Tinley Park, IL
2 red lights seen moving in perfect formation from east sky to west sky. Looked like helicopters in formation but moved very slow with out noise. Jets we seen flying above. Separation of lights was approximately 1500ft. Sparks-like material dropped from trailing light in Western sky then light went out. Second light stayed on for another minute then was turned off. Went back on for 30 seconds then disappeared. Was not a planet as those can be seen in picture. See similar reports from Tinley Park, IL, for August 21, 2004, and October 31, 2004. PD

Houston, TX
Was seen in Southern sky to the West of the Moon. Initially stuck out as a very bright star, second star to the West of the Moon, as it was completely stationary at first. I was on the phone with my wife who was 400 miles away in Edinburg, Texas looking up at the Moon in the same sky. We both saw the bright stationary star-like light begin to move north east. It continued to move across the sky over the house and and disappeared into the north east sky in about 30 seconds to a minute. We both saw it, from 400 miles apart. The light did not blink or flash.

Washington County ((city unspecified)), CO
Husband, wife, adult daughter and two teen children witnessed eight circular ufos. They were not in any formation that we could recognize. The few on either side of the grouping remained still while the three center ones, which were vertical, seemed to slowly shift. The one in the center of all, changed from circular to cigar. After changing, they all faded away one at a time.

Helena, MT
Appeared to be saucer shaped and possibly a tripod with some sort of disguise to be be sitting stationary like a street lamp. Distance was approx 350 yards from where I was parked at my friend's house. He seen it when it looked like a light pole but not the flight. Happened to fast to get a picture. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Statesboro, GA
Two bright metallic cigar-shaped craft flew silently about 300 to 400 feet over the neighborhood. They were silent. Travelling at an estimated speed of 250-300 mph. No wings, no stabilizers. No cockpit. Just solid gleaming metallic bodies. Estimated length is 50ft. Headed off to the North West.

Federal Way, WA
I was looking out of the window into the sky. I saw a red flashing light traveling across the sky, I thought it was a helicopter or plane at first but the way the red light was flashing/strobing was unusual. He travel across the sky and hovered for a couple seconds, then it curved to the right and hovered for a couple seconds and changed its direction and shot to the left and vanished. I saw what look like the same object again about 10 to 15 minutes later but I wasn't sure, I couldn't tell if it was a plane or not. I do live in a area where I see a lot of planes take off and land but it didn't look like a plane to me but I digress. But I definitely saw this object again about 20 minutes after seeing the first object, it flew over my head and was traveling faster than a plane or helicopter would, it had the red flashing light I saw on the first UFO, and it was star like, it banked to the left and the shape of it appeared to have changed as more lights on it appeared. I can't not say what the shape of this aircraft was because it was do dark and too high up for me to see, I tried looking for it through my telescope and was unable to point to the proper spot for me to see what it looked like. There was no sound coming from this object. I am always out looking for UFOs and other strange things in the sky's of Washington State and this is by far the strangest things I have seen here so far.

Owensboro, KY
Now let me get to a good story. I was sitting out back. It was about 1:30 early hours. I get this feeling and! look toward the gate. That’s when this huge Gust of wind came. It was a wind I’ve never felt before. Then I hear like a heavy medal door open and chanting. The chanting kept up for about 30 seconds then all the sudden everything gets real still and quite. That’s when I hear this evil voice start speaking so I hit record and have it on recording. I got scared and ran into the house so I can’t tell you how it’s ended. I can only play the recording. It’s was a very powerful evil voice. I have played this for a few people and they get freaked out. It this night when I started paying attention and noticed the ships in the sky. If there is anyone that would be willing to hear this recording I will be more then happy to share. If there is anyone that can answers my questions that would be great. It seems to me like something huge is about to happen. I even seen something beside the moon taking light or maybe getting solar from the moon. My name is ((name deleted)). I live in Owensboro, Ky, and am willing to talk to anyone. 270-((deleted)). Thank you and can’t wait to hear from someone.

Burnsville, MN
Got home from work around 3:30am. Decided to unwind on my back deck. Happened to look up while Star gazing. While doing so I happened to spot three very bright circular objects moving slowly across the sky in a triangle formation like nothing I’ve EVER seen before. These objects proceeded to hover over my house for about five minutes while I watched in PURE confusion, giving what I was witnessing. They all would move slowly back and forth over my house. If I had to guess these objects were just inside our atmosphere or right above it. Then one by one they took off and disappeared literally in the blink of an eye! LITERALLY! Like speed of light fast. But before they took off/disappeared they would slowly move back and forth before they did. I haven’t come forward until now giving how talking about something like this, or even claiming to have witnessed they unexplained, usually brings scrutiny and skepticism. Folks also would’ve thought I was crazy or super tired. But I wasn’t, I was way too wired to be tired. I was also sober as a whistle. I also didn’t know how to report something like experienced or that you even could. My regret from that night was being in too much of a shock to pull my cell phone out to record. I still don’t believe what I saw myself still to this day.

Stopping on a dime. Also had solid red green and orange lights and made no sound. It was amazing never seen that before and I have seen cool jets, choppers, and other things flying in the Marine corps. Thanks.

White Sulphur Springs, WV
I just got home and noticed a weird light in the sky. The light bounced around, picked up speed, and would slow down as it got closer to my house. There was also approximately five drones in the sky surrounding the area of my home. I went inside and about five minutes later everything lit up outside of my house and was back to darkness in about five seconds. Side Note: Most nights there is at least two drones flying around my house. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Magnolia, DE
I live near the Air Force base in Magnolia, Delaware, C5 and many other forms of air craft fly over my house about every half hour. This was not a plane. I was on my way home, and I saw four lights that could’ve been no more than 50-60 yards above my local fire station. I could only tell that the craft wasn’t moving until I found myself on what looked like the left hand side of the air craft. With that being said, it was completely silent other than a very very low “hum” sound. One of the strangest things as well was that it almost seemed like there were fumes or “distorted space” coming out of the bottom. I don’t really know how to properly explain that part. The craft looked like a peanut that was cut in half with the top half being completely round and the bottom half completely flat and just hovering in place. I realized that what I was seeing was very strange and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. After coming to this conclusion I sped over to the parking lot! that it was hovering above but very slowing moving towards a corn field that is only about ten yards from where it was above the fire station and literally in the time that it took me (about 15 seconds) to pull into this parking lot to take a video or picture it had just as silently but quickly flown about a mile and a half over the corn field and just above a tree line until it was gone. It was the single most incredible thing I have ever seen, I was shaking after being witness to what I saw. Wow.

Sandy Springs, GA
Walking with my girlfriend around our apartment complex, she looked into the cloudy evening sky and said, "What is that?" I looked up to see a large red light in the sky, sitting still. Within a couple of minutes, the object darted across the sky and stopped. The object began changing colors from its original red to white to green. The color change repeated for about three minutes before disappearing completely. The object reappeared in a different location and began moving again, this time moving what looked to be at a gradual speed. Before long, the object jerked, switched position and flew FAST, vanishing into the night.

I was speaking with a family member on the phone and walked over to my glass patio door to look outside. A bright object in the sky at about the 11:00 position and to the west caught my attention. That would put it over the Pacific Ocean. It was very bright, but was not shimmering like a star. I’ve seen Venus hundreds of times and this was probably 2 times the size of Venus. It was roughly diamond shaped (with no defined edges) and had an orange-ish tinge. It was also much too low to be a star as I could make out the thin, broken layer of high clouds behind it. So, my first thought was that it was a helicopter, especially given that there is occasionally police helicopter activity in the area and the altitude seemed about right. I continued to watch it, expecting that the object would turn/move soon and I would see its aviation lights, but it just remained in the same position for about 15 minutes. Then I thought I saw it wavering sideways just a bit, so I lined up the edge of a palm tree with the object, and sure enough, it had a very subtle back-and-forth horizontal motion to it. I never saw any aviation lights. I still assumed it was probably a helicopter, and I was still having a conversation on the phone, so I didn’t open the door to see if I could hear a faint rotor sound in the distance. Actually with all of the other city noise (i.e., nearby freeway, local traffic) and with the distance, listening for a sound from the object would have given an inconclusive result. I continued to watch it and was about to lose interest, when things got even stranger. The object faded out in place for a brief moment and then grew bright again, matching its original size and intensity. It was like a light bulb on a dimmer switch and you quickly turn down the voltage to the point where the bulb goes out and then you increase the power until the bulb is at full brightness again. At first I thought perhaps the effect was caused by clouds p! assing in front of the object, but again the clouds were much higher a nd quite thin. After a few more minutes, the object started becoming smaller and smaller, until it was a tiny spec in the distance. This had a very different visual look than the dimming. This time it appeared more like the object flew away at a level trajectory (further out over the ocean) and then stopped. This changed took only a matter of seconds. I watched it in the distance for a minute or so and thought there was nothing more to see, so I looked away for another minute or two. When I looked up at the sky again, the object was back, in the exact location described at the beginning of this report and with the same shape and brightness. After a few more minutes, it did the same maneuver again – appearing to move away very rapidly at a horizontal/level trajectory with the object becoming a tiny spec in the distance at the same location as before, except this time it completely disappeared. About halfway into this event, I noticed what were obvious airplanes (aviation lights visible) slowly circling far away from the object while it was in its original/stationary position. It seems that these airplanes had their approach to the San Diego airport interrupted. I say that because once the object disappeared as described above, an unusually high volume of airplanes started flying through the original area where the object was. These airplanes were clearly headed to the airport. //End of Report//

Stationary object reflecting sunlight. Got dimmer with sunset estimated elevation at 1000 to 1500 feet. No sound just hoovered in place for over an hour. It was near the fire that was burning here in Northern California.

Danville, IL
We were about to leave to go to my grandma's when my dad called for us to come outside. It was already dark out, keep in mind. I came outside with my other sibling. We observed an oval hovercraft, quite medium-sized and hanging low. It was a dark blue but I think that was because it was dark out and there was no light on it really besides the giant two lights underneath it. They were circular but they didn't cast light below, just seemed to glow on the hovercraft. I was attempting to bring out my phone but felt compelled to not take it out and record for some reason. After it had passed over the trees, I got my phone out and was confused why I couldn't take it out to record it when it was going by. It made no noise and traveled slow. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Chillicothe, OH
On the afternoon of 8/9/18, I was working outside on my farm listening to music on my LG cell phone. I had problems keeping the volume stable on my phone and received static when trying to use my bluetooth speaker. I gave up trying to listen to music and placed my cell phone on a plastic chair in the shade of a tree next to where I was working. I did not hear or see anything unusual on that day. Nearly a week later, 8/15/2018, while at lunch at work I discovered nearly 400 photos which I did not take and at first glance all appeared identical. The photos were taken from 14:00 to 14:30, and at closer look show a reflective object which remains stationary in the sky yet changing in appearance - perhaps rotating. The object appears for nearly 23 minutes in the photos. There are other photos that show a single light orb and a photo that appears to be 3 orbs in a formation. I am a 50-something, married mother of 3 adult children and a full-time registered nurse. I did not take any of the photos from 14:00 to 14:30 on the 9th of August. I am anxious to receive answers as to how my cell phone captured the "ufo" without human intervention and an explanation for the object that appears in the photos. I have spoken by phone with Mr. Davenport and have emailed him 3 of the hundreds of photos.

Downington, PA
I was walking my dogs at 4:45AM and I noticed an unusual grouping of lights in the southwestern sky, at about 25–30 degrees of elevation. Could not determine distance. Lights varied from red to yellow to green to white. What struck me was that the relative brightness did not change, so I assumed it was remaining stationary, as relative to my position and it also did not change its lateral position. It moved vertically until I lost sight due to clouds, I am sure of it being vertical as the light intensity and size of object did not change.

Sturgis, SD
At the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis in the campground in front of Bikini Beach. 4 silent crafts in very close formation and very low flew over at high speed. They were barely visible with only a glow, and so close it looked like they were only one craft. One craft on the left side broke off from the others straight to the left. Was like a fighter jet formation buzzing the campground, but silent and way fast! ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS)) Sorry about the confusing date, you got it correct though it was the 9th of this month. I also saw a bright light just sitting in the sky like a real bright “star” and then it started moving slowly down towards the horizon. This was on the 7th, a couple of nights before I saw the formation, the formation was just so awesome I had to look online and see if I could find any one posting about it, that’s when I found your site. I spottted this one at the house we were were renting at the house address listed below from my post in Sturgis. I watch the sky all the time and see plenty of satellites and this didn’t follow the normal path of any I have seen. Usually they just go straight out and disappear out of sight getting dimmer and dimmer, not down towards the horizon like this one. I recorded it but the file is too big to email on here, can I send you a sendspace link for you to download it? Not sure if you are familiar with there service but it lets you upload larger files and then I can send you a link to download. Or if you have another way let me know.

Started going down right over the tree line and was no longer visable. We called 911 and St. Charles County police in Mo. Came out after we reported it. We told them what we saw and they said the would look into it. We had no camera to take pictures all cell phones were inside. Did not have time to go grab a cell to snap pictures/videos. It was around 10:00 p.m..
