April 10, 2018 · 8:30 PM · FORMATION
North Haven, CT
On my way to work I witnessed 12 lights in formation. They hovered for roughly 5 minutes. A few other cars pulled to side to witness the event. As we were watching, all 12 lights went off almost simultaneously. I’m not one to report events such as these but this is the second time I have witnessed this formation at this exact location on Rte 22 along All Saints cemetery in North Haven, Ct. The last time I witnessed this event was Labor Day 2017 around 2130hrs. Same thing, amber lights in formation. I watched for a couple of minutes and then all lights went out.

I was able to pull over in a wide spot and observe it closer this went on for approximately 20 minutes. I took my phone and tried to do a video but unfortunately it was too dark. I have been driving truck for 23 years and 16 years as a deputy sheriff. I have never seen anything like this before… I did call California Highway Patrol and they took a report of the event. Just estimating from my location it was probably 30,000 feet in the air and what appeared to be over Sacramento. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and we found him to be unusually eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a skilled witness, and a highly reliable source of information. He described himself as a former law enforcement officer. PD

Witness was outside and looked up because he had noticed a darker triangle shape in the sky very low. He was pretty sure it was a UFO and just sat there and smoked his cigarette. He then heard birds going "crazy", chirping like fighting. It was 12 am and that was late for birds to be out he thought. Then when the street light flickered he felt uneasy and put his cigarette out and went inside.

Black Mountain, NC
I am a truthful person, with my friend from church this night. We both saw the same thing I was driving home with a friend from Church, looking to my left (West) to see if the road was clear, I saw an odd looking low hanging “Light”. I said my my friend “ WHAT IS THAT??” She saw it then & exclaimed as I did. The light was just hanging low, very bright as a star, but it had kind of “Spikes” of light, even like a “Tail” of light. But is was all light, not other color. It was too low for a star & it wasn’t moving, at least didn’t seem to be. I drove my car as I took pictures (!) then tried to find a hill unobstructed by trees & hills to take more pictures & to watch this thing. We spent probably close to an hour watching & taking pictures. Most of them were from my phone. Some videos were taken by me, as we watched it change shapes, in the videos it was pulsating a LOT. We got cold, it was late, so we reluctantly went home, When I put the pictures on my computer I got a BIG surprise. There was an object in the last few pictures of that night. It was in only 1 picture. We did not see this when we were watching. It obviously had no lights or sound ( or maybe it was too far to hear it) I can clearly see a “Craft” very close to this Light we were watching. Neither of us know what we saw, & I sure don’t know what this is on this 1 picture. I tried to edit it out, it won’t go away, so it is definitely there. A solid object that we didn’t see.

A saucer shaped object was seen over a 20 floor building. It was still, did not move but emitted Red, Green white lights from around the corners. I ignored it at first, thinking it was a drone. But helicopters and airplanes going around it caught my attention. I took a video and it's pretty clear .

Main witness, his wife and two sons, were on the deck and looked up to notice three objects heading toward them in the sky. The kids were excited and apprehensive. Older witnesses were calm and curious. Suddenly the furthest light morphed/appeared as a large cigar shape, perfectly identical on either side, like a disc or Frisbee when looking at it directly on as it flew. Slightly taller in the middle of object. It appeared brighter more orange in color. It kind of seemed to have fuzzy edges. Wasn't "high definition" defined. At this point the youngest started to cry and ran into the house followed by his older brother. They all then stayed put but the main witness was shocked by the sight. He tried to photograph it with his cell phone but it wouldn't show up in his viewfinder. He took photos in the direction anyway and ended up with blank black screen.. It stayed stationary for a minute then slowly moved N by NE. up the valley floor towards Snoqualmie. As they moved north the two other spheres disappeared and they lost track of them watching the large light. The large light disappeared leaving behind the same color light but much smaller as it had moved from their SE. Directly to the E of them it changed shape and density like moving plasma and fell similar but not exactly like a leaf below the tree line down to the ground. It was bizarre. "I'm not sure if they/the lights were entities themselves that confuses me since the one got so huge and shaped like what you'd imagine to be a ufo but just illuminated no sign of metallic structure at all. Then the later translucent light fell to nothing.

Wausau, WI
I was outside facing east. I saw what I first believed to be either a meteor or a disending sattilite. But I noticed a form behind the light which was in the shape of a pill or tick tack. The object then seemed to slow and change either shape or direction. It then stopped and became a light a bit larger than my thumb nail at arm's lenght . When it disappered it didnt just go away but closed from the outside in ; until I could no longer see it. It traveled (facing east) from my "5 o'clock and stopped and vanished at my 11 o'clock. (south west headed north east. I have not yet ask any one else in the neighborhood if they say it but will and report if so.

White circular light traveling across sky in straight line, initially looked like low flying plane. Watched through binoculars, then it slowly faded to orange dot and disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Fountain, CO
We were driving west, and noticed the craft hovering, at first we thought it was a contrail, but after watching one move under the object, I then realize it wasn't moving. The object stayed in the same spot for about 5 minutes until an incoming storm obstructed the view of the object. In the photos, you can see a jet move in front of, or under, the object. The object does not look like a cloud or contrail.

Orleans, IN
Witness had just awoke for the day, and looked out the window of his home, and he saw this orb-like object large as a silver dollar (at arm's length?). It was hovering to the South, and after observing it for a few minutes, another orb-like object size of a dime (at arm's length) shot out of the larger orb. It surprised him, but he had seen objects in the night skies before but they were pillar shaped with numerous lights, nothing like this. The smaller object that departed from the larger orb/object disappeared. The original object soon disappeared.

My wife and I were on our back patio having a cigarette around 10pm, and i saw a commercial aircraft and i joked "it's a ufo" and we laughed. But just then a chevron shape appeared coming north to south..bottom seemed illuminated. No flashing lights. Moving 4-5 times as fast as the jet...lower though maybe 10,000 ft. This lasted 5-8 seconds and we have a big property with extensive views. A little stunned we went back inside. No sound. Not the first time i have seen unusual craft. 4-5 other sightings.

Fortuna, CA
So this sighting may be a bit unique because it is current and ongoing. The sighting I have entered in is the most significant one. It actually goes back to April 3, 2018, until this morning (April 19, 2018). On April 3, I was letting my dog out the side garage door facing east. Up about 30 degrees in the sky was seemingly a very bright star which began to move. It was very bright and did slow circles and a triangle pattern. I watched for about ten minutes and went to let the chickens out and went around to the backyard and spotted another southwest a bit higher in angle in the sky. I had to go to work so the sighting ended. That night there were objects in the same location in the sky and one more due west. It was a very clear night and star filled. These stick out because of how bright they are. White hot light that sparkles. As I scanned the sky I noticed 4 more in other locations. I didn't pay attention to the others however because of the significance of ! the other 3. Every clear night and early morning since then I have spotted these and have spoken to a close friend and a few other people that have seen them. The significant report that I have filled into the boxes is the Sunday night following the incident. We contacted one another via text message and updated on what we were seeing. The three main ones were in the same positions in the sky plus I spotted 9 more. The three main ones have stayed in the same locations only deviating by a few miles sometimes getting sort of close and sometimes out towards the ocean. They appear daily from approximately 20:00 to 6:00. The pattern changed last night and they are no longer in the same locations. I spotted one east and one west that seemed very close to town. The flying patterns don't deviate much from circles to dipping up and down, sometimes dipping down and back up in a teardrop shape. They seemingly look like they are scanning around or signaling something. My parents live 12 miles south, and they have been seeing them west over the mountains towards the ocean. These sightings are picking up attention in the area. I didn't file a report at first because the photos and videos I have are only like stars in appearance and don't do them justice. They should be seen in person.

Fort Collins, CO
I was the only witness to this event and therefor can only give information about myself. I am thirty-nine years old and have spent a great deal of time outside and looking to the sky. Most of my life, I have worked in kitchens and bakeries but I am currently taking classes at the community college. I hope to earn my associates in science and hopefully transfer to our local four year to study ecology. I make the same walk often and have never seen anything like this before this time, nor have I since this event. I believe that this event occurred somewhere between 1:30 and 2:00 Sunday morning. I was walking through the neighborhood on my way home and noticed a star that looked out of place. When I was able to find a break in both the branches of the trees above and the clouds then I was able to be certain that this was not a star. It began to glow more brightly and then made some quick movements with angles that would form a triangle. Once I knew that I was actually seeing something that was out of place I kept the object in sight and continued my walk home. With the craft in sight and well above the level of any clouds, I noticed that the white light that was coming from the craft was getting brighter and realized that it was descending very quickly and moving straight toward me. In only a matter of seconds it was at the level of the street lamps, and I was now able to see that the craft was a sphere roughly the size of a basketball. It was no longer emitting white light but had begun to glow red. The red lights on this craft seemed to move in sort of a rubics cube manner and then it began to ascend back to about cloud level. I walked the last about six blocks to my home with this craft not following me but staying within sight and almost leading me to my home. During this time the craft descended to within thirty to forty feet of me two more times. Each time emitting white light when high up in the sky and glowing red when at street level. The lights were broken up and moving rapidly on the outside of the craft and it sometimes appeared that there was no solid object but more of an organization of tiny lights moving in a cooperative manner through the air. I was turning onto my street where I live at the fourth house down and was surprised at how un afraid I had been through the first two descents. The craft then came down to within eight feet of the ground and still moving ahead of me, it went past and around to the other side of my neighbor’s house. This last descent was when I first really got my anxiety up and being relieved to be at my house I went inside and tried to wrap my head around what I had just seen. Once inside my home I noticed a wound on my hand that looked like someone took a tiny spoon and scooped out a tiny bit of my hand. There was no bleeding, it just was already grown over with a very smooth concave scab. I am pretty certain that I did not have such a wound when I left my last destination to head towards my house. The next day I also had what felt like a sunburn on my face. When I looked in the mirror my face appeared red but unlike a sunburn it this burn was evenly spread throughout every part of my face. Even under my nose and in the creases around my nose that are rarely hit by the sun was burned. This burn lasted about a day and a half before I began peeling and within a day or so my face had peeled completely. I am certain I was not burned by the sun. I suspect that the craft was burning my skin when it was emitting the white light. My face was the only part of me that was exposed and when the craft was at cloud level the white light seemed to foc! us right on my face as I looked directly back at the source. There was no visible beam of light, but I could see and feel this light much more than the glowing red light that would be seen when the craft was at street level. The basic description of this object would be a bright white light when high in the sky and a formation of small red lights when at a level where it could be seen easily. It could make this type of altitude change in barely over a second and during the first two descents the mass of the object hovered completely still while the red lights rotated around a central mass. very rapidly. It made no sound and was almost the size of a basketball. The third descent was the only time I saw the craft move in any direction other than up or down while near the ground. The red lights would move rapidly almost as if they were being worked very quickly in the same manner a rubic’s cube would be solved only spherical and with thousands of tiny red lights instead of the 54 panels one would find on the standard rubic’s cube. The object moved slowly as it went around towards the back of my neighbor’s house. As it hovered across my neighbor’s house it maintained a height just below th! e level of the first-floor gutters on the house. It seemed to glow more of a golden or white glow that would overpower the red lights and then fade back to a low enough level that the red lights could be seen once again. I was trying to post about this shortly after the event but I had a lot of trouble using my keypad to form the words that I had intended on typing. This continued for until I had slept a full night’s sleep. It felt as if my mind was partially disabled for a bit of time after seeing this object.

Witnessed a bright red-orange light in the sky to the north, heading east, from the back yard. It was traveling linearly; horizontally to the east at a uniform speed. Showed my wife before it blinked once and finally disappeared. Another appeared. And then a sequence of 4, like the letter C, came. Then a sequence of 3. My wife watched and shot footage in front of the house. One or two more single orbs flew by. They flickered like fires and would blink in an out at what seemed like the end of their path, so they disappeared, but not behind trees or buildings. They produced no sound. It did not seem like a full ship, to me, but a series of lights in the sky on the same trajectory. I say this because the lights, from my vantage point, seemed random. Not like the Phoenix Lights, which sound similar. (MUFON site has good photos)

Park Forest, IL
I watched for maybe a minute and I saw more aircraft. They were in single file formation, some were flying side by side. I called to my granddaughter and told her to bring her phone. I tried to count how many. I think I counted up to 20. They weren’t moving fast but, not too slow, but at a steady pace. They were headed southeast towards Crete, Il. My granddaughter did manage to capture a video. I asked a few of my neighbors, but of course they didn’t see anything. I just can’t imagine why there were not any more witnesses because they were in full view for so long. They lit up the sky; illuminating stars that I believe couldn’t be seen without their illumination. After, they left the sky was still glowing and the stars were still shining for what seemed like a minute.

Cleveland, OH
The man was driving his work truck north on Route 77 towards downtown Cleveland when he saw what he first thought was a banner advertizement. However he couldn't see an airplane and the shape was a very large black square. The picture he took was from his cell phone while driving. The object appeared to be over Lake Erie. The object is a little hard to see, but is to the right of the telephone pole. According to the witness the object was probably about 2-3 miles away at least. and was descending. (MUFON)

Avon Lake, OH
On Saturday April 7, 2018, at about 2:20pm, I was driving east in Avon Lake, Ohio, on Krebbs Road, which is about 3 miles south of Lake Erie. This road also passes into Bay Village, Ohio. It was a sunny day with a clear blue sky, and temperatures in the low thirties. As I was headed eastbound, I looked out my drivers side window to the north as saw a silver metallic cigar shaped object with no wings, no tail and no contrail. The object appeared to be at a distance above Lake Erie. I slowed down, and intermittently looked at the object. At one of the times I looked at it, I observed a horizontal red band in the middle of the object that was a quarter to a third of the object's length, however the next time I looked at it the band was no longer visible. When I reached the end of the road at Bradley Rd, I was stopped by a traffic light. I had to turn my head a little over my shoulder at this point and noticed the object was stationary in the sky. I proceeded to drive a little ways north on Bradley Rd., but turned around in a couple of minutes and headed back west on Krebbs Rd. I pulled into Bay Village City Services parking lot, got out of my car and looked north to the sky, but the object was gone. I proceeded to call my husband at 2:27pm to tell him about this. The object appeared in size to be about 2/3 the size of the moon in length. I previously reported another incident which occurred approximately 10/27/2002 and was reported on 9/3/17 and posted on 9/5/2017.

Returning from Florence through Apache Junction. Noticed two grey objects, spaced apart and moving congruently across the sky, going south to north. Appeared to turn west or to elevate, and then one vanished; immediately the other.

One stayed stationary for three hours, the one next to it was moving up and down and made a sharp right then shot faster than anything I have ever seen East and right now 4/7/18 10:25 pm there is one with bright red and blue light not moving. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Austin, TX
I was outside in my porch when I heard an unsettling high pitched noise. I looked up in the sky to see 4 cone shaped things floating in the sky. They were gray, and they moved at a waking speed. They were blurry, as if they were not close. I stared at it for about an hour, but when I went back inside, the time had not changed. I have not seen the objects again. My cat however, was outside with me, and was acting VERY VERY strangely. Witness does not indicate a time of the alleged sighting, elects to provide no contact information. Possible hoax, we suspect.

Cherry Valley, IL
At around 10:45 PM CST, I happened to be up yet and noticed a pulsing light in the sky from my bed located mostly in the westward, to slightly north direction halfway above the horizon. What made me look twice and observe for over 15 minutes was that this object was emitting a pulse of light in an irregular interval as well as at different speeds. At some times, the object would emit a slower pulse of light lasting maybe a second, but then at other times the object would emit a more rapid pulse of light lasting maybe half the duration as the slow pulse. As I said, the emission of light was also seemingly irregular. It would emit light maybe every three to four seconds, and as rapidly as every two seconds, but mostly emit light in a slow manner. When it traversed the sky it almost seemed to travel slightly more south-south-east rather than east as time went on. So, the point I’m getting at is that the orbit of this object didn’t seem to be in a straight line. I add this because we were starting to analyze the information and evidence at hand to determine if this was a satellite or not. I would imagine that a satellite would proceed in a straight line and not slightly deviate like this object was seeming to do. Also, we were considering that a rotating satellite may cause a reflection which would appear to be a burst of light like we were seeing, but not different pulse types unless in was rotating in multiple directions or out of control, which of course would be unlikely and not typical. Finally, it did seem as I was watching this object further, that at times when it wasn’t emitting light that I could see a faint bit of light (perhaps sunlight bouncing off of it; which would suggest that this object was in orbit around Earth) and kind of follow it, but this wasn’t always true. The French doors I was watching this object through from bed is a typical place that I stare quite a bit before falling asleep. This is the first time I have seen anything like it. I would be curious if anybody else saw this or if there is an explanation to what I saw. Thank you!
