The report, as filed
On 7/19/14, while vacationing in a cabin in the mountains just outside of Pigeon Forge, TN, I saw an unidentified object in the night sky. My niece and I were outside, on the balcony, it was overcast from the rain earlier in the day but was starting to clear. Suddenly, I saw a very bright white circular light behind the clouds, crossing the night sky at a very high rate of speed. It only took 2-3 seconds for the object to cross over from the ENE to the WSW. Because my niece was composing a text to her boyfriend at that moment, she didn’t see it.

That’s what appeared to be drones flying in a triangular formation however upon watching them they got way too high to be a drone and disappeared into the sky higher than plans until the Eye could no longer see

We observed several diamond shaped objects pass overhead as we watched them got brighter and dimmed to disappearing then reaper in a straight line until they all reached a spot where they got really bright and disappearing and never seeing them again. We were in a cabin on the second floor. At first I was only watching and had to get the attention of the other two people. Two of was intrigued and the other was terrified. Unable to move I asked for her phone to record it but she was unable to move petrified by shock I was only able to get there reaction by the time she gave me her phone they were gone. It was a beautiful clear night. The next day we all fought for no apparent reason. And we all three believe that the sighting was the cause.

September 23rd, 2017, I can't remember the exact time but I know it was between 8:30-10:30 PM, I saw a red & green "flash" hovering in the sky near Dollywood. It hovered in the same position for 30-45 minutes, at least that's as long as I saw it before I went inside. I briefly thought that it might have been some kind of drone, but the longer it hovered in the same place I believe it could have been a UFO. I didn't see those lights any other time besides that night, & I know for sure it wasn't a cell tower, radio tower, etc. because I had the same view in daytime.

I was looking out of our motel window. The assumed fireball entered my field of vision from the right (west) and disappeared over the mountains to the south. It seemed to be traveling west to east. There seemed to be no tail, smoke or other material coming from the fireball. The object was white and did not change colors or size. The sighting lasted 3 to 4 seconds.

The other two shot off slowly into the west and then slowly disappeared as well. We stood there looking and then all of a sudden two more reappeared out of thin air in the exact south location. This time these two stayed in single formation very close to each other they looked about the size of star. As they where coming from the south these two cane to a complete stop right over our heads and then shout to the west and disappeared. I've never been a believer in UFOs but tonight definitely changed my whole outlook on what has joined us here on earth. This is no joke. My whole family saw this and we also have three videos of this sighting. Also, while this was happening all five of my families cell phones lost service shut off and then came back on. I thought about it and started questioning what I saw, so I called our local airport and they where closed its a very small airport just for our little town so when they are closed it says on the recording there is no incoming or out going air craft so this was no normal aircraft we saw. This was 100 % a UFO.
