Summary:  UFO Mania of Youtube reported this UFO video today. This UFO was seen glowing and changing colors along a isolated road in Siberia this week. The object is very tall, about 3-4 floors tall. The person sees it and pulls over along the road, rolling the car window down, while still recording on their phone. Apparently the eyewitnesses got frightened and stopped only for a few seconds, before driving away. Many UFO reports and video do have glowing and flashing UFOs in them, and spheres are the #1 most common type of UFO seen.  Scott C.

Time:  04:44
Summary:  I was awoken at 4:44 am on 1/5/18, I sat up in bed and had an overwhelming sense of being watched. After investigating my apartment and finding no one. I noticed I could not find my dog. I then went to my bathroom and sat down on the toilet. Suddenly I was nude standing in what seemed to be a large cavern. In front of me was a 30 ft wide infinitely tall windowless doorless tower with a light emmting from behind the tower. The color of this light was of a hue I have never seen and therefore makes it very difficult to describe. I can remember the way the floor felt on my bare feet, it was cold and damp and gritty. Then I was suddenly in my bed again and in my clothes, wide awake the entire time. My wife who was asleep noticed nothing until I woke her up by grabbing hold of her and pulling her close to me. I have had bouts of nausea off and on since and images of extraterrestrials make me very uncomfortable now. To the point of causing chills and anxiety. The whole experience seems to have lasted a little over an hour according to the clock when I got up after the entire thing it was 5:59am. Although the whole thing only seemed to last 10 to 15 minutes total time remembered.

Summary:  I was standing in my driveway with my dog at 7:45pm in the evening. it was dark, i could see orion in the sky just becoming visible over the tree line. the temp. was around 10 degrees. as i was looking up at the sky, i noticed multiple lights coming toward me from the s.E. the lights were white, glowing. they were moving in what looked like a non-rigid, v formation. they seemed to be moving independently of each other. they were moving silently, relatively slow, flying at the same height as a small twin engine plane would. they made no sound at all. i counted 9 individual lights. as the lights passed over directly above me, the v formation seemed to flatten briefly, then form again as they were flying away from me. they were heading n.W. the lights never blinked or faded. there were no other visible colors. after approximately two minutes of viewing the lights, they continued in a n.W. direction, disappearing over the tree line. i could not think of an explanation for what i saw, i don’t know what they could have been. i was disappointed that i didn’t have my phone with me, i would have tried to take video of them. i stood quietly while watching the lights in order to absorb as much of the event as possible. after they were gone, i became excited about what i just witnessed.

Summary:  it was a very strange experience sighting. i was the only person at home. it was tuesday, january 9, 2018 at approximately 7:00pm. while in master suite bathroom, i saw a very bright, flashing light up in the sky, outside the large picture window at corner tub. i walked to the master bedroom french doors that leads to outside side patio where a hot tub spa is located. i stood in open doorway trying to comprehend what i am seeing. it was the brightest thing in the sky and ‘hovering’ and blinking, but never blinked off, but always staying a bright color. at times the color was blue, at other times the red, and sometimes a little yellow, but the prominent bright color was blinking crystal clear bright white. i kept watching it, not believing what i am seeing. it stayed in one place, but it would slightly move upward and little to the side. it was constantly blinking and very bright. it was far away, so i did not hear noise. it was there for approximately 2-3 hours. i immediately called my mom that lives next door and asked her to walk outside and look. she went outside and said she saw something also, she only stayed outside for a minute because it was cold. then i immediately called my sister, that lives in georgia. she walked outside, but did not see anything because trees. then i immediately called family, that was in florida visiting family and sent them video and pictures. i have been constantly thinking about what i have seen and had to do a painting of it. i am intelligent, never smoked or never any drugs, happy, hard-working farm and engineering occupation. i have looked every night at the same time to see if it has returned, but has been cloudy and still have not seen it again yet. thank you for your time. i have video, but would not attach to my email because too large. i can send video thru facebook, messenger, or dropbox?

Summary:  On january 10th, 2018 i was in bed watching netflix when i noticed out my window colourful lights in the sky, possibly blue, green, red, and yellow. i thought it was an airplane but didn’t notice any blinking. so i kept looking to try to figure out what i was looking at. i took out my phone and started recording. i zoomed in and noticed that it was a sphere that was breaking up into 3 smaller orbs that would all simultaneously rotate in a clockwise fashion and then come back together. this happened over and over for approx 2 hrs. i went back to bed and when i woke up and checked again 2 hrs later, it had moved north slightly. i was scared that if i kept filming or looking that “they would know” and come visit me, so i forced myself to go to bed. in the morning (7:30am) it was gone.

Time:  19:45:00
Summary:  While doing yard work i noticed a bright object in the nw sky at about 80 degrees. i went to a neighbors house to get additional witnesses. myself and two other people viewed the object through binoculars, i was also able to view the object through my telescope along with another person. the object is sphere shaped and appears to both reflect and emit light. i can’t say with any confidence the size or altitude of the object but it did appear to be rather high. as i was viewing the object through a telescope the two other witnesses were taking turns viewing it through binoculars. we noticed that it was moving in a small circle and at the same times a portion of the object was pulsating rapidly like a strobe light and at the center of it was a black hole. after about five minutes the pulsating stopped as well as the object. i had a good view of it through my telescope, crystal clear and close, it was amazing to look at. the sphere was perfectly smooth and had a bluish white glow to it. it reminded me of the glow from an incandescent light bulb. we were talking about how strange it is and wondering what it could be. one of the neighbors viewed through my telescope and said “i don’t know what to think of that, it does not look like anything from this world that i have ever seen.” after about ten minutes of the object remaining motionless it started breaking up into smaller parts starting at the lower section of the sphere and moving up.It formed four separate “arms” made up of smaller parts that arched up and around the sphere and met into a point above it, and then it was gone. it was hard to believe what i had just seen. i think about it often. this is an unusual event on it’s own. but, what makes it even more unusual and unique is that it’s not the only time i have seen it. i have seen the object multiple times at the same location, around the same time of the evening, and the same time of the year over the past several years. it’s definitely strange and one of the most amazing things that i have ever seen.I have had other impressive sightings of the object and have recorded them in a journal. i just chose one sighting that i consider to be one of the best.

Time:  19:55:00
Summary:  My husband and i were driving east on rte 192 somewhat east of canal s161a. this was approximately 7:55 pm on thursday night january 11, 2018. three lights in a triangle formation flew over the road and then over us as we passed under them. i turned to look out the passenger window, and didn’t see where they went. i assumed that they had belonged to a small plane that had descended below the treeline. when i first saw it i assumed it was a small plane going to land on some farm airstrip. but then i got thinking about the lights….The front one and the one closest to me were white and steady…No blinking. the light farthest from me was steady white and also flashing green. it seemed odd this thing had no red light if it was a plane. also the more i thought about it, it was pretty big if it was a plane…..It would have covered both east bound lanes easily if it was on the ground. it had been very low and slow, but no sound. i remember thinking that the pilot was pretty bold to be that low unless his airstrip was really close! i honestly don’t remember seeing anything between the lights…Like wings, a cockpit etc.. thank you for checking this sighting out!

Time:  21:00:00
Summary:  On the night of 1/13/18 was sitting on my back porch smoking a cigarette when a round large orange glow appeared over the north east horizon.. i thought the light was possible fireworks as it appeared over the neighbors house. but after there was no explosions,i walked into the yard and followed the glow as it appeared east of me and the object appeared to on fire. my thought was that it was a plane trying to reach the yuma airport but there was no engine sound and the object didn’t appear to be moving fast. i could see distinct flames coming off the object, but could not tell what was underneath the flames. the object continued flying south. i put out my cigarette came through the house to call my wife and went to the front door facing south where we both saw the object still glowing but not as bright. as it moved off in the distance the glow became faint and finally disappeared in the distance. this was not a fast moving object, i couldn’t tell what shape the object was, and there was no engine sound like a plane or a military jet using after burners.

Summary:  The two of us were walking south on miramonte ave, south of el camino real, in mountain view ca at 9pm on 1/18/2018 and noticed a stationary, bright, somewhat flickering star-like object near sirius. wondered it it was a star or planet. opened sky guide on ios and couldn’t find an object. then it started moving slowly upward, toward betelgeuse. super weird. i checked flightradar24 to see if it was a plane. it didn’t bring up anything in ar mode, and no other planes were in the immediate vicinity. it stayed stationary for a few minutes. we called a friend who lives a few few miles away and asked him if he could see it. he said he did. it started moving again, almost vertically above us, although it didn’t appear to get larger as it moved. then it went stationary again for a minute, then just disappeared. the whole event lasted about 10 minutes. i’m 47, and it’s the weirdest thing i’ve ever seen. included a sky guide screenshot, where i mocked up the path.

Date:  January 18 2018
Location:  Mercerville New Jersey
Time:  5:20 p.m.
Summary:  The anonymous man said he was on his back porch when the purported creature flew by on Jan. 18. “It was flying from the East towards the West in the Northwest direction at 5:20 p.m.,” he said. Reportedly, the unusual being had two sets of wings. “It had a regular one and another set of smaller wings at the end of its body.” The uniformly gray-colored body, the New Jersey resident added on a MUFON report, was slender and long and it was headless. “I couldn’t see a beak either. It didn’t have legs or feet. It was about 10 feet long and thin, like a snake.” Its wings, very thin and long, “moved like an eel or snake”. The reported creature was flying above the neighborhood trees when the eyewitness “lost sight of it”. He claims that it was not a drone, as it was not mechanical in nature, and that “it moved through the air like a sea creature would move through the water”. “I am familiar with anything that moves around us in our natural habitat,” said the retired police officer. “This was not any natural earthly flying creature.”

Date:  January 28 2018
Location:  Wilmington, about 15 mins south of Joliet Illinois
Time:  4:36 am
Summary:  I live in Wilmington, IL, about 15 mins south of Joliet. I frequent my outside steps in between 1-4 am pretty much nightly for a smoke or two, and I’m constantly observing the skies out of pure fascination. I only mention this because I have never in the year and 1/2 of living in this home experienced anything as incredible, yet terrifying, as this sighting! At exactly 4:36 am CT (Sunday January 28, 2018 local time) I was sitting on my step and I, of course, was looking up at the sky, when suddenly my eyes were immediately drawn to what appeared to be a weird hybrid mix of an owl and a bat. To me the size was approximately that of a large raccoon…I even would go as far as saying it was a bit larger. For some reason, I was frozen solid with my eyes locked on this thing. I found it weird that even with how dark it was outside it seemed close enough for me to notice details of it to the point of realizing that it appeared brownish/greyish in color and the wings had a bat like feel to them. I felt a little weird explaining to my husband that it was triangular and resembled the biggest moth ever. Instantly my head went to the Mothman no doubt! It was shockingly fast and it never made a sound…nor did it flap its wings. It just glided west and disappeared as fast as it seemed to appear. This creature even looked to have passed through a very old and very tall tree in my yard, and even though it was hard to obviously tell whether it went above my tree or literally through the branches, I still never heard even a small rustle from the breeze it would’ve created due to its speed. I apologize for the novel I am clearly writing, but I want to give you as many details as possible as I also have a couple questions about details from other noted sightings of this. The most interesting part of my experience is that I felt and still currently feel a sense of dread and impending doom, similar to anxiety but at the same time it felt like this creature perched itself onto my roof and was just glaring at me until I went inside. Whether this is true I don’t know for sure, but I’ve never felt watched like that before. After it had essentially disappeared into the night and I was in disbelief I started to hear what sounded similar to a bat screech but with a lower tone, and definitely sounded much larger than a bat. It happened twice within about 5 seconds apart from each screech and I then booked it inside to explain it all to my husband. It is currently 1 hour since the sighting and I still feel as if I’m being almost preyed upon. I am very curious to know if others who have contacted you have had similar dreadful feelings and/or heard these screeches? The description of the winged being was that it had a triangular shape…reminiscent of the 2011 photo from 8/22/2011 at 63rd and Pulaski Rd in Chicago, IL. The witness says that the being was flying at an altitude of approximately 50 ft. and anywhere from 4-5 ft. in length. The wingspan was approximately 5 ft. on either side of the body, which was thin and dark in color. She also noticed a sheen on the body…like it may have had reptilian-like skin and wet. The wings were membraned like a bat, but shaped like that of a huge owl. She was amazed at how quickly it glided and that it did not flap its wings or make a sound.
