Square-shaped craft seen and photographed in California
February, 7, 2008 - Murrieta, California, United States
When I looked up there was a very large square-possibly triangular, depends if I was seeing it at an angle, machine/craft whatever you want to call it. It seemed to be spinning from right to left and making slow banking maneuvers.... To describe the object I would have to say it looked like a huge pizza box with lights on two of its seemingly 4 side panels that were opposite of each other. View full report

I had just enough time to take a picture on my camera and then I got one on my cell phone right before it "disappeared". View full report

Multiple pilots witness large object near Guernsey, United Kingdom

It was 2,000ft up and stationary,’ one of the pilots said. "At first, I thought it was the size of a 737. But it must have been much bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as much as a mile wide." View full report
