First up today are two brothers traveling east along Colorado’s I-70 between Avon and Vail when they noticed a long, metallic-looking, cigar-shaped object hovering over a distant tree line. (And can I mention their driving habits? Kids, don't try this at home.)
CO, June 27, 2009 - While traveling east on I-70 back to Denver I noticed a metalic cigar shape in S/SE sky in Vail area. At around 7:15 pm MST my brother and I were traveling back to Denver from Las Vegas. We were driving east on I-70 and just got into the Vail area just between Avon and Vail. As I was looking around enjoying the beautiful views a shiny metallic looking object somewhat similar to a cigar caught my attention. |
Two Raymore, Missouri, witnesses at poolside noticed a “white cylinder-shaped craft with no wings” in the sky. They are hoping others saw the same object.

CT, June 28, 2009 - A metallic cylindrical object moving slowly at a 45 degree angle from west to east While waiting for a red light to change in the intersection of route 111 and route 25, I glanced at the sunset. Suddenly, I noticed a metallic colored cylindrical object moving slowly at a 45 degree angle. The object moved at a slow pace and was high in the sky. In attempt to keep an eye on the object I started driving slowly when the light changed to green. However, the cars behind me kept beeping their horns and I had to move. Once on route 25 going south, I stopped by the shoulder and tried to locate the object again but was not able to. |
This Illinois witness saw a “yellow circle in the sky” that seemed to have rings around it. The object “flashed white and disappeared into the sky.”
IL, June 25, 2009 - Yellow flash in the sky, sparkly circle I was hanging out with some of my friends in the park close to my house at around 8p.m. when I looked up into the sky and saw a yellow circle in the sky, there seemed to be almost rings around it, almost as if it were on fire in a way, it's hard to describe because it only lasted a few seconds, then it flashed white and disappeared into the sky. I looked in that direction for another minute telling my friends what I saw, but I didn't see it again. It took me a few days to post this but I was surprised to see that many people close to my area had seen a similar object in the area. Interesting. |
Two Woodstock, Georgia, witnesses thought they saw a cargo plane just 1,000 feet off of the ground. They then saw a ball of light, amber in color, moving just 70 to 100 feet above the plane. The only noise seemed to be coming from the cargo plane.
GA, June 29, 2009 - from a cargo plane I was out side on the front porch of my home in woodstock ga. It was around 10:30pm out of no whare. DID not here it intill it was in sight was a cargo plane, Only about 1,000 feet above the ground, I was watching it and from the right side of craft a ball of light, Not bright but not dim, In a aber color. Went about 70 feet to 100 feet above the plane the went fast. I Ran out in the yard to watch it the this ball of light turned right. It went right on a dime then I watch this cargo plane turn right following it. The cargo plane looked strange too. It had one green flashing light on the nose, then about 6 or 7 white light for the right side of the wing to the left week and I could not see any lights on the tail. After his all end I went inside me and my brother wife went in to tell my brother. We had no clue what is was. We tryed to debunk it but nothing that we knew could. If it was a missile or a gun we would have herd it, If it was a missile we would have seen the fire from the engine, And then it turned just right. That was so strange, I have no clue what it was. It could have been some type of probe but the cargo plane was chasing it. I have no clue what this was or why it was here. |
A New York witness out golfing noticed an object in the sky that was “extremely shiny and all silver in color.” The witness could not make out wings, tail or a trail behind it. “The shape was circular.” The object moved into a cloud and disappeared from view.
NY, June 29, 2009 - Silver, shiny, circular. I was on the second to last hole in my golf league (830pm) and was waiting for the group in front of us. I looked up at the clouds as the cloud structures were pretty interesting and noticed what I thought was a plane. As I kept looking at it I began to think it was an interesting looking plane. What was strange was that it was extremely shiny and all silver in color. I could not make out any wings, tail, or trail behind the object. The shape was circular. It was high and moving from west to east. I lost sight of it once it entered a cloud. The sky was clear when I saw it and I was able to see it for about 2 minutes. |
This Texas witness has seen orbs dozens of times over the past few months. “These orbs are always there when these planes fly over and they have some amazing speeds.”
TX, June 26, 2009 - Orb In the Sky Ok, i've seen this simular object now about a dozen times in the past few months. These supposed Chemtrail Planes are flying over and near the planes are thse orbs almost all the time. I've filmed one on a camera but since I don't have an actual camcorder I can't film them all. These orbs are always there when these planes fly over and they have some amazing speeds. One of these planes was flying over and one of these orbs was behind it at about a hands length and in a matter of seconds this orb went from beind well behind it to in front of it. It passed in front of the planes from right to left. It was behind it to the right and then quickly sped up and crossed paths with the plane and was in front of it and to the left of it in a matter of seconds. Theres something going on with these Chem planes and these orbs. Pay attention to the planes. Film them cause the one time i've filmed one I caught something on camera I didn't see. You tube it also theres thousands of videos on there of these orbs apearing when these planes are flying over. Not sure what else to say except something odd is going on. Pay Attention People! |
An Illinois witness near O’Hare Airport (Chicago) noticed “two bright spheres of light, zipping in and around the path of the planes.” The witness said the objects appeared to be “dancing with one another” or “circling around each other and zipping back and forth.”
IL, June 26, 2009 - I witnessed two glowing Spheres zipping between planes I was coming home from work a little past 5 pm and had walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus home. I was looking at the planes taking off from O'hare International Airport. As I watched the airplanes taking off I notices two bright spheres of light, zipping in and around the path of the planes. They seemed to be dancing with one another, No other way I could put it. They were circling around each other and zipping back and forth. The planes did not seem to be bothered or did they divert from their paths due to the objects. This went on for about 45 seconds to roughly 1 minute, before the objects sped out of site. This is not the first time I have witnessed strange objects in and around O'Hare. I usually carry around my backpack and in it, is my trusty camera. But today of all days I decided to leave it at home and travel light. |
This California group observed star-like objects behaving in odd patterns. Some in the group were attempting to communicate to aliens during this sky watch over Lawrence Livermore Labs.
CA, June 27, 2009 - Binocular sightings to star like UFOs over Lawrence Livermore Labs Date: June 27, 2009, Saturday Renee Martine (Intuitive) and 2 other intuitives reported seeing 3 stars aligned in a right degree angle. The star in the middle seemed to wobble, split into two stars and finally vanished. Time of sighting: 2:06am. Other witnesses: Laura Miller and Monique Apodoca. Note: The three using intuitive abilities were attempting to communicate with extraterrestials. Tammy Straling while observing the night sky saw a darting star object that moved in an erratic pattern. Time of sighting: 3:01am. Possible witness: Paul Dale Roberts. My eyes could have been playing tricks on me. Observing the night skies on a continuous basis causes mis-sight and misjudgment. While observing with binoculars, it appeared to be a fast moving star like UFO that darts straight, hard left angle and straight again. Note: Many conventional aircraft and satellites were observed. Observations lasted through the entirely of the evening. Photographic or video was not obtained. Light/laser signaling produced no results. Psychic telepathy communication inconclusive. Sightings by investigators are inconclusive. |
A couple in Davison, Michigan, saw a bright light in the sky that remained in the same position for about one hour. “Light consisted of multiple lights in 3 rows, with 10-12 lights in a row in a bar like shape.” A red beam was also seen shining from the bottom of the object and an audible tone was heard once every 15 minutes.
MI, June 29, 2009 - Strange multicolored lights hover over Port Huron/Lapeer MI On the morning of June 29th at 4:15 am a very bright light was spotted from Davison, Mi to the east between 85 and 90 degrees and between 35 and 40 degrees in elevation. At the time my wife and i were going to bed and spotted a light out the window. At first glance i thought it could be a metorite however it was mostly stationary and multicolored. The light remained in this position until it disappeared at 5:15. Light consisted of multiple lights in 3 rows, with 10-12 lights in a row in a bar like shape. Lights varied between being on and off, in color, intensity. They varied from glowing to being beams of light extending 5 times the width of the object. The lights seemed to rotate at times and sit still at other times, and sometimes flash at random. Rotation was at times vertical and others like chasing lights along its length. A red beam was often seen shining from the bottom of the object. 6-10 audible tones were heard while the object was visible. Tones were heard about every 15 minutes and lasted only a few seconds. The object seemed to move slightly in reference to nearby stars every few minutes but still remained in nearly the same place. A low hum was maintained at all times during the sighting but this could possibly have been local road noise. |
Two Maine witnesses just getting off of work looked up and saw “solid bright white light” moving toward them. They said the object was silent and moved in a “wobbly” manner.
ME, May 15, 2009 - saw a solid white light pass over myself and a co-worker while we were leaving work. No blinking and completely silent. It flew ovwer head, was fairly low, but couldn't make out shape. It didn't fly completely strait, kinda wobbly and passed over BIW Shortly after 9 a co-worker and I left work. Don't know why but something told me to look up. When I did I spotted a solid bright white light flying towards us. I pointed up and said to my co-worker, "that's not a plane." |
A Maine witness watched a solid orange ball in the sky. The witness ran inside for binoculars and a laser pointer. Back outside, the witness blinked the laser pointer at the object three times, and the object blinked back three times.
ME, April 16, 2009 - got home from work. Heard three to four different dogs barking so I looked up. Saw a solid orange star-like light flying from the southwest to the north east. Tried to contact it with a laser pointer. Did not react untril I blinked the laser three tim I got home from work. Walking to my door, I heard three or four diferent dogs barking in the background coming from different places. I decided to look up at the sky. When I did I saw a solid orange ball, a star-like object fly south to the north. I knew it wasn't any plane I've seen. I am a military "brat" and my father worked air defense in the army. I have lived in Brunswick since 1987, there is the BNAS, the Naval Air Station, and Portland Int. Jetport is about 25 miles away, so I see airtraffic all the time. This was NOT an airplane. I quickly ran inside and grabbed my bionoculars and my laser pointer. Thru the bionoculars it looked no different, so this object, what ever it was was big and pretty far away. I tried to contact it with my laser pointer. It did not respond until I blinked it three times. After I did that the object blinked three times back at me....and kept flying on its course!!! I felt amazed and shocked when it did that. I really didn't know what to think. I watched it til it flew out of sight. |
A Missouri witness noticed two jets in the sky with “two UFOs with steady white lights.” There was a second sighting of a similar event 36 minutes later.
MO, June 29, 2009 - 2 Events of Jets being followed by 5-8 UFO's At around 9:00 pm, I was cooking, when my boyfriend and children began calling me to look outside, there was 2 jets, and along side were 2 UFOs with steady white lights, and when it flew over and I went to get my camera, there were about 4 more behind, flying very closely, and based on the amount of crafts there should have been alot more sound but it sounded like there was only one aircraft, it looked like they UFOs were guiding the jets, then again around 9:36 pm there was again there was 1 jet and 2 UFOs flying right behind it, they were going pretty slow and made a slight turn in unison. This is not something that happens here alot even though we see UFOs around here almost daily. I olost sight of the object due to trees in my way. |
This Georgia witness noticed a stationary light in the sky at 4:30 a.m. and went exploring with a camera. The silent object remained for 10 minutes before disappearing.
GA, June 30, 2009 - Hovering object over woods

A Minnesota couple out walking their dog noticed a jet in the sky, and a second object “zipping” around the sky and leaving no contrail.
MN, June 1, 2009 - Object following jet, left no contrail. My wife and I walk our dog 3 times a day, in the morning around 6 am, in the afternoon around 3 pm and at night around 9 pm. On June 1st, during our afternoon walk, we we walking in a Southerly direction, I turned to face my wife as we were walking, and I noticed two objects in the sky. The sky was mostly clear. The first object I recognized as a jet, based on its shape, consistent speed and the contrail it left behind it, I am convinced it was a conventional aircraft. The second object appeared like a bright spherical dot in contrast to the more recognizable shape of the jet, but what really caught my attention was two things: 1) In sharp contrast to the jet, the movement of the second object was jarring, zipping forward, then suddenly slowed, then jutting forward again. Had I seen this object by itself, I am not sure I would have caught the difference, but as the second object seemed to be following the jet, at what seemed like a close distance, 300 feet? It was very obvious in contrast to the jet, that the second object was capable of shifting speed/breaking quite easily. 2) The second object left no contrail. Now I am not a pilot, and I have not found one to confirm my suspicion, but I would think that if two aircraft were high enough for one to leave contrails, the other would also leave contrails. I pointed out the phenomenon to my wife, she confirmed that she also saw the same strange contrast between the two objects. This lasted about 30 seconds? Then the second object seemed to break off and fly upward/Northward/away. The jets stayed its course and both objects disappeared from view. |
This New Jersey witness has several UFO stories included with his most recent sighting.
NJ, June 29, 2009 - Star-like UFO "hovering" in sky. I want to make it very clear that what I am about to write is 100% true. I don't care about alien fanatics, but I do care about the truth. Just 40 minutes ago, I was about to fall asleep sleep when I noticed an unusually bright star outside my window. I have seen two UFOs near my home before, so I knew I had to take a better look at what it was. One of the previous UFOs I had seen, just like the one I saw 40 minutes ago, was a star-like object, but as soon as I stepped out of my car to take a good luck at what it was I was seeing, it shot off into one direction at an incredible speed. It was 4:40AM and I had just put my iPod away. I was listening to some good, heartfelt music. Immediately after turning it off, I put my head down, ready to go to sleep. Then, for some reason, I thought I saw something outside that I should check. It was just a light that I figured would end up being a plane or some bright star or planet. Then, when I moved the blinds, I realized that it WAS just a star. Or so I thought. So I kept looking at this star, thinking to myself, why is this the only star in the sky? I mean, I looked around and only saw one REAL star in the background, but it looked completely stationary, as it should. So as I let a minute pass by, I realized that the light wasn't stayng the same. At moments, it seemed to get brighter, then just a tiny bit more dim. Maybe, possibly, a star does this. But after the next few things I realized, I knew that this phenomenom was something that could not be dismissed. Remind you, it was late (and it's still late), I wouldn't have gazed for so long if I didn't think it was a cause for alarm. This event is described to the best of my knowledge and I want a response with possible conclusions and or clues to what this star-like object was. I am here to help as much as possible. In fact, tomorrow night, I will watch the sky around the same time, and have my video cam ready for quality footage. NOTE: I completely ruled out the ideas of a helicopter, plane, flare, star, planet, comet, meteor, shooting star, satellite, or the International Space Station. Since the object was hovering several centimeters horizontally and vertically (from my point of view) and not stationary or still as a "real" star would, I ruled out the possiblity of it being a star or planet. Again, it clearly and definitely moved horizontally and vertically in 2-3 centimeter length, but this was from my point of view and it can also be concluded that as far as the object must have been, those centimeters could have easily been many feet in length. Now, since the object was not constantly moving in one direction across the sky, it can be concluded that it was neither a satellite, comet, meteor, shooting star, "Space Station", plane, helicopter, or flare. This object was hovering in the air at a very high alititude for over 30 minutes before disappearing with the morning sunlight. |
