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

Uknown object photographed in Indiana
January, 31, 2008 - Indiana, United States
From the witness: "I noticed what I immediately thought was a helicopter about 300-400 feet away, just across the street and above the tree-line... it hung around for 2 or 3 minutes after I noticed it... not moving or flashing or anything. The only thing I noticed was a sort of wavy-ness of the air surrounding the object... 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
