Large, silent triangle-shaped craft over Alaska
October, 10, 2006 - Knik / Point McKenzie, Alaska, United States
From the witness: " It was as at least as big as a 747. I put down my window and there was no engine noise. I tried to turned off my radio. I hit the off button twice and the radio came back on so I turned off my car. Still no engine noise from the craft which at this point was about 300 ft. to 600 ft. in altitude and approximately 1/4 of a mile from me. At this point the craft turned right. That's when the outline of a triangle shaped craft was visible because there was a whitish glowing light. That's when I knew this was not like any aircraft I have ever seen before." View full report

Dark, metallic disk observed over San Francisco Bay, California
November, 5, 2006 - Tiburon, California, United States
From the witness: "We own some fairly high power binoculars so I quickly retrieved them and attempted to fix my gaze on the object in question... I could see the object clearly. It was a perfectly round dark colored disk (flat, no bulges) and it was in constant motion doing gentle and slow “figure eights” tilting and banking and turning slowly. There were no markings on the exterior, no exhaust ports, no lines or markings of any type... the object appeared to be about 30 to 50 feet wide... I guess that the object had a metallic exterior surface." View full report
