Oklahoma City, OK
I had walked outside to check my mail and when I was walking back I looked up to West and observed an object in the sky. It was far away and very high up with bright white lights on the bottom and what looked to be a red light on top. It was not moving and sat in the same place in the sky for several minutes. I went back inside and got my phone and came back out to take a picture of it. I took several pictures using my IPhone 7 and watched it for about 5 more minutes. It still did not move, did not get further away or closer.

I was travelling west when I saw a bright light. I looked closer thinking it was an aircraft but then the object stopped. I looked closer and then it moved backwards and suddenly disappeared.

My friend was driving tonight, he saw these lights ghat resembled the Phoenix lights, so he pulled out his phone and took this, both of us are currently working to become pilots so we found this pretty cool, i just figured id report it to see if anyone saw something similar. Video clip shows a group of moderately bright lights, moving against a dark sky. PD

Looking what I thought was a satellite but it was moving to slow it was like a weak star then it brightened 100 times intensity for 3sec went back to original intensity and made a 90 % left turn and disappeared. Possible flare from an Iridium satellite? PD

Triangular shaped object with many colored lights appearing in the western sky quickly approaching earth, within 45 minutes was very close, hovering about 30 minutes before beginning to leave the area in a northeast direction. We have also witnessed a large ball of fire and a triangular shaped object traveling from northeast to southeast. These objects have been observed by 15 to 20 neighbors and a newspaper reporter.

Hatillo (Puerto Rico), PR
I was looking at the night sky as there is such good visibility due to almost no light contamination. All the sudden, looking south I see these 4 lights which I thought they were stars, started to move in such a a way that it was obvious they were not stars. Circular movement all around a few stars for about a minute and all the sudden disappeared. I have seen similar lights before but never 4 of them moving at the same time.

Emerson, NJ
Silver-metallic sphere was tumbling/spinning as it moved south to north. I was looking out over the valley from my deck. Then it appeared out of nowhere, tumbling/spinning as it moved south to north. The sphere was moving at approximately 100 mph. Distance from where I stood to the sphere from the moment I saw it was approximately 1/2 mile. As it tumbled/spinned either it emitted a white/yellow light or it had caught the sun's rays but just for a brief moment before it traveled behind the tree line and I lost sight of it. As to its size, the best estimate I can provide is between 20-30 feet in diameter. I did notice that the shere had sections on it. The sphere did not emit sound, there was no exhaust trail, moving straight and at steady speed. Sky was clear, no haze, no cloud cover.

Marshall, WI
Sunday 17June2018 at approximately 5:20 pm CT, I noticed a small black object moving quickly in the South Southeast sky. The day was mostly clear with only a few cumulonimbus clouds. I watched the black object for approximately 4 minutes. The object was high in the sky and I had difficulty determining its shape but it appeared to be a three dimensional object that was wider on the bottom and came to a rounded peak at the top. The object moved quickly but stayed in roughly the same 20 degree area of the sky. The object moved right to left, up and down, and diagonally. I did not observe any exhaust, contrail, or other emission from the object. I did not hear any sound emanating from the object. Sometimes it would appear to disappear for a short time (~10 seconds) and then reappear seemingly where it had been previously. I thought at first it was a bird but at times the object would maneuver and I would see a bright flash of light as if it was made of a reflective surface. It appeared to be at the same height of the cumulonimbus clouds. The sighting occurred approximately 15 miles east of the Dane County Regional Airport (Madison, WI). I observed a commuter plane fly in the direction of the object and the unknown object appeared to disappear. At 5:24 pm CT I went inside to get my husband and son to see it. At approximately 5:25 pm CT we saw the object again. My son was able to see it but my husband could not. My ten-year-old son reports that the object was black and shaped like a triangle with smooth sides. At approximately 5:27 pm CT we heard what sounded like a fighter jet come from the Northwest and sound as if it was moving towards the East. We did not see the jet. Within a minute of us hearing the jet the object was gone from our view. We watched that area of sky for the next hour and we did not see the unknown object again.

Chehalis, WA
While driving on pleasant valley (between Napavine and Adna area) road in Chehalis, Wa.m to the west of road about 100 feet off the ground was a saucer shaped craft that just disappeared away behind some fir trees only after a couple seconds. It was very detailed as an airplane might be at that distance. I could not hear a sound from it. I had my air condition fan on. Craft was oval shaped with a dome on top in the center of craft. Looked grey color with no markings but it was only there for a couple seconds. Thanks

White Plains, NY
Stepped outside to walk dog and looked up to see orange lights on night sky approaching and following a northern flight pattern. Objects were small, round, soundless and clustered in two to three at a time and space between seemed to be 15 to 30 second delays. There were other aircraft in area of normal altitude and sound but these seemed higher and without any sound as they flew over in northern flight pattern directly over Ridgeway in White Plains. Night was clear with new moon and minimal clouds. Witnessed by two persons.

Carmel, NY
Object was thinner than a blimp, but fatter than a cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no windows and it was flying low enough that features like this would've been perceptible. It appeared to be made of metal and it was close enough that the witness could see ribbed features, almost able to make out bolts in it as though individual sheets of metal were fashioned together vertically. It felt like something manmade, somewhat primitive, not by any means advanced, but it was like nothing he'd ever seen before. It flew slow overhead across the Taconic State Parkway. He watched it fly over his car until it was completely out of sight (mainly due to the winding of the road) but it flew slow and low. He watched it from the driver's side window to the farthest stretch of the right end of his dashboard. Nothing protruded from it like you'd expect to see from a blimp. It felt like machinery, like something that should've had an engine making a lot of noise, especially for ! how low it was flying, but when he lowered the volume on his radio and opened his window all he heard was typical highway sounds (wheels on the pavement).

Afterward seen numerous other aircraft in the sky, including to aircraft that were following in formation I assume military air craft checking things out.

North Chesterfield, VA
I observed an object in the sky, WNW (from my front step assuming it faced true due north). The range is very difficult to determine. Maybe 50 miles, give or take 20 miles. Approximately 35° above the horizon. The object appeared to move down toward the tree line very slowly with either 3 or 4 lights for about 2-3 seconds. Then turned left (South) at 4 times the speed for about 3-4 seconds. At that point I got to my feet and walked towards the object only to have the neighbor's side light cause the object's lights shine without the same intensity. Then the object turned back to the original direction at half the speed (1-2 seconds) until I lost it behind the tree line. 2 things that sparked my curiosity where how quickly the object changed direction and absolutely no sound whatsoever

Kerr County, TX
June 15, 2018, approximately 7:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time (sunset 8:39 p.m.) My wife and I were sitting outside looking at a rainbow in the eastern sky, when an object appeared going from east-southeast to west-northwest. It was low in the sky, traveling at a steady rate of speed, no deviation from its course and at a constant altitude. My first thought was that it was a flying beach ball. It was approximately the size of a US quarter held at arm’s length. It was definitely headed somewhere. It seemed to be rotating because it was alternately black, then glinting off the sun from what appeared to be metal. It could have had one or more flat metal surfaces that reflected the sun. It “jiggled” a bit as it flew. We watched it for about 2-3 minutes as it silently passed over us, continuing on a steady course. It was low enough that if it had a motor we would have heard it, but it was totally silent. It eventually flew out of sight in the west-northwestern sky. Its speed was not fast, not slow. About the speed of a Cessna 150. I have seen many of those flying over my property, and I know the difference. They have wings, they make noise, and they do not look like a giant ball. It did not look like any aircraft I have ever seen. My wife is a witness to this event. OBSERVERS BACKGROUND: I was an investigator with the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. and held a Top Secret clearance.

Medford, OR
I was driving from Klamath Falls, Oregon, to Medford, Oregon, as I’m driving on the 140, turn left on highway 62 heading south to Highway 5, when something caught my attention in the sky as I was the between the old Costco and Honda dealership, I noticed a metallic oval shape craft moving East just before disappearing in and out of the clouds, then suddenly, he did not reappear. At that moment, I decided to try to take a photo, but it was already too late. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be sincere in his description of the sighting. PD

Georgetown, TX
At 5:05 a.m., I noticed a solid light heading from the north-northeast to the south-southwest (roughly a heading from 020 to 200 degrees, based on compass reading). The light was about the intensity of a satellite, but not following the normal north-south path of previously observed satellites. We heard jet engines at altitude (higher than airliners approaching Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Upon more careful observation, we saw several lights in formation, then determined four in the formation. They were not in “fingertip” formation, rather in a triangle, with a trailing aircraft. The lights were steady white (like formation lights), not blinking “position” lights. We thought,” cool.” Then another formation appeared, then another. After more than four formations, we were even more interested. Occasionally, there would be a brighter light, without other lights near. Also, occasionally, there would be a different formation pattern, with three leading in a line-abreast pattern, with one trailer, centered. We continued to watch, with formations of four passing continuously for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. There had to be at least 50 aircraft, and perhaps 100 +, so we wondered where that many military planes could come from and be heading to. Was it an exercise. A source said that the NORTHCOM exercises were delayed this year. ??? We contacted the local FAA airport tower, then Austin TRACON, then Houston ARTCC. None said they had radar or other records of what we saw. So we're curious. What were they? Houston ARTCC suggested we contact UFOCenter.com. So we did. Thanks. We look forward to an explanation. We were not illuminated by bright searchlights, so we do not suspect aliens.
