Disc / Saucer Shape
Silver saucer-shaped object hovering motionless over Grayslake, IL
January, 17, 2007 - Grayslake, Illinois, United States
Silver saucer/disk shaped object hovering in the sky completely motionless at about 6000 feet. "It appeared about ½" in size [relative/angular] as I watched through the windshield. The object was saucer-disk shaped and very silver, the sky was clear and its definition crisp, no movement at all; it appeared as if someone held up a silver plate in the sky... it was close enough to plainly see it was not any recognizable aircraft or a balloon, it was a silver saucer.

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

May, 27, 2006 - Northbrook, Illinois, United States
"Discs were white looking. The discs were not bright, but rather dull white appearance. They definitely were not lights. The outstanding observation of the white discs was that they all had some size, and were perfectly placed between each other and in front of each other, making a perfect triangle (in inverted Christmas tree)."

Night watchman observes disc-shaped object over lake
April, 25, 2006 - Waterhen Lake , Saskatchewan, Canada
"It's kind of like a Frisbee, two Frisbees on top of another, like an orange in the middle," he said. "And they were turning at an incredible rate. It was just like you could see the windows turning one way and the ship, the bottom part, turning the other way. And whatever way on top it was like glowing. I don't know what it was but it was beautiful." Lapratt said he saw several objects landing on the lake, then zipping away at high speed toward the treeline. View full report

Three witnesses spot saucer-like object with windows
December, 30, 2005 - Astoria, Oregon, United States
my impression was that of a saucer-sort of shape, with porthole-type windows with cross-bars. I could not discern the shape of the whole object, though, as the light from the windows was so blindingly bright. The description of having a saucer-like appearance is strictly an impression from my quick glance. Strangely, the windows seemed a little squared, and there were at least two, probably three, of them. View full report
