Niles, IL
I was working at the time of the occurrence, around 4:30am. I was delivering papers when I saw this disk object come my way. My sister and I parked over and got out of the car to take a look. It was about 150 feet above our heads. It was a dark disk, that emitted white, orange and red lights. It traveled very slow, almost as if it was hovering to gaze below. As soon as it crossed a tree and we had no visual anymore, so we moved to try to look at it again find. Literally 5 seconds later, it was gone. Almost as if it vanished. Shortly after, we saw a black helicopter travel the same way. It didn't make any sound as it past us. It only emitted white beams of light. At the time we noticed car alarms were flashing. Almost as if this disk set it off. We never saw them again that night.

Apex, NC
From Greensboro I was driving to Raleigh to meet a friend. It was my first time driving this route. At one point I found myself looking way up above me whilst on a narrow road surrounded by trees on both sides of me. There were these blue lights gliding across the sky. I was unable to stop because there was another car behind me. It appeared that the lights came from a hovering craft that spun - causing the lights to look like they were blinking. It was such a spectacular blue. A glowing blue. Because I could not take my eyes off the road just to completely stare at it.. from a distance when I looked up next it had disappeared curving west and into the lefthand side of the trees.

Mt. Lebanon, PA
Both of my parents, who are Russian immigrants, saw it while they were talking in the backyard. My mother has never seen a UFO in her life. She asked my father what it was. Apparently, he hesitated when he saw it, then proceeded to run back into the house yelling for me. I thought there was a medical emergency because he has never yelled like that before. He ran up the stairs and ran to the room across from mine. We both looked out the eastern window and I was in shock. In the distance was what looked like a rotating disc with lights around the circumference. It was moving fairly quickly, maybe 100 feet per second. The whole object was lit up and was clearly visible since it was the brightest object in the sky. All it did was move south. I live in a suburb and the object appeared to be above the local golf course. From my location, I estimated that it was about half a mile away because the object was briefly obscured by the trees on a hill on the golf course. I can't imagine it being any farther than that because that would mean the object would have to be unimaginably huge. I never believed in any UFO sightings because I always thought people photoshopped images just to gain popularity and scare people. Now, I am really not sure what to think. I am scared. So far, I told some of my closest friends via text message and they insist that it was a drone. I refuse to believe they make drones that big. Now I am pretty sure they all think I am becoming the crazy conspiracy theorist. I don't know who to talk to about this and I am currently trying to explain to my parents that society generally looks down upon people who claim to have seen UFOs.

The sighting happened on 7/22/2014, ((sic. 07/23/2014)) at around 1:30 am. I walked out a bar and to a car. When I sat in the car, I noticed something was gliding in the air. I assumed it was a plane, so I didn't stare at it too long. About 5 or 10 minutes went by, and then I saw my friends coming out from the bar and in front of the car I was in. I looked up, and the craft was still up in the air, just sitting there. It wasn't moving at all, and at that moment I realized what its shape was and how close it was. No noises came from it, even though it was fairly large. I got out of the car, and walked to where my friends were. I still didn't hear anything. It was flashing these bright lights, mostly red. It was in a big long strip around the hemisphere of the craft, and it seemed like it was a lot of smaller lights making it look like a red strip. Inside the red strip were little bright red dots, so I assume that means those were individual lights. Sometimes it flashed green on one side, and sometimes blue on the other side. The red was almost always on. I think i might have seen another color, but all I can remember is red, green, and blue. The craft flashed the lights in weird patterns, sometimes it was just still, sometimes the lights flashed. It was dark out, so they were very bright and intense. It was hard to see what color the craft was, because of the light, but I think it was metallic. I know for sure it was shaped like a UFO. It was a flying saucer, more round than flat. We were quite close to this craft too, close enough to get a good look at it. My friends and I watched this craft move and glide around in the air, taking sharp turns in weird directions. It would stop, then lower itself straight down in a perfect fast motion, then stop. Then it would rise up, perfectly straight, and stop mid-air. It went even higher and higher, in the same vertical way, and then it stopped and lowered itself again. Then it would start flying around back and forth, like it was watching something. It did this for q! uite a w hile, moving around then going up and down fast then slow. I felt like I could see something around it, but I'm not sure what that was. I might have been seeing something as a result of those lights, but it seemed like the craft was inside of something else. When the craft left, it just lowered itself down below the treeline, and never came back up. I waited in the car for about 25 minutes, but it did not come back.

I was in a car with my sister, because I was picking her up from night school, and all of the sudden my sister looked up into the sky. She grabbed my shoulder, and I slammed on the brakes, then looked up, and I saw it. It looked like a disc with some weird red light on the bottom, I was so stunned that I didn't try to get my phone for a couple seconds, and when I looked back up from getting it, the disc just flashed and I saw a beam. I woke up two hours later. My sister had a mark on her neck, like a drill went in or something, and my phone was broken, like a charge sparked through it. I will be sending some pictures of the mark, in a day or so. I'm really scared, every car-light I see freaks me out now.

Baton Rouge, LA
On the night of July 22, 2014, I was returning home from my night class from my local university which is only about 3 miles from my house. I was backing my pickup truck up the drive way and while backing up, I could hear a helicopter get louder as if it was approaching my house. I parked the truck and glanced at the clock on the dash noticed it was 9:20 pm. I stepped out of the pickup and turned to see why the helicopter was so close or low flying. It was coming from the northwest proceeding to the southeast. To my astonishment, two large pewter gray colored craft where flying in front of the helicopter in a tight formation, one staggered to the left rear of the front pewter craft. These objects were approximately 60 to 70 feet across in diameter, about 10 to 12 foot thick in the centers, the outer edges of the craft were similar to the edge of a coin like a nickel, smooth with no markings. I would estimate the sides would be about 2 to 3 foot on the vertical measurement. The craft made no noise whatsoever, had no markings, no windows of any type, no lights. The two craft were in very tight formation. The helicopter was all black, had no markings on the fuselage but was an Apache Helicopter. This I know for sure, being that I am a USAF veteran and have worked on a flight line with military aircraft in my past. The helicopter was about 200 yards behind the two craft, following the two objects but not trying to gain speed or overtake the objects, almost as it was tagging the objects. The two objects remained very close to one another, about 20 to 30 yards apart, one behind the other. The formation including the helicopter flew about 200 feet off the ground, very close to the tree line, the two disk flew in a straight line and maintained the tight formation. The entire clear viewing window that I had was about 20 seconds, before the formation flew behind the tree line that is behind my house. I had a clear view of the objects from the start to finish. The light in the sky was good being that it was in the city and over a strongly lit neighborhood. I was about 130 yards away from the flight path of the formation. Right before the helicopter went behind the tree line my wife was coming out of the house and commented to me, “What in the world is all the noise from?" Before I could answer her, the helicopter along with the craft went behind the tree line behind the house and proceeded in a direction that took the formation away from us. The best description I can give of the craft was that if you were to hold a 3 inch sugar cookie at arm’s length at about 30 degrees up and tilt it slightly that would give a good reference to the size and how I was able to see the bottom and shape, I was able to observe the craft for the full period of viewing, the disk shaped craft made no noise, very smooth, no lights, no markings, no appendages, just very smooth, pewter gray in color. I came in and made a detailed drawing of the craft and event to make sure I remembered every detail. Being ex-military and having worked with aircraft, I know what I saw was a real event. ((2ND REPORT FROM WIFE)) Mr, Davenport, Here is a written report by me of the event on the 22nd. that occurred with my husband and the objects and the helicopter. Secondary witness to the event in Baton Rouge Louisiana; July 22, 2014. My husband who attends night classes at a local college called to let me know he was on his way home when he left his school. He does this so I can put the dogs up in the house and open the gate in the driveway so he can back in with his pickup truck. It only takes about 5 to 10 minutes for the drive home from the school. After I had gone outside and opened the gate, I went back inside the house to wait for my husband to drive in. It was just a few minutes, maybe 5 minutes or so, when I started to hear a noise outside. The noise continued to increase to the point that it was loud and had me concerned. I knew it was the sound of a helicopter and I thought it must be flying very low over the house so I went out to see why the noise had gotten so loud. By this point it sounded like it was right over the back of the yard at our house and I was very concerned of what was going on. I went out the back door and started walking out under our carport to investigate the noise. I saw my husband had already backed up the driveway in his truck and was standing by the driver side rear wheels staring over the back of the property pointing and saying something out loud to me. I could not hear what he was saying because of the noise of the helicopter. I walked rather quickly out from under the carport to see what he was pointing at and I saw a black helicopter go behind the tree line very close to the top of the trees behind our house. My husband seemed to be in shock at what he saw and kept asking me if I saw the other objects. I did not, being that I was walking from the backdoor through the carport which is covered and it took a bit to walk from the back door out into our driveway where I could get a good view. I did manage to see the helicopter. My husband came inside with me visibly upset by something he had seen and began explaining it to me and drawing down his sighting. I know my husband well enough to know that if he saw something like this he would not say so without it being a real event. This is what I witnessed that night. If you any questions my cell number is 225-((number deleted)) Thank you ((name deleted)) Baton Rouge, La. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we were impressed with how eloquent and seemingly serious-minded he is. PD

Rock Island, OK
While working, I was driving from Poteau Ok. To Ft Smith Ark on hwy 110. Just as I was coming up to the rock island and 110 junction I happened to glance up and to my left, NW,. After looking back at the road in front of me I realized I saw something out of place . I turned to look up at it again not recognizing what I had seen and the object took off to the East and was immediately out of sight. It was a single craft, bronze to brown in color, not a flat disk but disk shaped. A guess would be it was about a 60 to a 100 ft diameter, and 30 feet bottom to top, also a guess. As the crow flies I was probably a mile away from the craft. There were no lights and no kind of trail when it left. The location would be 1 mile west of hwy 110 hovering over backbone mountain. I recently saw a pic of the same craft while reading the news on my phone, which is why I’m now reporting it.

South River, NJ
Driving home at a high point in town, Hillside Avenue, and saw an aircraft flying several yards over a 2 story house on the right side of the road. I saw it fly very slowly from my right, cross over the road, and fly to the left and onward, in the direction of East toward downtown and Sayreville. It was smoothly flying no more than 25 MPH very low to the ground. I saw a slight shadow of the outline of the aircraft and it appeared to be disk shaped with red, white, and blue (do not remember the order of the colors) lights stacked on top of each other at each end of the aircraft that did NOT blink at all, unlike every other aircraft I have seen in the sky. It was definitely not a plane nor helicopter. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before.

In the background and unseen at the time, were three(3)objects that when zoomed in are unexplainable. We suspect that the three small lights in the photo probably are reflections of cabin lights in an overhead console. PD

Butler, WI
Me and my girlfriend wrestling a cigarette outside and since we don't smoke around our son we were making funny faces to our son through the screen door when he pointed up and said "look airplane!" I didn't hear anything so I quickly looked up and told him there wasn't one when my girlfriend said look!. There was an Orange ball flying due easy towards Lake Michigan. It was around a mile up and flew at half the speed of an airplane. It was shaped like a ball but looked like it had some kind of disc shape to it. The weird thing is it didn't make any noise and got brighter as it went further away. We have video evidence.

Santa Ana, CA
Dawn had been breaking and I had been looking over to the horizon only to notice an aircraft roaming around. I believed that it was a mere helicopter in patrol but it begun to elevate and move towards our general direction. The Lights emitted were Red and Blue, which did not flash simultaneously in accordance to the common pattern regular to military/Police patrol aircrafts. The red lights flashed three times and then the blue light in the center flashes along with it. Then it changed to multiple red flashes and some minimal blue flashing. I called my neighbor over to look and we immediately pause. The Aircraft flew above us. My neighbor and I were perplexed because it was above us and it became clear to us what it is. I would say it was a couple hundred feet or less, but then the most astonishing event occurs. The lights emitted from the aircraft revealed its definite shape, which appeared to look like a saucer with an extruded block in the center of it. The sides of the saucer had strips of red lights. Three of them exactly in both sides with one blue strip of light mixed with white in the center of the extruded block. The sound of the turbulence had affected the neighborhood dogs which caused them to bark loudly. As it sped to the other end of the street it made a sharp turn back and I immediately grabbed my ladder and I recorded the aircraft returning. From the distance the sound of the turbulence had been very loud for the distance. Luckily I managed to record enough to approve of sighting. My witness is my neighbor and he had been surprised as well, unfortunately the focus on my camera had been lacking, explaining the difficulty in keeping range and quality. I apologize if the video had been shaking around, I was nervous about the situation and I was not sure how to adapt to it. I then called the hotline and I had been advised to write a report as shown, and to attach a video along with it.

There were 6 equally spaced lights flashing in sequence in the southern sky. At a glance they appeared to be stars until further examination showed them to be flashing in sequence and in a straight line. They covered an area (depending on their distance away) of 2 miles to 50 mi. We heard no sound and then they moved slowly from east to west. We observed this for about ten minutes. I questioned others who live south of us and no one had heard any helicopters or anything else around this time.

Little Falls, MN
Was watching a jet fly at a high altitude talking about how the jet stream drops giving the appearance that the jet is gaining altitude. Blue sky with a few clouds. Many feet below the jet moving the opposite direction a disc shaped object appeared traveling what looked to be faster than the jet. Appeared for about 5 to 10 sec then dissapeared. Not behind a cloud or anything. Afterward,s not really believing what we saw, we watched the jet making the observation that we could clearly see the body and wings of the plane at such a high altitude, but this object had no wings just round disc shaped. The sun did reflect off the disc if that is worth mentioning. Wish I would have taken a pic but was a little shocked.

I was driving with my wife on bandera rd when she pointed out something in the sky. I looked up to see a black disk shaped object with black mist all around it. I saw a window with what seemed to be multiple figures in the window. As soon as I saw that the disk shot up within less than a second and was gone. My wife said she saw the disk at first slowing descending. It seems as if they were observing us, and when I made eye contact it left.

My son witnessed a saucer shaped object flying in the sky in a horizontal line, somewhat slowly at first, then quickly speeding off and disappearing. It appeared to be high in the sky, but large, and clearly a saucer shaped craft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Midvale, UT
Approx Around 13:45 to 14:09 mountain time, I was washing my son in bath, I had stood up to get bath soap from the window and just happened to look out the window. I noticed a chem trail being sprayed by plane and noticed below the trail shiny things in the air. So the plane had traveled and they were slowly following the path of the chem trail, but they would almost stop and fly around and around then move towards the plane or almost trying to catch up to it but taking their time. I know they were NOT birds because when they would change direction and altitude the different angles would hit the sun, causing them to reflect light or what light you'd expect from the sun, like a mirror. So they seemed to be metal..actual material unknown. I had gotten excited so I ran downstairs and pointed it to my wife, 4 confirmed if she can or did see them and she said yes, I do see them. There were about 9-16 or so, definitely more then ten (10), they all would fly around in circles following the east/southward path. They were hard to follow when going from upstairs to downstairs and back up again since that far away they'd blend in with the sky. I don't know exact altitude I'd guess 2 or 3 k feet up…

What I seen look to be a round disc like object that was a glowing bright light. It hovered in the same area for maybe 30 seconds to a minute then came down in a circle and back into the clouds and disappeared in a high rate of speed as it went back up.

Easley, SC
Hello, I caught two UFO's on the video that I attached. The UFO's were recorded flying overhead in Easley. They are obviously no known bird or bug species, they made no sound, and made no vibration to the camera as they flew over. The recorded video is originally around 24 minutes, but I shortened it down because these were the only UFO's that I saw in the video. I would appreciate any feedback or information on what these objects are. Thank you for your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJLjDjQEFHA I have numerous other video's of ufo's recorded in Simpsonville S.C. I have screencasted some of them in order to point out the ufo's on video. I captured a Cigar shaped ufo for over 8 minutes with smaller ufo's surrounding it. http://youtu.be/9MZ2Hx2crzo Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you.

So, my cousin and I were playing xbox, and all of the sudden when I looked out the window at the top of the stairs. Then, I saw a disk shaped thing with four lights in a square shape , and one light in the middle of the square. All of the lights were a an orange color. There was also a glow around the object. Just a second later it disappeared faster than anything I have ever seen. Right after that my cousin's dog started barking.
