Hendersonville, NC
At approximately 4:30 am, on July 6, 2017, in the North East sky Mr. ((name deleted)) has seen a bright light. It is at approximately 15-20 degrees, he lives on a mountain. The light lasts for about one hour and appears to be hovering. The weather has been cloudy and clear. He could not see the moon or venus. Beneath the cloud cover there is a bright light. Through binoculars it was actually 3 separate objects. About one week ago he saw the same object. It had smaller lights in an oval pattern beneath it. During the second observation, he saw what appeared to be identical light about 10 miles SE. Before he could photograph it, the second light vanished. He has been able to see the lights multiple nights over the last 10 days. Possible sighting of Venus?? We believe that the report may have been submitted on behalf of the witness by another party. The witness is described as being a highly trained professional. PD

Versailles, KY
Noticed an bright, constant, orange light. Moving at a consistent speed a few thousand feet up going North to South. Maybe 150-200 mph. Light was the same brightness throughout. Straight flight path, very low with no sound at all. Novice opinion: too fast to be a lantern, flew too many miles to be a consumer drone. Will watch again tonight.

Davie, FL
Our dogs were uncomfortable and excited while we were sleeping. I woke up because of the barking. When I head the back yard I heard a noise like an aircraft engine that increased like acceleration and simultaneously saw a brite white light moving in the back of the building. The engine noise got louder and all of a sudden it stops! My daughter could see the light coming thru her bedroom illuminating the whole room in an angle of less than 45 degrees. The light and the noise were moving in direction WEST-EAST. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Columbus, OH
Possible abduction? Hard to say.. But here is an account of the incident. I fell asleep on my couch in Columbus, OH at around 1:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on 7-8-17. Then I woke up on my back, inside of what I equated to being an enclosed tanning bed-like apparatus. It felt as if I was traveling at a high rate of speed and the ride was very turbulent. I began to look around and one of the things I remember seeing is a worn down "yellow labeling" on the inside of whatever the hell I was enclosed in. The next thing I know, at least my head was no longer enclosed as I saw an alien take an object and touched my forehead with it and I was "out cold". I woke back up on couch in the exact same position I fell asleep on with my CPAP on just as it was prior to this "possible abduction". I had no fear, not sure why.. In the ensuing minutes after waking up I tried to make sense of what had happened. There was no missing time, I was back up within a half hour. Had a sick like feeling in my stomach, open waking up and its been on and off all day. Description of the alien I saw: Structurally, it was similar to many of the common air craft aliens we see in our American pop culture documentaries (Short around 3 feet, thin body, big dark eyes, funny shaped head) accept this one had rather dark scaly skin, not true gray. One the the things that stood out was the wide of its arm and forearm, it was the equivalent of a broomstick width the arm was the same width as the forearm. I was unconscious seconds after he put the object between my eyebrows and forehead. Other information about me which you may or may not find relevant. Since the age of 8 years old I have been an experiencer of sleep paralysis -entity attacks, but even before this the paranormal world seemed to antagonize me at a really young age. I can remember some things just before the age of two. I've had thousands of negative nocturnal (non physical) attacks by paranormal entities, like smacking, prodding, choking and senses manipulation (I've also had a few positive ones like when I was tapped on the shoulder after falling asleep while feeding my infant son a bottle which caused the nipple to go adrift from his mouth. Lately, I'd say within the last year, I've seen very bright lights in my dreams on more than one occasion. I have been "spiritually probed" several times, mostly in the back of my head - cerebellum, but also in the navel and unfortunately my fudge tunnel a time or two. I'm not psychotic or mental, I've never done drugs, and rarely consume alcohol.

Fort Wayne, IN
On July 5, 2017, at approx 11:15 PM, in a northeastern suburb of the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana, there was a very large, bright, orange light moving in an arc in the night sky from the southeast to west. The object was visible for about 2 minutes. The object was at least cloud level or above, as it either became slowly obscured by clouds or gradually diminished. The speed during the observation was roughly that of a typical traffic helicopter, but the object was not a helicopter. It made absolutely no sound. For comparison, moments afterwards, an airplane was observed moving in a southwesterly direction. It was at a much higher altitude, loud, and easily identifiable through the spotty breaks in the cloud cover. The observers were a middle-aged husband and wife. The husband is an Army veteran (84C) and autoworker. The wife did not have her glasses.

I noticed a solid white light, with a flashing red light, traveling up Long Island Sound. It then spun in place, traveled back towards NYC. It once again stopped - spun around in place and came back. It went into a small cloud and never reappeared.

Greencastle, PA
Then a very bright light blink green, then red, and cycled back and forth between these two colors for approx 15 seconds, then stopped, then went to a white flashing and departed in an eastern direction at what appeared to be a very fast speed. What struck me as being odd was that it was partially cloudy but the red/green flashing light was extremely bright, and with a much increased size compared to the flashing moving white lights.

Chestertown, MD
July 2nd, at approximately 11:20pm- Chester River. I was on my boyfriend's sister's boat, we were towing my boyfriend's boat behind us, my friend was present, my boyfriends sister and her son were on her boat, my boyfriend was behind us on his boat. Her navigational lights were out, so she had her son shining a mag light in front of us. The sky was fairly clear but there were some clouds ahead of us. We were all vigilantly looking in front and around us, but almost back to the dock, I was looking up at the clouds, and then I saw two bright white circular forward facing lights sort of emerge out of the cloud, like it had been inside the cloud then turned on the lights as it rose above the cloud. The lights didn't light up any part of the plane or really anything in front of it, the were just bright circles that were far apart, almost like they were on the wings, but didn't see any wings. We all saw it, my boyfriend's sister at first said maybe it was a coast guard helicopter because of how it rose straight up, but then it started moving forward slowly over us. I almost thought it was a drone because it was totally silent, it was super eerie, we all were going what the hell is that, then she told her son not to shine the light at the plane, which kind of freaked me out. As it moved very slowly over us we were sort of able to see how low and big it was, I could make out what looked like a flat grey shape, but couldn't really tell what shape it was, I want to say triangular, but it was like the lights were so bright it seemed weird not to be able to see more of the plane. The plane was maybe 300-500 feet in the air and was big, definitely not a drone. It flew silently over us, I looked back at the boat we were towing behind us and my boyfriend was also looking straight up at it. I was telling my two siblings about it the next day and they freaked out, they both said "oh my god, that's that boat we saw," apparently they had seen what they thought was a boat with two bright white circular wide set "headlights" probably 30 minutes before our sighting traveling very quickly over the water at my parents house, which is approximately 8-9 miles as the crow flies. They said they saw the lights moving over the water but didn't see a wake. The way it moved really was weird, I'm sure it was probably some surveillance stealth plane.... we didn't see anyone else out on the water from the time my boyfriend's boat died right at dusk until we were off the water at 11:20ish.

Delaware Township, NJ
This was not a citing, but rather very sudden and very loud noise in sky - huge! It did not trail off into the distance as a jet would; it just stopped. It was so loud and frightening and sounded jetlike, but we did not see anything above us. It happened twice within 10 minutes. I posted it on Facebook to see if anyone else had heard it since I was on a walk with my dog in a remote area. Several people did hear it and someone in Pennsylvania heard something just like it at 6 a.m. today.

Gardendale, AL
Noticed what appeared to be a paper lantern on the horizon south of Gardendale, AL. It had a bright center with a red/orange glow. The object moved across the sky south to north, silently at about the same speed as the ISS. It began to fade then went dark about 40° above the north east horizon.

West Columbia, SC
(Report amended to correct date) At 21:09 ET, on Tuesday, 6-27-2017, I walked out of my garage and something in the sky immediately caught my attention. After observing the object for only about 10 seconds, I realized I was looking at something very unusual. I ran back to the door so I could call out for my girlfriend to bring her tablet to video the “UFO.” I ran back to the garage opening to see it again for a few seconds before I thought to reach for my camera already in the garage and nearby. By the time I grabbed the camera the object was gone. I was the only witness that I know of at this time. My girlfriend ran out just after it disappeared. We stood there observing the sky for some time, but did not see anything else unusual. My home is located about one mile north of Columbia Metropolitan Airport near Columbia, SC. The object was nearly due north of my location (approx. 350 degrees) and fairly low on the horizon (approx 15-20 degrees). The object appeared to be at a great distance, at least a few miles away, but distance, size and altitude were hard to gauge without any point of reference. The object appeared to emanate a greenish white light or glow. The sun had set just a while before and could have been illuminating the object. The object or craft made very erratic high speed maneuvers unlike anything I have witnessed before. The shape was indistinguishable due to what was perceived to be a great distance to the object. There were no clouds in the immediate area of the object. As a knowledgeable military aviation enthusiast, I feel very certain what I witnessed cannot be explained as an aircraft, balloon, kite, meteor, bird or anything else known to myself.

Colorado Springs, CO
I was driving and I caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of my eye and I pulled my car over to the side of the road and it all happened so quickly and only in a matter of seconds but there was a bright green light in the sky I can't describe the shape the lights were in but it was just high up on the sky and in the middle of the sky and when I blinked the lights were completely gone.

Lisbon, NY
We got our binoculars out and still could not make shape. Appeared stationary, then made fast horizontal movement and disappeared. I have reported from this area before of amber lights at night. Same craft but daytime??? By the way this is in the Norway-Nelson Road area. Approx 1 mi. south of the St. Lawrence River.

Grand Rapids, MI
Did not see anything but heard a super creepy mechanic noise/echo for about 30 seconds, before it faded away. We have the windows open, could hear the noise over the TV. We turned off the TV and listened to it before it faded away. Did NOT sound like a plane or helicopter. Very slow motion mechanic sound.

Pasco, WA
Out of the two videos I shot, you can see this satellite looking object zig zag through the sky turning a bright blue color over and over. I was not able to tell the shape of the object by sight or in my god awful video I took of it. I saw a bright white star looking object, looked like a satellite in the sky but much brighter. This object appears, moves horizontally at about the speed of a small aircraft, then went vertical at a rapid speed. This object then continued to move horizontally back and forth occasionally moving higher in the sky and seeming to turn a blue color as it changed it's direction instantly. I tried to drive in the direction I saw it after I lost sight of it, but I couldn't find an answer to what it was. I talked to a couple different police officers on duty near the airport, I called air traffic control and I am waiting for a call back. Today was my second sighting of this object flying through the early morning sky, same location and about the same time. The first time I saw this object was 06/19/17 in the North Eastern sky while observing Venus between 3am and 4am PST. I tried to wake my wife up that night to show her, and of course it was gone by the time she came out. I went out and bought a Nikon p900 to get some close up shots of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn this week. Early this morning I went around the same time as I did on the 19th in search of this object, and there it was. I ran inside grabbed my camera that I don't have a clue how to operate and shot this footage. I did a terrible job shooting the footage, but hopefully it's enough to show what I was looking at.

Broken Arrow, OK
I was standing in the side door of the garage, and my friend was it the overhead door working under the hood of his vehicle. I stood at the side door, and as I looked around I noticed a strange figure. There wasn't much light so I couldn't quite make out what it was. I had a small flashlight in my hand, which wasn't very bright. I could just see a silhouette ,which to me appeared to be a small body with a tail I would describe to be like a dragons. It was standing on a pallet that was leaning against the shed. It appeared to be maybe 1 1/2 to 2 ft. tall. I was 15 ft. away, and decided I wasn't going to walk away wondering what I had seen. I walked slowly toward the silhouette, and although still not completely visible I couldn't believe what I was seeing. At this point my heart started being even faster and then almost as if as soon as I take one more step and two feet away I was face to face with a creature that has a gray face , a tail with ridges and huge black oval eyes standing on this pallet and it didn't move it just stood there and stared back. I was frozen with my flashlight in its face and too scared to turn around so I backed up very slow all the way to the door never taking my eyes off of it. I turned around and call my friend's name in a very low voice, but when I looked back towards the shed it was gone without a sound. I have no doubt about what I saw because I was Within one or two feet away from it with a flashlight shining directly on it. I've only told three people about the incident but I definitely think about it everyday. I don't think I had a reason to be scared now. I just don't know why it allowed me to see it. Im not comfortable telling this either, but I always see the the huge black eyes when it think about it, and will never forget the skin texture of the face and how it didn't move at all.

Out of no where what I thought was a plane coming in suddenly appeared. As I continued to view the unidentified object for the next few seconds, it came to a sudden halt. Meaning the object just STOPPED and seemed to rest at a 35 degree angle, meaning the lights were in a straight line at around 35 degrees. I knew at that time it wasn't a plane. I immediately yelled to my wife to come and look. She came outside and saw exactly what I saw. The 2 colors (green and red) were very bright. I then told her to get my phone and of course by the time she got back and I turned it on and started recording, it was gone but that isn't the end of what I witnessed. A couple of caveats to point out. 1. This object "just appeared." My chair where I was sitting just happened to be pointing in that direction, so I was basically looking at the area in the sky and it just appeared where as if it where a plane, it would have been seen coming from the left. 2. When the object disappeared, it didn't just disappeard, it was moving father and father away and then we could no longer see the lights. 3. No noise. No sound 4. The object was up in the sky quite a bit. About 15 minutes later, an actual plane was taking off, and was about 70% lower than the object, really just right above the horizon. About 30 minutes later directly overhead we seen what seemed to be the same object except for this time it was extremely high in the sky but you could still faintly see the green and red lights. It was so high that you know it couldn't be any sort of tower. What is odd that a star was sitting right to the left of this object and you could see them both fairly well although the star was much brighter. Cloud cover came in and I could no longer see the object but it was just sitting there for about 20 minutes. I have no idea if this was the same object or a different object. I will be on the lookout this evening. This was our experience. This is what we saw and I'm just glad I had a witness. My gut tells me that this is our own craft because when it first de-materialized or appeared it would've been in the air space here.
