For two days, witnesses had seen multiple objects in the sky. They appeared like stars, but clearly move and pulsate. They reported 4 objects last night (5th). It was as if they were in a grid spreading out for many miles over the sky, zigzagging in various directions, but always returning to a fixed spot. Four of the witnesses saw the same thing. They reported over ten airplanes flying at various heights during this event and even saw space debris or satellites that went close by where these objects were.

Ellensburg, WA
Was driving from Yakima wa to Seattle when I pass over the last hill seeing Selah, WA, is when I seen 3 big lights just hovering next to the highway. The lights looks like to can make up one ufo, I could tell it was big base on the fact that I can notice the semi trucks on the other side of the valley to compare it to, so I speed faster trying to see what was that, I know other people seen it too because they had pulled over. As I pass the next hill I couldn’t see it till it came out of no where again next to the freeway, but the opposite side where I last seen it but that’s where I can see it more clearly of 3 lights (Orange Color Like a peach), that’s where other cars was starting to slow down from 70mph to about 25mph, but then it seems to have gone over the hill again, the light seems like there was a heavy fog around the lights as if the fog was the ones making it light up. as I gone once more over the last hill when u get the see the beautiful town of Ellensburg. I couldn’t spot it no more, and was trying to wrap my head around on what I just witnessed. As I kept driving and wondering the big question, I seen the ufo no doubt, was a different light, a straight light of lights (white) behind the trees, I near crashed And trying to keep my eyes on it, and slowed down again but lost it and then again as I stop, just gazing at it as if it was all true, the classic looking disc shaped ufo, others I seen it too as I rush for the last time to the exit to thorp wa (the town after Ellensburg, WA), it was out of site. On top of each hill where the lights come over, I notice 3 Cars stop as of they had lost power to there cars and the last hill I seen a semi truck With its hood open and power off Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright light seen in sky that moved slower than a shooting star, but faster than the 2 planes that were traveling closer in the atmosphere. Light turned, leaving a small trail behind, and then went further into space disappearing in less then 5 seconds. Approximately 60 degrees away from Mars.

Was viewing Jupiter thru 30 power scope on total station. I saw a bright white light about as bright as Jupiter and tracked it for a while as it headed west to east (heading was about about 90 to 110 degrees). Last seen thru scope angle was 203d 21' 54", elevation 27d 13' 11" (from my location at 48d, 46' 58.1", -117d 17' 16.5", ne of Ione WA). Object did not have any flashing navigation lights and I went outside to listen for sound and could hear nothing, no wind. It traversed my field of view about 5 degrees west and above jupiter to the hill to my south east in perhaps less than 35~45 seconds.

Weaverville, NC
My wife and I were walking west on our street around 9:30 tonight. As we continued we could see an orange glow through the trees. When the trees cleared we could see several (5-7) orange lights grouped tightly together. We continued walking and watching the lights and thinking what the hell is that. We stopped at the cul de sac to see if the lights were moving. They were slowly moving right in the western sky we think over 1000 feet in the air. The lights moved away faster but low on the horizon and finally disappeared. Our guess is that it lasted 8 minutes. We didn't bring either of our phones. We came back to the house and I looked up UFO on the internet, and I found your website.

Scottsdale, AZ
1450ft above sea level. Viewed from 33°36’48” N x 111°52’35 W Viewed with a naked eye Numerous unidentified “aircraft” shaped objects above North Scottsdale, Sunday, August 5th, 2018, at 8:48 p.m. The initial object was a solid bright orange, not flashing, then the orange disappeared and was replaced by what appeared to be all dark with a spotlight being adjusted. This object was moving NE to SW, then changed direction and moved W, it flew at increased and decreased pitch like a greater-than-less-than symbol. Several airplanes appeared shortly after and began flying towards the object, at which point three additional objects that appeared to look like Military Drones, as they were torpedo-shaped but with large bat or seagull shaped wings. As it was dark outside, I determined shape by looking at the cast of the light. Eventually a fourth object that was solely a golden Naples-yellow color appeared where previously I had identified Venus as being with the use of the SkyView Application, as if the lights were just turned on, and then the object began traveling quite slowly North to South. All of the objects with the exception of the identifiable aircraft were silent, and no wind sheer could be heard. The initial object appeared to be around 15,000 feet high, while the other objects appeared to be above the 38,000ft altitude most commercial aircraft fly at. Then at 9:35pm what initially appeared to be a military aircraft, silently jettisoned across the sky very quickly, North to South, before eventually turning and heading East also seen from Scottsdale. Though initially it appeared to be a military jet with traditional lighting for perhaps a Stealth plane or an F18 Hornet, then the lights suddenly vanished and a golden light overtook the silhouette of the aircraft and instead of traveling East it made a full loop very quickly as if traveling faster than anything I’d ever seen before, at which point a loud guttural sound was heard, perhaps it was an antique military craft, but all observations do not support that theory. Throughout the totality of the event a plethora of sounds could be heard from airplane, to jet sounds, to sounds similar to motor boats, as well as sounds similar to Electronic music synthesizers. The initial observer and his fiancée are a 34 year old man and a 33 year old woman ,residents of Scottsdale, who is originally from Chicago and recently moved to Arizona in 2017, initially moving to Wickenburg before moving to Scottsdale on 1/118. The man is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago and has a degree in Art History and has a passion for art, fashion, photography, wildlife, poetry, literature, history, Geology, Lapidary, Nature, and Politics. The woman studied Pre-Med at Northwestern University Chicago and received an additional degree in Creative Non-fiction from Pitzer College, California, she top shares many of the same interests, and they both work in high fashion retail management. The third observer is an Arizona native, 35 years old, with a history of drug abuse and extensive criminal background, the fourth observer is also an Arizona Native who works in Engineering and Refrigeration, lives in Scottsdale and enjoys off-roading. He is 39 years of age.

I was wiping my car down by my detached garage and my telescope was set up just outside my garage door. Across from me, was another set of detached garages for the units in my condo complex. I noticed a object that was slowly flying at a distance but visible just above the top of the garages. I noticed a white light in front and a red light in the back with the red light elevated higher than the white light. I found that to be very odd. I went to my telescope and located the top of the end of the last detached garage and worked my way back till I found the object. The object was as clear as day. It was a saucer shaped object, very metallic looking. The reason the red light was elevated was because the saucer was flying at a angle, the front of the saucer was pointed downwards and the back of the saucer was upwards to give that look of how the lights looked. I stayed on it for about 6-8 seconds till the trees were in the way. It was the first time in my life I actually saw a flying saucer.

Object was an orb at tree level, size of basketball. This was in the woods, no one else there besides us 2. The orb glowed orange/white color and "danced" aimlessly 5-25". Was not a flashlight, flashlights make objects light, this was it's own light source. Light itself was a glow, though not bright, and contained to only the object, nothing else was lit by it.

I’m extremely excited about seeing something of this magnitude as I have always wondered about the presence of UFOs.

This photo is of some thing of the uap persuasion and we are seeing things of this sort a lot. Nightly. Sometimes the occurrences can be several times a night and they will get very close to us. At times the distance can be as close as 60 yards. This has become so very common place that we don’t really pay the any attention now. However it should be said that we border “public land “ and it would almost seem like mining equipment of an unknown origin is being used at night only.

There was a bright light that was about as high as a satellite, but was much larger and very bright, it was traveling from west to east, after about 45 seconds the light appeared to be moving in more of an upwardly direction until the light became too far away to see.

Vero Beach, FL
While at ocean, saw a star suddenly move fast into a cloud, it did not blink. Then a few minutes later we saw another star move from right to left and go fast into a different cloud. The clouds left, then what appeared to be 2 meteors moving from right to left glowed brilliant white and became very large before disappearing. There were strange pulses of light on the sky, no clouds around and different than heat lightening. Then at 10:30 2 large lights turned on in front of us over the ocean under the triangle of stars where some of the other things were seen. The lights blinked slowly on and off for a couple minutes, we tried to record them but they could not be recorded despite the brightness and size. I had recorded Mars to the right, east southeast a few minutes prior and the lights were bigger and brighter. My phone stopped recording, I tried several times to get a video. After a couple minutes the lights turned on left one first then the right one, on and off for a couple more minutes. The whole time there was no sound from them and they were stationary, they did not move, they stayed under the triangle of stars the whole time. An airplane came from the north toward the lights and they disappeared. The lights from the plane were smaller, blinking faster white and red. Suddenly there was another plane heading towards the area. We stayed another fifteen minutes and then left. I thought the 2 lights were on an enormous craft. Holding a ruler at arm's length, the lights were 20 inches apart.

On first Saturday of August a female friend and her 11 year old son and I went to Jaycee Park on ocean in Vero Beach Florida. It was 9 pm and raining. At 9:15 it cleared up and we sat in beach chairs in the sand. There were some clouds and the first thing we saw was a white object going S to N between two clouds and only visible for 2 seconds. At 10:20 the mother told her son to concentrate to try send a message. The boy had previously seen lights at age 6 and 7. One time they saw the bright light which left at extreme speed near their house together. At 10:30 two bright lights appeared and were flashing. They were approximately 3" apart holding hand out in front of face. They were visible for 2 to 3 minutes, and when a plane light was encroaching, they went out.

4 orange orbs low in the sky. They were stationary and silent. They were in a diamond like pattern and disappeared instantly. We were kayaking on Seneca River just north of the bridge on Plainville Road when we spotted them over a farm field.

East Tawas, MI
In East Tawas, there is a State Pier, and in order to get my steps in I decided to go for a walk on it. When I first started my walk I noticed a orange colored star way out by the point of the bay and thought it was just that, a planet or a star. As I reached the end of the dock I realized it was the only star I had seen the whole time and decided to see which star it was with an app on my phone called “SkyView” but there was no name or object in it’s place. I thought this was odd and realized it was even more odd because there was a cloud cover which didn’t let me see a single light in the sky except that one. I stayed longer and took as good of a picture of it as I could with my phone and decided to walk back home. The way the dock is made is it has corners offering different view points of the bay and I noticed as I was walking back this object stayed in exactly the same spot and I get I was viewing a different angle of it because it was not moving with me, like a normal obeject in space. I watched it until I got off the dock when at this point I glanced down to mess with my phone, and upon viewing back to where I saw the object, it was gone. The object appeared to be a perfect sphere and was a fiery orange color. I was viewing this against a black sky that was filled with clouds making it the only light in the sky.

At first I thought it a shooting star when I saw it the first time, but when it happened again last night, I thought it too weird and decided to share it with you.
