The only illumination I can see coming from the object is dim white lights at each end. The lights do not flash like a conventional aircraft's markers, they are constant. The entire time I can hear the constant sound of as single rotor helicopter, but I can not heard anything distinctive from the object it was chasing. One final note; I can't be sure of the altitude of either craft, but given the sound and relative distances I'm think both the helicopter and the object were no more than about 500 feet or so up. Probably closer to 300 to 400. Pretty dang low to the deck, as these things go. I can't gauge speed but not exceptionally fast. 60 MPH perhaps, probably a bit faster.

I look up at a small light moving across the night sky. It looked like a satellite moving across the sky but brighter. It flew above my house. I took a picture. Zoomed in on picture and it those not look like any satellite, ISS or aircraft I have ever seen. It did not have Nav lights and looked like it was orbiting earth. Moved southeast fast.

Binghamton, NY
I am reporting this here as recommended by someone who heard my situation. Woke up around 6am to the dog jumping on my bed and running in a circle before running away, never barking as she would if there was something or someone outside. I tried to go back to sleep but realized there was something lighting up my room. Again, tried to ignore the light thinking it was a neighbor going to work or something, but 20 minutes later I am still trying to get to sleep and the light was so bright I could see it flashing even though my eyes were closed. I got out of bed and crept around the dark room looking outside for signs of someone messing with me, or a car, etc - nothing. My only 2 neighbors at the top of this dead end hill were already gone for work. I realized the light was only on one side of the room, in the window , illuminating it in the same way a lightning bug would, except it illuminated the whole 5 feet of window space/frame. I looked all around inside the room, in the windowsill, and what I could see from the window, nothing but the uphill sight of trees with so much snow I can see anything that moves out there, but saw nothing and heard nothing. At this point I got scared, because I realized the only place it could be coming from that I couldn’t see, was directly underneath the window: a place I couldn’t see unless I went outside and I was too scared. The next day, though, I checked and there were no footsteps or marks in the snow so that wasn’t where the light was coming from. I have blue solar lights out there, but this light was green like christmas light green. The light was on steady for 10 seconds, off for 5, and it lasted so long that after not being able to find the cause I got into bed with a knife and just sat listening for sounds, to get up and react to, nothing but the light, and I fell asleep counting the seconds of the light pulses, strangely seeing it with my eyes closed. I live on the edge of a large uninhabited area that borders a rock quarry. Also close to the borderline between Binghamton, NY, and Conklin, NY, where I see there was a reporting 50+ years ago. A lot of military contract type of businesses (BAE, IBM, Lockheed, etc) so I haven’t thought twice about the military (looking) helicopter I see or hear 2-3 times a week but wouldn’t you know that the day after these lights scared me, Helicopter (or multiple) kept going over this house repeatedly, at least 10 times between 9 am and noon, to the point that I stopped paying attention. Just for the record, the only other strange thing here is once in awhile I hear a helicopter sound like it is right above but then there will be nothing there, absolutely no craft yet the sound as if it is close.

Brighton, MI
I did not see it, only heard it. There was a loud noise which kept getting louder and shaking the whole house. It seemed to be slowly hovering overhead, not passing by, for a couple of minutes. Then it passed and there was a brief hissing sound like after a jet departs, but this could not have been a jet. It must have been flying very low to produce the sound it made. It also did not sound like a helicopter. It sounded like a huge object flying very low to the ground. I did not go look at it, as I was in bed, but I wish I had.

Ashtabula, OH
Short (3.5'-4') grey skin tone, (2) to my right side (I was unable to move my head). At least (1) to my left, as I will explain later. I was laying down in the truck at a Pilot truck stop about 9 miles south of Ashtabula, Ohio. I always cover my windows to keep all lights out and lock all the doors. I had backed in, so the front of my truck was facing the storefront. Typically, I'm out by 11:30 pm, but I kept getting a ringing sound in my right ear and was having trouble with my knee (previous injury, unrelated). The last thing I remember is starting the truck around 12:30 am to let the heat run. Then, it seemed almost instantly I'm floating on to a table. The table felt high up, maybe 5-6'. I couldn't move anything. My head was turned to my right shoulder. It felt locked there. I was overwhelmed with fear and could feel myself attempting to cry out for help. Two very small 3.5-4' grey skinned creatures were to my right that I could see. Everyone describes gray aliens different than these guys looked. Their entire body was stubby their heads were almost too short for their eyes, which were very large like other people describe. It was more over the shape of their face that look different than typical photos you see. Where are the photos you typically see show them elongated in the face, these two look like it was almost smush down and like they were squinting with wrinkles between the eyes. I couldn't speak or cry out, but I started to realize what was going on, so I thought in my head (best way to describe) for them to please help me relax. I understood what was going on but I could not calm down. Once I thought that, I could move my arms. So I reached out towards one with my right arm and it held my hand. I did the same with my left arm and although I couldn't see it something grabbed my left hand. Their hand was very soft warm but cold, and felt kind of like a toddler's hand feels (smooshy). Once I was holding with both my hands I could not stop smiling. I was completely relaxed and all I could feel was happiness. The one holding my hand on the right I believe is the one who was talking to me. It asked if I was sure that I wanted to remember this time, and I told it I was not sure, but I was unsure of why it said this time. It was then that I realized that I've been visited several times, I believe th! e first time was when I was five. I recalled a small devil like creature coming through the wall to my room. I had a bunk bed with no bottom bed, and it just floated straight up to my face. I immediately screamed, my dad came running in and found me in the far corner by my closet door. Being a kid, I told him the devil came for me. Now that I'm older I realize it wasn't a devil it was one of those creatures. The next instance wasn't until I was 9 to 10 years old. As I was going upstairs to bed I stopped at the Landing. Outside of the window there was a saucer-shaped disc silver in color almost Gray with a large orange Dome on top of it. I thought that I had immediately went downstairs to get my dad. But when I went to go get him to tell him what happened he asked what I was doing still up. Apparently I had been upstairs for almost an hour, I thought it was only a matter of seconds. After telling my dad what had happened, he grabbed or old VCR camcorder went upstairs with me, and videotaped this craft which was still hovering outside the window! After about 10 to 15 seconds, it shot off and was gone. My dad went downstairs and called Airborne Express, which is the local DHL type company that was in business at the time. He reported the incident to them as well as Wright-Patt Air Force Base. No one reported seeing it they said that nothing was showing up on radars around that time and that it was probably a coincidence. However the next morning when we woke up nothing was on the tape whatsoever. On top of that we had a large pine tree outside of that window. It was laying on the ground and completely black on one side like it immediately burnt partially and then died. There was no other scaring to the ground anything like that. Enough of that back to the present. So I'm laying on the table and I can feel other hands around me on my legs my arms my ear, and then I feel a hard pressure around my genitals. Like a pump, but with pain like a heat/pain. I'm completely distracted while all this is going on though because the creature to my left is now alone it's just me and him with my view. He's telling me all kinds of things about meeting me in the past, but I can't recall what he was saying. I do recall him saying that I would forget things if I wasn't ready, and unfortunately he had no control over whether or not I would remember. He could only allow me to remember what I wanted to remember. About the time that I really calm down and stop feeling like I was going to have a heart attack, everyone was gone. I woke up in the truck laying on my back on top of my blankets. The truck was still running, but every light on the dash was lit up and alarms were going off on it, so I shut it off thinking it was overheating. I turned it back on a couple seconds later and everything was fine. The whole ordeal did not come to me until after I realize the truck was okay. I immediately started freaking out, and then I heard the same voice again telling me everything was okay remember what I could he would see me soon. I feel like possibly over the years I have developed a friendship possibly with this creature, but I'm not sure of that. Honestly I'm not really sure I even believe myself, however I can tell you that those other two instances definitely did occur when I was younger and I always wanted to know why they happened. I've always had a interest in Aliens, but nothing more than any other young boy does. I've never fantasized about being abducted I've honestly been freaked out about the thought of it, so I don't think that My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me or that I had a dream. Another good note to add is I do not think that these creatures had a gender. The only reason why I say that is the voice in my head that was talking to me did not appear to be male or female. I did wake up with a slight nose-bleed my right nostril, I had a headache and continued to have a headache all day. I had very irregular bowel movements and uncomfortable feeling inside my penis almost like pressure in! ternally. I do not drink alcohol. I do not do drugs. And to the best of my knowledge I have no mental illness from either side of my family that is known. I have never been a sleepwalker, and I don't tend to have very many nightmares. I wish I could remember more of what happened. Although I would definitely be terrified if this occurs again, I hope that I can be more open to it when it does though. I know they will be back because I recall the creature saying it would see me again soon. The beginning of the encounter was very intrusive and it felt embarrassing. They seem to just do what they needed to do, and then they comforted me. I will say that I agree with others about the whole pure love feeling. I definitely felt as though it possibly genuinely cared about me. I'm not entirely sure that it did, but it was a very comforting feeling. One other thing I do recall it asking me was if I remembered them fixing me when I ruined my ability to reproduce. I didn't answer then that I'm aware of but I think I know what they were talking about. When I was on a deployment to Iraq, we would restart the radars standing in range of them. We were warned if we did that we could become sterile. So I used to do it everyday joking that I did not need to have any more kids, as I had already had 3 at the time. I did wake up several nights with nosebleeds in Iraq, but in my opinion I believe at least most of those was due to the desert air. I hope my story has helped and some way shape or form, and I would love anyone can give me any information to hel

I followed the lights which appeared to flash periodically and they were red and green. It was a clear night with no clouds in the sky and almost full moon. At one point the lights turned off, then turned on, then off again,and finally turn back to stay. The lights appeared to eventually lean to the right. The lights traveled from the northeast to the southwest. I had called my wife to tell her what I saw and and our kids looked outside and could see it too, even when I was 25 miles away from home. I drove from Winnebago County to Stephenson County till it was getting late and I was not catching up to it. Witness provides no contact information. PD

First, saw a bright white, stationary light in the sky, after a few seconds it appeared to be heading west at a high rate of speed...we were going 75 MPH in a westward direction. It did not have any flashing lights and was not an airplane. The light was very, very bright and FAST.

Centerville, GA
We were driving by the Centervile city hall and passed two lights next to each other. We assumed it was a cell tower but it started to have more lights and some even on the bottom. The bottom lights lit up the underside of the craft and it started to float away. We drove past the area in the morning, and a cell tower was not there, proving it was not a tower. It was an oval shape, and was gone when we looked back. It hovered for a moment though, but was to big to be a helicopter. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was an evening PM sighting. Sorry about that.

Last night two of my friends wanted to come over to my place to hangout to have a usual guys night. We did what we always do, go out to get something to eat, have a few drinks, and come back to my place to crash. My one friend was having some family issues so he decided to drink a little bit more (a lot more) than usual. He then laid down in my bed when we got back and went into a deep drunken sleep. While my other friend and I decided to stay up play some video games and talk about some things. It was about 4:30 am when heard a very loud BOOM. One that shook the house so hard that woke my very intoxicated friend right out of his deep slumber. He wasn’t all there so he didn’t know what was going on. My other friend and I on the other hand quickly looked out the window to see if there was a transformer that blew or something along those lines . We then heard the fire department sirens from down the road go off. At that point we just assumed it was a blown transformer, but shortly after the first boom about 5 minutes we then heard another big BOOM just as loud if not louder than the first one and then saw multiple lighting bolts shock their way into the sky along with an object that shot up along with it almost as if it were some form of projectile. Curious to see what was happening the three of us drove around by the fire department to see what was going on. A volunteer fire fighter that I went to high school with a couple years back then told me that these loud booms came from the woods up on one of the mountains, and that they went up to see if there was a forest fire. Some of the residents that they talked to said that they also saw the lightning bolts shock their way from towards the ground into the sky. To top this all off the women that owns the antique store said that her dogs were acting strange, barking at nothing moments before the first boom and that her son that lives across the street were doing the same. The fire! fighters also stated that they could find no evidence of a lig! htning s trike no smoke, fire, nothing from where the lightning originated. It makes me wonder where this ETC came from. After processing what happened I think that this UFO broke the sound barrier as it was entering the atmosphere and did the same as it shot up and left the atmosphere. I can’t give a certain description on what this “ufo” looked like because I thought it was a spherical shaped and my friend said it looked like the shape of a cucumber. I’m not sure if its because this object was going fast or if it was because it was the beginning of the morning and was a little dark for us to get a good look. I would like to know more about what happened so if anyone might know feel free to get ahold of me. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and found him to be quite evasive and dismissive about his report. He did not want to speak with a local newspaper journalist. We suspect a hoax.

Bt. roughly 3:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. local. A series of strange events occurred high up in the flightlevels above Southern Arizona. N71PG, a Learjet 36 belonging to Phoenix Air, and American Airlines Flight 1095, an Airbus A321, had independent close encounters with a strange craft flying at around 40,000 feet. The planes were flying east at about 37,000 feet between the Sonoran Desert National Monument and the New Mexico border when the incident took place. 2018-02-24-FAA-Southern Arizona.mp3

I looked up in the sky and saw an air plane in the distance making Kim trails and then the plane cuts left and right in a big bang of smoke it looked like it lost control or something then I see a bright star figure appear but it wasn't a star it was some kind of airraft. Right after it appeared I saw what looked like two NASA space rockets flying away from it, all flying in separate directions. The Kim trails it left turned in to black rain clouds or a fire cloud. They trying to kill us. I swere it looked like an alien star with some kind of invisible coat around it almost like it was under water swimming like a star fish. I felt a presence. Something brushed up against my body I think it saw me, but I got the he'll out of there because I had a bad feeling. I think the government just smuggled an alien entity in California. I know what I saw, I know what an airplane looks like and those we're definitely space rocket ships wtf is going on We are not certain as to whether this is a sincere report. PD

I believe it was between 20:00 and 21:00 on Tuesday, 2-19-18. I was taking the trash out. We are in a densely populated area, so lots of lights. It was a clear night but generally not a lot of stars visible where we are. I was staring up in a southern direction, around the area of Orion’s Belt. I noticed a star to the immediate right of Orion's Belt that was twinkling more than the others. It was white, same as any other star or light you would normally see at night. As I watched, it started to actually flicker like a dying light bulb. Very rapidly and erratically on and off. There didn’t seem to be any sort of pattern to the flickering. This went on for maybe 15 to 20 seconds. There was then a quick brighter burst of white light, then it flickered out completely. Didn’t see it again. About 1 to 2 seconds later, looking to the right of the first light, I saw another small white light flicker on out of nowhere. Wasn’t as bright as the first light and that was followed almost instantly by an orange burst of smaller lights. Very faint but I would say it looked like an explosion. There were multiple, smaller orange lights emanating from the second light. Like something hit it and orange pieces flew off of it. They moved out very quickly in a seashell shape, with the small side coming from the second white light – the orange pieces were moving back towards the spot of the first light. The second flash that was followed by the orange burst was visible for maybe a total of 3-4 seconds? I was looking up in the sky for a few minutes but once I notice the first light flickering, the entire event took 20-30 seconds? I couldn’t tell any shapes other than they looked like any other star in the sky. The first white light was same size, color, shape. The second white light was smaller and fainter as were the orange pieces. Totally guessing on distance here. I’m 6’2”. If I were to hold a ruler up, I’d guess the first light was 5 inches to the right from the Orion’s Belt. The second light was another 4 to 5 inches from the first light.

On 2/18/2018 at 3:25 am in Summerville, Oregon. I was sitting up in bed because, I woke up 15 mins earlier to get some tea, was unable to sleep. Earlier in the evening it was super windy. All the wind stopped and was very still and quiet out. I heard a low humming noise coming from above my house at 3:25 am then the sound got so loud it made my ears ring. My dog which was on the bed next to me, she was looking up towards the ceiling and whimpering. It lasted 10 mins and started to disparate after 5 mins longer. I looked out the window. It was foggy and visibility was poor. I saw a flash of white light. Within a few minutes after this happened I got a migraine headache. On the right side of my stomach, there is a rash with little bumps. I’ve been seeing odd lights in the area in the past 2 months

Brownsville, OR
It was flying low over my house, as I drove down my street. I commented that someone was flying way too low. It appeared large and had a red light. By the time I pulled in my driveway, it went high up in the sky (appearing much smaller) and was flying around like in an arc. Then as we sat in the car and watched it stopped and appeared to just hover in the sky in one spot for awhile. Then it went from red light to a green and white flashing light for a few seconds. Then back to red and still hovering. Then it flew impossibly fast in a kind of little circle. Then it had the different color flashing lights again and hovered. Then it flew really fast down until it was behind the house and I couldn’t track it anymore.
