A Montana witness at Dillon reported watching a red and silver object with “patterned lights” slow moving above the tree tops, according to testimony in Case 88655 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home at 8 p.m. on December 9, 2017.

“Watching for deer and noticed right in front of us in the sky right above the tree line were these red and white, silver, round, small lights in a row all going in a pattern around the edge and along the top and bottom all going around in a pattern,” the witness stated. “It was turning slowly at a tilt, bigger than a house, very low to the ground, turning slowly, going in an east direction. I drove fast down the lane with me and my boyfriend watching it.”

At home, the witness went inside to ask her mother to come out and look.
“She ran out with me and we watched it. No noise at all. The red and silver lights were all going in a perfect, tilted circle, top and bottom, but the object was translucent, could just see the lights circling top and bottom on this huge, slow-turning, no-sound thing. We watched it for 10 to 15 minutes, slowly changing its directed to the northeast. We watched until it was so far away in the dark we couldn't see it anymore. We never saw it take of – just slowly moving away. Mom was kind of scared because it was so close, so big, slowly moving away over our field and above the neighborhood in the dark at 8 p.m. I went inside the house never knowing if it went back up because it moved too far away to see at night above the tree line. I tried to take a picture of it on my phone or record it, but I couldn't capture it on my cell phone.”

MUFON CAG Investigators Marie Cisneros and John Gagnon closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Pennsylvania witness at Strattanville reported watching a circle-shaped object flying over a field, according to testimony in Case 88435 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving to work at 5:30 a.m. on November 27, 2017.

“I noticed the object when I looked up to see strangely patterned lights flying over the road by the church I was passing, but it suddenly moved over a field to my left driver’s side of my car,” the witness stated. “At first, I thought the object might have been an airplane, but I realized that it was really low (just over the tree tops) and I saw a distinct outline to it that suggested it couldn't be an airplane (to describe lamely, one of the appendages looked like the protruding end of a fidget spinner). It continued to fly past me to my left over the field and I felt very confused as to what it was because I was unable to identify what it was exactly. I lost sight of it when I had to continue driving forward and lost sight of it that way.”

An Alabama witness at Gadsden reported seeing a triangle-shaped object with bright, white lights at each tip and a single, red light underneath, according to testimony in Case 85065 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness had just moved out onto a front porch and lit up a cigarette at 9:30 p.m. on July 12, 2017.

“I was just looking at the sky and saw a plane and then this big triangle with bright white lights on each point with one red blinking light flew over me going east,” the witness stated. “I'm sure it's just some kind of plane, but when I tried to find out what kind of plane, it could be just UFO.”

A Florida witness at Hallandale Beach reported watching an “over-sized, dark object," silently moving overhead, according to testimony in Case 86937 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting on a balcony talking to a roommate at 11:15 p.m. on September 25, 2017.

“She was smoking cigarette,” the witness stated. “The sky was dark and you could spot few clouds northwest. I saw bright clouds and the first thing that came to my mine was my roommate’s cigarette smoke did that. Then I realized that smoke from a cigarette cannot be that bright and so up in the sky. I relocated myself closer to the mosquito net so I could look up to the sky and when I did, I was completely in shocked.”

The witness was completely shocked.

“There was this huge ship. I saw only the bottom of it. Reminded me of a fish without the tail. Enormous size. No noise of any kind. Dark gray, lighter than our dark sky and lots of different colors and lights (red, yellow, orange, white). It was slowly floating above my building. I live on the seventh floor of my building. It has 12 floors. And this ship was very low to the building. It was lower than the clouds. The minute I realized what I saw, me and my roommate ran down to the other side of the building to the staircase where my roommate saw it flying towards ocean. I was looking in the opposite direction and lost the site of the ship.”

Florida MUFON Field Investigator Michael Ridout closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A California witness at Azusa reported watching two large lights descending toward ground level, according to testimony in Case 86824 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home from a local store with a friend at 7:30 p.m. on September 20, 2017.

“I observed two large, bright lights descending slowly to the foothills in front of Azusa canyon,” the witness stated. “It had a rocking motion. At first, I thought it was a military helicopter only to realize these lights were far too large to be that of a helicopter. I felt compelled to drive toward it. So, I did. It was hard to navigate the road and keep my eye on the lights, so my friend started directing As we got closer it appeared to land on the hill, and then one light vanished. Suddenly our attention was turned to a row of lights that appeared above us and slightly to the left at tree top level. We could see the outline of the vessel, although transparent we could tell the shape, was dome-like, and the lights were near the bottom. I had driven into a residential area and found myself in a cul-de-sac and by the time I turned around it flew awa, and the remaining light that was on the hill vanished.”

California MUFON Earl Gray Anderson closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

An Indiana witness at Fishers reported watching a triangle UFO moving at the tree top level, according to testimony in Case 84301 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred at 10:25 p.m. on June 9, 2017.

“It was hovering at a distance,” the witness stated. “Flashing multi lights observed using binoculars. Then moved upward as it grew larger heading gradually westward. Stopped in the air. Changed light pattern and proceeded to fly southeast as it lost altitude. Speed picked up. Proceeded over my house and continued southeast until out of sight. Made a hushed jet sound (much diminished from a jet plane at that altitude).”

The witness described the object’s lighting.

“As it went over my house it had two whitish lights on its forward edges. A center red light. Each white light had an additional strobe. The shape was triangular. No tail. No other lights. Very dark color that was somewhat illuminated by reflected ground light.”

MUFON Indiana CAG Investigator Philip Leech closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A New Hampshire witness at Newton reported watching a teardrop-shaped bright light crossing the sky with a red-orange tint, according to testimony in Case 85667 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
 
The witness was up late completing her taxes on July 15, 2017.
 
“I knew it wasn't a helicopter or anything because it was too fast,” the witness stated. “It eventually left my sight and I went to bed.”
 
New Hampshire MUFON State Director Valerie Schultz closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
 
“For altitude, the witness felt the object was moving at high speed at 1,000-feet in a straight line, faster than a plane and closer to the ground,” Schultz stated in her report. “She felt the object was bigger than a plane. The witness found the object strange and hard to interpret. According to the witness, the object was fuzzy having a red-orange tint around it, making it hard to see its edges.  The craft moved in the northeastern sky and towards the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant and Pease Air Force Base. I asked if she could make a drawing. She said yes and sent it to me on August 22, 2017.

A Utah witness at Clinton reported watching a solid object rotating counter-clockwise with a silver attachment, according to testimony in Case 84764 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting on his back porch relaxing after dinner at 7:42 p.m. on July 1, 2017.

“As I normally take my binoculars with me to watch the aircraft fly over the house, I noticed a black spot to the north over the Roy, Utah, area, drifting in a southerly direction,” the witness stated. “I picked up my binoculars and sighted what I thought was a large bunch of balloons. I continued watching, but decided what I was seeing was not balloons, but a solid object.”

The witness described the object.

“It was rotating in a counter-clockwise direction and maintaining a constant altitude. I noticed there was a silver attachment that appeared to move in and out. Where this flap or port was, there were two panels that looked hot, or that had been hot, by the color. The object appeared black in color, except for the port which was silver, and the two panels on either side and below it. It had four identical arms around it that were parallel to the ground, and a single arm of equal size in the center above and below its four arms perpendicular to the ground.”

​A Washington D.C. witness reported a slow moving, bright white object that emitted a smaller object, according to testimony in Case 86131 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred at 3:35 p.m. on August 21, 2017, during a partial eclipse that the witness said was near the end “before the clouds rolled in.”

“A friend and I had been watching the eclipse in Rock Creek Park with the naked eye,” the witness stated. “I spotted a small, circular, bright white object in the sky that looked like it could be a planet, but I've seen these or similar objects before in DC and knew I was seeing the same phenomenon again. The object appeared at first to be hovering, but eventually I realized it was moving slowly westward.”

The witness was fortunate to have binoculars with him.

“With my binoculars, I see the object, a brilliant white sphere, clearly emit a smaller, highly luminescent object, but that light appeared to then re-enter the white sphere. Thirty seconds to a minute later, the sphere emitted another tiny, glowing light/object, and that one too appeared to re-enter the white sphere.”

The sphere then shrunk very rapidly.

“Approximately a minute later, while I was looking through the binoculars, the sphere abruptly shrank down to a tiny point of light similar to the small objects emitted earlier (my friend observing naked-eye had thought it completely disappeared), and there appeared to be ghostly concentric circles (at least two) barely visible around the point of light. The entire structure, including the translucent circles was larger than the original size of the white sphere – perhaps 3-4 times the diameter.”

The witness then lost sight of the object.

“Less than 30 seconds later, the object was covered by the incoming storm clouds and we didn't see it again. This was a very exciting experience for both of us.”

CAG member Fred Kohler for MUFON investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown – Other.
