Old Bridge, NJ
I was outside taking photos because the sky was beautiful that night. I back inside and I swear something telepathically told me to skim through the numerous photos I just took and stop on this one in particular. My eyes immediately went to the bottom right corner and saw this huge ufo. Zooming in on it is crazy. I can’t explain what it is. Then I also took a photo that looks like a strange face, a bright oval light and 1 that is skinny & long. I’ll attach them all

Phoenix, AZ
I was operating a sound system (mics and speakers) for the groundbreaking of a new Valley Metro light rail station at 50th St. and Washington in Phoenix, serving the Ability 360 Center. This location is almost exactly one mile from the eastern end of the north runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, runway 26. The event was taking place on the roof of the three story facility. There is a shade structure running along the north and west portions of the roof. A 20'x20' canopy had been erected to provide shade for the guests. My position was near the northeast corner of the roof where I had a small audio mixing board set up. At that time aircraft were departing Sky Harbor to the east, from the north runway, passing less than a half-mile from my position. The event had begun at 8am with the Phoenix Mayor discussing details of the project. At 8:20am, I noticed an object come into my field of view from the north, just above the Mayor's position at the podium, at a bearing of about 310 degrees. It was elongated in the horizontal direction, reflective or very light in color. I could not judge distance, but felt that it might be about a mile away, based on having witnessed countless aircraft approaching Sky Harbor. I appeared to be similar in size to a small FedEx single engine turboprop aircraft which utilize Sky Harbor. Its altitude was lower than that of an aircraft crossing over, so I immediately assumed it was making an approach, but it should have been much further west if that were the case. I could not detect any vertical structure such as a tail, the reflective brilliance made it difficult to make out details. It continued south for a short distance then suddenly either came to a complete stop or made an immediate “jog” toward the west. At this point the idea of “drone” popped into my mind, but the apparent distance to the object made it questionable if a drone would be that visible. The other reason to reject the drone theory was the proximity to Sky Harbor. The object then continued making a fairly rapid arc toward the southeast, again with an immediate acceleration which seemed very “drone like.” I lost sight of it behind the canopy until it emerged southwest of my position. It appeared to be following the departure path of runway 25, the center runway, toward the east, but more rapidly than a traditional aircraft. I continued to observe it for another 10 seconds until it moved behind a large structure on the roof. I moved to the other side of the structure but I did not see the object again. I could not detect any noise from the object, at least nothing which I could hear above the traffic on Washington Street and the PA system I was operating. The movement was unlike normal aircraft in the sudden acceleration and deceleration. The object's altitude seemed constant. Based on the flight path I observed I would dismiss any thought of it being an actual drone. My immediate reaction was thinking “how bold” to venture into the departure path of Sky Harbor in broad daylight. I have almost 40 years of working in close proximity to Sky Harbor Airport and am very familiar with aircraft and aircraft operations. This object did not operate by normal flight standards.

Annapolis, MD
June 6, 2017. Approximately 10 PM, I noted a broad white flair/streak heading NW over Annapolis, lasting 10 or more seconds. The width was a little smaller than a full moon, and left a white trail that dispersed slowly. It seemed to end about ¾ across the sky. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be unusually sincere and sober-minded. He describes himself as holding a very responsible job in the medical field. PD

So, I was looking at the moon through a telescope and I noticed on the left side of the moon that there was a peak tall enough to be noticed, and in a place where there shouldnt be any peaks. So i called a buddy over and told him that i saw something strange on the moon. He took a pair of binoculars and looked at the moon, and, sure enough, it was there too. So we looked up a map of the moon, and came back 15 minutes or so, and it was gone. Also, earlier in the evening, we had moved the telescope to avoid a tree that was in the way. And after we had looked up the map the tree was mysteriously in the way again, and the pyramid ish like thing was gone. We were the only ones home and there was nobody to move the telescope. Sighting of Jupiter?? PD

Saw a craft flying low while we were driving down the highway. The craft had no lights. We could barely see it. It looked almost like the bottom of a boat. We could make out ridges going horizontally across the craft. We could not hear any noise being made by the craft.

I was driving to work this morning, heading south on 35 W, taking the Hwy. 10 east exit to the Hwy. 96 exit. At the stoplights there, I saw what looked like a typical jet airplane heading over the Hwy. 10 bridge in a northeast direction. Today was a perfectly clear day with no clouds in the vicinity. The craft appeared for maybe 5 seconds and then vanished out of sight. This is the third time that I have seen a cloaking aircraft in the past two years. Because of past sightings, if I see a flash in the sky I pay attention and do not assume it is a 'regular' airplane. Frankly, I think there would be more reports on these sightings, if people only would pay attention. I believe most people are desensitized to air traffic and a prime example of this was about a year ago while at a stoplight on Co. Rd. C and 35 E around 3pm, a black hawk helicopter was so low to the ground that you could feel its breeze. Everyone around me in thier cars just sat there as if it was a normal day in the neighborhood. I am perfectly sane, I might add. We have entered the date of the sighting, assuming that the event occurred on Wednesday, May 31, 2017. PD

Gila Bend, AZ
some time between 9 and 9:40 pm on may 30th on the interstate 8 coming home from California.. I was watching the sky for falling stars and first spotted and watched a sattelite cruising by. Then a flashing light caught my eye, as i watched it i saw others sort of following it, but if so they were in an exact formation of distance from one another. There were 4 at first.. And as i moved further east and away from lights they appeared to have a curvature. As those lights moved north/northwest 2 more flashing lights appeared below and after the first 4 however overlapping below the 4. i watched until lights were too far behind me to see any longer due to headlights in my vision behind us.. The lights were white in color and much larger then stars in the sky they flashed at a set pace and individually. I assume it was some sort of air force manuever, as i have not heard of anyone else seeing these lights at this time. We have changed the time above. PD

We saw these white lights that looked like lightning and we realized that they weren't lightning because they were white orbs that were moving around. They were extremely bright, then for about two minutes they disappeared. They came back, but when they did they appeared as circular and it looked like the size of three horizontal school busses with two blinking lights; one light was blue, the other light was green. The blinking started slow, but gradually got faster. It looked like it took the form of a cloud or it was the shape behind the cloud, but we couldn't tell. I was shocked when I saw this because I have always had an interest in UFO's, but never thought they were actually real until that very night. I would like to know if anyone has seen the same thing on May 25 around 21:00 (9:00pm)

I was watching some clouds when I noticed a bright shining object come down out of a cloud. It traveled down just for a few seconds, turned westward, and flew a ways and disappeared. I tried to get my camera to photograph it, but it was gone. Then another one came down out of the same cloud, and repeated the actions of the first, but instead of going west, this one went east. Another came down and went west. for about ten minutes 6 or 7 of these V-shaped ufos repeated this scenario. I did take pictures of about 5 of them. Two of them seemed to be circular and the others were real bright white, and looked flaming

Weather conditions are cloudless, minimal haze, 5 knot westerly wind. While in between games at my daughter's softball tournament I had a very brief thought of the 12 different anomalous flying objects I witnessed over a nine week period last fall. This thought prompted me to have a glance at the sky. All I saw was blue sky and one jet ascending out of LAX. A moment later I looked up again to the east and saw what at first thought seemed like four helium balloons ascending separately a few hundred feet apart at an estimated 500 feet elevation.three appeared white and one had a dark metallic color. Their trajectories at first were consistent with helium party balloons. After three or four minutes watching the objects had receded from orb shape to point light sources and three of the four collard a convergent path while the fourth remained at a distance. It was at this point that I expected the objects to appear as black dots and plane out with the upper level! winds if they were balloons. Instead they appeared more and more as light sources getting continuously further away. After ten minutes of continuous watching the lights were not discernible.

Was outside in the backyard, and noticed a metallic highly reflective object in the sky to the south of my neighborhood. It really didn't move much, it just hung there in the sky, no sound at all. Through the binoculars I could see it was an irregular shape, but definitely some kind of metal reflective object. We live near a small airport and there were airplanes flying around the area at the same time. They must have seen this thing? I took a video of the object and some photos. After almost an hour in that one spot, it just disappeared. I didn't see it leave, it literally just disappeared before my eyes.

I saw about 4 or 5 fly low and heading to the same location. They looked like some kind of Lego built craft with lots of lights. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

2 red orbs traveling in a straight line. No noise associated with the orbs. Traveling east to west below cloud level and then faded out over the horizon.

I could not get a good photo with my iPhone, but did take a photo of the sky if anyone can clean up the image. In the evening we can see satellites going overhead, but this looked too low. With the amount of airplanes that fly overhead this looked too high. It was hard to judge without another object in the vicinity. My only thought is that it is a balloon, a satellite or something else. I was hoping that someone else may have saw it. Just seemed to float by for roughly 10 minutes. Conditions were sunny, clear skies, light breeze. Just hope that someone else saw it, and can give a good explaination.

We were near 4 peaks and Saguaro Lake. Looking into the cliffs. This appeared and definitely did not move like a plane or heli. We watched for a few minutes and got a pic. When zoomed in, it is an arch shape. Red/orange in color. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was out on my patio, located in the central Everett area, looking up, facing the West. A bright ball of light, with a tail of light, zoomed across the sky until I could no longer see.

We got home around 11:30pm on 5-9-17, and noticed a cluster of it looked almost like stars moving across the sky and then disappeared then noticed that another group came from the direction of the moon near a bright red yellow star and did the same thing, we counted 32 of them that came in clusters and flew across the night sky then disappeared like it never happened.............. what where they?
