Entiay, WA
My wife and I stopped at a gas station and while letting the dogs out I noticed an orb/sphere in the clouds, it caught my eye because the clouds were going by quickly yet this sphere stayed stationary. I pointing it out to several others and soon a crowd was watching this sphere flying erratically, moving in all directions. The display went on for at least 15 minutes before the craft flew up and out at an extreme rate of speed.

Sitting on deck, looked up at stars and noticed a very bright light that was wiggling, we were looking toward the Nantucket Sound, two others to the right but appeared to be at higher elevation, got telescope and the bright light wiggled like an insect, adjusted lens and could see lesser lights moving along perimeter of object with the central bright light remaining constant. Not a plane as we could see them pass with their red lights and then the jet roar after. These objects did not move or appear to track.

Hayden, ID
Didn't note the exact time, but it was no later than 10:00. I was having a morning coffee on the back porch, when I saw this egg shaped object over Hayden Lake. It was not moving very fast. My first thought was some sort of drone craft but it seemed a little too large for a civilian drone. There was no weird feelings from seeing it, just normal curiosity. It was not spooky at all. I observe aircraft from my backyard on a daily basis. This one was not flying any faster than some of the two propellor planes that fly over. I was able to observe it for about a minute before it climbed into the clouds. It was egg shaped, burnished silver and about the size of a pickup truck. I could not hear any engine noise, and tried to spot wings or port and starboard lights without success. I can hear the engines of the planes for quite a distance and this thing was quiet although it was not very far away nor was it very high, at first. Less than a thousand feet up and perhaps! 4 to 6 blocks away. I am a retired oil refinery operator with ten years Military experience.

My father and I were driving down Main Street when suddenly, a cylinder like craft appeared out of the sky. It had a sleek, oval like body with 2 spherical engines at the back. It stopped for a split second and the oval part turned toward us and shot out white beams at us from the front. It then turned away and the engines seemed to go into afterburner mode and took off into the sky. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))

Two oval shaped brightly lit craft passed very low over the river, low enough to create a wake in the water below. There was a loud and low hum which grew in intensity as the craft went along the water way before turning sharply upwards at an almost 90 degree angle. They went up pretty high and sort of hovered for around 30 seconds before vanishing entirely. Lots of dogs barking until they disappeared. My fiancee and a couple we were entertaining all witnessed this. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))

Not sure..Witnessed 4 jet fighters in the sky being very very loud. Event lasted around 45 mins. With 2 fighters circling for a half hour. This is very unusual and out of the norm. One of the fights did accelerate and appear the skip across the sky. Can't say for sure it was a ufo but this is not normal for the area. Happened above my home in heavily populated area.

We were driving down I-84 on the way home from the movie theater. The movie ended at roughly midnight. I was sitting in the front passenger seat. As we were driving I noticed an odd light in the sky that appeared to be moving towards us. As it moved closer, I noticed it was flying low, far too low for a plane but much too big to be a drone. It appeared to be circular in shape, as it definitely had a rounded back but the front was harder to distinguish. It flew directly over our heads then proceeded on in the other direction, where we could see the light from the craft move further and further way at an increasing speed.

Single object, appeared to be a very bright star at first however started moving at high speeds within a region of he sky. This object was quite a distance offshore and started near the wateline then moved quickly into the sky. The object hovered and continued movie quickly and then hover for over an hour at which time it very quickly went in an upward direction until gone from eyesite.

A few minutes later, the second fire ball slowed down around and stopped the same exact place as the first one did then it turned in the same direction as the first one and speed off it was out of sight in just a few seconds about 5 minutes later a third speeding fire ball apaird from the same point in the sky stopped and turned in the same direction.as the first 2 this lasted about twelve to fifteen minutes. When the first one appeared I thought it was a meteor but it could not have been one seeing it stopped and changed direction and then have two more do the same thing in the same place..

A light seen stationary approx. 1/4 of a degree to the east of the star Arcturus. It and the star increased in magnitude for a moment before the light faded away. The light was a white-blue color. The previous night (06/08/18) the light moved clockwise around Arcturus before disappearing and Arcturus' light dimming back down to normal Possible flare from an Iridium satellite?? PD

I was standing outside with my wife and daughter, when a pulsating orb traveled across the sky. Daughter said a “lantern” but was moving too fast for that – and it seemed to change shape later on. Luckily, I have almost the whole event recorded on security camera. Absolutely not an airplane. It was mostly round in the beginning and pulsating orange. Towards the end, it looked more triangular or like an orb with tails. It appeared to be below cloud cover so speed and distance can be estimated a bit better.

Las Vegas, NV
Saturday night, June 9th, approximately 9:08 pm. I was sitting in my truck in front of my boy's mom house while they went in to feed the dogs. I notice a bright flash in the sky towards the north mountains behind the house. We live on the outskirts of Vegas. The light was moving very slow with sudden flashes. I ran to the front door to get my two teenage boys so they could also witness what I was seeing. As we stood there the lights continued to flash. All the sudden a light took off in an upward diagonal direction as fast as a shooting star off into a cloud. My oldest son also said he saw a light shoot straight up. That us other two didn’t see. There was one light that continued on West to east direction flashing in a bright flashing motion. We decided to pull out our phones and record the remainder of what we were seeing. Moments later we saw nothing it was all gone. We continued to watch but there was nothing. We’ve spent a lot of time in the outdoors and ha! ve never seen anything this dramatic in the night sky before.....

While trimming a tree in yard, witness observed object to appear directly overhead. He only observed the bottom of the object. It was a disc and it had visible structures of concentric rings and spokes coming from the center. The rings and spokes formed segments that were colored gold, silver, and a luminous yellow-like quality that he found especially difficult to describe. It appeared below the clouds and appeared to be quite large, though he reportedly had no visual reference with which to compare it. It appeared suddenly, made no sound, made no movements, and disappeared just as suddenly after about 5 seconds. For being so anomalous, his reaction to seeing the object was one of brief puzzlement. He felt no fear or shock and simply returned to his chore. He thought about it as he worked and considered it a hallucination of some sort. However, he had never hallucinated before and the object had such a quality of being "present" that he found it ! hard to categorize it as a hallucination and said nothing of it to anyone and simply thought about it for some time before deciding to make the report.

Well I was riding in a van at the time of the capture of the lights in the sky and really I didn't mean to capture the lights but I ended up doing that. I was actually trying to take a picture of the morning sky . Nighttime photo indicates several blurry, faint sources of light. PD

Very early yesterday morning, I was in my back yard, at approximately 0110 Hrs. doing some stargazing. I was looking generally to the north, with large trees to the extreme left and right of my field of view, and a two-story neighbor's house in the center. I had observed several high flying passenger aircraft (typical light/strobe pattern), satellites and a meteor or two. Suddenly, from behind the left hand bunch of trees, travelling from left to right, at a viewed angle to just clear the top edge of the neighbor's roof, appeared a VERY bright white (PULSING, not flashing) light. The pulse pattern was: (gradual increase, hold a second or so, gradual decrease)(3 second pause)(repeat) The time from minimum to maximum brightness was about 2-3 seconds. Pulsing was not quite regular, but not random either. The color of the light was absolutely one the purist whites I have experienced. I would estimate the distance to be middle distance, as it wasn't at airliner flight level, appearing much lower in altitude and close. I thought maybe it MIGHT be a helicopter, but there was ZERO noise. We have an Army National Guard base nearby, and UH60s overfly regularly, as well as the local Lifeflight. They make a racket all the time, and I am quite familiar with helicopter noise. During this event, however, there was NO SOUND/DEAD QUIET. In addition, there were ZERO other strobes, anti-collision or flashing lights observable. The light was about the size of a nickel held at arm's length, gliding along at a slightly sedate pace. The path was a straight line path from left to right, until is disappeared behind the right hand set of trees. It FAILED to appear where I estimated it should based on course and speed. I quickly moved in my yard to see if I could re-locate it, but no luck. Now, during the last few seconds before it disappeared behind the trees, I was able to observe the object with my binoculars. What appeared in my view was a neon blue...Aura? Haze?, and within this haze was a tumbling, jet-black multi-faceted rectangular-ish shape. Confused by the blue light, I pulled my binocs away, and that is when the object disappeared behind the trees. I can honestly say this is one of the most unusual & unnerving things I have ever seen.

I work at a major airport in the state of Florida as an airfield electrician. I am used to, at this point, the general visual characteristics of aircraft lighting as it approaches and departs the airfield, especially since my job depends on being able to get out of the way for landing and taxiing aircraft. On 6/8/2018 at approximately 22:20 local, I stopped in one of our lighting vaults to use the facilities and wished to have a cigarette before going onto the field for the night's work. This lighting vault is located on a less populated side of the field in a section of airport property that has not yet been developed. As I stood there and observed various aircraft flying many miles from the field, my eyes were drawn to one light that was behaving EXTREMELY out of character for the lights of an aircraft. It was rapidly changing colour between red, green, white, yellow and blue. My first thought was that it looked similar to police lights at night with its rapidly changing colours. Its approximate position was perhaps 3-5nm to my Northeast and it appeared to be slowly moving in my general direction, displaying inappropriate characteristics of motion for an aircraft. I do not believe the changes in colour to be due to atmospheric effects because other aircraft were appearing normally as just a white point of light with the occasional strobe, even in the same general region of the sky. After appearing to slowly move towards me, the object appeared to remain stationary in the air for some seconds before retreating in the distance and then appearing to dim and fade out rather than disappear below the horizon. I made an attempt to photograph the object, however I only had a cell phone camera and was unable to see the point of light in any photographs taken. I work the night shift and have for the past year become well used to the appearance of large and small aircraft navigational lighting in positions from 20nm to 20 feet, furthermore I have become well used to the normal movement of aircraft on approach and departure and am well aware of the visual effects produced by their movement in relation to stars and other aircraft. At the time of my encounter, I did not have an airband capable radio on my person, but as I returned to my truck about the time the object began to "fade away", for lack of a better term, I did not hear any chatter in relation to it on the local control frequency; though I admit I did not check with the various approach/departure frequencies. I am not sure what I saw, but I am sure that it displayed characteristics extremely dissimilar to aircraft lighting. ((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS)) I'll look for it...though I own an LG 450 flip phone, by design. I am resisting the smartphone push until I cannot avoid it anymore. This was seen visually and I am usually aware about these things. The only mental explanation I can come up with is a rotocraft with amber and blue stroboscopic lights. I could be very wrong, but this is my explanation. ((END ADDENDUM #1)) ((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS)) I checked out the same place at the same time and saw no object. All I can imagine it to be would be: 1-an aircraft with led approach lights passing through an atmospheric phenomenon causing it to twinkle 2-a rotorcraft with non standard blue and yellow lighting 3-an object that defies conventional explanation.

We were watching the International Space Station cross the sky on its designated trajectory at the time reported by our local TV station weatherman. As it disappeared into the NE sky, another smaller lighted object appearing to be higher and farther up from the station, intersected the path, coming from the SE, hesitated, then zigzagged at irregular speed then suddenly sped up and disappeared upwards and towards the NW. The object was too distant and not as bright as the space station, but we definitely saw it as we stood looking upward. We routinely watch for the station to pass over when the night is clear and the weatherman announces to look for it. It was too far to make out any shape. No photos, no video, it happened so fast; we were shocked, in disbelief, and because it was so far away, I don't think getting an image w/ our phones would have been possible. Just wondering if anyone else saw it. Looked like a distant shooting star but it was weaving back an forth on purpose, traveling opposite the normal orbit of the space station.

At approximately 9:45pm CDT, I was observing Jupiter with a pair of Celestron Astronomy binoculars. An extremely bright object passed rapidly across my field of vision. I lowered the binoculars and saw it was not visible to the naked eye. The object did not display any ant-collision lights used by aircraft. The direction of travel was north to south.

Stream Of 80 plus, lost count after 15 or so, large Orange glowing oval objects moved from North to South through the night Sky, some with Green Blue smaller orbs accompanying the individual objects. Objects were spaced apart by 1-2 minutes, with at least 12 visible at one time across the sky. The Stream of Orange glowing lights lasted about an hour and a half. The objects seemed to go to a higher altitude, almost disappearing, when an airplane approached its path, and then descended and returned to previous altitude. There was also a considerable amount of regular airplane traffic at the time at which did not seem to be affected. Time of first sitting (sic. sighting) was between 9pm and 9:10pm and lasted till just after 10:30pm Eastern daylight Saving Time. The orange objects were greatly larger than any airplane seen in the air at the time. The speed of the objects crossing the sky from my view was about the rate of conventional aircraft, 3 to 4 minutes to cross the sky until fading out of view. The motion seemed to be as smooth as silk, compared to watching a conventional airplane. Have never seen anything like this before ever.

Me and my daughter were working with our Escrima stick and she notice the object and told me to turn around. It was not a plane or a jet or a Helicopter or a balloon. It was silent. If it was a drone it would had to be huge from our distance, It moved west but seem to had tiny moments of hesitations to its movement. It was dark in appearance no lights. We tried to get the cell phone camera to record it but as always cell phones suck for a camera.
