A California witness at Lincoln reported watching a fast moving, cylinder-shaped object that crossed the horizon in about eight seconds, according to testimony in Case 82671 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting at a northbound stop light at 2:45 p.m. on March 16, 2017, and observed the object moving from the northeast to the northwest at a very high rate of speed.

“Object seemed to be bus size - maybe 1,000 – 1,200 feet up,” the witness stated. “Object crossed 60 percent of our horizon in approximately eight seconds. My wife and I both observed the object - she thought it might be a drone, but we didn't see any type of propulsion.”

My wife saw something similar about 2 months ago over Canyon Lake. CA in Riverside County. Travelling from the northeast to the southwest. Hanging clothes on the line, looked up it was there, looked down to hang another piece, looked up and it was gone. Cylindrical, chrome-like and reflecting sun light and the outline made it appear segmented. She drew me a picture.

I saw one of these too four or five years ago when I was going to school in Redlands. It was just hovering a couple hundred feet in the air and then vanished suddenly. Looked like an airplane but no wings, nose, tail, or windows; just a shiny metal cylinder.

Saw this today, 24/07/2018, around 1pm. If not the same object then it looked very much like it. Appeared overhead, Lincoln UK. Quite high altitude moving across wide area of blue sky South Easterly direction. Exactly as described in original post but I noted a single light at bottom of the cylinder flashing (white) once every 8-10 seconds. Cylinder changed direction, Northwards for 4 seconds then Eastwards. Shortly afterwards it stayed motionless for 2-3 seconds before changing direction to Westward. Some lower clouds had gathered by this time & the object disappeared behind the cloud nearest to it. It didn't reappear after that. My wife and I each grabbed our mobile phones to film it, but my camera wouldn't open & my wife's phone 'froze' requiring her to restart it. Possibly just coincidence, & not stating this to be of extraterrestrial origin. But it definitely wasn't a balloon or a regular aircraft. Fascinating.

I posted a similar sighting on Mufon 6-17-19. Driving home from work early evening. Very bright day with a multitude of billowing cumulus clouds. I was stopped at a traffic light with a broad Vista of the sky, just appreciating the clouds. Saw what I initially took to be an airliner crossing east to west, about 35 degrees above horizon. Something wasn't quite right - it grabbed my attention. I could discern no wings or tail, just looked like the fuselage of a jetliner, white/silver. As I watched it passed behind one cloud. I was mesmerized, again it seemed 'off', a little too low in the sky, speed not quite right, no wings, but flying in a straight line. There was one large darker cloud directly in front of me. Clear sky on either side. I watched as this object flew behind/into this cloud. Was still at a complete standstill in traffic. I wanted to watch it as it flew out of the cloud and across the horizon to see if I could discern wings. The object never reappeared from the cloud. It should have taken only 3-4 seconds at the most to cross this cloud. Given the trajectory and rate of speed, I can't see any way it could have changed direction to stay behind the cloud. I was stick at 2 traffic lights and able to observe a broad view of the sky for another 2-3 minutes. No sign of this object. One more strange occurrence that coincided. I estimated that this happened at 5:45 when I looked at the clock a few minutes later. When I got home maybe 45 minutes later, I realized I had an unread text. The text had arrived at 5:46, from a gibberish address of about 20 letters and numbers ending in .us. The title of the text was 'patrolling Guards moved'. There was a link in the text that led nowhere. This arrived at the exact time that this object went behind the cloud. I've never received a text on this phone from any similar gibberish address. Maybe pure coincidence, but taken together with what I saw very strange indeed. I am an SF nerd and absolutely believe in ET, bit never seen a ufo in the past(I'm 54) and was looking for a logical explanation/not expecting a ufo sighting. It wasn't until the object disappeared behind the cloud that I realized this was real - I was waiting for it to reappear to try to see wings/tail/ something that would make it obvious it was a plane

6-7 years ago I was standing in front of my mom's house talking to her.. when something caught my attention above me it was bright so when i looked up it was two cylinder shaped golden in color flying over at not so fast speed...i stood there..speechless not believing what i was witnessing..then i heard the unmistakable sound of military planes coming in the same direction..when i looked back to the cylinders they webt from flying normal to not there in a second... that was the most impressive thing I have ever seen in my life... i truly believe that we are not alone.
