La Porte, IN
I was out bird watching for Cardinals and airplanes are a common occurrence including being nearby our local airport. Since no Cardinals have been coming around for a while and taking pictures of them are challenging at best, I looked up to see what kind of airplane was passing by. I noticed a plane going by and listening to the roar of its engine. I also noticed a very slow moving object that had to be 100 above treetop level. I had a very good look at this object which appeared to be oval shaped, white on the bottom and mid-tone to dark gray on the top. The object also appeared to "tilt" like a plane would as it turns but then the object tilted back to its original position. I immediately got my camera out which I always carry with me and took 2 pictures of this thing. I then switched over to video and took 1:10 video of it. At the end I tried zooming in and also tried getting on the other side of the tree to recapture the object but I was not fast enough. I reviewed the video later and found out it is out of focus after zooming in. The pictures I took are crisp and clear. In the video and pictures you can clearly see airplanes near the object but also not aware of it being near them.

Beaverton, OR
Walking up Sexton Mountain in my neighborhood also known by that name. Came upon what appeared to be a object that was dark gray and was shaped like some. Thought it was a drone. A fellow walker from the neighborhood observed this with me. She thought it was a drone but after we looked for awhile decided it was not because we did not see the other parts on it that resemble a helicopter look to it. It hovered and she said when I kept looking at it it moved away and then back to me. This walker I did not know. She had come up from behind me and asked what I was looking at. I was amazed she was even there because no one is ever on this path up because you have to be in shape. We stared and talked and she said since we spotted it it was moving away. When I first saw it alone I waved to it and it hovered close but it saw her before I did and it backed up in the sky. We left the hill and she and I agreed it was a drone. I've looked on Google all day and this evening and do not see what I saw today. Totally weird. I am an avid fan of aircraft and was once a flight attendant and I can usually make out these things but not this. I totally am stumped. My husband told me to tell this to Mr. Peter Davenport. I hope he gets my email. Kindest regards We have amended the date above to reflect a sighting in 2014. PD

Holden, MA
It was 10:45 pm on August 16, 2014 - a quite Saturday night. I had just let my dog in from going to do her business in the back yard. It was a mostly overcast and cool night outside. I was still outside and was enjoying a cigar.. I was standing on my back deck which faces eastward. It was dark outside and very quite. A bright golden or deep yellow oval shape light went overhead traveling eastward (I know it is east because the sun rises from this same vantage point in the mornings into my kitchen).... I don't know how high the light was because of the spotty cloud cover but it was traveling slowly - maybe 20mph - 30mph ?...but made no sound and I mean NO SOUND at all.....I was thinking what the hell was that when the 2nd one went overhead in the exact path as the first....and perhaps 10 sec later a 3rd in the same line.....by now I was a little scared and was waiting to see if a forth light came but none did.... The oval lights (all three of them) were the size of a basket ball but without know how high up they were it doesn't really help I know. I have never seen anything like this and was a little shaken by the sighting. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rehoboth Beach, DE
A large military helicopter traveled up and down the beach, right before the crafts were spotted. Two orange spheres were flying together, then disappeared over the ocean traveling silently and faster than an airplane or helicopter could ever fly. Moments later a third craft appeared, and it too disappeared over the ocean. All of them were brightly glowing orange crafts, that moved silently.

Swan Quarters, NC
While standing on deck of beach front house with brother-in-law, saw an oval shaped object with red light come from the south going north. Noted no sound coming from object. Inquired to brother-in-law if it was some type of helicopter at which time he stated no. Called husband to deck when object was approximately 300 feet away. It was approximately 300 feet off of ocean and flew parallel to the shore for approximately 500 feet then abruptly made a right angle turn to the east and flew at rapid speed up and out of sight.

Uniontown, OH
About two minutes later I saw one more on the same path, and it also dimmed and disappeared! There was no sound. I estimate 20 objects seen total. They were bright orange like fire balls. I know others must have seen. I'm sure more reports are going to be coming in.

Clackamas (south of), OR
With using binoculars, we noticed they were blue and red and not moving. While focusing on one of the objects little fast moving lights would appear. It seemed to have multiple crafts if they were even crafts.

Fort Frances (Canada), ON · Canada
The unidentified object was an oval shape like many typical "UFO's" . It was across the street behind some other houses and it went across the sky lower than a plane would be and slowly stopped and hovered by some trees it then moved a bit and disappeared behind the trees it was by. The object had flashing lights that were red white and yellow. It hovered for about a few seconds then disappeared behind the trees. Also my neighbours dog was out and was barking crazy at the object in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Ketchikan, AK
About 5:30 pm on August 7, when we looked out across the water from my house we saw approximate one mile away a very bright solid object in the sky. Perhaps it was bright as the sun could have been reflecting off what appeared to be a very shiny metallic surface. Oval in shape. It appeared to be very slowly moving away from our direction. Only observed it for a minute or so before it just suddenly disappeared as though it went into the clouds, yet the clouds were to far away for that to be the case. It was silent. Never seen anything like that, it was definitely a solid unusual object in the sky with a brilliance like never seen before. Neither of us have ever seen an UFO before, I personally feel this was a UFO

It was oval bright with red lights all around far distance vainish within seconds I still can't believe it at first I thought it was a plane or a helicopter or a shooting star it was to bright for a plane or a helicopter and it could not been a shooting star because shooting stars have a line this one was bright and oval and it vanish right when I was staring at it was like not even 25-30 seconds but it was amazing .

Denver, CO
On Saturday, August 2, 2014 at approximately 2245 mountain time, I was standing on the sidewalk in Northwest Denver, in the vicinity of 38th Avenue and Yates Street when I saw two bright orange objects traveling northeasterly in the dark night sky. They were well above tree line and houses, and were coming from the southwest traveling in a perfectly straight line at a stable elevation, coming from the Sheridan Avenue area in the Edgewater vicinity. Two of us saw them. They were traveling quietly and perfectly synchronized together. After between 30 and 60 seconds both bright orange glowing orbs kind of flashed brighter one time, then immediately disappeared, both at exactly the same time. They did not appear to drop in elevation at all, they just disappeared. They disappeared when they were probably over Yates and 41st Avenue area or a little farther northeast. I would guess the two orbs, or what ever they were, were traveling about as high as a helicopter flies around Denver, maybe a little lower. Very bright orange, almost red glowing, appearing to be round / oval in shape. Pretty good size; smaller than the body of a helicopter but maybe about six or seven feet in diameter, about the size of a hot tub. It was hard to really ascertain the size or the distance they were from us in the dark night sky and with the bright orange glow they emitted. The Denver skies were partly cloudy, but the area these were in was in a completely clear sky. They were moving at a good clip, completely quiet though and perfectly synchronized together. They were probably visible by us for a total of 30 to 60 seconds. Two of them, perfectly spaced apart and traveling side by side, but not connected to each other. We have both seen Chinese type lanterns in the night sky, but these were NOT lanterns. These were two bright orange objects, separated by space but traveling perfectly together. They appeared together and disappeared at exactly the same time.

Glen Ellyn, IL
6 bright lighted objects flying low and over DuPage County yesterday evening. Not proper lighting to be a plane and too low, no sound to be a helicopter and we thought it could be the personal hobby droids that can be purchased but too high for that. Baffled. Lights flickered and were blue, red and green. They would slowly paced and would circulate for a few minutes and then disappear. Nothing more, nothing less. Just curious if anyone else saw this as can't find anything else about it.

Salina, UT
My roommate was walking outside at about 10:35PM, when suddenly she saw, going from West to East, what at first she thought might be a meteor, then thought it might be a plane crashing. She soon realized that it was neither because it quickly went back and forth, up and down, and at one point straight up. After watching it for about 5 minutes, she told me to come outside and look up in the sky, and I saw it too. The object appeared to be sort of a diamond-oval shape, low in the night sky. The lights, which were larger than plane lights, didn't flash-the object appeared to be rotating its red, green and white colors. Sometimes it moved very fast and it was also stationary once. It darted about only about 1/4 to 1/2 mile away from us and I believe it went as high as at least 1000 ft. I watched it for about two minutes, when it suddenly went in a downward direction and we didn't see it again.

UFO Sighting 2014 Summer I was sitting outside on my deck at approximately 10:00 pm I saw what I thought was a helicopter out of the corner of my eye in between two tall cedar trees close to the house. Then it registered in my brain that there was no noise. I looked again and it was a humungous object (about the size of at least 2 houses) with light and it was moving very slowly and there with no noise! I realized that I was looking up into the bottom of the UFO. I ran into the house to get my husband to look and he just looked at me as if I was crazy. I went outside again and it was still there. Within a minute, it just swooped up and away in seconds and very quietly. Since that night, every so often I see a thin, totally white, stream of light coming in my kitchen window and it hits my fridge. I get an eerie feeling from it and feel fearful of it. Its happened about 5 times now and always between the hours of 4:15 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. The first couple of times it happened there was a loud bang on the side of the house and heavy footsteps. The outside security light does not come on either like it should. Have you ever heard of this before? I am a normal person and certainly not crazy. I would not have written but for my sister trying and trying to get me to report it since then. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Bloomington, IN
It was around sunset on a partly cloudy evening. I was driving south on highway 37 approaching the W. Third Street exit, when I noticed a very bright metallic object hovering just below a large cloud. I noticed the object because it was shining so brightly yet the sun was not shining in that direction. I didn't see lights on the object either. At first I thought it might be some type of aircraft, but that just didn't seem possible with the hovering. Before I could point out the object to person riding with me, the object moved straight up into the large cloud and disappeared.

Mt. Shasta, CA
2:30 pm. 7/28/14. I just witnessed an object in the sky in Mt. Shasta, CA. The location was at Lake Siskiyou camp resort. I witnessed the object from the beach looking out the window of my cooking truck. The object looked like a piece of mercury or metal drop in the sky. The object was reflective but it wasn’t from lights coming from the object. It looked like it was reflecting the sun. The object looked out of place which caught my eye. I stared at the object for about 15 seconds. It didn’t move like an aero plane or helicopter. It moved like a mouse on a computer screen but in a perfect straight line. I was losing sight of the object from the window, where I'm at the sky is wide open. At is a partly cloudy day, but there were no clouds in the path of the object. I ran outside to try and track the object. When I ran around the corner to look in the direction of Mt. Shasta where it looked like the path in the sky that the object was traveling it was gone. At the speed that the object was traveling I still should have been able to see it in the sky if it was a plane or helicopter. It was just gone. The object made no noise. It just looked out of place like it wasn’t flying in the sky but almost like it was a fly on a TV screen, part of the view you’re looking at but not in the screen? I looked around at all of the people on the beach, but it didn’t look like anyone was looking up at the sky. This is my 4th object I’ve seen in this area that I would say is a UFO. First one I’ve seen in the day.

Tonight I saw something that I cannot explain. I was pulling up to a stoplight and the light was turning red. If I wasn't looking up at the traffic light I would have missed this. It was lit up and moving low and fast. Maybe 200-300 ft up (or less) and at a slight angle downward. I thought it was a helicopter at first, but by the time my brain told me so this thing was gone out of sight. I thought I might have imagined it until I got the the stop light line and another car with two people inside it were rolling down their window, pale and looking a bit freaked out, asking "did you SEE that?".

Oceanside, CA
On 7-26-14, my son and I were coming home from an outing. It was around 10:00 PM. As we were coming down our road we noticed in the sky 4 orange colored floating orbs grouped in twos. They were fairly close to each other. They looked as though they were barely moving. They were not at all like airplanes. There were no flashing lights. It was almost as if they were drifting very slowly in the sky. Within a few minutes we noticed two more of them come up on the right side like they were trying to catch up. After they were all together they started to fade out one by one until they all disappeared. These orbs were seen out above the ocean near Oceanside. I would say the sky was somewhat cloudy but the orbs were very visible . It was something we had never seen before so we had to pull off to the side of the road so we could take it all in. We wondered if anyone else had witnessed this as well. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
