A Washington witness at Seattle reported that a “blue object rose up, split into two pieces, and merged again,” according to testimony in Case 93587.

The witness was working near the top of Columbia Tower at 6:30 p.m. on July 23, 2018.

“Several tourists, myself and the bartender saw a blue thing rise up from either Ballard or Magnolia heading south, split into two pieces, rise up over the water and merge back together again,” the witness stated. “It kind of looked like it was tumbling upwards up until it merged again. It went towards SeaTac and then after a while we couldn’t see it anymore. I told the tourists it was probably a giant thing of blue balloons, but it honestly could have been anything. I was a little freaked out by it, thought it was a nearby drone at first as it came up, but then it split into two pieces and it was a lot farther away than I initially thought. I watched it until it was very high and probably past SeaTac airport, then I couldn’t see it anymore. I lost track of it a few times, but found it again pretty easily until it got too small for me to see. It was also blue, so it blended in a bit with the sky, there was a bit of a black outline though. I was working so I was unable to take a photo of it.”

Washington MUFON Field Investigator Anthony Nugent closed this case as an Unknown-Other.

A California witness at Anaheim reported watching “five glowing triangles flying in formation,” according to testimony in Case 93687.

The witness and his nephew were at Disneyland about 10 p.m. on July 22, 2018.

“We were sitting on a bench located at the dead center of the park,” the witness stated. “We observed five soft, glowing triangle-shaped objects traveling in formation westbound at about 500 feet up. They made no sound. And as they were directly over us, the lead triangle switched places with the triangle that was behind it on the right-hand side. After that happened, within seconds they all disappeared. A Latino family consisting of a mother, father, baby and grandmother also witnessed the event.”

California MUFON Field Investigator Earl Grey Anderson closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Washington witness at Darrington reported discovering a UFO in a photo taken of White Horse Mountain and meadow, according to testimony in Case 93732.

The incident occurred at 1:42 p.m. on July 22, 2018.

“Didn’t see the object in the photo until I went to crop and color correct it after a number of days,” the witness stated. “At the time, I was facing into the sun and had to cover up the top of the camera to prevent lens flare. I don’t recall any planes or helicopters in the area at the time, but it was hot and windy with many cars on the road, so I didn’t linger and quickly took the photo and moved on. I don’t live in the area, so not certain if that area has any regular commercial air traffic. Either way, it was very interesting to find it in the photo.”

Washington MUFON Chief Investigator Daniel Nims closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Kentucky witness at Mount Washington reported watching a “large, glass-like globe” that floated over her home, according to testimony in Case 97557.

The witness was standing in her front yard with her dog at 9:30 p.m. on July 19, 2018.

“I thought I saw, off in the distance, an airplane on fire,” the witness stated. “It slowly descended for a few seconds and then it was immediately hovering over the roof of my house. It appeared to be a large, glass-like globe about 30 to 35 feet in diameter. It was clear like glass. Inside was a large flame approximately 15 feet tall. I stood there and watched in amazement. It was totally silent. Then it floated over my house slowly and was gone. It was totally silent and emitted no heat. Strangely, my dog did not seem to notice it. Since that time, I have looked for pictures for something similar to this and have not found anything. I am on no medication. I have never had hallucinations. I still feel a certain sense of disbelief, but I swear I saw this thing. Even stranger, I asked them to visit me. No, I swear I am not crazy. I sit on my patio each night and gaze at the stars looking for constellations. Just for the heck of it, I asked them to show themselves to me if they were really up there. And boy did I get results within a couple of weeks. If necessary, I would be willing to pay for and take a polygraph test to prove that I saw this. I do not tell friends and family as they think I am crazy. I continue to ask but I have not seen anything like this since that date. Please let me know if other people have seen anything similar to this so I will know that I am not losing my mind. Thank you so much for all the good work you do.”

Kentucky MUFON State Section Director Bill Kidd closed this case as an Unknown-Other.

A Nevada witness at North Las Vegas reported watching an orb-like UFO followed by a high-speed traditional aircraft, according to testimony in Case 93459.

The witness and his wife were sitting in their backyard at 9 p.m. on July 18, 2018.

“We noticed a solid orange, orb-like object moving at 300-400 mph at approximately 10,000 feet in a northeast direction almost directly above the I-15 freeway leaving the Las Vegas Strip area,” the witness stated. “This object was trailed by a high-speed aircraft with traditional aircraft night lighting, which was trailing the object by about three-quarters of a mile, with red/green on wingtips clearly visible as opposed to the solid orange orb. I’m a pilot and this was no aircraft I’ve seen. This was witnessed also by my wife. I attempted some video, too much surrounding light for my shots to come out.”

Nevada MUFON State Director Sue Countiss closed this case as an Unknown-Other.

An Oregon witness at Hood River reported watching two cigar-shaped objects that stopped and hovered, according to testimony in Case 93708.

The witness was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her mother at 2:06 p.m. on July 18, 2018.

“I was in the passenger seat,” the witness stated. “My mom then pointed out two white lines in the sky. They were far off and too big to be an airplane. The lines were definitely not airplanes because there was no tail or wings. On a regular airplane you can make out the shape of it, but these were just straight white, cigar-shaped lines in the sky. They appeared to be headed eastward in a straight path before they stopped and started hovering. One of the cigar lines appeared to be flying below the higher-up cigar line and a distance back from it. Then after the higher-up white line stopped, the lower white line caught up underneath the higher-up white line and then ascended upwards to merge with the higher-up white line. At the time in my confusion, and while I was trying to figure out what the cigar-like objects were, I did not think to record. After the two objects merged, they moved northward, disappearing into a thundercloud, in which an airplane would not go. Also, I noticed the two objects were flying in close vicinity of each other, and I know commercial airliners do not do that. I guess I would describe the way that the objects were flying was as if they were formation flying. I witnessed this event in Hood River, Oregon, and the objects seemed to be flying over the Washington side of the water from where I was at the time.”

The witness did not feel like the objects were posing a threat in anyway.

“People in movies tend to make UFOs seem like these dangerous beings that come to Earth to solely kill humans. But these objects only appeared to be investigating the Earth below. I was not frightened by these objects, but instead I was left with many questions. What were they here for? Did anyone else see them? And what was the sole purpose of them coming to Earth? When my mom and I came home we told my dad and brother about the bizarre event. They did not believe us though. And because we don’t have any pictures or videos, this event will be nodded off as another illusion, human imagination, or for entertainment. And though I do accept that not everything on the Internet is real, I know what I saw, and UFOs are real. The UFOs that I saw were real.”

Oregon MUFON Field Investigator Kellie Graham and State Director Thomas Bowden closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

An Illinois witness at Massac County reported watching a bright light that moved to ground level, according to testimony in Case 93540.

The witness had just come home at 10:40 p.m. on July 17, 2018.

“Looked above my house at 45-degree elevation and saw bright light in the sky,” the witness stated. “Saw light move a little. It made me pay closer attention. As I watched the light it started descending. I thought was airplane crashing at first. As it came down it was like a leaf falling from sky fast. Halfway down, the light went out. Next thing I know spacecraft was hovering right in front of me. No sound. Stayed hovering for one minute then started moving away from me. No sound. Banked to the right. Made start-up sound swish noise. Took off so fast. Was gone out sight fast.”

A second witness filed as Case 93541.

“The time I got home around 10:40 p.m., I turned into my driveway with my boyfriend,” the witness stated. “I looked in the sky and saw the object. I said to him, ‘what is that?’ He said the same. I said maybe it’s a satellite. I parked. He got out to look at the sky. I stayed at truck getting stuff out. I heard him yelling ‘UFO!’ It startled me. I said, ‘what?’ about that time. I heard a noise like an engine starting. Ran beside the garage. That’s when I saw the object with the lights and the swoosh noise. Went above the trees and out of sight. I could feel the hair stand up on my neck. Scared me like I’ve never been scared before. It was hard to sleep that night. I’m scared to go outside at night by myself.  It was life-changing.”

A Canadian witness at Niagara Falls reported watching a hovering ball of light that produced two additional balls of light to form a triangle that quickly moved away, according to testimony in Case 93445.

The witness was not far from the Canadian side of the falls at 8:06 p.m. on July 15, 2018.

“I noticed a low-flying ball of light, orb-shaped, that was traveling very fast,” the witness stated. “Under 500 feet on a clear night. The orb-shaped ball of light was changing colors from red to orange. It abruptly stopped and another orb-shaped ball of light came from the orb that abruptly stopped and then another until there were three orbs of the same shape and size in a straight line. 1-2-3. The first orb that stopped, suddenly moved to the front of the line, and the middle orb moved directly above the two other orbs, to form a triangle of three lights. The three orbs then moved in a sideways pattern (altogether in a triangle) slowed, stopped and pulsated and then faster than any jet I’ve seen moved directly up and were gone. I’m not a fanatic but since seeing this have seen similar sights. If anything, I’d still say I’m a skeptic, but the night I saw this and the others after my blood runs cold. Almost like you can feel electricity in the air. I wasn’t the only one to see it or the lights after, but I’m hoping there’s an answer or truth to be found. Maybe this helps that come to light. Thanks.”

Canada MUFON Field Investigator Dan Jones closed this case as an Unknown-Other.
