Richland, WA
Was woken up by my dogs barking and then heard the jets. Did not go outside to look. Not sure if it was some sort of military training or we were under attack and the jets were chasing something?

I kept my eye on the object for close to 10 seconds. The sky was fairly clear in all directions and in the very far distance I could see airplanes flying the normal flight routes, very faint but visible airplanes. After the ten second constant watch, the object vanished from sight. I said to my wife, "What the hell was that?' I explained what I saw, we pulled over to the west of A1A so I could attempt to locate what I thought was an airplane and track the aircraft with my eye. With a very clear 180 degree view of the western sky, I could not see nor could my wife see any aircraft heading west, north, east or south. I was stationary at this location for 10 minutes looking for any signs of a possible aircraft. Once again, the sky was very clear and cloud coverage was minimal. This very bright silver object vanished from sight. Nothing came through the three small grey clouds and I never saw it again

Driving home, I saw 2 large orange balls in the sky. At first I thought something was on fire. I tried to take a picture when it was obvious it wasn't a plane. Didn't get a very good picture. When I got home, my boyfriend and I went in the backyard looking for the lights and after a few minutes we saw one. There was no sound and it seemed to be flying straight.

Quartzsite, AZ
As we drove, I was talking about how beautiful and bright the sun was. My "Samsung Galaxy 6" cell phone has always taken amazing pictures of the sky, ie: Moon, Sunrise, Sundown, etc. I remember looking at the sky admiring the beautful sky and fluffy white and VERY BRIGHT white clouds. I told my friend that I was going to take some pictures of the sky but could not look at it directly if I took them because the sun was extremely bright. I turned towards her as she drove and shot about 10 blind photos never looking as I clicked my phone. It was not until later that evening here at my parents in Sun City, California, that I reflected back on some of the pictures I had taken during my stay in Arizona. As I was looking at the pictures of the sky and noticed a little glowing ball. I zoomed in and noticed some beams coming down. In another photo the clouds moved and I could see more clear that it had a green and blue color around it that changed its shape from a circle to a more oval! or saucer shape. I am not sure what it is but to me it almost looks like I caught on my phone another world, universe or even another dimension. I am not sending theses in for any recognition, I am honestly just curious as to what it could be... even if it's a unique picture of the moon. During the time that elapsed I was not able to send any text messages for about an hour. My cell phone did not work to send some other pictures I had taken to a friend. I would like to add the images attached are my original pictures. They have not been photo chopped or filtered for a more vivid appearance. I did zoom in on two pictures for a clearer consensus for myself personally. Thank you for your time. Most of the photos indicate small, round, green "spheres." They are lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at the Sun. PD

Concord, NH
Three lights were sighted. Two small, one large. All three forming a triangle shape. Suddenly the bigger light slowly moved towards the other two (that were still). After a few seconds, they all stood there, and proceeded to dissipate into the foggy sky. Meanwhile at another location, relatives to the witnesses have experienced unusual occurrences while walking their pets. The same didn't feel comfortable outside. Two dogs that are usually very excited to go out. They happened to be outside at the same time of the event (coincidentally).

Cedar Falls, IA
What appeared to be the brightness star on the northern side of my location started to shift south at a steady speed. It was a solid white color, no more distinctions could be made. The further it moved, the less light it gave off. Within 250 yards of its starting point, it couldn't be seen. 23 minutes later, it was seen again going north, 75 yards West of where it was seen last. It shone yellow very brightly as a flash, then disappeared. Conventional and iridium satellites have been ruled out.

UFO SIGHTING on July 14, 2016 – DESCRIPTION: This is the full description of the event I personally witnessed. The event took place on the night of Thursday – July 14, 2016. The start time was about 2145 hours Eastern Daylight Time. My iPhone 6s recorded my first photo being taken at 09:48:09 PM-EDT. The events duration was about 15 minute--until about 2200 hours EDT. My location was in Warwick Township, Lancaster County, PA. My observation coordinates again per my iPhone were as follows: 40 degrees 7’ 56” North - by - 76 degrees 19’ 4” West - & - Elevation 390’. I was facing West at about 305 degrees from true North. The object appeared to be located at a very high altitude. It also appeared to be at a considerable distance from my location. Only 2 mall white dots seen – suddenly a red laser type beam went from near the 2 lights towards the northeast then laser went off and white lights were again all that remained – so then they moved east passing way overhead very slowly – with no noise! It passed behind building & went out of sight.

Was laying by the river in the tree line and noticed a green light that was flashing a brighter green rhythmically. It hovered completely stationary in the sky for approx. 2 minutes then suddenly bolted to the right at an extremely high rate of speed. There was no sound.

Sudden Appearance of Stripes on the Moon On July 10, 2016 at 9:11 pm, I was taking pictures of the moon through my 6-inch Dobsonian telescope (Orion Skyquest). I was using the afocal method, putting an Olympus SZ16 camera up to the eyepiece to photograph what I saw. I was not using my moon filter to dim the brightness of the moon. (I used it later in the evening, but not at that point.) I took a series of nine photographs of the moon at that point. I had taken an earlier series before photographing stars and planets, and a later series after photographing more stars and planets. During this particular series, the striped moon appeared as number #6 of 9 photos at 21:11 and 42 seconds. As I was setting up photo #6 in the series, I had the moon in my sights which I checked by eye. Then I put the camera up against the eyepiece and adjusted it until the moon appeared fully on the LED screen. I had my finger on the shutter button, when suddenly the top of the moon darkened as I watched. Two dark spots appeared at the top of the moon, and then streaked at high speed from the top of the moon to the bottom of the moon, not quite the diameter because it was off center. It left two shadowy stripes that appeared in less than a second. My finger was on the shutter button, I barely hesitated for a fraction of a second, and then I thought, “Branches.” And then I took the picture. I then looked up at the sky. The moon was high above the horizon in a clear field of vision. The trees in my backyard and neighboring yards were to the far left and right. There were no branches obscuring the moon. I would know. I have taken many artistic pictures of the moon behind branches. The view was clear. It occurred to me that a couple of my long, dark hairs floated through the open aperture of the telescope, which is like a cannon barrel, and landed on the mirror. That would have been a problem for me with subsequent photos. The best way to test the situation was to take another picture. Less than two mintues later, at 21:13, I took another picture of the moon. It was clear. When you compare the two pictures, you see that the striped moon has a dark area at the top, as if a cloud settled over it. The stripes have a peculiar jagged aspect, almost like a zipper or a series of stitches. The diameter of the moon is 2158 miles. The stripes sped across the moon off center. My guess is that the stripes covered about 1500 miles in barely a second. Travelling at 1500 miles per second comes out to about 90,000 miles per hour. I showed the photo to my husband, who has a PhD in statistics and is very analytical. He said, “It's branches.” When I discounted that theory, he said, “Two hairs in the aperture.” I told him the hairs quickly disappeared, and hairs do not start at the top and zip across at high speed. Then he said, half joking, “It's two spaceships flying at astronomical speed in formation.” I decided to report it. I am enclosing photo #6 in the series, the striped moon, and photo #7, which is the picture that was taken two minutes later. A Dobsonian refractor always shows a mirrored image, so the only post-processing I did was to flip the image so that the moon appears with the lit side on the right, which is how it actually looked in the sky. I know there is probably a logical explanation, but I can't think of one.

Los Banos, CA
Greetings, I am writing this statement on an incident that occurred on 10 Jul 2016, at approximately 6:00pm. This is not a hoax, I am not looking for publicity or any such attention. I am not sure is what I saw was a legitimate sighting and I am more looking more for answers to help me understand if what I saw was an actual alien being. So, my friend, her son, and I drove from San Diego to San Francisco for leisure on Friday to Sunday. On our way back, we were driving on the I-5 Fwy Southbound, towards San Diego. We were approximately 10 mins south of Los Banos. The scenery outside was barren, no buildings, structures or people, just dry grassy hills and dirt roads on the sides of the freeway. I was actually trying to get some rest when my friend the driver said, “What is that?” and pointed to the right side of the road. I immediately looked over and saw a tall figure about 6 feet tall in a thick black monk/death looking robe with a big hood. Now this was very unusual to me since it was about 90 degrees outside and in the middle of nowhere. Why would somebody be walking around dressed in a thick black hooded robe in this heat. So as we passed it, I had to get a good look at this person's face, so when I looked at it, it looked back at me. And what I saw chilled me to the bone. In this dark heavy hooded robe was a being that looked nothing human. It had brownish green scales with a short snout and its eyes were large and blackish that glistened in the sun. It was unmistakable even at about 100 feet away and it looked right at me with no expression. It wasn’t carrying anything or had any equipment with it and it was walking slow and awkward as if it were looking for something. I was scared to death, especially when it looked right at me, I thought maybe we should pull over and confront this thing, but honestly I was frozen and we kept driving. I had asked my friend if she had seen what I had seen and her 12 year old son in the back of the car and they verified the same thing. Again, I just am looking to see if what I saw could be a reptilian and if that is what other people report seeing. I really wish I would have pulled over and went back to get some evidence or a picture, but after reading some articles on reptilians, I feel I made a wise choice. I read that there may be entrances to their habitats in rural areas that may be unseen or hidden from humans. That may indicate that there may be a entrance by Los Banos off the I-5 fwy going south. I am not sure if other vehicles traveling down the road with us witnessed this sighting but it did happen and I am willing to swear an oath on it. I also had unusual experiences that happened when I was a child that I believe was contact with Grey Aliens which is foggy, but I have some clear recollection and memories of some incidences where I may have been abducted and my mother can vouch for that and has some insight on that. But that is another subject. This is the first time I have seen a being like this. Again, I am reporting this to hopefully gain some help to determine if what I saw yesterday could have been the real deal. And I respectfully ask for discreetness in this matter. Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me. (( We spoke via telephone with the witness on two occasions, and we were impressed by his eloquence and apparent sincerity. We suspect that he is a very good witness, and highly reliable. We have invited his friend and her son to submit additional reports, and we have invited the source of this report to submit an illustration of what the face looked like. He reports that the creature had a prominent snout, like that of a dog, and that it had scales on its skin. The witness states that he was formerly a member of the U. S. military. PD))

Bowie, MD
Woke up to see a bright yellow light coming through my bedroom window. It remained still for a few moments. I thought it was a helicopter search light but it was so close to the window I would have heard the chopper blades. And the light was too powerful for a drone.

Scarborough (Canada), ON · Canada
On July 8, 2016, I was on afternoon break in Scarborough, Ontario. There were some co-workers also outside chatting and joined the group After about five minutes while chatting with one co-worker Later the other two co-workers went back inside Looked north of our position about a mile away - just a little east Noticed a low dark roundish object flashing a bright white light moving couple of hundred feet high at 3:14 pm It was moving low coming in from the east heading west at maintaining about the same altitude less than two hundred feet Speed a guess would about ten- twenty MPH It's movements appeared strange as well a bright white flashing light 's intensity I alerted my friend and we both instantly ran through the parking lot north at about seventy yards and stopped and looked up towards it It was now straight in front of us to the north The object was near stationary about less than one mile away I then started to film it while it was stationary Also strange had to point the object to the co-worker who took near a full minute to finally see it ! He stood beside and now could see it near stationary Now it started to rise vertical then stop and hang stationary flashing this bright white light It just continued to climb straight up higher and higher With it's altitude is now at least one thousand feet . Then we now had another co-worker join in witness this strange dark flashing round object - two witnesses He came up behind us and said ' look a flying donut ' ! About every minute now passing by It just continued to climb higher and higher would stop at intervals again remain stationary flashing for about thirty seconds or more ? Being so high without the flashing you would NOT be able to see it at that point The object continued climbed so high We could all no longer see it - gone ! I have attached seven of the best - zoomed in pictures before it rose thousands of feet in about one minute As well a short video clip that captures this unknown The sighting ended at 3:27 pm by the last picture time stamp taken Sighting lasted approximately 13 minutes

Alameda, CA
I was sleeping and I woke up at the exact moment I saw green lightning (or a green flash) coming from the bay window over my head. I was startled because I had seen this same EXACT thing last year. It was green flashing or lightning. I waited for maybe 10 seconds... wide away at this point and saw it again, clear as day... bright green flashing, with a hot white center. It seemed to be right over Alameda...or even my house. I have waited a day for any news of power outages (down transformers that could've blown... no storms at all though). I have tried to find news of meteor showers in the area, and no info is available. It's just an eerie mystery and it has me perplexed. Also, it was silent..... both times (and my window is open for a breeze) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Palermo, ME
I turned left onto RT 3 from Turner Ridge Rd. and saw some lights up in the sky to my left which I first thought were stars. But as I began to drive, I saw that some of the “stars” were moving in a group away from the other stars. There were four white, bright lights arranged in a diamond pattern. There was also a fifth light flashing regularly that was within the diamond pattern, but forward of the center, towards the light at the tip that was in the lead. I could not make out any structure that the lights were attached to. The lights were above the tree line and moved from left to right across the road, about 200-300 feet up, as best I could tell. There was no sound. I pulled the car to the side of the road and opened the window for a better view. The lights moved steadily, did not speed up, and went out of view after crossing the road. It lasted for about one minute. Weather was calm, with a few clouds.

Detour Village, MI
This sighting was during the fireworks for Detour Village and Drummond Island. Lights were over Lake Huron almost to the Detour Passage. If I had to guess the craft/lights were at about five thousand foot. When there was movement the lights would change from one green one red and gone clear/white to all green or all red and being multiple of the same color. Seemed it was investigating the fireworks. No noise was heard either. Witness, who elects to remain totally anonymous, provides no information. PD

Bellevue, WA
Three objects observed during community fireworks display at downtown park with about 20,000 people in attendance. The fireworks display was towards the North of park, looking over to the East I seen a pair of green blinking lights just at edge of cloud ceiling (appeared to be hiding within clouds) was moving toward park. At first I though it was small plane, but then it stopped and was in a stationary position for about 2-minutes after which it flashed a row of red and then a row of yellow lights, alternating quickly back and forth between the two colors for a couple of seconds before returning to two blinking green lights. Then the object started moving slowly towards the South, and a second later it started traveling at the speed of a military jet, then slowed down to a stop just above the horizon from my point of view. I then seen another pair of similar green lights flashing just inside the clouds above the crowd that was watching the fireworks, most! people seemed to be paying attention to the fireworks and might not have noticed the objects, or if they did they may have thought they were planes. The second object was stationed over the park in the clouds, the first object then came back towards the fireworks area and became stationary within the clouds, then a third object with a pair of solid red lights at of front with flashing green lights at rear appeared just south of the park and was stationary just below cloud level through out the fireworks display. It was interesting to see all three objects floating in the sky as if enjoying the fireworks. The two object closest to the fireworks display would move slowly then stop and move again from one side of the display to the other etc. The third object to the south remained in a stationary position throughout. The objects seem to be communicating by flashing their lights, the blinking lights were not constant, but seemed Morse code like. After the fireworks displ! ay, one object moved out towards the East and out of sight, an! d one mo ved out of sight toward the south then returned and appeared near another fireworks display five miles away wrapping up over Seattle where it stopped and sat for a minute, then quickly flashed alternating rows of red and yellow lights then resumed to flashing green lights and took off to the south at military jet speed. I do not know when the object with the solid pair of red lights left after the fireworks display were over because I wasn't paying attention to it at the time. There were no helicopter, jet or plane sounds during the event. I ruled out local drones because of the altitude and speed of the objects. They flew faster then a helicopter and local plane, traveling my guess would be, about a mile a second.

We were in the backyard after sunset but before it was dark. Watching the neighborhoods' mortar display. Saw the object travelling from north to south over the backyards of the houses on S Acacia. It was travelling in a very straight line at a slowish speed, maybe 30mph. It made no sound at all. It was only maybe 200 feet up, probably less. At first I thought some sort of lantern. It had an orangish light within it. The shape and build was indiscernible. It was most definitely not bright. It was not very big, maybe the size of a medium to large cooler. We watched it continue in that very straight line south until we could not see it against the sky any longer. Definitely can't explain what it was. If it was a drone I would expect some noise.

State College, PA
During 4th of July Fireworks, a light approached the fireworks from the west. It was raining lightly at the time and the clouds were low. At first I thought it was a plane coming in to land at the State College Airport. When the light reached a point about 1/4 mile north of the fireworks (I can only guess the altitude - probably about 1500 feet) the light stopped in the sky and stayed fixed for a few minutes. I looked down for a couple seconds and when I looked back up it was gone. The light was bright enough that it obscured the shape of the craft. There were no blinking lights as you would expect from an airplane or helicopter. My position was about 1/3 mile east of the hovering position. When it was approaching, it was heading directly towards me.

Colorado Springs, CO
Starting at roughly 21:12, July 4, 2016, I (and others near me, as we were gathered watching a fireworks show) witnessed what seemed to be an oblong craft silently drifting through the clouds above the park that the public and I were in. It appeared fairly large and at high elevation, as it could be seen fairly well from within the clouds. For minutes at a time, the craft emitted repetitive green flashes from its underbelly. On rare occasion, it emitted much more rapid white flashes for significantly shorter periods. The craft seemed to have a stainless steel-like metallic sheen. It darted across the sky rapidly and silently. The maneuvers the craft performed were erratic and unpredictable, yet it hovered primarily above the aforementioned park and almost seemed to watch the fireworks (or the people’s reaction to which). It then disappeared and did not show up again.
