March 3, 12:20 AM EST Was outside smoking my last cigarette for the day, when I noticed multiple flare type flashes almost straight up in the sky. I see planes all the time as I am in between two major "flight paths" coming and going out of Atlanta. The altitude of this "flash" was well above that and almost could be considered a star. I am also aware of the regular flashing running lights on aircraft. This was not an aircraft. I am also fairly certain it was not an irridium flare. As this flashing started at a certain point in the sky and was moving very very slowly compare to aircraft. It lasted about five minutes, with flashes about every 10-30 seconds, and did not travel very far in the sky before the flashing stopped. There was no pattern to the flashing other than it was very brilliant and was a slow flash or flare type light. Not the blinking type lights on aircraft. It flashed over ten times in time period I witnessed this event. Distance traveled from start to finish would be the length of your index finger if you held it up to the sky. I am not an astronomer or science guy of any kind, as you can tell. I go outside to smoke to keep from smelling up the house and bother the rest of my family. At night, there is nothing outside to look at but the sky. So, I see planes all the time along with shooting stars and I believe I saw a satellite one time on the horizon. It did not flash and was moving quickly and steadily.

Tuesday, April 3, 2018, 12:05 AM. Twilight. My fiancé were driving on a popular road in our city. As we are driving we see an orange ball in the skies headed towards us. Literally seconds later, the object is hovering above us at least 100 feet from landing. It made no sound at all. The object resembled like orange octopus shaped light with 3 legs/tentacles on each side up close. Its motion and movements as it hovered were as graceful as a jellyfish. Seconds later it ascends back into the sky flying in all sorts of spontaneous angles. We follow it for a few seconds, and then poof like magic, it disappears into the night sky. Something I will never forget in life. Amazing and chilling all in one.

Two white orbs hovering in the sky above the woods near my house. They were about the same size. Completely silent. Suddenly just disappeared.

Kittitas, WA
I was outside smoking, when I noticed flashing in the distance. Grabbed my cell phone to zoom in on object. I started recording the object. It would move in a circular motion. Flash red,blue, white,green. Resembled a fireball of energy bursting repeatedly. Move across the sky in a unpredictable manner. I was terrified.

As I was watching deer feed in the field behind my house, a small dark sphere of no more than 16" diameter passed quickly thru my yard at an altitude of no more than 3'. I did catch the object by accident on a cell camera. It appears to be sliding along on brilliant somewhat flat bright reddish orange glow, as best as I can describe it. I have noticed the color of this objects glow more than once in the woods behind my house, and became cold just after it passsed my back window, only 30' feet away. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Tucson, AZ
I have been seeing lights in the direction of the AFB for quite some time, especially in the couple of hours just before dawn, but they seem to be more blatant and odd lately. They appear as points of light that are either white, red, or green and they move rather strangely. Sometimes there is only one light moving around but lately there have been two. They move laterally, diagonally, and vertically. The oddest part to me is that sometimes they appear to be shaky. They show these little micro-movements that remind me of Somebody with a shaky hand holding a laser pointer. This night there were two lights vertically stacked on each other. They would blink on and off and change color (white to red), and they seemed to be able to move both independently and in unison. In addition to these lights that I normally see, two nights ago (4/7/18) in the same direction there was what appeared to be a normal aircraft, moving normally, with blinking white lights and a stable red light. However, it would be ascending diagonally, get to the same point in the sky, and then disappear only to reappear where it began and follow the same trajectory again. It did this cycle at least 3-4 times that I saw.

Portland, OR
Went out on my back deck a little after 10:00 pm to let the dogs out. Saw a slow-moving, flashing light that moved from west to east in the north sky. Possibly several objects. It flashed irregularly, like it was twisting in the sunlight. Seemed to be very high altitude. At one point, it changed to a southeast trajectory. Called my wife out to see and we both saw a similar light farther west. Lasted a few minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It started moving when a smaller one hovered above it and eventually lined up perpendicular to the earth right above it in a straight line. It was fascinating. The other small one flew overhead and we could see the lights in a triangle when it got closer. It was moving WAY to fast to be a plane of any kind and way to far away to be a drone.

Byers, CO
Heard a jet fly over that sounded like it was above my house, and I wondered if a DIA flight pattern changed. Heard it again in a few minutes. The third time when I heard it, I ran outside and it was a diamond shaped aircraft with no round fuselage. Color appeared to be black. It did have a tail like a normal jet. Could not see top, only saw bottom and side. It was heading NE like it was heading from Denver or the mountains, then turned east. I'm guessing about 2000 feet above ground. From the rear of the craft, was a white light on the left and a red light on the right with smaller white lights (three or four) in the center. The lights were blinking. Speed of the craft was like that of a regular airliner. Loudness was high because of the closeness to the ground. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Anchorage, AK
So, standing on my porch having a smoke, and what i thought was a dark cloud over downtowwn anchorage i noticed it slowly moving but not in a cloud movement, you could see it move to see its length and then its width. was a dark grey object. i grabbed my binoculars. When i returned to get a better look it was farther away and when i looked from what i observered it had a "smokey trail". i have no idea what i saw so if anyone also saw this event id love to read what you saw.

Witness was leaving cousin's home returning to Portland after the holidays and reportedly saw a "big red ball" or orb in the sky over Lummi Island, approaching the Reservation . Witness was on Smokehouse Rd. when the object turned North and came almost overhead. It then proceeded North, stopped, and then reversed its course, came back over the Reservation, and finally went out to Lummi Island and hovered there a bit. It then disappeared behind the island. Object was observed for for 10 to 15 minutes. Witness tried to take picture with cell phone but it "wouldn't work right". Color and size doesn't sound like an aircraft navigation light. No sound reported. (MUFON).

Looking up at the sky, we were watching planes fly in different directions. Looking out into the northeast we saw a bright light that we thought to be a bright star. It kept on shining with different intensities of light and randomly. It didn’t have any sort of pattern like a plane or satellite have. It would shine a white light softly then a couple seconds later the light would intensify, brighter than any of the stars or planes in the night sky. It continued this cycle of lights traveling east across the sky for about 20 minutes until it disappeared. It maintained the same color of light the whole time, but the amount of light seemed to be different every time.

Cuba, IL
I remember that day very clearly, it’s a day I won’t forget. My husband and I live out in the country and there are several Amish communities in our area. Also there’s a small town called Cuba about 7 minutes away from our house. It was on a cool night of April 2018, I had to be up early for work the next day so I took my four year old son to his dads house in Cuba. The sun had just set, it must have been 7:30-8p.m. On my way home from dropping my son off, I had just left Cuba. I was driving down the highway there are trees, fields, and Amish houses here and there. I get about a mile from my gravel road I need to turn on and I look up and there are two dark V shaped UFOs, similar to a boomerang, hovering over the Amish Bakery and their house. There were a bunch of white lights on the under sides of the UFOs. They weren’t moving at all, I didn’t hear any noises coming from them and they were both probably as wide as a small house. I can tell you that my mouth! was wide open the whole time. I couldn’t even think! I was just so amazed. There were two cars in front of me and I’m not sure if they saw them or not. I pull onto my gravel road I get my phone out and put my vehicle in reverse. I was going back to record them. They must have saw me turn around because they started to drift away. I wasn’t able to get any pictures. My husband was at work when I got home, I was home within minutes after the UFO sighting. I was home by myself and I was absolutely terrified that they would come find me because of what I saw. Thankfully they did not! I even texted a co-worker to let her know what I saw so that if I went missing she would know. (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

Object moved very fast from a lower elevation to extremely high altitude in a split second

Hello, I find that taking photos when the planes are spraying, often reveals anomalous images. I took this with my cell phone camera. There were no birds flying in the area at which the camera was pointed. Also, I did not see this Being/Creature/Object with my eyes when I took the photos – I could only see the plane. Less than 2 seconds later, I took another shot, and the strange Being/Creature/Object is not visible, but the plane is, and from my viewing point, it has not moved very far from where it was in the first photo.

Saw 6 spheres separated but close all and not in a pattern or shape traveling noticeably faster than stars, but not extremely fast going from North to South.

My husband and I were walking into our home and I saw a bright orange object moving very fast across the night sky. I asked him what it was and as we watched we then saw another one that looked identical flying across the sky just as fast. We watched them until they were out of sight. We've never seen anything of that nature

Eugene, OR
I went inside and grabbed binoculars while my neighbor tried to capture it on his Android phone. When I looked at it through the binoculars I realized it was actually two objects! One following the other and both flashing at irregular intervals. After watching them move slowly across the sky, the brighter one suddenly TURNED SOUTH, continuing to flash every 6-12 seconds for about 30 secs before disappearing. Never seen anything like that happen before. The dimmer object continued E also flashing at odd intervals until it moved past 90deg above us and began quickly fading as if it was going into the earths shadow. First thought was it might have been the Tiangong-1 space station, but a quick check online showed it nowhere near our latitude. A check of the satellite databases showed no objects matching the magnitude, altitude or azimuth observed for the time frame. Whatever they were they appeared to be very high altitude, possibly tumbling and moving very, very slowly compared to satellites or aircraft. Observer #1 has been an astro-imager and satellite tracker for 15yrs+, an aviation enthusiast for over 40 yrs, and has seen a lot of strange looking, but easily explainable, things in the sky. These were VERY odd objects indeed!! Observer #2 has had one other observation of different unknown objects 3 1/2 years ago about 2 miles from this location. Possibly tumbling space debris, giving off intermittent reflections of the Sun?? PD

My spouse and I were traveling home, when we looked up and seen an odd object with lights in the sky. The object was not moving. We snapped some pictures and after about 20 minutes it disappeared.

Around 8pm, I went outside to get groceries out of my car and noticed how big the moon was, so I decided to take a picture of it. At that time two of my cats looked up to the sky towards the same direction of the moon and started going that way as if they seen something and were going to attack. As soon as I look to see what they are looking at my back porch light turned off. I noticed blinking red and white lights at the same exact place above the tree line hovering just like 2 nights before when me and my husband thought it was a jet going over our house and stop and hovered there at the same exact spot but the previous night it only hovered for about 5 mins before moving again and going back around the same way it came only not directly over our house. Also, then there seem to be another one on the direct opposite side hovering and when that one started moving the other just kinda disappeared. But last night was different I only seen that one hovering with blinking red and white lights. I watched it for like 5 or 10 minutes outside then I went in and went to my front door to look out and it seemed to go up and then back to the same spot. My husband was on the way home and by time he got there in a 30 minute period it had move a little above where it was and the lights had stopped blinking, it then looked like any other star in the sky, but I know it wasn't just a star. Once my husband got home and I walked outside the back porch light was back on. I'd say it was there for another 10 to 20 minutes when I looked out again it was gone.

Noticed an object near local small airport, figured it was a plane, but realized there were no wings. Saw red light and said to my 11yr old here comes a helicopter. So we watched as it was coming closer, until it slightly turned and the Sun brightly reflected off its side and nearly made it invisible. Realizing no sound, thought it was a balloon, but it was a perfect triangle. Staying at about 600' above ground, it traveled North filling the CT river, winding as the river does. Seemed to be mapping the river.
