I was sitting at the beach observing the stars. There was a brighter and bigger round white light. It would randomly emit a white light to the east and a red light to the west of it. I thought it was my eyes but I didn’t observe this in any other star. I thought it may be a plane but a plane went by and I saw it had blue and red lights and this object was not moving or making sounds. I thought it may be a drone because it started moving making a circle and then moved similar to a dragon fly, hovering but with jerky movements but then it froze for a long time again. Later it moved to the west the then back to the east, quickly. About an hour later it appeared smaller in diameter; initially I thought it was my imagination but about another hour later it went really farther and appeared really small and now it was emitting a red light instead of white. It totally disappeared before appearing at a great distance in red. I had to stars in the sky I was using as a reference to observe movement. Initially it moved to the right some and then farther away after making the circular movement. I observed it in the sky for 2- 2.5 hours. My daughter was with me and I pointed out to her the random beams of light to see if she observed it also and she confirmed it. My daughter was the one who initially observed the movement. I also called my husband out to see it and he did but was not curious about it like I was; he went back in the house after taking a look at it. The following night, when I arrived at my house in Ocala, Fl, I observed the light was in the sky again about at 2200. I took a shower and went outside to see if the light was still there but it was not. Being surrounded by houses I could not see as well as when on the beach. I researched on line to see if it could have been Mars but because of the observable circular movement with the naked eye, it could not have been Mars.

I was recently visiting Myrtle Beach, SC, and awoke from a deep sleep and walked out onto the ocean front balcony of my room sometime after 10pm. The moon was full and could occasionally be seen through dark rolling rain clouds. I first saw a bright orange light seemingly just turn on at the edge of a dark cloud. It was in my left field of vision. It disappeared and then another orange light appeared in my right field of vision also seeming to be at the edge of another dark cloud. It disappeared, and then three orange lights appeared coming down into formation in a break in clouds. They stopped in what appeared to be a perfect diagonal line. The lower end was on my left as I looked out over ocean from the seventh floor. It was as though they stopped to observe something. Then two orange lights appeared with a greater distance between them. It looked as though they were guiding a much larger object made of dark metal reflected by moonlight. I only saw ! one end of the larger object which was round or oval and moving away from me into the clouds. The orange lights looked like bright stars with spikes of light coming from them like bright objects often look in the night sky, but the spikes seemed more defined or like jewels would appear in bright light. I am not sure about the time. It was a restless night, and I did not even consider leaving to find my telephone to make pictures, but I now wonder why. I think I was overwhelmed, and could not get my friend awake enough to look. I hope someone else saw this. Please see other reports from the Myrtle Beach area for this date. PD

On Wednesday night, I was driving home from the gym with my wife and we saw a bright light in the sky that initially we thought was the moon. it was really far away and very high in the sky. we then saw the object coming closer at a fast rate of speed and was rapidly descending. It was big and definitely was not a plane. The size, speed, and flight path of the object also made it highly unlikely to be a drone. It was big and was really fast. We then realized it was not the moon. It had three very bright flashing lights. My wife got out her phone and tried to record it. As she started to record, it disappeared and went dark. A few seconds later, it reappeared and that is where our video picks up. It changed flight patterns a few times and then sped off behind us and out of sight. There was a car behind us, so I was unable to turn around and follow it. The lights were very bright and it seemed to hover a few times before it sped off.

My Feince and I were sitting on our 8th floor balcony, when she observed an orange light over the Atlantic then it disappeared then reappeared. We only saw a single light on in the air, we could not see a vehicle at all just the lights. This continued to happen seeing one then two equally spaced apart then there were three and at one time we saw five lights then they were gone. The next night the same time this time when they showed up I shined a laser in the direction of the light I blinked it twice then the UFO repositioned itself to be right in front of us but still the same distance over the ocean about 1-2 miles out over the ocean and blinked twice back at us.

Myrtle Beach, SC
As we were leaving (heading toward the shore line) there were 3 orange colored lights along the perimeter of a cloud. 2 were on the top. 1 was on the bottom. They were all equal in size, and each was in the shape of a line. They began to shrink and grown in an alternating pattern. They then shrunk individually and disappeared. The same thing was observed on 6/1 when we were fishing around 10 PM. This time it was one light, same shape, same size, but over the ocean. It contracted and disappeared.

I was walking my dog and noticed a fairly bright reddish-orange glowing object in the southern sky near the moon and it was moving in a straight line from south to north. I would guess maybe 2000-3000 feet in elevation, and moving at medium cruising speed. What was strange is the object went from glowing reddish-orange to a more orange color, and then the color completely disappeared. You could still see the object which had a light gray body color continue north until it was out of sight. There was no sound heard at all, as you would expect to hear from a jet or plane even if delayed due to the speed of sound. I called my son outside to see it, and he did, but the color had already dissipated at that time.

3 Orange circles glowing above ocean. At least 5 miles off shore and over 5,000 feet high (comparing to boats and comercial aircraft in area at the time). They light it up a row and seemed to be alternating positions. Not the first time I've seen these glowing lights in this exact location.

As I watched the sun set and planes making their way to Sky Harbor airport, I noticed a black, square aircraft almost directly overhead. It was much further away compared to the planes heading to the airport. And it didn’t move much. Watching for a few minutes, I saw that when it did move, it was slow and bobbing. This was potentially a balloon or drone. But it would have to be jet sized or bigger, judging by the planes for reference. The craft was too far away to take a meaningful picture. It was just too small. But I ran inside to get some binoculars just in case they would help show some detail. I came back outside less than 60 seconds later, and it was gone without a trace. Nothing in the sky either above, or on the horizon. It was far too slow to have moved completely over the horizon or up out of sight in less than a minute. After a brief search, I’d say the closest similar sighting is one recorded in McAllen, Texas, on Dec 6th 2014. (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))

On May 29, 2018, I got up this morning as usual about 6am, for quiet time, and happened to look at the security camera. At first I noticed a perfect little circle orb hovering around the lens, which after a while it moved up and a second circle came up, moving in the exact same format. Thinking it was possible a reflection of the first circle, upon further observation, I realized these were two different orbs moving back and forth in perfect alignment, without changing direction. It was as if a reflective object was moving the orbs in unison. I opened the front door and walked toward where the camera indicated the objects were. However, they disappeared off screen.

Was sitting by a fire out camping looking up at the stars. It's really clear out there no light pollution. I started to notice flashes of light looked like it was out in space but in our orbit. Do not know what they could of been. The best way to describe it was it looked like ships in sci-fy movies coming out of light speed. I have never seen anything like it.

A family member of mine was walking their dog outside in my neighborhood last night at about 11:00pm - 12:00pm when they brought the dog in and raced to bring me outside to see what they had just seen. they described what they saw as a drone type thing flying around more like hovering about 50 over the houses and had 2 red dot laser looking lights in the top or front and one green light that flashed on the bottom but only flashed when it traveled upwards. the witness says they stopped and looked at the drone thinking at first that it was a kids toy or someone flying a drone but the way it moved couldn't ever be a drone. the drone seemed to peer over at the witness as if they were looking at eachother and the witness turned away and walked the rest of the way home after watching the drone shoot straight up into the sky into the clouds faster than anything could move, they described it as unreal seemingly fast. at this point the witness was coming inside to get! me where we both left the dog inside and came out front to look down the street and see the drone again so i can see it for the first time. i did not see the drone myself but as we were searching the sky about a few hundred feet away id say a mile or half mile away and a few hundred feet high was some red lights and a green flashing light that seemed to be moving left to right then stopped and turned right to start facing me and looked like it was heading towards us then stopped still pretty far away and lit up very bright like a streetlight but bigger and is just stayed there until a little bit later after going back inside i walked outside again to look at the light and sure enough it was there until a few seconds later it seemed to move away and disappear and thats the last we saw of it.

I was watching the stars and saw a red flashing light traveling through the sky like a jet plane. It slowed and then stopped and hovered and continued to travel East, then turns and comes, back so then I grabbed my phone and started video taping. I also took a photo which appears as a red ball of light. In the videos it travels under the moon and stops close to a star. It then decends at a rapid speed and slows down and slowly descents to the ground and goes behind a tree. 3 hrs earlier a sighting was apparently seen in California with the same footage. So this can’t be a drone. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and she was quite convinced that she had been witness to something very unusual. She corrected the time of the sighting, which we have amended above. PD

Little Rock, AR
Little Rock, AR My friends and I have been watching this cone or triangular shaped craft for over a month. For quite a while it seemed to be an unfamiliar constellation...very high in the sky. Over the days it has become more and more visible. Tonight 5/28/2018, at approx 8:25 it was very low in the sky when it suddenly began to drop straight to the ground without making a sound. I happened to be looking at it when this took place. I was completely speechless and unable to call out to my friends. When it was higher it seemed more Christmas tree shaped wih several big lights or craft at each corner and in between points. Tonight as it fell the shape was completely visible. Cone shaped top then straight sides with numerous lights or craft. There was complete silence as it fell. It seemed to be extremely close to us. As it fell past the trees I could no longer see it. I had no was of getting to it so I immediately googled for similar sightings. I expect to hear something on the news tonight. I can't describe my feelings. Whatever it was has been one of the most amazing, overwhelming things that I've witnessed in my life. I hope to see more recent sightings here. the sightings in Mena AR and Fort Smith sound very similar. CC N

Seattle, WA
I was looking at the Seattle city-scape from the 4th floor of the VA hospital. I thought I would take a picture of the buildings with my phone. When I held up the phone to snap some pics I instantly realized that something was flying around above the city. I could see it on the screen of my phone but the object was completely invisible to my eye. So I snapped a couple pics and then realized i needed to start recording video. Which I did. Got about 90 seconds worth of video. I later noticed a second object flying above and to the right of the more visible one. Posted the video to my instagram account @legendkontinues ...I would be very happy to have it analyzed by a digital audio/visual expert.

My nephew called me outside at night, just after the storms and rain seemed to clear. We saw as we were facing south, to the west a very bright light just above the tree line. It was mostly stationary, so at first we thought it was a star. However this appeared to be larger than any of the other stars. It appeared to get brighter and larger so I went to get my telescope. Once I got the scope and had it lined up the light dipped slowly down then dimmed and went dark. I put the telescope down and when I did it reappeared got real bright, and appeared to move to the left, then the right. As I set my telescope up again and my nephew tried to video it, it dipped down into the tree line. Then it dimmed and disappeared completely. Attempts to video or take pictures were unsuccessful. The object appeared to me to have blue and green on top and was mostly bright white. The blue and green seemed to alternate. No sound was noted.

On a earlier date (October 5th, 2017), I went outside to take a picture, for reasons I don't even know, but later next year (5/28/18) I was looking through my photos carefully, when I spotted something on the photo that I took a year earlier. The object is pretty much a cigar shaped thing and was metallic. The object I assume is pretty high altitude judging by the original photo. Sadly, I can't remember what the object was doing since it was a while a go. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I did pull out my phone and video taped some of what I saw. Not a plane or a helicopter because there was no wings or sound. The sun did reflect off of its surface and I did notice a small airplane fly by it heading north.
