A Nevada witness at Mesquite reported watching a cigar-shaped object moving under the cloud cover that appeared to have windows, according to testimony in Case 92964 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness stepped outside to look at the full moon on June 27, 2018.

“It was a clear night with no cloud cover,” the witness stated. “Then I saw this object flying by going east to west, and south of me. This was around 10 p.m. It wasn’t going real fast, just moving along. Had no idea what this object was.”

The witness described the object.

“The object itself was dark in color and was cylinder in shape. It had two what looked like oval windows that had an amber glow shining out of it. The glowing was beautiful in the color of amber. It also had white running lights. As the object got further away, I could see what I think was the exhaust of the engine, but it was pulsating. This object was close, no more than a mile from me. There was no sound at all. I knew this was something out of the ordinary. The object flew over the horizon to the east of me. Then I started looking for jets because they fly over all the time heading to Las Vegas. Ten minutes went by before I spotted the lights for a jet. I thought it was an awesome experience.”

Nevada MUFON Field Investigator Donna Rothenbaum closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A California witness at San Diego reported watching a hovering, oval-shaped object at 20,000 feet that dove toward and the ground and stopped at 5,000 feet, according to testimony in Case 94827 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was eastbound along Freeway 8 at 2:45 p.m. on September 9, 2018.

“I was approaching the College Avenue exit and I noticed a large white object in the sky at about 20,000 feet,” the witness stated. “It was just staying still. Then I noticed to the left end of it there was a black fin standing pretty tall. Trying to get an idea how big this thing was, I was looking around and saw an airplane coming into San Diego airport to the south of me. It was much closer to me, so I look at its size and then looked back at the object and the object was much farther away but it was four to five times bigger than the airplane.”

The object then quickly moved.

“Then, the object made a 45-degree dive toward the ground in a blink of an eye and stopped at about 5,000 feet. At the same time, it made the move it always stayed level. It was unbelievable how fast it moved. I have never seen anything move that fast. After that I was trying to watch it, but I was also driving down the freeway. The object hovered for a bit, then it started to move slowly to the south. I then pulled off the freeway in La Mesa. Got out of the car, but at that time I could not see it anymore.”

A Washington witness at Winlock reported watching a triangle-shaped object with a “red glowing band” for five to six seconds before it moved out of sight, according to testimony in Case 93703 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The 69-year-old witness woke up at 2:30 a.m. on July 24, 2018 and looked out a bedroom window.

“I have a great view of the sky,” the witness stated. “Pine trees to the left and the right and a low row of trees on the bottom frame the window. I was staring out at the sky when this craft rolled into frame from the left side, north.”

The witness said he was looking at a “complete triangle.”

“I say it rolled into view because it slowly turned in a clockwise direction while slowly moving south in a straight-line motion. It looked to me like a pool rack triangle on its side. There was a wide, red glowing band that ran around the perimeter of the craft. There also was a red circle at each corner. The red glow was very bright and slowly pulsed as it turned. The red light clearly showed the outline of this object. I was fixated on the light trying to set this picture in my mind.”'

The witness described the object’s color.

“The body of the object could have been anywhere from light gray to black. The light defined the edges but obscured the color of the body. I viewed the craft for about five to six seconds total. After this experience I got up and made a quick sketch. Later, I drew it up on a CAD system. I don't really believe that this craft was trying to be stealthy in any shape or form. It was so clear and so defined I believe it could have been seen from miles away. I don't feel the need to have someone justify this sighting, but it would be nice to know someone else had this great experience.”’

A Pennsylvania witness at Wrightsville reported watching four black, triangle-shaped objects moving overhead under 500 feet, according to testimony in Case 89450 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred as the witness arrived home along the Susquehanna River in York County just after 7 p.m. on January 9, 2018.
“We heard and witnessed a helicopter with a searchlight, hovering over and scanning the countryside and water,” the witness stated. “As we watched it, we became aware of four other aircraft flying at a higher altitude than the helicopter.”

The chopper continued moving away heading north.

“The craft flew in a pattern directly over our home. They were triangular in shape. Possessed pulsating lights. Their surface was black, but reflective. They flew northwest. Entire encounter took four minutes.”

Pennsylvania MUFON State Section Director John Weaver closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Minnesota witness at New Brighton reported watching a hovering disc-shaped object less than 500 feet away, according to testimony in Case 92852 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness had just left a restaurant with friends and was in an adjacent parking lot at 10:58 p.m. on June 21, 2018.

“I looked up and saw this object just above the buildings,” the witness stated. ‘It was hovering with red lights all in one area and two white lights in front. Then the colors changed to blue and green blinking. Then the red lights came on in the middle of the spaceship. I could then see the shape of the craft.”

The object then began to move.

A Canadian witness at London, Ontario, reported watching a silent, triangle-shaped object just 50 feet off the ground, according to testimony in Case 92445 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred at 10:05 p.m. on June 2, 2018, at the University of Western Ontario Cronyn Observatory during an open night to the public.

“I was out on the balcony waiting for my turn to use the telescope,” the witness stated. “I was looking straight up to see if I could see any stars as it was getting much cloudier.”

The witness noticed the object fly right into her sight-line and she froze.

“I just felt really numb, stunned. It was definitely a ship of some sort, and so black it stood out from the night sky. It had lights on the bottom of it, along the edges, I think seven in total. One at the peak and three down each side. They were not obviously bright but casting a white glow, seemed to be dome-shaped almost, rather than flush against the surface.”

The witness immediately thought the object was a UFO.

“It was flying really low, right over our heads. Perhaps 50 feet up. It was moving rather slow, totally smooth, and was completely silent. It had a solid outline and distinct triangle shape, but the body was also moving. Its body reminded me of a Rubik’s cubic with the square parts rotating forward in some sort of perpetual kinetic motion. I was so shocked I couldn't speak. I did look around me and could not process no one else was seeing it. Everyone was talking, or on their phones, or looking through the telescopes at Jupiter. I wanted to say something but felt frozen. I looked back up and it just continued moving along until it disappeared into the distance. I felt like talking to someone, but I couldn't. It felt really surreal. I remember thinking, ‘Wait, come back,’ but it was gone.”

Canadian Field Investigator Dan Jones closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle. The witness included one illustration of the object with the report, which was filed on June 3, 2018.

A Massachusetts witness at Northampton reported watching a “black wing” about 50 to 100 feet across hovering silently alongside a major highway, according to testimony in Case 89280 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred at 5:20 p.m. on January 2, 2018, as the witness was driving home from work heading south on I-91.

“At first, I thought a new construction crane had been set up to the side of the highway because of two bright, stationary lights over top of the trees,” the witness stated. “As I got closer to the object, I realized it was a flat craft just hovering in the dark sky. It was darker than the sky, so I could see its outline.”

The witness described the object.
 
“It was a black wing maybe 50 to 100 feet across. It had two bright lights possibly on the underside and had lights along the front edge of each wing, maybe five on each side. They looked like windows. I could kind of make out an interior space. It wasn’t until I drove under it that I clearly saw the wing shape. I tried to slow down as much as possible. It was rush hour and a lot of traffic, but I then realized this was something I've never seen before and it was just floating, silently.”

The object was hovering at or under 500 feet and appeared to be 101 to 500 feet away. Massachusetts State Director Eric Hartwig closed this case as an Unknown UAV.

A Maryland witness at Boonsboro reported watching a low flying, blimp-shaped object, according to testimony in Case 86700 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness had just dropped off his son's girlfriend and was leaving her house at 8:35 p.m. on September 13, 2017.

“I got to the stop sign and was looking left,” the witness stated. “No cars. Looked right. No cars. I looked back to the left and noticed a dark object floating at my 11 o’clock position. I sat at the stop sign a minute, kind of dazed and wondering what the heck was I looking at. The object was dark, and I could only make out the outline of its shape when I saw the red lights on either side (left and right) blink. It looked like a football field size and was really low to the ground.”

The witness also described the object’s lighting configuration.

“I also noticed a white light blinking on the top and bottom of what I was seeing. I was thinking that whatever it was would surely crash so I turned onto the route and continued to watch it. I turned off the radio in the car and rolled down the windows, I couldn't hear any engines. Nothing. I was on a ‘country’ road, so there were no other cars at the time to interfere sound or sight wise.”
The witness pulled over and watched the object slowly float towards the southwest.

“I still could not hear any noise coming from it. I had to get home, so I started to drive again but I kept looking over at it (it was to my left side). I was totally mesmerized. I could not figure out what I was looking at. I thought maybe a glider? But at night and so incredibly large? I thought it was bigger than a small plane (like a six-passenger craft) but I thought it was smaller than the size of a 747. I was completely captivated by this object and I continued to look over at the craft as I was driving. I was so ‘drawn’ to look at it. I cannot explain how strange I felt looking at it, but I didn't want to look away. I did not even think to try and record a video or take a picture with my cell phone, but I am not sure anything would have shown up except the blinking red lights or white lights. I thought this might be a military aircraft of some sort.”

CAG Investigator Fred Kohler for Maryland MUFON closed this case as an Unknown – Other.

A Texas witness at DeKalb reported watching a brightly lit craft with no lights that ejected smaller orbs before moving away, according to testimony in Case 86357 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving along a farm market road heading to work at 8:30 p.m. on August 24, 2017.

“I noticed that there was a strange looking flying craft with two bright lights that really stood out but the whole craft was very lit up,” the witness stated. “It was coming from my south side from across a pasture.”

The witness quickly grabbed a cell phone and started recording video.

“The craft came across the pasture and then got in front of me and was flying directly above the road in front of me as I'm recording it. I am driving and taping at the same time. We go like this for a while when I then notice there are two star-size lights or orbs that are falling from the craft. A few seconds after this, I actually go under the craft and I look up through my sun roof and can see the bottom of it. It appeared to be square and lit underneath. It's hard to recall but seemed to have maybe pink and blue lighting.”

The witness did not get that event on video due to driving.

“Very shortly after that I found a driveway to pull into so that I could get out and see this thing. After I pulled into the driveway, which was now in front of the craft, I grabbed my cell and tried to get more video. I could see the craft. It was hovering in a clearing in the direction I just came from it was lit up and unusual looking. You can at this point hear the sound of it on my video, but you can't see it. It then goes straight back in the direction we had just came from.”

The witness heard people talking across the street talking and walked over to ask if they saw it.

“It was a way back behind their house, but they were under their carport at the time and didn't see it, but one of the men said that they heard something.”

Texas MUFON State Director Gary Neitzel closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

An Iowa witness at Exira reported watching a low-flying triangle-shaped object that began following him, according to testimony in Case 85523.

The witness was on his way to work at 4:30 a.m. on July 31, 2017.

“I was heading west out of Exira, on F58,” the witness stated. “Roughly four miles west I saw some bright lights coming from the southwest. I pulled over because at first, I thought it was an airplane but there is no airport for 10 miles. It was so low to the ground I thought it was going to land. There were no blue or red blinking lights. It did have a big white orb on the bottom that did blink.”

The object flew over the witness and continued on a northeast path.

“I kept going down the highway for another mile and realized it was now following me. I pulled over, but it would not come closer and just hovered about a quarter-mile away. I proceeded to drive to work five miles north of Kimballton, Iowa. It didn't matter what direction I drove. I could tell it was following me. Once I got to work, it was now a long ways away and it just hovered the entire time. I tried taking a couple of pictures but two did not turn out. Only one did and that was from a far distance and it only looks like a very bright star or planet.”

Iowa MUFON State Director Gregory Andersen closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
