Tampa, Florida - September 2, 2009 - Witness noticed an object which appeared to be an elongated diamond-shaped box, fairly thick and long. The object was ahead of the witness as he was driving toward the northwest. Suddenly two cars sped by, appearing to chase the object. A white SUV and yellow sports car followed. The witness followed, but quickly lost sight of the object while continuing to follow the other cars. The object was then observed traveling in a southwest direction. The witness separated from the other cars (there were three by this time, as a maroon SUV had joined the chase). The witness continued home and, while getting out of his car, noticed a helicopter flying the same path as the object had originally been flying, before abruptly turning in a southwest direction. The witness further explained "When I first saw the object, I didn't know what to think, I just remembered wondering why a plane or a helicopter was so bright. I immediately realized it was moving far too slow for a plane, and with such a quiet neighborhood, I would have expected to hear something. Seeing the other cars chasing it from what seemed to be the direction the object was coming from made me take a closer look. That's when I noticed the odd glowing bottom which I had first dismissed as a trick of the light on my windshield, or a low cloud. Upon looking at it, there seemed to be lines all over the object, like sharp grooves along the surface, and the bright glowing red center which were three thick arch-shaped points of light that together formed a circle which had gaps between them. It was the shape of a diamond, but its thickness was probably a sixth of the length, which struck me as oddly thick. There were only very few clouds very high up, far above the constant altitude of the object."

Long Beach, California - September 2, 2009 - Witness observed what he at first thought was a blimp. While approaching an intersection the object almost looked like an enormous advertisement banner towed by a plane for those on the beach. There also appeared to be breaks in the solid shape. The witness estimated the size of the object to be twice the length and height of a B-52. The entire event lasted for approximately two minutes. Shortly afterwords, F-18 fighters could be heard accelerating from nearby Los Alamitos.

Charleston, West Virginia - September 1, 2009 - Witness was sitting on his front porch when he noticed a red star. As he got up he saw a circular object just above the trees. The object was rotating, and the lights were clearly going around, but the vehicle stood still, with absolutely no noise detected. Witness continued to watch as the object dropped slightly, then went to the left behind the trees.
