Colorado City, CO
Seemed linear in shape, huge spot lights going down side, lights would appear then go off and re-appear in different area. Very large craft, and no noise comming from if. It flew right over my house then hovered in the valley north of my house. It was almost stealth in motion. There was only one craft. It was a full moon out and you could see the whole valley light in daytime, but could not actually see the craft, I could only speculate it was linear because of way lights were going down side of it! I live in the country and big open space in backyard, we were in hot tub when my girlfriend saw it over neighbors house! The light were huge Amber color! There were posts all over community FB of what people saw, and also videos posted on FB. My girlfriend filmed it for 6 min on smartphone, people reported seeing same lights in Pueblo West, 25 miles north from me!

Oklahoma City, OK
I was headed west on I-40 out of Oklahoma City and saw 3 disk like shapes ahead of me. This occurred around 6:30pm. I saw these for the remainder of my drive for about 3 miles to Yukon, OK. The sky was light and these 3 UFOs were solid lights in the sky and they were not moving just hovering.

Nashua, NH
Sometime around 3:00 to 5:00 am, I want to say around 3:50, me and my borther stepped outside my house for a cigarette, he noted that the moon was huge and and odd color, and I noticed that there were two stars in the sky, the only visible ones, that were lined up pretty much perfectly from our point of view, I thought this was odd and so I pointed at the one on the right and as I did it started moving around a little bit which I then jokingly dismissed as random eye motion, as I finished saying this it took off slowly but at a steady pace across the entire sky all the way out of sight behind my roof. Needless to say its appearance was indistinguishable from a normal star unless there was two of them. I didn't bother pursuing this any further as it was rather disconcerting and I've been having other odd things occurring lately.

Pueblo, CO
I was in my car when I saw several orange balls of light aligned horizontally. They moved together in sync and accelerated and decelerated at the same time. They appeared over Saint Charles Reservoir at Stem Beach 10miles away. They would disappear and then re appear as giant balls of light. They left my view moving with a stealthy pace behind some trees.

Grand Rapids, MI
I saw a large oval or egg shape that streaked from the clouds toward the ground. It was very fast. The oval was very bright white and had an orange halo around it. I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been looking in that direction. There was no sound. Witness changed date to February 28, 2018. Date is corrected above. PD

Arpin, WI
Driving south down a country road with no traffic, street, or houses emitting light. Approximately 45 degrees up from the road i saw one orange ball of light. Instantly there were two as if it divided. The one on the right seemed to dim or disintigrate while simultaneously the one on the left shot off to the east and disappeared.

Centerville, GA
We were driving by the Centervile city hall and passed two lights next to each other. We assumed it was a cell tower but it started to have more lights and some even on the bottom. The bottom lights lit up the underside of the craft and it started to float away. We drove past the area in the morning, and a cell tower was not there, proving it was not a tower. It was an oval shape, and was gone when we looked back. It hovered for a moment though, but was to big to be a helicopter. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was an evening PM sighting. Sorry about that.

Richland, WA
I was out on my back patio smoking a cig. I thought I saw our city helicopter lights then I stood there and watch a second air craft approach I told my boyfriend to look and then all of a sudden the lights on the aircraft start flashing in weird patterns. my boyfriend said they probably refueling a plane, i said no not with those type of lights. I got freaked out and continued to watch from the kitchen window. Then all of a sudden they were gone.

State College, PA
During stargazing, we noticed a large, triangular shaped “transparency” moving across the sky--approximately southwest to northwest. It moved rather quickly for its size (about the time it would take to watch an airplane go across the sky). The size was that of about 15-20 airplanes (as seen from the ground) clustered into a triangle. The shape moved very steadily without zigzagging or changing speeds. The shape was very obvious and visible, yet the object looked essentially transparent. Truly the oddest thing I’ve ever seen.

Jackson, SC
Saw three round looking objects (the color of fire) first one than the second to the right of the first one and the third below (if you connected them it would form a triangle) they all three went out at the same time. After about thirty minutes saw what looked like a shooting star and about twenty minutes saw another shooting star. This happened over the back pasture.

Villa Rica, GA
A buddy and I were on the way to Atlanta. When we got on I-20 coming from the Carrollton/Villa Rica exit, I immediately asked him what we’re these three lights sitting directly over the interstate and not seeming to move at all. The three lights moved slowly to the right side of the road and at this point we started trying to rule out any and all explanations. The lights then started moving over the interstate and we got a full visual of the shape. There was three bright white lights with small lights leading to the center. After we noticed the first three crafts we also noticed two more of the same crafts flying off into the distance. Although the three original crafts were still together they started to make formations. The first formation was a perfect triangle of the triangle ships over the Lee road exit. We lost sight because of the trees shortly after we got to around six flags. This formation of the same three crafts was in a perfectly straight line with two of the crafts heading towards Atlanta and one was heading back towards the the Lee Road exit. I thought about this until my head literally hurt and I’m still lost at to what we saw.

Saw a triangle shaped lights in sky around 19:00 in the Avondale neighborhood in Chicago. Lights were no more than 3k to 4k agl. They were going in a northerly direction. They were not too bright an amber color. About a minute into seeing them they made a sharp turn west, seemed to go up and disappeared.

Escondido, CA
Then after 20 seconds of doing that, it started ascending into the sky. It took about 7 seconds to ascend before disappearing. A few seconds before ascending, it made a jet like noise which I thought was awkward. There were some clouds visible, but it was clear enough to where you could see the stars and all. The video footage I have is unedited, but I did zoom in while filming to get a better view of the object. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be sincere and seemingly sober-minded. PD

Upper Darby, PA
From Upper Darby, I noticed a very bright stationary object in the sky to the east near the Phila. airport. It was still light out and the sky was clear. At first it was just a bright light, but lights began to flash around it as a passenger plane passed by at the same altitude. Then suddenly the light went out. Very shortly after that, a fighter jet flew overhead, headed toward the airport. It was close enough to see missiles on the wings and on the underside of the jet. The jet moved slowly and noiselessly over the neighborhood, in a eastern direction toward where the object had vanished near the airport. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Dear Mr. Davenport, I can assure you this is not a hoax. I understand your question and was surprised myself that it was quiet; and what was odd was that it was flying low over the neighborhood. I am ((age deleted--50's)) years old and have seen many thing in my lifetime; I know enough to know this was an out of the ordinary experience. I regret not taking a picture; I was on my phone at the time. I understand this sounds odd; but I wouldn't have reported it if it wasn't so odd. My wife of 35 years encouraged me to report it. Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely,

Fox 6 news early morning broadcast; city cam caught numerous lights swirling, trailing, flashing and flying around the dark sky. On Facebook they state these were seagulls. https://www.facebook.com/fox6news/ (( Video is accessible from the FOX 6 site shown above, of from the following website, as well: http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=94580 It is worth watching. We do not know what the objects are. We would welcome reports from anyone who personally witnessed the lights. PD))

Ulster, PA
Last night two of my friends wanted to come over to my place to hangout to have a usual guys night. We did what we always do, go out to get something to eat, have a few drinks, and come back to my place to crash. My one friend was having some family issues so he decided to drink a little bit more (a lot more) than usual. He then laid down in my bed when we got back and went into a deep drunken sleep. While my other friend and I decided to stay up play some video games and talk about some things. It was about 4:30 am when heard a very loud BOOM. One that shook the house so hard that woke my very intoxicated friend right out of his deep slumber. He wasn’t all there so he didn’t know what was going on. My other friend and I on the other hand quickly looked out the window to see if there was a transformer that blew or something along those lines . We then heard the fire department sirens from down the road go off. At that point we just assumed it was a blown transformer, but shortly after the first boom about 5 minutes we then heard another big BOOM just as loud if not louder than the first one and then saw multiple lighting bolts shock their way into the sky along with an object that shot up along with it almost as if it were some form of projectile. Curious to see what was happening the three of us drove around by the fire department to see what was going on. A volunteer fire fighter that I went to high school with a couple years back then told me that these loud booms came from the woods up on one of the mountains, and that they went up to see if there was a forest fire. Some of the residents that they talked to said that they also saw the lightning bolts shock their way from towards the ground into the sky. To top this all off the women that owns the antique store said that her dogs were acting strange, barking at nothing moments before the first boom and that her son that lives across the street were doing the same. The fire! fighters also stated that they could find no evidence of a lig! htning s trike no smoke, fire, nothing from where the lightning originated. It makes me wonder where this ETC came from. After processing what happened I think that this UFO broke the sound barrier as it was entering the atmosphere and did the same as it shot up and left the atmosphere. I can’t give a certain description on what this “ufo” looked like because I thought it was a spherical shaped and my friend said it looked like the shape of a cucumber. I’m not sure if its because this object was going fast or if it was because it was the beginning of the morning and was a little dark for us to get a good look. I would like to know more about what happened so if anyone might know feel free to get ahold of me. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and found him to be quite evasive and dismissive about his report. He did not want to speak with a local newspaper journalist. We suspect a hoax.

Then the object which was round, it would dash across the sky, come to a complete stop at a certain point. I saw it for so long I'd counted to eight, it would repeat that for a long time...the object had lights that I could see, red and yellow. It then changed to two objects which then turned into triangles that followed each other. They would be two and then became They did that for a while. Zizaging, moving apart and then coming together. Then they disappered. But the round object..would move come to complete stop and repeated that a lot of times...it was absolutely An absolutely unbelievable experience I'll never forget it...the beaming lights from the object to the sky was amazing. I'm going to set my clock for 3am..unbelievable, but I am reluctant to tell anyone..but still going out tonight.

The object would speed up at a very fast rate and zig zag slow down and come to a complete stop. Then looked like multiple very dim white lights getting pulled to the object like it was a magnet. For some reason, witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

Yakima, WA
The first page of this report was submitted on 02/12/18 but I have been observing the lights for an additional two weeks now so I kept notes with the original statement and am now submitting notes on the entire 14 nights of observation. Please, if possible, do respond to me as offered in the Center's voice message, these appearances are growing disturbingly unsettling and no one else can offer any advice or explanation. Last night, Feb. 12, 2018, I was watching television in the back room at about 7 p.m. When through the window I noticed an unusually bright star in an unfamiliar area of the sky. As I watched, the star seemed to move back and forth quickly and repeatedly. My curiosity was aroused, so I went out to the front porch and turning off the porch light, stood looking at the unusual star. In the full darkness (we live in a rural area) I could also see that the star was giving off faint alternating red, yellow and green glows. It would remain steady for a time and then suddenly, with no warning, shoot rapidly off to one side then without visibly stopping, shoot rapidly back in the direction from which it came. It did not turn around, it simply reversed direction midflight. And it was very fast, like a ball hit by a bat! My curiosity grew and I got a pair of binoculars to get a better look as the star was, of course, distant. Although it was very dark, with the binoculars I could see that the glow I was glimpsing was comprised of a double row of lights which appeared to encircle what I was beginning to suspect was an aircraft of some type. I went in and called the Sheriff's Dept. and reported the sighting and asked if anyone else had reported seeing the object. The dispatcher said they had received no other calls but suggested I contact the Military Training Center located near my home. I called them and was told that they weren't doing any aerial maneuvers that night and no one had mentioned seeing the unusual light in the sky. It was shift change and I was not able to get anyone to go out and look into the sky to see if they could see it. (I called again later and the person I spoke with just advised me to call local authorities as the light wasn't appearing over the base, so was outside their jurisdiction.) I continued watching the light until 11:00 p.m. During this time it became much more active, shooting rapidly from a motionless position sometimes straight up, sometimes horizontally, then, without pausing at all, reversing direction and returning to its original position. It never appeared to turn, it simply reversed itself on its existing plane without slowing, one moment it was going east and then suddenly it was going west! Eventually the light began traveling in a wide arc around my house, passing over the town of Selah and disappearing behind the leafless branches of the trees in my back yard. As it made these passes it seemed to come much closer, with the binoculars I could make out a faint gray shape, somewhat like a clamshell form with lights circling the middle. It didn't come close enough to see clearly even with the binoculars because it was very dark and I could only see the vague shape due to the illumination from encircling lights it carried. Over the four hours that I observed it, I didn't watch it constantly, just kept checking every few minutes to see where it was and what it was doing as it had begun to make me nervous, it performed many odd maneuvers. A few times it would dart back and forth in an “invisible” perimeter, similar to a “superball” slamming wildly about in every direction inside a translucent globe. Other times it would unexpectedly shoot straight up until it disappeared and then suddenly reappear in the distance exactly retracing its upward path on its return. Sometimes it would suddenly disappear, like turning off a light bulb, then reappear somewhere else in the sky, usually at a distance but unmistakable because of its shape and colors. Once or twice two other smaller lights appeared and darted around the original for a few minutes and then disappeared. The smaller lights moved just as quickly and deftly as the larger but didn't give off any colors apart from their “starlight” glow. As the h! ours passed the original light seemed to grow larger and more vivid. By the time I went to bed at 11:00 p.m., It was much easier to make out without binoculars, looking like a tiny burst of fireworks high in the distant sky. When I first spotted the light I called my sister-in-law and her husband outside to view it as well, they saw it and commented on how odd it was, how quickly it moved and we all wondered what it was. I also called a neighbor to see if she had a phone which could snap pictures or take video of this light. I walked over to her house and pointed it out to her, she commented that she had seen odd lights once or twice before in the area. She tried to film it but her phone wasn't capable of capturing a viable image, in the distance it just looked like a star and she didn't have video capability. 02/13/18 –-The light is again in the night sky in relatively the same spot it was “based” last night. It moves around but always seems to return to the same spot. At first it appears to just be a very bright star, one among many in the sky just brighter and slightly larger than the others. But after a few seconds observation it begins to move, always returning to its original position in the sky. It is very high, far above the flight path of passing airplanes and MUCH faster than the planes. With binoculars you can see that it gives off an alternating red and green glow, sometimes the glow is barely visible without binoculars. It is cloudy tonight but the light and some stars are still visible although at times they are partially obscured by the clouds but the bright moving light is visible as a glow even when obscured by clouds. The light blinks off and on at times as well as occasionally giving off the alternating red and green glow. 02/14/18 – Light again in the sky tonight, neither as bright nor as active as the past two nights but still moves around, then returns to “base” and remains immobile for 5-20 seconds then begins to move again. At 7:14 p.m. it suddenly erupted into a miniature “fireworks” display for about 30 seconds – a burst of cascading colors which in the distance appears to be about the size of a pencil eraser. Again tonight I checked on it sporadically for hours and it is always there. 02/15/18 – Very overcast tonight, can’t even see the moon much less stars or the strange light. 02/16/18 – The object is again in the sky in its usual spot, as each time before it is motionless until I watch it for a few seconds, then it begins to move. Honestly this is beginning to disturb me, it is almost as if it remains motionless until it becomes aware of me either inside at the unlit window or on the back porch. Does it remain motionless when not being observed? If so, how does it detect observation from such a distance? I wish I could film it to see if it only moves when being observed. I have wondered if it is an illusion, but I asked Mark and Karen to come to look as well again tonight and both of them remarked on how quickly and obviously it moved and how agile it appears to be. They are not small movements, it goes both short and long distances but always eventually returns to its “base”. It is very obviously not a plane. We are near an airport and planes pass by fairly regularly, the light is far above them, moves much faster, can stop completely an! d remain still and performs maneuvers that a plane could never do and I suspect neither could a helicopter. What is this thing?? 02/17/18 – The light is not as active tonight as usual, also it has moved its “base” slightly to the west. I have tried looking for it during the day but it only seems to be visible after dark. I have gotten up at odd hours, midnight, 3:00 a.m. and 5 a.m. and since it is still da
