Ortonville, MI
What I have witnessed happens almost every night, so I cannot report a specific sighting. Noticed orange, blue, green, white orbs in wooded area behind home, approximately 114 acres undeveloped land, so no chance of another house near by. Observed them through binoculars and rifle scope and they are balls of light from golfball to basketball size. Even ventured into woods on few occasions and light source/orb will turn off or go out once I am within 50 - 75'. Every time. Sometimes they appear to move away or shrink before going out. They range from touching ground to 10 +- feet in air. Sightings have been fewer over last couple month and locations change without rhyme or reason. Few appear same location every night and some nights there are many more than usual. Attempt to make contact with, first, flashlight, high powered LED and recently upgraded to laser light. The laser warrants a response by objects, gets brighter, appears to move closer and or away, reflecting/refracting laser light scattering it in all directions. Anyone else witness this in south east MI, Oakland County?? For some reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Franklin, TN
There were multiple craft seen almost in every direction for 2 hours or more. It was unbelievable. There were craft flying in formation, there were craft hovering, there was single UFOs at times that would go from sitting still to shooting off at great speeds. There was also tons of airplanes in the area that looked like they were flying in search grids it looked like & that went on for about an hour or more and then died down & went back to a normal minimal amount of air traffic. I was with my brother & his two sons & we all saw most of the activity. I say most of the activity because my nephews are quite young & would excitedly just look around in all directions & not quite focusing on specific parts of the sky at times, but I know they saw quite a bit of the unusual activity. I have watched the sky for many years looking for anomalous activity & would be lucky to see one unusual light in the sky for just a few seconds before, but this amount of activity f! or the duration of time tonight was beyond mind blowing. My brother and I were like two excited kids as all this happened tonight.

South Daytona, FL
On August 2, 2018, at approximately 20:00 I observed 8-9 floating amber lights looking up to the South and East of Magnolia Avenue in South Daytona, FL. The lights appeared at about 90 degrees above the horizon as I was riding along in the car with my Mother we both saw the object simultaneously they did not seem to move much if at all more of a hover all 8-9 objects were twice the size of stars and the lights all went out at the same time after about 45 seconds to 1 minute. For some reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Florence, KY
I was driving down Mt. Zion Rd. about to pull into my neighborhood. It was not dark yet and very much daylight. As I continued driving, I saw a bright blue orb of light appear about low cloud level. It looked as if the blue orb of light came from no where, it was stationary then took off at an unbelievable rate and disappeared.

Akron, NY
Awoke 5:35 a.m., hearing noise/soft pattern lights outside, thru west-open window, like loud mass of insects- buzzing, and my 9yr. grandson got up from same on 2nd floor and saw unknown object a few seconds (much to describe).

“V” of about 30 lights going south....stars in center of V looked distorted when craft moving ... HUGE whatever it was then it disappeared in an instant. ????? Didn’t keep getting smaller and smaller like birds or planes do.

Houston, TX
My oldest sons, 18 and 19, are the ones who recorded this time. They were not sure if it was a plane or not. But it obviously isn't. Above my mothers house every night after 23:00 hours they come out the most. But I see them all day as planes. Like a hologram with a sound put out. But it changes shapes to fast and follows us.
August 1, 2018 · 10:00 PM · CIRCLE
Zebulon, NC
In my backyard, looked up into the sky saw what looked like 5 stars formed in a circle. Each "star" in the circle changed color from red to blue to green to orange to yellow, etc. There were five of these "circles" spaced all around the sky above me. It was a cloudy night but these circles stood out quite clearly. In addition to these circles, behind the clouds we began to see these flashing, different colored lights zig zagging across the sky and then suddenly disappear. The circles remained stationery in the sky and were there when we finally came in about midnight. We took pictures but when we saw them up close on our cell phones, you only saw a white dot with a red aura around them. They were very high in the sky. We saw them again, last night, August 4, at 10:00 p.m. Same exact thing except there were only 4 of them.

Brooklyn Park, MD
At around 22:00 EST I made my way outside and noticed a flashing bright red light to the north east. At first I thought it was just a plane but the object did not move. I went inside and grabbed my daughter to show her the object and when I returned the light had changed colors as well as the position of the light source but had not moved. I had two more adults join me outside to ask what they thought of the light. After two minutes of watching the light change color the object began to move at a seemingly instantaneous speed to the south west then slightly back north before heading south west again and stopping before the object turned to a red color again. While trying to get a better view of the object which was now behind a tree we could see the object go from a red color to a green and then to a white before disappearing after being visible for four minutes.

Fredericksburg, VA
I was driving from Culpeper, heading towards Fredericksburg, when a red lightning appeared. I thought that it might have been Mars since it was supposed to be really close to Earth the previous day, but the light slowly dimmed out completely. Then 3 minutes later, its appears again, but this time a second one appears & after a minute of watching in disbelieve, both from brighter then dim out until they both disappear.

Ellington, CT
There was a glowing object somewhat low in the south/southwest sky that looked similar to Mars, only it was bigger than Mars or any other visible planet and it was not Mars (I found what was definitely Mars in another spot in the sky). I did not move. I used an app to figure out what celestial entity it might be, but nothing came up. It was definitely not a plane; it stayed in the same spot for at least 40 minutes or so before suddenly vanishing. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Cleveland, NM
On this evening I was outside on my phone, when I heard what I thought was a military cargo plane flying over. It wasn't. It was a giant drone. It was black and had green lights on all four arms. It was very loud. I could see it was a drone. It flew over my house and over the mountain it moved very fast. About 5 minutes later a small private plane flew by in the same direction of the drone. It scared me. A few nights later I could hear the noise of the cargo plane coming. I ran outside to see and it was the cargo plane but it now has green lights on it. Very strange. Cargo planes have red lights. Some friends of mine came by last night to visit and they mentioned to me that they were out the other evening and seen a huge drone the size of a full size pickup flying from the high country over to the feilds where I live. It was quiet according to my friends. It then flew back over the mountain. The drone I seen was big. Maybe the size of two full size pickups.

Naples, FL
Was driving down 9-51 / Collier Blvd. at 8:00 AM Wednesday, August 1st, 2018, on my way to work (approximate coordinates 26.177734, -81.686994), when I noticed a bright white spot on the large cumulonimbus clouds in the distance, which were a washed out hazy gray color. The spot was diffuse and formless from my point of view, and seemed to be either inside the cloud or very near to it. (relative size was about the size of a dime at arm's length) After about 5 seconds of the spot remaining stationary, it blinked out of view. It did not change its size or brightness in that time, it was there and then it was gone. My eyes were open the entire time.

Was working in the tobacco field when I looked over at another field I clearly seen this square sliver ship slowly come straight down and got pretty close to the tobacco. The same path it came down from, it used it to go back up into the clouds.

Stafford, VA
To whom this may concern, About a year and a half ago at 2:30am I woke up and heard helicopters. I looked out my window and saw a huge triangle shaped craft about the size of a 747, with only one light on the front it was slowly moving across the sky very low. I soon realized the noise was not coming from the object but the 2 choppers following it. I live very close to the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia . It only lasted about 15-20 seconds. My wife would not wake up so she never saw it. I told her about it the next morning. I’m only disclosing this in case maybe someone else might have reported it. It could help corroborate another sighting. What I saw was amazing and NOT normal. Best regards, ((name deleted))

Columbia, MO
It was early morning time, I got a phone call, I walked out on the back patio, I had been out for about 5 minutes. I just happen to look up because I heard a weird noise in the sky, sounded like it was behind me, so when I looked up, I seen what appeared to be a light grey white cylinder object just hurling along up in the sky, it was pretty far. Then it appeared to go straight into what was a white light, upon doing so, the white light or other craft, turned red like an incoming signal. It was really awesome and weird at the same time, I've never seen nothing like that before in my life. Not sure what it was but it was definitely not from any technology I've ever seen.

Wenatchee, WA
Very faint satellite crossing north to south at hypersonic speed, many times faster than a normal satellite. Powerful flash of light about every 15 seconds. It was going so fast that the flashes of light were an elongated tube of brilliant blue trailing the object with every flash. I watch the satellites regularly and it's not that common, but some will flash a powerful light. This one I'm talking about was hypersonic with a flash. Two years ago, my wife saw 5 different ufos over Wenatchee in a 6 night and day period, she reported some to both mufon and NURC. It got to the point that she was afraid to look up at the sky! There was an Air Show at Pangborn Airport over a month ago, and I was following a DC3 over Wenatchee with binoculars, when I spotted what looked like an aluminum pop can in the distance with one jagged end like a firecracker blew out one end.

Greenwich, CT
At first, we thought "wow 2 planes are getting very close to each other" (literally facing each other) until we realized one was an actual airplane and the other object then started to back away from the airplane, as the airplane kept going its original way the other light stayed in position after moving. As if they knew we were watching it stayed there still for quite a long time. Then we saw another bigger light falling (almost like an asteroid) we followed it since we were driving and there were no sight of landing (it seemed to have landed in the middle of the park) When we arrived home we looked up at the sky for a little and realized many tiny stars moving different directions and flashing...that's when i freaked out and went inside... could it have anything to do with the moon? it was huge last night!

Fort Smith, AR
In the directly Eastern Sky there were a cluster of red/orange orbs in various diamond/triangle formation. They would stay suspended in air. No movement. No change in formation. Then lights would disappear for a few moments and appear again estimated 50 to 100 yards more north or more south.
