Crash Landing UAP nearly hits Columbia river before flashing and disappearing

I was driving west bound on I84 around 4:30am, by this time it was already pretty light outside.

Suddenly and centered in my line of vision was what appeared to be a comet or aircraft rushing directly towards the Columbia river about to crash. It was not glowing as if on fire from breaking through the atmosphere or smoking as if a small aircraft was malfunctioning. It was as if a contrail was heading straight for land with no aircraft leading the way.

I began to panic because this falling object was moving very fast and close enough to affect me if causing an aftershock upon arrival. When suddenly the contrail cleared, there was a UAP heading straight for the river. The aircraft looked like a combination of a small military jet and an arrowhead spear, without any divots or bulges. The oddest part about its appearance was that it was glowing bright green and purple in its entirety.

As it rapidly approached the river (maybe about 40ft above water) the UAP flashed and disappeared with a short and quiet boom.

The unit appeared out of nowhere in the middle of my windshield and then disappeared in a flash before hitting the water. This all happened within about 30 seconds.

Noticed an Orange orb traveling from East to west in a part of this sky that I normally don't see aircraft in at this time of night. I checked ADS-B and there were no aircraft in that part of the sky. The Orb faded and went dark like some one flipped a light switch.

Orb UFOs disguised like distant stars

I was out with my dogs at around the time filled in this form, watching the stars fill the sky over time. As I was looking, two orbs just showed up out of nowhere, one had two lights on it, one in the front and back, unblinking with the front at a slightly brighter intensity, one orb tailed it at a similar speed. after about a few minutes they were joined a distance away by three that entered a triangular formation with fair distance from the others, triangle orbs broke apart and shifted around before reforming the formation. the first two craft flew around each other and made movements that normal craft or space debris/satellites can’t do, didn’t stick around too long after getting a good look and went back inside, lights were dim enough that my IPhone X couldn’t capture it on camera, so photos and videos didn’t show anything. These orbs were disguising themselves as stars, keep an eye on that, please.

Lights fading in and out, forms a triangle

I stepped out on my back balcony for a cigarette in the very early morning hours of November 3rd, around 3:25AM. Although it is a second story balcony it is about 3 stories above the highway because of how the ground drops after the home’s foundation. I was looking off in the distance near the horizon line, due East of my location, when suddenly I realized there was a bright light slowly moving from left to right that I didn’t remember seeing come from anywhere. I watched the light not thinking much of it when slowly it faded and was gone. I started thinking, wait shouldn’t that light have been blinking? Where did it come from anyway? Before I could really wonder about it much, another light appeared. Then I knew, it definitely didn’t seem to “come from” anywhere (like how usually I might see an aircraft come from outside my field of vision – into my field of vision – and pass along in a strait trajectory or etc.) This light seemed to randomly fade into view, move slowly about for a few seconds, and then fade away.

I watched a few more lights seemingly appear out of nowhere, move about, then disappear. Once I felt confident what I was watching was not airplanes, or helicopters, or even drones – I stepped inside to grab my cell phone. Before I started recording video I took a photo using the night vision option on my phone to confirm what I already knew – there were no clouds in the sky. There was nothing obstructing my line of sight.

Over the next 21 minutes or so I recorded 4 separate videos. Each video starts immediately following the previous one’s end. I just wasn’t sure how long my cell phone was able to record video for so I took a series of shorter videos as opposed to one long one. The lights appear and disappear at seemingly random intervals. Sometimes there is just one light, sometimes there would be two lights, and at one point there were three lights that seemed to form an expanding triangle. Or triangle pivoting on an axis...? Its on the video. The movement of the lights seemed strange and unfamiliar to anything I’m used to seeing.

I could not hear any sound coming from the lights; however, they did seem to be a decent distance away. I could’ve just been out of earshot, I don’t know.

I can’t seem to find a reasonable explanation for what these lights could possibly be, thus this report. I'm not sure if starlink would explain these lights? But they are not in a strait line like the pictures of starlink I've seen, and they seem like they're moving awfully slow for satellites? But, I really don't know. As far as background on the observer, myself, I am 39 years old. I had just rolled out of bed for a “midnight cigarette” and ended up freezing my butt off outside for a half hour because I couldn’t make sense of what I was seeing. The phone used to record the attached videos is a Samsung Note10. The videos were recorded between 3:26AM and 3:48AM.

Any questions, comments, insights? Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you.

Note #: I selected the box for "There were aircraft in the vicinity" because at one point a plane passes by below the lights.

Note #2: For number of craft I selected 3 because at one point I could see 3 distinct lights. I don't know however, if they were each their own object or if they were each a part of one larger object (Like when they seem to form one large triangular shape).

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Two white lights very close together, stationary, faint white outline of a triangular shape with an apex beneath,

Initially one observer saw two white lights with separation and distance consistent with an overflying airliner which are very frequent from Boston Logan airport. However the lights did not move for several minutes, nor did they appear to get closer. During observation several airliners did appear and crossed the sky to both sides of the stationary lights. A very faint white outline of a triangle was observed to extend downward for the two lights to form a third corner, which was not visibly illuminated. Second observer came along after 3 minutes and we watched together for the next 10 minutes during which the lights did not move nor approach closer. Seemed too high to be a radio tower. Apparent distance consistent with an airliner but absolutely no movement for 10+ minutes. If this was a satellite it would be massive because the faintly outlined triangle extending below the two lights that marked its upper corners would have been gigantic at that altitude. Also no sound, although during the observation the engine sounds of overflying airliners were clearly audible, The lights and outlined triangle were still in the same position when both observers went back inside the house. Both observers were adult males residing at the address, in good health and sound mind. Ages ~ 50 and 78,

Air moving straight down toward me walked into field, looked up, shined a flashlight, saw a distortion of my light then anomaly gone

There have been many times where we stand outside and simply feel a presence, knowing this isn't a sense of a human, we simply disregarded it. A couple of weeks ago i was standing outside on a clear still night and all of the sudden felt that presence feeling again. And again, i ignored it, however this time I felt air moving down towards me almost as if the air pressure was going up, slightly compressing if you will. I quickly shined a light straight up and for a split second it looked like my light was being bent or stretched around something. As soon as i saw the diffraction of the light it stopped and the reflection disappeared.

The next day i was looking out at the field in my back yard and noticed that the grass was bent in patterns so i went to check. There were signs
that something had landed out there. I was able to rule out weather potential conditions, animals, and people due to how the grass was bent, no tracks to or from each area, and some of the patterns made it looked like something was pushing air straight down without thermal ignition/propellers/jets etc. and did so gently to bend the grass perfectly almost meticulously. i even tried to simulate making the patterns where it looked like something traversed and there were obvious differences. There were focal points where the air would push straight down to bend the grass in 360 degrees away the point. The patterns I noticed showed something potentially hovering then turning, then taking off. This data was gathered by observing how the grass was bent i.e. how the air laid the grass down the same way in every spot there was even pressure all around. i have about 15-20 minutes of video showing the patterns and my logic. videos will not attach due to size and resolution.

I remember going out to the field and following what looked like some tracks into the woods and found some either feces from an animal/human that was more than a week old and some ooze/unknown material. Again, this is the woods everything is out there, it just seemed odd. The reason i bring this up is because as i descended over the edge of the property and down the hill I very specifically remember making a 45 degree turn and going up a gentle slope however as the distance was shortened, time also felt distorted as if i was perceiving it differently from when I entered the area, (I have experienced this when i am meditating) I had returned to my original ingress, in very little time compared to how long it took me to get there returning would have been up hill on a slope over 45 degrees and i did no climbing back up, I thought it was VERY odd.

I also have cameras trained on that specific area due to home security...…BUT of course coincidentally the power happened to go out from 530am to 7am that morning.

Triangular shaped craft over Route 2

I was driving east on Route 2 towards Boston a little after midnight when I saw a low flying craft in the sky a little ahead of me. It was heading in my direction over the highway. It had fairly nondescript blinking red and blue lights on it, and a very bright downward facing white light on the underside of its nose. I assumed it was a helicopter with a search light on, and turned my head up to look at it as I passed underneath. To my surprise, however, it had what appeared to be a V-shaped formation of maybe 4 or 6 lights on the bottom, with the brightest light serving as the center point at the front of the V shape. It did not appear to be moving in any sort of extraordinary manner, and everything that I saw aside from the V shaped formation seemed consistent with it being a helicopter. I was also near Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford/ Lexington, although the object appeared to be too slow moving for it to have been an airplane. I have seen things that I would generally classify as UFO’s on at least 2 previous occasions, and am generally accepting of the idea that there are things in our skies that we lack a solid understanding of. There is definitely a part of me that wants to be able to say that I saw something that we cannot explain through conventional knowledge, so I am fully accepting that there may be some cognitive biases at play here. That said, I’m mainly posting here on the off-chance that someone else saw the same thing and was similarly unable to identify it, as there were numerous other cars on the highway at the time and it is a fairly densely populated area.

About me:
I rent this apartment (since 2017) because of the panoramic view facing east and because of the proximity to Washington/National (DCA) airport. I am passionate about military and civilian aviation and, as a result, I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at airplanes [noting their make/model, company (owner), path, assumed route, and deviations], weather, and the sky.

My Observations:
On Wednesday, 04 October 2023, at approximately 1910 local, while sitting on my easterly facing balcony with a friend, talking, I was facing approximately NNE. I observed three lights that "popped into my view", suddenly, causing me to say "whoa" out loud. I did not have to point out the lights to my friend, I simply said something like what are those lights in the sky over the Kenedy Center. She observed the same lights and had no idea what they were. I observed that three dots heading together in a due north direction, at a satallite's passing overhead speed, in an open triangle formation. The three lights were on a triangle, with one light "leading" the formation to the north and two more lights all equidistant from each other to the south. These did not look like the Starlink sattelite pattern of lights so frequestly seen in the sky. Then, within a minute, they all disappeared, first the most northly, then the other two, one after another.

The lights were a whitish (with a hint of blue) color. There was no variation in color. There was no variation in the path nor movement. The lights appeared about 35 - 45 degrees above the horizon. They appeared that they were over the surface a great distance away, guessing maybe at least 75 miles away(?) if they were even within low earth atmosphere. They were possibly operating (as I suspect they were) in space. There was no sound.

I knew the sun set recently, so I first considered what I was seeing to be a reflection. I disregarded that because the lights "popped" into view versus gradually illuminating - plus, I should have seen a "reflection" well before passing so far north in the sky. (In other words, since the lights traveled south to north, perpendicular to the sun's path, I would have seen any reflection that high in the sky much, much sooner in the more southern sky.)

My next thought was that I was seeing satellites - but satellites do not fly in triangle formation in "close" proximity to each other. We did see a satellite later that evening that I suspect was the space station traveling overhead from west to east and very brightly illuminated. The three lights looked completely different.

I am familliar (very) with UFP/UAP history, incidents, and converasations, etc. My initial reaction was not that I was seeing a UFO/UAP, but was a "head tilting" but was a "what the heck was that" reaction. Then I concluded that, from my perspective, since it was unknown to me, it was, by definition, an unknown flying object / unknown aerial phenomena.

I thought of trying to take a picture, but I know from experience that my cell phone would not have captured the lights.

I look up to the right and see this light that I thought was possibly a plane or helicopter until I saw no other lights on the craft. Couldn't see the craft either as it is too dark out. But I told my daughter to look at it and tell me what she saw. She is skeptical but she did agree there were no other lights on the moving light just the one solid light moving at a steady pace high above the trees but definitely was not a satellite. I don't really know how else to explain it...

Supplementing my first report to include a depiction of the object(s) i saw (see attached).

Sat Aug 5, 2023 (night time/not certain what time it was though). Standing out on my back patio balcony (2nd floor apartment) I saw a string of lights which were standing vertical but at a slight tilted angle and moving from the sky toward the earth at a rapid speed. I couldn't tell if it was one object or many but i saw approx 5 - 6 lights. All appeared to be round in shape but the first light closest to the earths surface was a brilliant orangish or amber color and all subsequent orbs of light were whitish but they varied in intensity or hue from the one before it as did their size. It went from large (Amber color/closest to the earths surface) to the small closest to the sky. The object, whatever it was, fell from the sky like a firework but much faster and with zero noise or light trail/tracer.

String of 4-5 lights varying in size and color

I dont recall what time of day this occurred only that it was night time as the sun had already set. At the time, i had just stepped out on our back patio/balcony (2nd floor apartment) for a cigarette. I was gazing up at the stars to my right which would have been 30° or NE when something caught my attention out of my left periphery. As I turned my head to look the first thing i noticed was a flashing beacon of light which I could clearly see was an airplane in the far distance. But the second was a series of lights which looked highly unusual. It appeared to be a series of lights in a vertical string but each varied in size and color yet I got the feeling they were part of (1) object and not 5 or 6 separate objects. I work for American Airlines so i'm very familiar with all kinds of aircraft but commercial aircraft especially and this or they were no commercial aircraft. I can't be certain what i saw but I'm certain it was no airplane!

My initial thought was that someone had been popping fireworks primarily because of the way the object(s) appeared to be falling from the sky. It seemed to me and according to my compass the objects appeared to be falling in a SE manner towards earths surface. Yet, it/they left no streak in the sky, no exhaust plume, and no tell-tell firework smoke that's left behind once they're deployed. And there was no sound either. It was eerily silent outside too and the object(s) made zero noise.

There were approx. 5 to 6 lights which appeared to be in a vertical line yet each varying in size and color. All appeared to be round objects like a ball but i can't be sure as it happened so quickly. I can't be certain but i got the feeling that the lights were part of a single object and not multiple or separate objects. The first light in the series (closest to the ground) was a brilliant orangish color and all the subsequent lights were whitish in color but each varied in its intensity or hue from the one before it (all different shades of white). According to my compass i was facing West when i saw the object(s). According to my Iphone compass the objects were here: 32°43'59" N 97°3' 35" W (600ft elevation). Though it seemed to be moving SE from the sky toward the earth until it disappeared behind the tree line. Here are the coordinates of the direction it was headed: 32°34'59" N 97°3'35" W (600ft elevation).

I'd like to suggest enhancement to your platform. It would be great if you could implement a way for us to draw or illustrate what we've seen. Maybe add a section so we can use our trackpads or mice to draw what we've seen. As some of us have a better time of conveying a message through illustrations rather than our words. Thanks

There was no light trail like lights do when they wiz by either. NO tracers or light trails yet it was moving fast just like a firework does when it falls from the sky but again, this was no firework!

Upon lighting my cigarette to take my first couple of pulls, when I gazed up into the sky and couldn’t help but notice a circular light reflecting object high up amongst the stars almost identical to thee stars excepts this thing (circular star object) was moving across the sky at an approximately 1,000mph or faster without leaving nothing behind! It wasn’t moving side to side, it wasn’t changing corses, just straight across. Airplanes could been seen flying at a certain altitude, but what I seen was way much higher up than the aircraft ! Lately a lot of strange phenomena being reported, and I didn’t care for it until I witness something like this for myself

Large object hovering over roadway ~.5 mile ahead of me for 1min, then disappeared.

First saw the object through a cluster of trees while driving south on I5 in Arlington WA. The object was not moving initially. After taking exit 208 I immediately noticed it’s shape being far different than any kind of blimp, balloon, plane, or helicopter I had ever seen. At this time it began traveling to the west. Based on the size and distance I would estimate the speed to be somewhere around 30-50 mph. I took mental notes regarding its physical characteristics, and was even able to take a short video while the object was stationary. I soon lost sight of it after driving through a wooded area. As I emerged from this wooded area, the object was no longer there. Within 30 seconds of its disappearance I called my partner and told her I saw a something I could not explain. When asked to describe its shape and flight characteristics, I was unable to recall any details aside from that it was black and slightly larger than a school bus. I was certain that I would never forget the objects appearance, but after only 30 seconds I could not recall any of the specific details I had mentally noted.

NUFORC Note:

Note from investigator: July 13 2023 at 3 PM witness saw a school bus size object over I-5 at exit 208, Arlington, WA. Arlington Airport is at that exit. Airport contacted. Nothing to report but they keep my number to call back.
Witness unsure of characteristics and lost memory of what his saw. He experienced no loss of time. He made his scheduled daily appointments on time. Object in video appears as rectangular with attachments hanging down. Witness sent video directly to my iPhone.

Object in this case was described the same as in this other recent NUFORC case: https://nuforc.org/webreports/reports/176/S176437.html

Green and white lights in the sky in a dark neighborhood.

While driving after stopping at a light, my fiance and I noticed lights in the sky, about a mile away, hovering or moving very slowly in our direction. There was a row of green lights curving out toward us and a row of white ones next to it ending with one red light, about 8-10 on each side. We pulled onto a side street to get a better look but it had just disappeared. It was too dark to see a shape but there was no noise. I thought it was a plane coming to land at a nearby municipal airport (about 3 miles away), but my fiance, a former pilot, said they were not positioned like plane lights.

Flashing zigzagging light

For several nights now when the sky is clear - I have watched a flashing light waaaay up in the South East sky zigzag & it flashes colors. It’s as high up as the stars but it is not a Star. It moves about but sometimes stays stationery. I watch it while lying in bed sometimes for over a hour. What the heck is this?!

Saw something flying in the air that did not look like an airplane or any other craft I am familiar with.

My living window is 16 floors up in Northern Virginia with unencumbered views all the way into Maryland. As the crow flies I am 2-3 miles from Reagan National Airport and see tons of airplanes flying through the sky daily. I am familiar with the expected trajectory, speed, and duration of visibility simply through observation. Whatever this was, it was not flying like anything I had seen before.

In addition to circling above while moving west to east, the "craft" itself was rotating and flying very, very fast. The planes I see out my window always fly away from Northern Virginia. This one flew right over head and then disappeared.

When I first saw it, I thought through all possible alternatives before settling on "UFO", and I'm not sure I'm saying I think it was for sure. I thought very large bird? (because of the circling). Marine One coming in for a landing at DCA?

Light seen in sky

I witnessed a blue light on the norther horizon. I would first like to confirm that this light was not Venus, which I have seen many evenings. This light was about twice that of a commercial airliner, and silently hovered in the air (much lower than an airliner would). As I looked at it in the sky, its light appeared to expand and contract (as if it were operating on a dimmer switch). After oscillating its light several times, it moved in a circular motion twice, dimmed its light, and then disappeared almost instantly.

Bright light(bright like the North Star) Dropped at like a 105 Degree angle then zipped horizontally and disappeared. Lasted maybe 10s

I went to let my dog out at 2:13am in the morning, I kind of looked out at the distant to my right when I saw this bright star light object drop at maybe a 100-105 degree angle and then did a straight cut and just disappeared in a instance. I thought maybe it was a drone but I would hear it but this was very distant and literally happened in a matter of seconds. There was no trail. It was like if the Northstar fell then stopped then went in a horizontal line for about a few seconds then it was just gone with 0 trail or trace

Three Objects with Colored Contrails in the Skys over Arlington, Virginia

Proceeding Eastbound on Route 66. Took Fairfax Drive/Glebe Road Exit. While stopped in traffic at light at intersection of Fairfax Drive and Glebe Road, facing East towards Washington, DC, I was surprised to see multiple objects in front of me, at an elevation of about 45 degrees and at a height of about 1,500 feet. Ultimately, I counted three objects. Each of which was followed by a long, twisted, winding contrail, of perhaps 1,000 feet or more. The contrails were identical for each object, but were not the typical contrail from condensation of water vapor. Rather, they were brown/reddish in color. The three objects moved helter-skelter, crossing each other's paths. I initially thought that they might be helicopters that had been struck by surface to air missiles (very reminiscent of a scene in "London has Fallen." But there was no sound. Then I saw what appeared to be a regular airplane in the nearby area, flying--it was a mid-sized plane with! what appeared to be a fixed (non-retracted) nose landing gear. This led me to think that perhaps the objects were "sky divers" or hang-gliders. But the airplane was oblivious and was flying in a direction different from the three object. In an instant, two of the objects--and their contrails--vanished. Only one object remained. Then the last object and its contrail also vanished. I had a smartphone and thought of taking a picture; but I fumbled around unable to figure out how to use and it was too late anyway. I called my friend as the matter was unfolding and asked if he was aware of what I had just seen. He was not and said he would check the news. Very odd as I thought the objects were in restricted airspace. I suggested that maybe it had been a publicity stunt. I'm reporting for what it's worth in case no one else does. This happened in broad daylight, in plain view. I would be surprised if it was not observed by many people in addition to myself. !

Three Silent Objects with Colored Contrails in Broad Daylight over the Skys of Arlington Virginia

Proceeding Eastbound on Route 66. Took Fairfax Drive/Glebe Road Exit.

A bright pulsing light in DFW area of Texas with multiple colors, slowly moving down after 15 minutes

Tuesday night around 11 I walked out on my back porch and noticed a blinking or flashing bright light that appeared to be multiple colors. I recorded it with my phone and it was almost stationary and slowly dropped below the house behind me and my line of sight over a 15 minute period. The elevation of the Clouds that night were low and some passed between myself and the object blocking it while passing by. Even when the object seemed to be moving downwards it appeared to be the same brightness leading me to believe it was not moving away from me but lowering in altitude. The main light was bright and whitish blue looking and would pulse lighter and dimmer with multiple colors seeming to be going outwards from the center outwards in all directions.

Location details: From my 22nd-floor window & balcony, saw object near top of communications (radio?)) tower

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Animals reacted

Bright orange orb hovered adjacent to, near top of radio tower

My bedroom is where I can easily see the moon. Before I went to bed around 11:40 pm, I noticed the moon was high in the sky and very bright. (Just a ritual of mine to look for the moon before closing my bedroom curtains up on the 22nd floor. There was nothing unususl about the moon: bright white, where it should be at that time of night, etc. I went to bed.

At 4:20 a.m., I was awake because my spouse was snoring loudly. As well, Finnegan (my cat) was being very loud, knocking some things over loudly outside our bedroom, near the living room. I felt angry with my spouse (who had been intending to get his CPAP machine, but had been neglecting it), and I was annoyed with my cat, who was acting so strange and being even clumsier than he usually is. I just got right up, to feed the cat (again), hoping this would calm Finnegan down some—and also to sleep on the chaise lounge in the family room (away from snoring husband). Because he'd not picked up his CPAP machine, I was rather accustomed to sleeping in the other room: I'd arranged a tall room divider around the chaise lounge to block out the early-morning light when I'd retreat there to sleep there once every two or three nights. My husband had moved the room divider that day, & I noticed it would not block the sun from the closest window when it rose in just a couple hours. As I looked over at the window to confirm this, before repositioning the room divider, I was very confused because at first, it seemed there was almost a large harvest moon (though not perfectly round & higher in the sky—and impossible, as I'd seen the normal moon earlier, and the moon NEVER is seem in that direction/area.) This glowing, orange orb was in the distance adjacent (just to the right of) the top of one of those red-lit (radio?) towers. I walked to the window and couldn't believe my eyes. Then, I grabbed my iPad to take a picture of it through the window. As I snapped a couple pictures, I imagined showing my older son and my spouse the next day and them saying, "Must have been a reflection or something." So, I walked to our large balcony on the 22nd floor to capture it on my device. Right before I stepped outside, I became afraid/spooked and thought, "Am I really going to step out here in the dark with no cars or anyone, anywhere—with this inexplicable orb out there?! What a perfect opportunity to be freaking abducted!" So, I just opened the door a bit to get the picture— didn't step out at first.. Once I'd opened the door, though, my fear mostly disappeared, and I simply stepped right out, I just felt a sense of awe, and a sort of happiness about the amazing nature of our universe. (I'm not a sky watcher or anything—and trips to, say, planetariums don't really interest me much, and I just find all the stuff about just regular SPACE spooky, so that whole "amazement-instead-of-fear. thing was a bit odd.) I stood outside far longer then I'd intended, just captivated by this orb. My *expected* "normal" reaction to such a thing would be: sustained fear, running to wake my spouse and kids to see this thing, taking some melatonin to calm my anxiety, etc. But so strangely, I just suddenly felt so calm & SLEEPY [moments before, I assumed it'd take me an hour to get to sleep because I was so angry that my spouse didn't care enough about my ability to sleep to get his freaking CPAP, and I was irritated with my bizarrely nutty cat. So, the sudden calm, sleepiness thing doesn't make ANY sense.

Have you ever have surgery, and you're nervous, and the anesthesiologist tells you everything will be totally fine and says, "Count backward from 10," and right when you get to 9 or 8, you feel SO (thankfully) calm and relaxed? It was sort of like that, but more protracted.

Anyhow, the orb seemed to change very subtly in position and appearance, but not in any odd or even really perceptible/obvious way. It mostly seemed to hover and emit a lovely, peaceful orange glow. It didn't fall or descend swiftly, or ascend while I was observing.

I remember thinking, before I went back inside to sleep immediately, on the lounge-thing, "Whoever's in that thing or controlling it from afar—they're just interested in what's going on here. And it was nice they waited until there's usually not a person awake to get panicked—they're not bothering anyone at all." It didn't seem strange to me at the time that I was so chilled out. [By the way, I do not drink [a glass of wine makes me nauseated] or use any intoxicating substances—never been one to crave it. As well, I do not have visual hallucinations or vision problems. Plus, I'd always been very skeptical about reports of UFOs & non-human-animal sentient life forms, etc.] Anyway, I was so sleepy by the time I started to walk in that, when I got to the balcony door, I turned to take one last picture, but as I was closing the balcony door, I noticed the last "picture" wasn't a picture–I'd accidentally pushed the "video" button—NO CLUE WHY I DID NOT *INTENTIONALLY* TAKE A VIDEO—just this quick, accidental video. No clue why I didn't stay around until the thing disappeared, videotaping the entire time. So, my sudden calm sleepiness actually, later, I interpreted as influenced somehow by the orb or sentient beings associated with it. This is especially the case, as well because I never have "happy dreams at night." Now and then I have bad dreams/nightmares, but I couldn't recall the last time I had a happy dream. When I immediately fell asleep back inside, the entire time I slept I had the happiest dream I can recall. It was simple: o being out with some very fun/funny friends, just hanging out, having a great time. laughing a lot. Another extremely strange thing about this is that after I woke, I didn't even RECALL the orb or ANYTHING the ENTIRE DAY. The following night, I did my usual, normal thing of looking out at the phase of the moon before bed. THEN, I suddenly remembered, grabbed my iPad, showed the pictures to my spouse, who (a scientist) said, "That is amazing! That CAN'T be anything from this world at this time." He usually can't stay awake past midnight, but he stayed awake a long time, urging me to report this, etc. I called, on (I think) the night of February 23, 2021 [late at night] the hotline associated with this site. A nice gentleman answered. I apologized for calling late—I thought I'd get voice mail. He was very interested and asked me to send the pictures and video I took, to him via email, which I did, I also included a written description of all this in my email because, for at least two nights, the site's form section was down. Tonight, I found the site again but saw my emailed report had not been posted, so I'm just posting it now.

All my immediate family members have looked at the pictures and short video and have agreed that this thing isn't and "normal"or "Earthly." My older son was HIGHLY spooked out by it, as he sees the area right from his main bedroom window and just cannot think of any explanation (though he would have been said, "Mama, you're just crazy sometimes," had I not taken the pictures, etc,). He avoids discussion of anything about it, but he doesn't worry actively. My younger kiddo is really fascinated.

This all occurred on the eve of a difficult birthday for me. *On* my birthday, February 24, I looked at Youtube with my younger son to see if others had reported (& taken better video) of such orbs–they had! And one of the very first comments I read was from a guy who explained he saw basically what I saw, *also on the eve of HIS birthday, and that he had the same thoughts and feelings I did!*

EVERY NIGHT since, I've checked outside, hoping to again see this beautiful orb. It hasn't returned. My birthday is approaching again, so I got a new tripod and set up my telescope, just in case whoever or whatever is responsible for the orb is back in my area at that time of year.

By the way, to verify this, I want to point out that I did publiclybask community members on an Arlington forum/sort of our only "newspaper" (Arlington doesn't have its own newspaper, and it seems most people think we're just part of D.C., which is understandable)—I think it was the Arlington Patch (online), later that same week (possibly the following week, because I was afraid people would scoff at me–but no one did! No one had been awake to see it, but other Arlingtonians were very supportive and also expressed appreciation that "they" were not causing any trouble, but just checking things out, minding their own business or whatnot. A couple peopje said they wished they had been awake to see it.)

I will upload my media, below, where it's requested, but I'd like to note I sent it back when all this happened, too, as I explained, above.

Thank you so much for your helpful, good work!

White ball-shaped light heading East along the Potomac River toward Washington, DC (not a plane or helicopter)

Travelling East along the Potomac River the object appeared to come to a stop over the Mall area over Washington, DC and hover at about 3,000 feet. The light appeared to travel along the approach path to Reagan National Airport but much higher than planes usually fly and had no blinking navigational aids. The object also did not descend as if it was going to land at National. Instead it maintained its altitude until it slowed down over the Mall area and began to make a slow but sharp turn back in the direction it came from. It did this twice and came to a stop. It remained stationary for the next fifteen minutes or so. While holding its position it continuously made small moves in a left-right motion and occasionally up and down. As the sun rose, the light slowly became less visible and then just disappeared.

It appeared initially to be a white light (ball shaped) when we first noticed it then with binoculars noticed that it had subtle blue and yellow overtones.

UFO description, time, date and event

Me and my buddy’s daunte and cainen were all driving back from the angel of the winds casino on a weekend night I believe and on our way home which was only about 10 minutes away, we saw a shooting star and thought it was cool and as the shooting star went across the sky it started falling into our atmosphere at a very fast speed and with my guess I’d say it was about the size of an average house and right before it touched down it slowed down at a speed I’ve never seen before then disappeared in the trees with a green/blue light on the back of it.. We waited for an explosion and looked for a crater but saw nothing, check news media outlets and online and saw nothing. The next day I looked online for anyone to who saw the event because it was huge and I had no idea how nobody else in our whole town/county couldn’t have seen it and sure enough I saw a post about someone seeing a star fall from the sky with a green light and disappeared and then I knew we were! n’t the only ones who saw and felt a lot more validated. My whole view on life is 100% different now and I don’t even know what to think. If you guys have any answers please let me know!

Large ball of bright light flying low across the sky

I was standing on my deck staring at the stars when I saw a very large ball of LED colored light came soaring through the sky just above the tree tops. It was much lower flying than any plane or helicopter. It was silent, and from my perspective appeared to be very large. There was no distinct craft, just a large ball of light moving in a straight line, and at a controlled but fast speed. Behind it there was what appeared to be a jet stream, but it was pitch black out so it was more like a trail of very faint light that was the exhaust. The light was only in my view for a few moments but the exhaust light remained for a few more seconds before dissipating. This was clearly not a shooting star or meteor. The “craft” continued on to an area out of my view. I am absolutely certain that this was nothing other than a craft of some sort whether it be military or ET. There were planes in the area at the time, but they looked like ants compared to this thing.

14 bright lights flying in trail

I had stepped out on to my back deck at 0530 to smoke a cigarette, when I observed what at first I believed to be the ISS traveling from the NW to the SE in the pre-dawn sky.

I then noticed another object of the same size and speed, in trail, of the first object and thought it must be a resupply module chasing the ISS in preparation for a rendezvous.

I was somewhat startled to observe yet a third object trailing the first two, as I have never seen three satellite-like objects trail each other before.

The roof of my house was obscuring the view to the NW, so I stepped farther out onto my deck and was shocked to see even more of these objects in trail of each other.

Total of 14 objects, no sound, at satellite altitude, appeared to be satellites in trail.

The first 6 or 7 seemed to be at an equal distance from each other, and the last 7 seemed to be somewhat staggered.

These objects where just pinpoints of bright light, no navigation lighting observed, and moved across the sky at the constant speed of a satellite. I believe these objects were in orbit, and not high flying aircraft.

I observed a total of 14 objects, but there may have been more before I went out on my deck.

54 spheres appearing in a point in the sky and travelling north in a row

I was leaving for work and as usual I spend a few minutes just looking at the sky before I get in the car. Movement caught my eye, it was what appeared to be 2 "stars" traveling one in front of the other in unison travelling towards the northeast. I banged on the kitchen window for my mom, she runs outside but wasn't able to catch sight of them before they moved past the tree line. As I'm still looking in that direction my mom starts looking elsewhere in the sky. I hear "oh my God" I turned and looked and there are 9 more sliding across the sky. I immediately though starlink but they were not travelling from horizon to horizon like you would expect, these mf'ers were appearing from a single point in the sky..blink on and move blink on and move etc we stood in the front yard and counted 54 spheres blink on and slide across the sky towards the north. I managed to snap pics, on one you can zoom in and see one.

Jet fighters surround DC area in late night search

From 11 pm until 11:30 pm the entire Washington DC area was filled with the noise of jet fighter aircraft. Reported from Bethesda MD to Burke VA. This was NOT a drill! The noise was so loud it woke me up out of a sound sleep. I live near the Pentagon in Arlington VA. When I went out to my 16th floor balcony I could see two small white lights moving in semi circle patterns. The did not seem to be airplanes..as they lacked any other lighting..and were high up.

I believe that jets were chasing these lights...which were very fast.

There needs to be pressure brought to ask why jets fighters were buzzing the area for 15-20 mins....and no..this was not because of the State of the Union address..which had been over for 45 mins before this occurred.

I am a retired history teacher and airline family member. I know what I saw..and this event is not a hoax...I can provide text from others who heard the jets...although not the lights.

I called a news radio station..they confirmed others were calling too. However..follow up calls the station..the Washington post..and Andrews Air force base have been fruitless....no story has been written..and the 113 Air National guard base at Andrews says they know nothing of what I am saying. They will not even confirm planes were launched. They are not telling the truth.

Fighter planes chase light over Washington, DC, area.

At 11 pm on Feb 4th I was awakened to a sound of fighter planes overhead. nI live right next to the Pentagon in a high rise. I have not heard fighter planes since Sept 11th. The noises were very loud rising and falling as the planes went overhead.

I stepped out on my 16th floor balcony and could see two faint white lights moving in a circular pattern overhead. I could not see the fighter plane or planes...but could see these lights. One disappeared...but the other moved in a s shaped pattern and circled back...it did not happen any other lights on it. Just a single white light.

I called the local news station (radio) and reported what I had seen. They said another man from Mclean, VA, had done the same. (7 miles away maybe) I called a friend during the event..and he heard the noises as well..but did not see what i saw.

Left a message with Washington Post. Radio station said they would get to the bottom of it. This was the State of the Union address night...so security was high...but the lights i saw were not moving in a normal pattern

Orange orb light orange surrounding halo

Object: At 21:34 PM, on December 26, 2019, I observed a large glowing orange orb surrounded by a light orange colored halo traveling in the night sky over land from Priest Point, Washington (just south of Tulalip Bay) north along the coastline to Warm Beach, Washington. Originally I thought the object was an aircraft but after watching it for two minutes, I realized that I couldn’t see any navigational or landing/take-off lights. I ran into my house, retrieved my binoculars, and was able to observe the object for at least five more seconds through the magnification of my 10X50 binoculars. The object was much closer by then to my location in the Seven Lakes area (Lake Goodwin). I could now clearly see this was not any kind of civil aircraft.

The orange orb without binoculars (seen with the naked eye) appeared to be the size of a dime. Observed with the binoculars, the object was an orange ball encompassed with a lighter colored orange halo. No discernable features of any type of aircraft were present, including wings, tail, fuselage, exhaust, or any type of lights. The object was clearly not any type of civil aircraft. The object didn’t appear to traveling at great speed. It did appear to travel in a straight line at a constant moderate speed, with no discernable sound whatsoever.

Fireball 11/21/19 6:30pm, observed from Arlington, WA, arcing across the sky to the north.

On 11/21/19 at about 6:30pm, I was driving north on I-5, just north of 236th exit 210, when a fireball shot across the sky moving east to west at about 40 degrees above the horizon.

Yellowish orange in color, the fireball was much larger than a shooting star, it looked more like a close comet. Visible longer than a shooting star, and lasting probably 3-5 seconds, with a much wider trail, the arc trail across the sky was probably 1/4 of the horizon! Brake lights appeared on several other vehicles on the freeway. There was no sound related to the event.

This is the first fireball I have ever seen, though I enjoy stargazing and have viewed many shooting stars and satellites.

A bright white circular object that moved rapidly from one point to another.

On 10/19/23, at 8:36 pm, I was on the parking lot of 101 Center Apartments in Arlington, Texas. It was dark and I was just gazing at the stars when a bright circular object caught my eye. At first, the object was not moving and I was gonna dismiss it as a drone or something else; however, the object started moving rapidly from one point to another which invoked further curiosity and I started recording a video. In the video, you will see the object to not be moving but then suddenly moving in different directions. What is unique about this video is the speed at which this object moves in different directions. The reason I’m uploading this video now is because of the increasing number of sightings of UFOs/UAPs and also a sighting that is similar to the object in my video. I’m not trying to waste anyones time and the video is not doctored in anyway. Just sending this incase it helps in any way.

Stepped out to with dog before ebbed. Noticed a moving light in the northern sky about the size of "Venus ?". It was moving very slowly. No sound. No flashing lights like an airplane would have. It slowly disappeared as I watched it. I live near an airport and see dozens of planes daily. This was very different! Moved north east as it traveled.

I took a video but it is grainy and doesn't show much.

Bright white,star- like,moving and stopping over Southwestern Vermont,changing course easily

On Sat evening July 13 2019 my husband and I were at our home sitting in chairs in front of the house facing East at 8:45pm. We could see the moon to the East South East, and it was big but not yet full. It was bright. The sky was dark blue. There were no stars visable yet ,due to the still illuminated sky. At 8:57 I stared at the moon again, this time to see a bright star to the Right of it ( as seen in the video). It was so bright I thought it was a planet. Not knowing my stars, I just wondered. As I spent a minute looking…it started to travel to the Right (south) about the same distance it was from the moon. It only took 5 seconds to cover that distance. Then it dead stopped. It really caught my eye. My husband was now watching it. Then it moved Left , back to the original position. ( Video was taken after the movement) We decided to move inside the house at that point.

At 10:25 pm we thought we could find some other stars to look at. We grabbed a white painters cloth and laid it in the backyard , I brought my strong flashlight with me. The sky was black with many stars . Within 1 minute, we again saw a bright star (among many that were visible that night) We were facing the West on a slight incline in the yard. Our heads were higher than our feet on this slope. We were facing Ball Mountain. Within a minute , we found a bright star traveling from right to left.(north to south) Then it stopped. At this point I teased my husband and said,” hey lets call it over, maybe it can see us.” I waved the flashlight up and down and left and right about 5 times, immediately this star started moving in our direction (now it headed East). It traveled quickly and directly towards our part of the sky. When it got close , it stopped.

We were really frightened. I was sorry I flashed the light at it. We picked up the cloth and ran into the house. We did not go back outside. We did not speak about it. We do not know what we saw. We don’t want to know. – I do not think satellites change course like that. I don’t know if spy drones fly at night. I am unable to research this to my satisfaction. These flying stars were the brightness and size of a night time star. ( no trails, no other colors) If anyone can explain, we would be grateful.

Silver Cylinder Flying Dark over the Far West Valley

Guarding a construction site quite aways out into the desert that doesn’t usually have a lot of air traffic, save a freighter coming to Phoenix every now and again early in the morning.

Co-worker and I were sitting in a new area facing the open desert, when I happened to glance up and see what appeared to be a plane or similar flying very low and VERY almost alarmingly slow. There were no indicator or headlights of any kind, and no noise that would suggest a plane engine. I happen to have both a flight radar and an Air Traffic Control tower app on my phone, and neither picked up a reading from it or any sort of distress call.

It appeared to be a silver cylinder or cigar shaped object headed East towards Phoenix. The lights from a nearby site reflected off the bottom of it as it cruised over and we watched it for several seconds before it suddenly turned and bolted North into the open darkness VERY quickly.

The object was shaped like a doughnut with a large hole in the center, probably 3 feet wide in total. It moved in a forward motion but was flipping and twirling at the same time. It was flying low to the ground but above the rooftop and treetops as viewed from my window.

I am a clear-headed well-educated individual, and this was viewed in daylight. My initial thought it that it was a type of drone.

Odd plane with bat-like wings

I was driving: Westbound I-530 - at: 7:23am on: October 23rd. - heading for the freeway at: Arlington/Darrington exit. I noticed what appeared to be a plane flying slowly over the freeway exit and alongside Denny's Restaurant and the Arlington Motor Inn, higher up in elevation that most planes fly. It appeared to: stop then: it rotated and headed back (in the opposite) direction. It looked like a sleek silver Jet Plane but had odd wings with (bat-like) extensions hanging off its wings.

I have never seen a plane like this before and wonder if we even produce planes like this?

I wonder what the other drivers on the road thought of this: odd Plane? And if they were just as puzzled as I was, wondering, "What the heck is it?!"

While monitoring my security cameras @ 1:21am 4/27/18, I noticed a strange orb of light moving strangely above the tree line looking east above Arlington, Wa. I went out to the driveway and looked for it, but did not see it. I went back and reviewed the video footage and the orb of light was in the exact area I was looking at.

Evidently, the IR night vision of the camera was picking up an infra red light source. Just after I turned to come back inside, the light went straight up out of frame of the camera. The light moved up, down, and sideways like a hobby drone. It appeared to move over a large area and would have been hard to fly without visible lighting on it. It was in view for about 2 minutes.

Multiple lights over Fort Myer

I went outside with my dog to see the super moon. I did not notice anything around the moon when looking at it but I took three pictures of the moon and in one picture, there are two lights near it and the other, four white lights and two other lights to the side. One picture has no lights. I thought it might be a reflection but I’m not sure, since one picture had no lights.

The lights were right over the entrance/exit area to Fort Myer and are viewed from a residential neighborhood across Washington Blvd.

String of oval shaped lights circle each other to form a larger craft.

I looked out my bedroom window at around 10:30 PM Friday, May 26th, 2017, to see a large series of lights rotating counter clockwise. It appeared as though the lights were forming a very large circular craft. There appeared to be a secondary craft about half the size of the first rotating in the opposite direction than the original series of lights and hovering adjacent. I ruled out search lights as the sky was very cloudy, and no streaks of lights indicating a ground level light were seen, just large pull shaped lights slowly circling. There was no sound to be heard.

The phenomenon lasted an hour and a half after I had originally seen it through my window, there is no telling whether or not it had started earlier.

At 12:00 midnight I returned to the window to check on the position of the lights and they had completely disappeared without a trace.

Another thing worth nothing: during the time that the lights were visible, three conventional aircrafts were heard. I heard one helicopter, and two planes. I live close to Logan Airport, commercial flights are very common to see and hear, but the two planes sounded distinctly louder and were only breifly heard. The lights remained well after the conventional aircrafts had left earshot.

Oval object making no noise moving N. to S. looked transparent except for the edge reflecting sunshine.

Bright clear morning looked up and thought I saw the edge of the moon, but it was too small and too faint. It was moving quickly from North to South and seemed to be around 2000 feet up. Object was barley visible like it was transparent. I looked from another spot to be sure it wasn't my eyes playing tricks but it's course never wavered.

I dropped what I was holding and ran to get some binoculars but it was gone or I couldn't find it again when I got back outside. No noise and very hard to spot. I don't know how I saw it at first but the sun was coming up behind it and causing a shine off of its edge.

There was a commercial jet near by that had leveled off after take off and had moved only about 6 of it's fuselage lengths.

About 10:40 AM two UH1N helicopters started making wide circles around my neighborhood (dark blue fuselage, white on top) which usually indicates there is a federal VIP in the area for some event. The helicopters were flying low, about 300 feet altitude. They circled the neighborhood in 2 mile circles several times.

After the helicopters passed nearly overhead I looked up and saw a large bird circling overhead at about two thousand (2000) feet altitude. I had seen a similar large bird before a year ago when a couple of UH1N helicopters circled my neighborhood. The bird did not flap its wings but soared in tight circles for 30 seconds and flew to another location and soared in tight circles for another 30 seconds, and then soared to another location, soared in tight circles for another 30 seconds. I estimate the bird had a wingspread of 10 feet. The bird appeared to be alternately black and silver.

I ran indoors to grab a pair of binoculars, and by the time I returned, the helicopters and bird had disappeared.

Fifteen minute sighting of unusual light formation north of Madison..

Light formation witnessed for a period of fifteen minutes north of Madison. This formation appeared to be approx the width of a football field. It looked like 30-40 spotlights pointed straight upward toward the sky.

The lights were green with a bit of orange- but mostly green. I could not see a source of the lights, and they were over an area of farm fields.

There were no tractors in the fields and there are also no homes or buildings in this area.

The light formation did move slightly to the west at the ten minute mark. I counted approx 20 Air Force jets circling in the sky during the event. This is highly unusual, as I normally see no more than a handful at a time in the skies around my home. At the fifteen minute point the lights completely disappeared.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

3 or 4 lights in a perfect triangle arrangement, to the west of Arlington.

Two of us went outside at night to walk the dog. I was noticing the stars and that one in the clear western sky looked "odd". I kept looking at it and noticed it appeared to be not one light, but multiple lights, at least 3 lights and perhaps 4. All together they were in the shape of a perfect triangle, with the point toward us consisting of perhaps 2 lights close together. The lights were colored yellowish. The UFO was approximately due west from us, elevated approx. 40 degrees up from the horizon. My best guess is that its altitude was perhaps 3500-5000 feet above ground, and maybe 4 miles from our position.

"It" seemed to appear to be moving very very slowly to the east, almost as if in a slow moving hover. No sound could be discerned from it. We could see only lights. My wife took some pics with her cell phone but they just show a faint blur (pixelated) area.

After about 5 minutes of looking, we went back to our apartment to get my monocular, binoculars, camera, and to make a quick report on Facebook, in the hopes that others saw it too. That took about 3-4 minutes, then we went back outside to the place we had observed the UFO. We could not locate the UFO again and noted that the sky appeared to be hazy now and clouding up some.

I work between Arlington, Texas, and Euless, Texas @ Collins street or TX157. For the past month I've noticed an oval shape craft fly in the same direction (south) and slowly shoot up into the sky and disappear.

I've have noticed that it usually appears flying somewhat erratically and bright. It's as bright a the planet Jupiter. I can actually see it go up into the upper atmosphere and disappear. It's cool.

Bright fast moving glowing green object low in horizon at early evening

Was walking my dog, helicopter was in the area in apparent low large oval orbit with landing spotlight shining in Douglas Park area. As it moved towards Four Mile Run Road, I saw an object moving along the dark skyline, traveling northwest.

The weather was clear, object glowed bright green with small glowing tail of green, my first thought it was an aircraft possibly the helicopter, but noted it was bright and moving horizontally at a moderately fast flight NW...second thought was it was a falling star type object, but it was too close to horizon to be that.

Object should possibly have been observed by helicopter in the area as they were in the same basic direction.

Driving home from work I was trying to take some photos of the sunset and the clouds and after looking at the pictures I found something strange as it appears to be an unidentified flying object that was not visible in the sky when the picture was taken.

This was around 6:45 in the evening.

There were NO Airplanes or HELICOPTER in sky at the time either.

6 round orange lights seen in southwestern sky in west Tennessee

I observed 6 round orange lights in the southwestern sky this evening around 7 p.m. I had taken my dog out in the back yard and looked up to see the lights which were in the approximate shape of a check mark. Two lights at the bottom were very close together and the rest of the lights appeared to form an arc toward the west..these were farther apart. I ran inside to get my camera and when I came back out, all were gone but one. It seemed to just fizzle out and totally disappear really fast. Then I observed another orange round light a little farther out. I was actually able to photograph both of the single sightings before each disappeared. They did not appear to move through the night sky.

10-11 orange lights seen on 06 June, 2015, @ 10 PM, in Arlington, WA.

On June 6, 2015, at 10:00 PM, in Arlington, WA, I got out of my car to pump some gas at the Safeway gas pumps in Smokey Point. As I turned north to walk behind my car, I saw several orange lights jump up into the sky very quickly, one after another. Each one popped up within a second or less after the one before it. I have photos of ten of them, but I think there was an 11th one that is not in the photo. It seemed like there was a straggler.

They stayed somewhat low above the horizon for about 30 seconds. (You can get a good idea of this in the photos.) I took a total of ten photos while they were in sight. Then they suddenly turned to the east, (they had been heading south towards me, and I was slightly to the west of them) and flew out of sight pretty quickly. There was no sound from them the entire time.

These lights were much brighter and bigger than any star and much smaller than the Moon. You can get a sense of this in the photos. I did not see any flashing lights, just steady, orange lights moving across the sky. They did not have any of the lights that a typical airplane would have.

I did consider the possibility that they could be Chinese lanterns. However, they moved much too quickly and with too much control for that to be the case. In my location, I wondered if they had taken off from the Arlington Airport, which is not a manned airport (it has automated landing). That could have been approximately where they took off from, because they looked reasonably close. However, they could also have taken off further north than that. The lights were bright enough to be seen from a good distance.

There was not a noticeable wind in the area at the time I saw this. I think Chinese lanterns would have stayed around much longer, even if there had been a strong wind.

When I expand the one photo of three lights, I can see the orange glow. It’s not real clear. I took the photos with my iPhone. However, you can get a sense of the color.

Greenish bright light that moved up and down several degrees then rapidly fell towards earth

While sitting outside my condo I always watch the airliners ascending from Reagan National Airport. Tonight I heard the sound of a jet fighter patrolling high in the sky. At about 9:30 PM I was looking east, up at about 40 degrees altitude when I saw a greenish tinted bright light that was moving just perceptibly up and down in the sky. After it moved up and down and up and down again it rapidly fell straight down. My 6-story high building then obscured it further from view. I might guess that the light was 1 to 2 miles distant, based on its size and brightness.

Explosion and then a Giant Star-like object appeared and ascended

I was walking back from taking the garbage out and saw what looked like a shooting star. The shooting star/object was moving west away from Washington, DC.. As it was moving west, it exploded into two pieces. It looked like a blue flame that split into two. Half of it went West and the other half moved East and disintegrated.

At that moment I thought it was pretty cool that I saw a shooting star, but then thought I never seen a shooting star explode like that.

I then proceeded to look up at the sky and about a minute after I saw the explosion, I looked up and saw what looked like a very big star. I would say it was comparable to the size of the North Star. The Star got bigger and then started to ascend upward and disappeared.

Now I am an educated man and have seen dozens of shooting stars but never saw a shooting star explode and then see object in the sky move closer to Earth and then ascend upward and out of our atmosphere. Pretty crazy but pretty exciting as well.

I clearly witnessed a UFO sighting for 12+ seconds on the Columbia River near Arlington, OR on 02/19/15.

On Thursday, February 19, 2015 I was driving from Kennewick, WA, to Vancouver, WA, on the Oregon Interstate 84 West that runs along the Columbia River. At 11:55 a.m., I was approximately 1/4 mile from the green Gilliam Co. road sign. The weather was clear with some sun and high white and dark rolling clouds.

A train came up along side of me on the raised tracks to the north of the Interstate. On the north side of the train track, setting lower, is the Columbia River bed and river. I looked over at the train as it passed me, wondering how fast it was traveling as I was driving approximately 68-69 m.p.h.. I noticed the back few train cars were flat trailers, faded pinkish in color, with some flat product wrapped in white and bright yellow plastic, and a little bit of the plastic was flapping in the wind. I did not notice any other cars around me on the Interstate at the time.

As the train got approximately three car lengths ahead of me, I heard a very loud rumble. The sound was not like a train track sound, but more like a very close jet rumble. I had my two front car windows, and my back passenger window, down approximately 3" each, because of the outside mild temperatures. I was shocked by the sound and was trying to figure out why I was hearing, what I thought must have been the train sound, even though I knew it sounded odd, after it had already passed me.

I glanced back at the train to the left and caught something out of the corner of my eye to the right that made a downward fishhook motion from above the river water, as if it had descended and leveled. I looked directly out my passenger window and parallel with me was a small domed craft, what appeared to be hovering, but it also stayed parallel with me as I continued to drive. It was approximately 10-15 feet above the Columbia River water, well below the Interstate and train track. There were no boats in the water and this was an obvious aircraft with an obvious shape, above the water.

I glanced back again at the last train car that was now ahead of me on the track and back to the craft for size comparison, and the craft appeared to be slightly larger than half a train car.

The craft shape was slightly domed on top and was symmetrical. It appeared to be directly facing me as it stayed parallel with me. On the end of the dome, on the left and right, were small extensions that looked like downward wing tips.

The underbelly was slightly domed, but not as much as the top part. In the center of the side wall facing me, was a smooth small protruding cone, or rounded tip of some kind, with a perfect black circle on the end. Above this cone, was a shape that resembled a bell dome, or what came to mind at the time was the shape of a WWII German soldier hard hat, with a slight curl on the end and small brim at the top. The center of the bell looked flat, which looked like a cockpit window of sorts, but there was no glass reflection or difference in color from the rest of the craft. The overall color was a dry flat blended, almost swirled, grayish green, very similar in color to that of the river, but the river was shiny and glossy, and this was an obviou! s flat color, and again, obviously shaped and raised above the water.

This entire event was only a matter of seconds, approximately 12, but felt slow motion at the same time as I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The craft, while appearing to stay even with me while I continued to drive, and the train out of immediate view now, made a 1/4 slow even circular turn to the right and paused for a second. As it did this, I did not see the profile of the cone or brim that was on the front. It appeared a smooth, almost fluid, transition. There were no shapes or markings on this side, only the same grayish green color. The craft then very quickly made a 3/4 right turn, bringing it full circle, and it shot upward, heading northwest toward the Washington side of the Columbia River, in a steep, just slightly angled, climb, well above the mountain on the Washington side of the river. As it made its final turn before heading upward, I heard a loud brief swoosh sound.

The craft appeared to turn black once it moved away from the water. In a matter of 2-3 seconds, it disappeared in to the white rolling clouds above. There were no visible lights on the craft, no jet trail, no heat or fume waves visible. Nothing.

I drove to the next small town of Arlington, OR, and pulled in to their park. My heart was racing and I felt nauseous. I think I was in shock from what I had just seen.

I texted my immediate family members and told them what had happened at 12:20 p.m. At 1:17 p.m., I sketched a picture of what I saw.

To my credibility, I am a ((50's)) year old mother, and grandmother who holds a ((deleted)) Degree in ((deleted--arts and sciences)), and two ((deleted)) Degrees with ((deleted--honors)). I have never experienced anything like this before, but I can not refute what I saw today.

Got up to turn heater on and could hear what sounded like the sound barrier had been broke like fighter jets.

I steped outside and the sky for 2am in arlington looked as though their was an orange glow in the clouds passing over behind a cold front and it looked as if the clouds werent moving too fast and it was like something hiding beneath the clouds like a cloak and saw tiny streaks of light darting around like a laser pointer and too fast I believe for an earthly vehicle and too tiny to be lights on a jet plane from dfw and dfw airport is just up 360 N. I believe it could of been a ufo.

The incident didn't last but maybe 45 minutes. Kinda set my neck hairs on their staight ends.

Spotlight shines over Arlington.

9/23/2014 at 8:27 (looked at the clock) I was sitting in the driveway facing an eastward direction, I leaned forward and noticed a light kinda like a spotlight shining around in the sky. Then the light, which was a blue-ish color, shined directly in my direction for split second, then swung upwards and went black. I opened the door got out to look and nothing, gone, no sounds or anything. Ok, I know it was NOT a helicopter, they don't normally climb to commercial jet altitude, which is about where this was, say about 30-35,000 feet. It wasn't a reflection off the windshield, I tried to recreate it just in case and couldn't. It wasn't a commercial jet, I see those all the time, it wasn't a satellite, I see them too. I cant explain what that was. I tried to scan the area afterwards to see if I could detect any movement without lights but I didn't see anything.

I saw a perfectly round object enter my line of sight. It came down from the sky at maybe a 70 degree angle. It lasted for about 2 or 3 seconds. Its color was blue-green.

I did not see it land but I searched for it at the town square. It made no sound. In the sky, it was maybe the diameter of half the size of the moon.

I did not find where it landed. It was moving very fast.

I saw this from my truck that I was driving and I was heading east on Highway 70.

Stationary white light observed by two people for several minutes

Bright, non-flickering white object in sky before any stars were visible. "Star Walk" iPhone program located it in roughly the location of star Dubhe (end of bowl in "Big Dipper").

Appeared to be stationary during several minutes of observation (we didn't see it appear--it was already visible when we went out on our deck), though there were no nearby visible reference objects for confirmation. Brightness roughly that of Jupiter, but way too far from the ecliptic to be a planet.

My wife & I looked away for a few seconds while discussing where our binoculars might be, and when we looked back it had completely vanished, So, unfortunately, we did not see if it flickered out or vanished in an instant.

Thought it might be a meteor headed directly towards us, but the brightness seemed too steady for that. We sometimes observe rocket launches from Wallops that appear as stationary spots when headed away from us, but there were none scheduled toda! y that we know of.

Definitely too little motion over the period of the observation for it to be an ordinary aircraft. Seemed too bright (and stationary) to be a satellite.

Three low bright orange objects following the same path fading to red with no sound or navigation lights.

I saw the first large bright orange light going from north to south between Ballston and East Falls Church at around 10:30 pm.

As it passed directly over head, the light was reflecting off the bottom of the clouds as it the object was right below the cloud. Absolutely no noise.

Before the first object faded into the distance another object followed the same path at the same speed.

By this time my neighbor had seen it as well. Then as the second object faded to the south, a third even brighter object followed the same path. Again, no noise and no navigation lights. Just bright orange turning to dim red as they faded into the distance.

It took each object about 3 minutes to traverse the sky and their altitude was just below the clouds.

Gray/black saucer with red triangular lights traveling north in the southbound lanes of traffic on SW Green Oaks Blvd.

At 3:15 a.m. on Monday, March 24, 2014, I was waiting for the light to change at the intersection of I-20 and Green Oaks Blvd. in southwest Arlington, TX. I was traveling south.

One block south of me and traveling north toward me, a dark grey and black saucer-shaped craft topped the hill. It was as wide as the three lanes of traffic and had two red triangular lights on either side in a similar position to where the parking lights are on an automobile but on the bottom edge. However, no light from these reflected onto the ground and they were not bright like headlights, but they were large rectangles and most definitely red.

The largest part of the craft was very dark gray and the top “bubble” part was black. This craft was only a few inches off the roadway. My light changed and as I proceeded toward it, it was as if something came between us and it was no longer visible. As there was nothing there to actually come between us, I feel as if it “cloaked! ” itself, but it was gone. This area is very well lit as there are street lights on either side and there are businesses on both sides of the road so my visibility was excellent. At this time of morning, there was no one else on the road except for it and me. This road runs directly behind my house and this happened 1/2 block north from my backyard. I went home and immediately called my friend who I had just dropped off and told her about it. However, over a period of 20 minutes, we were only able to maintain a phone connection for about 5 minutes, as our call would get dropped and I would get the message “Call Failed” which never comes through when a call is dropped but rather when it doesn’t go through to begin with. I would try to call her back and it would do absolutely nothing. Just like dead air. She left me a voicemail message but my phone had not rang. She would call me and get the same nothing. One time, I called her and as the phone was ringing, it soun! ded as if there was a third party on the line and I could hear! some sc ratching like claws on a piece of wood but just when the call should have gone to voicemail, it just disconnected and I got the “Call Failed” message. She said when we finally were able to talk that she had never experienced anything like that ever before with a cell phone. I hadn’t either. I was unable to go to sleep until about 6:00 a.m. The next day she told me that she had checked the Arlington Police Dept. active police “blotter” after we hung up and that from 3:00 a.m. until 3:30 a.m. there had been 9 calls to 911 that were only classified as “disturbances” within a 1-mile radius of where this occurred and my house. She tried to take a screen shot of this information, but it would not work. I can get a copy of that night’s activity from the police department, but cannot do so for 30 days. At that time, I will forward you a copy of that to go with this report.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 107843
Occurred: 2014-03-12 23:21 Local
Reported: 2014-03-13 08:58 Pacific
Duration: 3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Arlington, TX, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a small blue light move from a star to the left, then it blinked out.

On March 12, 2014, about 23:21 hours, I was standing outside my home, smoking a cigarette.

I looked to the West and just above my roof line I saw 3 stars in a line, (that I always see early in the night and to the west) but near the lowest star on the horizon out of these 3 stars, there was a small blue light.

I immediately focused in on it, because it was blue and it was moving. I watched this blue light travel from (it almost looked like it was behind the star) the star to the left and at about a 40-45 degree angle towards the ground.

It traveled quickly for a few seconds, then it blinked out, and it was gone. I thought I might have lost sight of it because of the tree branches that are in the way, but after getting a better view of that piece of sky, I could no longer see it.

I took out my iPhone 4S and took a picture of the sky where it was, but unless you turn up the brightness the image is almost all black.

This morning I remarked a copy of that p! icture, this morning. I have used MSPaint to draw the path of the UFO, the tree branches, the roof line, and the brightest stars that were visible with the naked eye.

I will send the remarked picture and the original with this report. Granted this was not a spectacular UFO sighting, but it was strange to me because I live in the flight path of a few airports, DFW International Airport, Love Field, Alliance Airport, and Arlington Municipal Airport. So I am very familiar with Airplanes in the sky and the paths they take over my home, (it's usually from North to South) and this UFO was not taking a normal path that I see other Airplanes take.

There were four lights in the sky. Imagine a pizza cut into four slices the lights met in the center and then spread out making an X then out to the edge. Each light outlined 1/4 of a circle. This happened in the only cloud in the sky.

We saw four white lights circling and converging at the center and again moving and circling and then converging at the center on the sky. It was going on for few minutes. Tried to take pictures n video but could not as it was dark. We could not believe our eyes and we surprised. Not sure if there are powerful lights from the ground that hit the sky. Did anyone else see this?

Reported: 2014-02-08 12:08 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Arlington, WI, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Triangular Craft moving at high speeds- changing elevation several times- Orange perimiter lights- Red glowing/pulsing light in middle

At 3 am this morning I was outdoors with my dog- and while sky watching I noticed a triangular shaped object moving rapidly from west to east as I looked at the northern sky. I would describe it as a rather large triangle with a number of orange lights on the entire perimeter and a larger more intense red light directly in the middle.

The middle red light appeared to be pulsing somewhat as it faded slowly in and out- the orange perimiter lights remained constant.

The speed of this craft was impressive and covered the entire expanse of my northern view from the west hemisphere all the way to the visible east hemisphere. It moved in a rather erratic manner and changed elevation several times as it moved.

I would say that the height of the craft was lower than an Air Force Jet would fly- yet higher than a smaller personal aircraft (such as a two to four seater). There were very clear conditions this morning- and I could clearly see the stars and planets.

The craft was illuminated brightly and would have been hard for anyone to miss! My rural home is approx 15 miles north of Madison WI. There is an Air Force base at Truax Field in Madison.

I noticed a number of Air Force jets patrolling this area within 5 to 10 minutes of my sighting! They covered the area for about a half an hour traveling the same approximate route (back and forth) as the craft I witnessed. It was a stunning sighting for me!

I keep my eyes skyward at night- and this was the most impressive thing I have witnessed over the past few years!

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Large white orb with glow around it in south west Texas sky.

As I was backing into my driveway I noticed what I thought was a seasonal planet that was just unusually close to Earth, it was very large, close to three times the size of the North Star for reference but with a glow around it as If it were in fog perhaps.

I blew it off until I walked outside a little later and it was gone. It was very clear out which why I found the glow around it to be odd. The light was fixed without any movement, round in shape; and very white in color.


((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Peter,

When I saw the object in question I was facing south west, what's very curios about what I saw is the fact that my girlfriend of many years works for a major airline, one of my best friends is a professional pilot; and I live near one of the largest airports in the word so I know what an approach light looks like.
Good stuff!!!

Bright orange light seen traveling NW to SE by 2 civilians in NE Iowa.

My wife and I were driving northeast of Arlington, IA, at 8 PM on November 30, 2013, when we noticed an orange light in the northwest sky heading southeast. We both thought it might be a meteorite entering the atmosphere. But the light did not diminish and disappear. Instead the light got brighter and continued to travel southeast at a continuous rate of speed.

The light did not flicker and traveled across our view southeast for at least 1 and a ½ minutes, then it disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.

We parked the car on the shoulder of the road and shut off the engine. There was no sound as the orange light traveled. We thought about the space station, since we have seen it travel across the sky, but the light was too bright and it was orange. Like a flaming pumpkin orange.

We called local TV stations, but there had been no other calls that evening

It was an orange light in the shape of Chevrolet car logo.

While waiting for the stop light to turn green we looked up and there was a large object that was lit, orange and yellow. The shape was that of the Chevrolet car logo. It did not move for a good 15 seconds then I felt like it knew we were looking at it . It disappeared or at least it was not lit anymore but we could still see the shape. We were scared.

A cross shaped ufo with white and red blinking bright lights that hovered over Arlington, Tx near the ground

I was sitting in the car with a friend then all of a sudden we notice something very big a that was very low to the ground. It was flying so low to the ground we thought it was going to crash and it was comin towards us then all of sudden it begin turning it was infront of us turning but it did not make a sound. Underneath it were white lights goin horizontal and red lights going vertical. We knew it was no plane and we were AMAZED so we got out the car and watched it float off as the lights kept blinking. It turned so sharp and made no noise and was certainly not shaped like a plane. We tried to get in the car and follow it but it seemed to disappear in the sky, it was very weird and all we could do was smile and talk about it. I have never come in counter of a ufo but I am most certain that was a UFO! What is so strange is that after we went back to where we seen the ufo and parked rhe car strange things begin to happen. There was no wind at all and the gate by us begin to open and and would close but there was none there. Then it would open slowly and close half way the open again and when we looked no one was there but there was a cat that stopped and stirred for a long time at the gate. It was very weird so we both went home.
