First, saw a bright white, stationary light in the sky, after a few seconds it appeared to be heading west at a high rate of speed...we were going 75 MPH in a westward direction. It did not have any flashing lights and was not an airplane. The light was very, very bright and FAST.

Charlotte, NC
On Saturday night, around 7:15pm, I went out onto my back deck to grill out. As soon as I hit the deck, I immediatly saw a line of large round orange balls, heading from north to south towards our airport. They were in a straight line as far as I could see. From left to right the sky was full of them, I would say about 15 to 20 orbs, but each was staggered behind each other, all at the same altitude, approx 1,000 to 2,000 ft above my location, and approx 75 to 100 feet apart from each other. As soon as I saw them, I went back into the house and yelled for my wife to come out here, she came immediately and saw what I was seeing. As they flew by the last ones about 4 or 5 of them started to go dim and then they went totally dark, it was mind blowing, they had no sound and were very bright orange they had no red, green or white nautical (sic. navigation?) lights on them. About 5 or 6 minutes later, I called 911 and reported what we saw. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Jacksonville, FL
Very quickly a white disc shaped object zoomed down almost to the water then east and west and almost to ground at end of Pottsburg Creek; object zoomed across my view and disappeared. I was unable to hit video on phone but did press camera. Zoomed (1 second) to south and disappeared. I was yelling on phone to my brother “hold on hold on something over water flying over water”. My brother asked what but continued our conversation. I have included original picture and enlarged picture the best of my ability.

Annapolis, MD
I could clearly make out with the naked eye three red lights in a tight line flashing together in the distance at about 45 degrees above the horizon, with two or more white lights just next to them. They remained stationary for at least 30 minutes. They could have been a couple of hundred yards to a half-mile away; it was difficult to tell the size of the object to which the lights were attached. There was no sound of a helicopter or plane. The line of lights was tilted vertically. They flashed erratically. The white and red lights synchronized a few times. Sometimes the white lights ceased, leaving just the red ones. They did not move. I watched them about five minutes the first time, made the first video at 1855 (6:55pm) and I took video 2 at 18:58 (6:58pm). I then went into the Fresh Market supermarket. My girlfriend and I emerged about 25 minutes later and the lights were still there in the same position. We then departed. I've since been back to the site, and there is no tower there that might have had lights on it. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Peter-- Thanks for the reply! Yes, to the eye they were (at least) three red lights bunched in a line very closely, with two/three white lights that almost overlapped the red, and strobed in and out of sync with them. The red lights were always flashing and very erratic in rhythm and intensity. Yes, you can certainly share the videos. ((END ADDENDUM))

Issaquah, WA
We were driving down I-90 eastbound through Issaquah. We noticed many paragliders near the mountain so we were looking up. Then my mom pointed out a completely static sphere hovering above the trees. It was white. It was smaller than the paragliders and below them. I watched for about 30 seconds before I was able to get my phone out to record. It did not move at all. I'm sure the paragliders must have seen it, as it was just below them. We rounded the hill and could no longer see it. Video provided by witness shows a very small image of a light-colored object in the norther sky. We are unable to make a positive identification of the object. PD

Lagrange, IN
Sitting at desk looking over photos from previous night's ISS pass over, witness heard what he thought to be a snow plow coming around the corner from the SE, but there was no snow on ground. Had to be jets based on the sounds. He grabbed his camera next to him and got to the door in seconds, the sound intensifying as two A-10s flew over the house headed NW followed by sounds fading fast. He ran out the door down the steps and half the driveway for a clear shot without trees blocking line of sight. He obtained one photo in with the wrong setting (nothing but white) changed settings to auto adjust then got a series of photos focusing on the A-10s using the viewfinder to watch them before they got too far for the camera to capture clearly. Then he watched for a few seconds by eye clearly seeing two planes but a third object ahead of them darker and smaller didn't seem to be a third plane. Trees and horizon blocked his sight as they flew over to the N. He went back inside and started looking to magnify the photos and noticed the dark object they were following in the photos was too blurry for him to really see any marking or even basic shape. He showed these photos to the family and they weren't too sure what the third object was either. For years the A-10s have had training flights right over their house at least once or twice a year. There has always seemed to be just two A-10s that he'd seen flying in formation using the farms and silos as targets, they usually branch out over both roads after crossing over his house. The sounds just seemed different this time to him. this time you can see in the photos they are both heading the same way after a dark object. One plane appears to be changing course to follow the object. [Photos submitted to MUFON].

Phoenix, AZ
Just after enjoying the cake on my daughter's second birthday at my parents' home in the Arcadia area of Phoenix, I looked out the dining room window and said, "What's that?" My mother and I went outside to see several silvery-whitish orbs (definitely a metallic glint) in the sky above our home, not sure how high up, but perhaps a half mile? What was remarkable about them was that they were doing what was some kind of coordinated dance; two and three orbs would merge together into one orb, and then would separate again, and spin around each other gracefully. In some cases three orbs would form a triangle with three points, and then merge into one orb again, and then move back into a triangle formation. Other times two orbs would merge, separate, dance around each other, and then merge again. I have seen a number of UFOs in my life, but this was most remarkable, and clearly not of this world. Interestingly, my mother was not able to see them other than saying, "All I see are some glints of metal in the sky." She could not see the orbs merging together, separating, and dancing around each other, although her eye sight is fine. I attempted to film this display, but had a nearly impossible time getting my camera phone to focus on the objects, it seemed like they didn't want to be filmed! So was not able to capture much.

I have never seen an object move this quickly. There were (guessing) half a dozen bright lights on the object. I have never reported/seen a UFO in the past.

Walsenberg, CO
March 2, 2018, about 1030 at night. It was a clear cloudless night, with a full moon. I was driving north on I-25 near Aguilar, CO, when I saw about 5 yellowish orange lights fade on and off in a row. From where I was, it appeared they might have been between Walsenberg, CO, or Colorado City, CO. I saw these lights 5 or 6 times. I called a buddy who was about 20 minutes behind me on I-25 to tell him about it and he saw them also. I stopped at the truck stop in Walsenberg, where there is a big dirt lot in the back. The lot is open and clear of anything that would block my view. To try and see this again and to try to get a video of it, which I did. At this point, I had seen these about 6 times in a 20 minute period. The last time I saw the lights, I got a video of it and shortly after I heard 2 maybe 3 military jets (I saw 1) flying in the direction of the lights. Unfortunately, my video isn’t very good, since it was the first time I’ve used the video camera on my phone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cotopaxi, CO
On the evening of March 2nd, 2018, at approx. 10:30 pm, I went outside to let the dog do her business. As I was waiting for her, I got a strange vibe or felt somewhat spooked, which is unusual for me. For some reason I felt prompted to look up to the east and I saw an orange ball of light moving toward the north. It came to a standstill and sat for several seconds then suddenly blinked out. There was a fairly bright moon that evening, which was not quite overhead, but it did not seem to diminish the brightness of these lights. Just a few seconds later 3 orange balls appeared one at a time in a horizontal row just above the trees but somewhat north of the first one. They became very bright and sat still for perhaps a minute or two. I called my husband to come take a look but by the time he arrived they had blinked out one at a time. I could then barely see a less bright orange ball back behind the trees which looked further away, that was moving northeast until it completely disappeared into the trees. It was hard for me to determine the size or distance, but they were not very high and seemed to have the ability to change from dim orange to bright orange, or totally blink out completely.

About 6 orange lights appear one by one in a line or a triangle, then disappear. Event lasted for about an hour we also observed what appeared to be military helicopters trying to get closer to the lights.

Fort Worth, TX
Location: Fort Worth, TX, 76114 On Friday March 2, 2018 at 21:10, while standing in front of my house in Ft. Worth, Texas, I observed a bright blue sphere in the night sky. As I looked up at the brightly lit full moon, my eye was immediately drawn to the brilliant blue sphere. I immediately pulled out my phone and captured a picture, time stamps on phone show the first picture taken at 20:11. At one point I ran inside to retrieve my digital camera. I was inside for about 3 minutes. I rushed back outside to continue taking more pictures and video. I continued to observe the object for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, I observed the blue sphere moving around in the night sky (screen shot of pics on my phone shows various locations). My attention was still focused on the round blue object. I went inside and downloaded the images on to my computer to review. After spending time on my computer, I went out to the backyard to take one last look. To my surprise, the object was still visible in the night sky. I took another photo at 22:27 of the blue sphere. When I later viewed my pictures and video I saw other objects, what appears to be flying metallic objects. Even though I was standing in the middle of the street taking pictures, as far as I know none of my neighbors saw anything. We have looked at the still photos that have been forwarded to our Center by the witness. The small, blue-green object in those photos seems to us to be strongly reminiscent of lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. However, if the witness did, in fact, see the object with her normal vision, the objects are not lens flares, which are caused by reflections off the surfaces of the lens elements in the objective lens of a camera.

Windber, PA
Break in the clouds gave way to a triangle craft spinning in formation like levitating freely. That is what made us know it was them. It made both me and my friends eyes start watering instantly. I yelled up to it, "We see you" And threw up a peace sign then it disappeared. Also to add, my friend's car battery had just died and i was trying to jump his car when this happened we both looked up same time.. Not sure if any time was missing as we were stunned. We attempted to contact via telephone the source of the report, but was unable to reach him. We question whether the report is since, but we can never know for certain. PD

Colorado Springs, CO
At sunset at my house, I was heading inside from playing catch with my son and happened to look up at the sky in the west to southwest direction from Colorado Springs and saw what looked light a slightly brighter than normal star. I could tell that this was pretty far away and too large to be a drone at this distance. At first glance I did not think anything of what I thought was a bright star appearing at sunset, after maybe only 2 or 3 seconds of first glance while the original "light" (what I though was a star) was stationary in the sky another light appeared directly to the left of the original light. This second light then stopped at a some distance to the left of the original light. The second light first appeared at the halfway point between where the original light was and where the second light stopped and remained stationary. I could not tell if the second light originated from the first light because it was first seen at the midway point. The second light did however travel from the midway point to the left of the original light. When the second light stopped, there was a third light that then did the same thing, starting some distance to the left of the second light, travel a distance to the left and then stopped. As soon as the third light appeared, the first light then disappeared. However, the first and the third light did co-exist for roughly 1 second. Process then repeated around 8 or 9 times in a perfect horizontal direction over roughly 10 to 15 seconds. I could not see the lights past that point because of trees and buildings. The lights appeared around twice the size and brightness of a normal star and moved in a perfect sequence of disappearing and reappearing lights with a "middle light" always present during the sequence. This also happened over a great distance and eventually left my visibility.

Redmond, WA
Six bright lights with one dark object underneath them in the sky over Redmond, WA. They were moving SW to NE at 5:45 PM on 3/2/18 just underneath the cloud cover. There was one bright light some distance ahead of the other five objects. They were all traveling at the same speed. The four bright lights trailing the lead object would quickly change position in the sky. Much quicker than I would suspects an airplane could do. The dark object underneath those four objects never changed position. There was no noise associated with their movement through the sky. I was not able to get to a camera quick enough to take a picture.

It was between 1:00a.m and 1:30 a.m. Before bed I went to take our dog out to potty automatically upon opening the door I noticed something far off that felt out of place and unusual. At first glance it looked like a bright star until i noticed it was moving. I looked closer and seen 3 colors of lights. Blue white and red, the red was flashing. It looked as if it was vibrating moving in a unpredictable pattern but confined. I went and woke up my husband to make sure i wasn't seeing things and he thought it was a tower. Iv lived in this area for 15 years and know where all the towers are. It's not hard to spot something out of place if you live 20 min away from any town in the middle of fields. We just checked now to see if it's there again and there is nothing in that spot. I thought it could have been a drone. I don't know how long it stayed because I went to bed.

I ran in to grab my phone to take photos but the phone died even though I had just charged it. The same thing happened this time when I tried to record. About ten mins later, six lights slowly emerged one by one in a uniform line and crossed over the Farm land. It looked like a tent shape form was hanging from the light. They just hovered over the land. So I grabbed my flashlight and shined it at the lights. One then started moving toward my house. When I stopped shiner my flashlight the one retreated back in line with the others. Then they just seemed to disappear one by one after 50 mins.

Pueblo, CO
Three lights, western sky, in a line evenly spaced, left to right. Burning yellow in color. Almost sparkler like. Then mass of lights same color and effect, to the right, (north), some distance from original three. They turned off, then two lights same effect, in original linear arry. Turned off shortly ofter turning on. Moments later, array of three lights, same color, larger and more complex, center light slightly lower than two on far left and far right. A shallow triangle, if you will. These lights were definitely unusual. Western sky, from south-central Pueblo. Witness provides no contact information. PD

My friend and I were getting out of is truck in front of my home, to go inside. He noticed a strange light in the sky to the west over the treeline. I turned and saw nothing at first, he said it went off, then just as I was about to give up, and go inside, it appeared again. The first sighting was as a heading of about 260 degrees, it looked like a somewhat linear cluster of yellow orageish lights, very close together. If the lights were a solid object, (I got the impression they were on a solid object). It appeared to be banked at about a 45 to 225 degree angle. It suddenly disappeared, we talked about it, and kept visually scanning the sky. I turned away, he saw it again. It disappeared again, then as we talked about it and studied the sky some more, I saw it as just three points of yellow orange light, brighter than the firsst time I saw it, but with fewer lights showing at about 245 degrees. The three lights were oriented so as to form the three corners! of an oblate triangle. They shown for a few seconds then went out again. We watched the sky a while longer but never saw them again. The lights were moving, but relative to us seemed very slow. The could have been as close at half a mile away, over Minnequa Lake, or much farther away. Of course, if they were much further away the ob object would have been massive. It’s a dark clear night, there is a moon but it was not within our scope of vision. Nearby there is a hospital heliport roughly 220 degrees from our position, Helicopters can be heard from here running up there engines, taking off, and landing, but there were no obvious aircraft running or navigating from out position. I’ve seen lots of aircraft landing lights in my time, the oblate triangle shape resembled an array of landing lights arranged on landing gear of aiircraft, but, they weren’t the color, cool white of landing lights I’d seen in the past, and there is no nearby airport for a plane to be landing at in that direction, nor were there any sign of red, green, becon, or strobe lights. Again, the lights we saw were the color of sodium vapour street lights.
