Portland, ME
At approximately 10:30 PM Eastern Standard Time (3:30 AM UTC) two fast-moving objects were spotted in the sky directly above Portland, Maine. The two objects initially followed identical linear trajectories through the night sky, separated by about 5 degrees of arc, coming into sight directly overhead. The two lights were point-source, with brightness similar to a dim star. At an incredibly high altitude, the fast-movers paralleled each other with great velocity – much faster than any satellite could travel while still maintaining orbit, and much faster than any known commercial or military aircraft. Around 4 to 5 seconds after visual contact was established, the two objects immediately jutted to the left and to the right to cross paths with each other moments later. The movement was seemingly impossible and violated laws of conservation of momentum, as an extremely large external force must’ve been present in order to move them in such a way. After crossing! paths, the two objects returned to their original distance of separation and, with the same seemingly-impossible course correction, returned to their linear trajectories. Two other witnesses and myself maintained visual contact until light pollution from the nearby city of Portland caused us to lose contact. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach me at this email or contact ((name and # deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. PD

Columbus, OH
As it reached a position nearly due south of us, it turned north (as jets typically do to make their final approach to the airport). When it cleared the trees, it was obvious this was no jet. It was a steadily glowing orange object, no sound, no blinking lights and no sign of navigational lights. This is when I called my friend's attention to it. We watched it reach an angle of about 60 degrees in altitude from where we were standing, it stopped and hovered, emitting a bright and steady orange glow. There was no "beam" as typically seen from a helicopter search light, just the steady, unchanging glow. After hovering for about 10 seconds, it began to slowly move back southeastward and the glow gradually dimmed until it was just a faint speck. After it disappeared, we sat back down and tried to find a logical explanation for what we just saw. It was about 2 minutes later, it reappeared again coming north almost straight toward us. Once it cleared the trees, it stopped and hovered near the same location for about 10 seconds before nearly retracing its path in a south-southwest direction and dimming till we lost sight of it. This occurrence being between 10 and 11PM, the neighborhood was very quiet so it was easy to discern that there was no sound created by the object. There were no other lights on it, it did not leave a trail.

Van Buren, MO
My girlfriend and I were laying facing up in our tent camping at Watercress Campground. My girlfriend said she saw a falling star. I dismissed it as falling stars shoot across the sky and fade out. Then a few minutes later she said there it is again...I looked up and saw a star like light moving slow then suddenly it got VERY bright and faded away in a circular fashion and disappeared. I will never forget it. It was a strange night because although the sky was completely clear I kept seeing bright flashes of light that was exactly like lightning lighting up entire sky and rumble of thunder but it was clear with zero clouds. So weird. Never rained or clouded up or anything. Cannot explain it and I am a skeptic. It was amazing. After that happened I grabbed my GoPro and aimed it at the sky and set it to night time lapse. I left it all night. I have the photos it took but I do not know how to plug the still night photos into editing software to see it in action. It recorded for a few hours at least maybe more before battery ran out. It will be fun to watch if I can highlight the stars...at least to see the weird flashes like lightning.

Arcadia, OK
When turning our horses out into the pasture at approximately 9:45 pm, my wife and I looked up and saw a large craft, approximately 300 feet long and 2500 feet high, moving slowly from SSW to NNE. It made a very low none engine sound. Did not sound like a jet. The craft was moving extremely slowly, with 3 white lights in front in a triangle formation, and 4 white lights in the rear in a perfect square, the space between the front and rear lights was black with no stars visible. Had one red light flashing in the bottom center of the 4 white lights in the rear of the craft. Also observed flashes of light in the area until craft was no longer visible overhead.

Small purplish light, too large to be an aircraft, too slow-moving and too early in the evening to be a comet. Noticed it mid-sky and it disappeared over the horizon. Seen arching across 195 westbound near Vinnicum rd. Did not check time but was around twilight/dusk.

Palm Springs, CA
We had come back from dinner, and I noticed a 5 point stick figure star over the San Jacinto Mountains. When we got in, I went into the back yard with my ipad and started filming it. It just looked like a bright light that changed in its brilliance. My husband came out with his canon hd vixia HFM31 camera, and started filming it. The object did not move, as in the video. That was his movement. He had it on zoom and did not alter the setting. The object seemed to come closer and retreat. You can see on the video, the shape and changing shape and color of it. When he went inside, several minutes later, I observed it to just disappear. It did not fly off.

Barre, VT
There appeared to be fireball type objects moving across the sky in groups from the east. First there appeared 4 in a diamond formation that came overhead and tailed off to the left and faded out. Then about 8 orange fireballs came overhead and again tailed off to the left and some appeared to fade out and others kept moving out of sight. Finally a couple more came overhead, appeared to slow down, and then proceeded to the west. The objects were silent and appeared to glide.

I was walking to the post office with a friend and I looked up into the blue sky and saw a UFO in Brigham City, Utah, at about 8:50 PM this evening ( 7/13/18). It was a black egg or oval shaped object, and quiet. My friend went back to get binoculars and the object was slowly and gradually getting higher in the sky and got progressively smaller until it was a speck in the sky.

Tampa, FL
Have had many odd spiritual/other kind experiences; standing outside grilling with some friends and I get this urge to look straight up and I immediately focus on a light moving through the sky. This light was a star. It was outside of our atmosphere and if it was standing completely still you would recognize it as a star. Problem is, it was not standing still but moving in irregular, non-human patterns. No piece of human technology known could make a movement like this. I knew what it was instantly but wanted everyone else to check it out to confirm; once they saw it, they started trying to explain what it was. “It’s a drone.” “It’s a plane”. Those objections only lasted a few seconds as we stared at it cross the sky in the same irregular patterns. One person freaked out and went inside. The others sat and watched as it slowly disappeared and after we discussed what we had just seen. Please tell me someone else in the Tampa area saw this?

Birdsview, WA
I was camping with family at a private members-only campground on the Skagit River, near Birdsview, WA. Our camp site is located on the Skagit River, about 400 feet from the river and in mostly old growth forest. I have been camping at this location for 8+ years and at this campground for 25+ years and have never seen anything strange at night. We turned off all light sources and no one else was camping nearby. Our fire was out when we went to bed. I was awakened by my young daughter sleeping next to me inside our large tent, who was having a bad dream. I noticed what appeared to be a bright moon beam hitting the top of out tent, but as it turned out, this was a night of a new moon (no visible moon). I turned around and then noticed white lights projected onto the outside of our tent, dancing near the roof of the tent. I could see leaf silhouettes from a nearby tree outside our tent. The overall effect of the projected lights was that it appeared to be fire-like, moving quickly and morphing rapidly into various wispy shapes. The color of the lights was white interspersed with light yellow. I had the impression that somehow my camp fire had reignited and was casting shadows on our tent, but the height of the shadows and angle of the leaf silhouettes was too high to be such a reflection. After a minute the lights changed to two horizontal rows projected onto the outside of the tent, near the top of the tent wall where it meets the roof. These rows were about 4 feet long and 8 inches high, and extended past the edge of the tent. The rows were comprised of many rectangles (maybe 5 inches x 8 inches) with diffuse edges. I also noticed that other lights were projected onto the roof of the tent but I could not see any details since the dark maroon-red rain fly was covering the roof. I had two ear plugs in that I then removed to check for noise, but the forest was extremely quiet and I could hear nothing. I examined the light projections closely and noticed that the rectangles were moving and overlapping each other, and each rectangle was a slightly different hue. The rectangle edges were rapidly moving and they appeared to be comprised of hundreds of frantically moving vertical lines, when I examined them for several seconds. The lights then grew dim and stopped two or three times before coming back brighter and with additional rectangles extending up to three feet below the two horizontal rows. After another minute or two I climbed completely out of the sleeping bag and kneeled in the middle of the tent, waiting for some sort of escalation or attack. I did not wake up my wife or two young kids since I did not want them to see the lights and be scared. I thought about unzipping the front door of the tent and looking outside but this is where the lights were coming from and I feared that doing so might escalate things in a negative way. As my daughter continued in a sleep-walking state and began whining and climbing toward the bottom of the sleeping bag, as if to get away from the lights (which later she said she never saw), the lights suddenly stopped and went pitch black. Then they started up again for a few seconds and stopped, and did this once or twice more before suddenly ending. Within a few seconds my daughter then woke up and announced she needed to go to the bathroom outside. I was afraid to go outside so soon after this incident, but grabbed a flashlight and took her outside and behind the tent. I searched the sky, trees and area with the bright LED flashlight but noticed nothing unusual. The sky was amazingly clear and many stars were visible. I also noticed that our fire had somehow reignited and a small flame was leaping out of a log and creating a strobe effect, which was visible well above our camp site since the light from the fire could be seen across the bottom of the old growth canopy. This fire-like strobe effect was one of the images projected on the tent wall when the lights first began. I had the strange feeling that we were visited by something that resembled an animal that was scouting up and down the river for something. However, this "animal" somehow emitted lights with patterns. The animal may have seen the strobe effect from our fire and came down for a better look. This is just my impression. We did camp in the same location for the next 5 nights, without anyone noticing the lights again. I did examine this situation for the possibility of a drone prank, but the old growth canopy would have been very difficult to navigate and the incident happened in the middle of the night. I checked with a few trusted local sources and no one had ever heard of drones in the area, or of similar incidents. Please note that there have been several big foot sightings in this same area, and that an old Native American Indian burial ground resides in the area of our camp site, though the exact location is still unknown. We have installed a game camera to capture video or photos, in case the lights return.

Thought at first we were looking at satellites until we watched them move closer tjen away and back. Then they moved from one side of the bay to the other. Could watch them change altitude and almost seem to be playing with each other. Have a couple pictures and video of all of it.

Rutland, OH
Sometime in July 2018 in Rutland, Meigs County, Ohio. In the sky above my property was a Formation of what looked like stars moving through the sky slowly. They appear to look like stars in the sky but they are not. They are capable of expanding in size, yellowish orange in color. From a distance they look like stars but at close range they look like an Orb of Light or some type of Being that changes in shape and size. These Ufo's do Not look mechanical or machine like. I have first seen these Ufo's in 2013. They seem to follow me. Anyhow, summer of 2018, I heard noise on my roof. I locked the doors and looked out my peep hole and seen what I believe to be one of the Grey Aliens looking at the door. The weird thing was that this left a green glowing light from itself. I had a family member look through peep hole to see if they could see it and the only thing they were able to see was the Green light. This light had no point of direction. Later on that summer seen some short 2 dimensional Aliens in my house. I was only able to see these particular ones only when I looked through a small magnifying glass. I have had a lot of strange experiences throughout my Life with Demonic Entities from other Dimensions.

I just got into astronomy and I got 20x80 binoculars scanning to the north the first object darting past really really fast but I kept on it at first I thought a shooting star until it stopped dead.it then disappeared.thinking i lost it I glanced not using the binoculars not believing what i just saw .and then I seen in the same path a slower object bigger and dimmer then the other it actually disappeared then reappeared further down where I lost the first. then I seen the which looked to be the first object just appeared like waiting for the slower bigger and dimmer object.as soon as it caught up they both flew off very quickly and flew behind trees in the distance which was high and looked to be pretty far but close enough to see with the naked eye.just amazing. I'm so happy I took this hobby up. I can't even sleep now. I'm still so excited.

Estero, FL
One circle comprised of 4-5 lights. Stationary. Initial faint object(s) caught my eye due to faint flicker. After staring for a few minutes, and writing off as a plane (even though it was 1:45 am), flicker became slightly more clear. Object remained stationary, but flickering colors began to change after a few minutes. white...then red...then green...then blue. Was sometimes three lights flickering, some were four, some flickers contained five. It was a slower flicker, and again, location of circle of lights never moved position. I watched for close to 45 min, then went back inside. Came out again 20 min later, and dark sky had three long vertical grayish clouds (easily 20-30 size of footprint of original circle). Object was gone.

China, ME
As we were watching, there was a metal clanging noise and the green lights were no longer below the white light, they were now above it. Then, as I was watching the white light dropped from the sky, leaving the green lights in the sky. It dropped too fast for it to be a person on a ladder or stairs and too slow for it to be a fall. The light flashed a few times on the way down but it reminded me of when you see a person repel from a plane. We went for a ride and from another angle there is also a blue light. There is no longer a spot light in the sky but the 2 green dots are still there. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mulino, OR
Two odd lights in the sky to the south caught my eye as i walked outside to let dogs out. I called my husband out and we watched as the higher one started moving towards us. The next one started moving after, they moved very slowly almost no sound, as they got closer and moved directly overhead, the light configuration and shape was very unusual. Both has lots of lights, different colors, in a pattern on what looked to be the main body and had 2 smaller sections below and off to each side that had lights moving along the length of the sections. They were extremely low still almost no sound, and were large, C-130-sized, or larger, it appeared to us. They moved slowly overhead to the north and over our forest, we lost sight of them over our tree lines quickly because they were so low. Saw 2 similar lighted craft hovering in the sky afterwards right after those 2. Cell phone video photos would not work on any phone during the event, worked fine prior and after.

I was sitting outside in my yard, waiting for coals of my fire pit to cool down enough so I could feel safe leaving them for the night and not starting a grass fire since the wind had begun to pick up quite a bit about an hour after sunset. I live at the tip end of a long valley and only a small portion of the sky facing south can be seen from where I was sitting next to my fire pit south facing. It was a strange feeling I had come over me, all the birds and bees had stopped making noises except for a pair of hooting owls who had been the chorus for the evening, as if that alone was not odd enough. I suddenly got the startling realization that I was not alone, something was over me observing me almost critically I felt. There was no one who I could account for since we live out in the middle of nowhere practically and it was only my husband and I home that night and he had gone to bed an hour prior to this experience I began having. At first, I got very scared and tried to refocus my eyes from the fire to the pitch black that surrounded me, but there was not a peep of anything I could see or hear virtually nothing, and that creeped me out even more. Out of panic and to calibrate my location I looked up to see where the stars were in the night sky, and it seemed they had all but one gone into the darkness as well. It was very odd that on a clear night sky no clouds I could observe no glittered sky just one single throbbing orange light beaming up in the night sky. It was very obviously not a planet and was slowly moving closer to my location but seemed at least a mile or so away. I was locked into its hypnotic throbbing pulsing, slow like the rhythm of a heart and it seemed to be directing all its attention into me! This may be a delusion, given my frenzied state, however it lingered in the gaze for such a long time I thought if I kept looking at it, it might zap my brain or take my soul from my body or worse, I was not sure really. It seemed like it was trying to do moriss code as it crept closer but I have no clue what Morris code signal it would be trying to send to lil old me alone in the dark in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night! Maybe it just enjoyed my fire pit and wanted to say hi. Either way after about 30 mins of locked focused gaze my fire pit was barley glowing and I had come to determine it was time to go to sleep. One I got to bed I woke about every hour just to take a peek to see if this thing was still out there and it was! Last peek was the break of dawn, I wish I had thought to take a picture. If I see it again I will be sure to follow up with photos. Good news is it returned last night as well, so here’s hoping it comes tonight as well. Peter I love you for all the hard work, dedication, and love you have for this subject. Your the best, thanks for letting me share.

I was on the bus heading home. When I looked out my window to see three saucer shaped disks flying. You might think my head was playing tricks on me nut I swear I saw these flashes coming from these saucers. At first they were moving slow then at a quicker pace each second. I turned to tell my friend but by the time she looked out the window the saucers were gone. Lots of people thought I was crazy when I told them about it on the bus. I swear I saw three disks flying around that day, and I am not crazy. Well this all was happening I noticed that I felt sick to the stomach and got red blotch's on my skin for a short period of time.

Saw something kinda weird last night. I really enjoy sitting on my back porch on warm clear nights and just watch the sky. To me it's much better than TV. I watch for satellites (21 last night, a record) and meteors (only two but...) I see lots of airplanes as well. Of course you can tell them by their flashing beacons, sometimes you can make out the green/red lights as well. Normally, and I mean almost always, you see one and you can watch it cross the sky until it either goes behind a tree or a house or just slowly gets dimmer and dimmer until it totally fades from view on the horizon. It was getting late, near midnight and my eyes were getting tired but I believe that I saw what I saw. Looking to the southeast, probably forty to fifty degrees off the horizon, near the star, Altair, I noticed a sort of oddly lit plane with at least four white-ish lights flickering on and off what I would call randomly, about once per second. It was odd looking but nothing that I thought was totally out of the ordinary. The lights were not real bright but this meant to me that the object was at a very high altitude. It was moving very slightly south of due west at a speed consistent with a high altitude aircraft. Again, not real note-worthy. But then I noticed a second identical object following the first. (If you held a ruler out at arms length then the second was about two or three inches behind the first.) Even this was not that surprising to me as I've logged a lot of hours out there skywatching and seen lots of aircraft. I assumed that if I watched long enough that I would realize that they only seemed to be in a straight line and that in time one would be headed in a slightly different direction. What I didn't expect was for the first object to disappear. It just kind of faded away in a second or two. I kept waiting for it to reappear after I refocused (again, my eyes were tired) but no. It was gone. This got my attention. I could still see the second object for a few seconds...and then IT disappeared as well. The entire event, from the time I noticed the first then the second object, to the time they were both gone lasted maybe 20 seconds. Not the weirdest thing I've ever seen while skywatching...but pretty close.

My Girlfriend and I went and rented a cabin on Clear Lake, at approx 11:00pm Sunday night I took my Girlfriend out on the boat in the middle of clear lake. Once we made it to the middle of the lake we hear what sounded like a mass about of birds on a near by island. On the lake at this time there was it was so quiet I could hear everything and the sky was crystal clear. About that time, I had noticed a red orb in the far distance just sitting there. A few minutes later we had noticed 2 red orbs that started to move across the sky slowly, then all of the sudden they shot aross the sky and hovered. Next, these objects would shoot straight up at incredible speeds and on angles I have never seen before. At that time one of the objects disappreard. The remaining object then started to move twards me and my girlfriend. This object then came direcly over the top of the boat. There was no noise what so ever, and the object had 3 lights 2 red and one green. It wa! s more in a bomerang shape. Once it was over us it shot to a different part of the sky where a giant orange orb showed up the the sky. This red/green object moved twards this new orange object. At this same time 2 giant white objects appreard close to the orange obj. the seems to get very bright and then went out. All this lasted for over 40 min. I am prior Airforce, and I can tell you this was no drone, plane, or anything I have ever seen in my life. The way that the green/red obj was moving across the sky was just incredible. Just wanted to share my story!

On the night of July 11, 2018 I was sitting outside in my boyfriends backyard with him. While he was smoking a cigarette at the patio table, I had my eyes wandering around the sky looking for anomalies as I was attempting to contact a UFO or get one to appear. I did this by using Dr. Steven Greer's ET Contact app. I was playing the crop circle tones found within the app and trying to consciously contact anyone or anything that would appear. After about ten minutes, a blue UFO appeared above us in the sky and made some smooth motions to the left and to the right. I turned off the app and opened up my camera to record the UFO. The video attached is what I saw. Through my eyes, the object was a blue/ white light hovering above us. After five minutes and the video I took, the object dematerialized from above us and never returned. We then discussed what we had seen and went back inside the house. Short and simple: a blue UFO hovered above us and then disappeared completely. My boyfriend and I both witnessed it and can account for all the details.
