Clear sky at approximately 10:05 PM. Out walking dogs, and looked up at the constellation, Orion's Belt, and saw an area of the sky lighting up with random lights, blinking on and off. The groud moved from the north, to the east. I yelled for my son and he ran out to see the last minute or so they were visible in the sky. I could here a faint noise in the sky. I did not see any type of aircraft or object...just the bright blinking lights. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was driving with my 3 kids when we seen 4 bright red lights flying in the sky. They were in a triangular shape at first and then changed shape. One of the lights seemed to change color.

Concord, NH
My boyfriend and I were driving from exit 16 to get onto I-93 South. Over what approximately would be concord quarries, I observed three round lights in a row, the middle one was red and blinking. I never took my eyes off of the lights. It was not traveling like a plane or helicopter, over course of approximately two minutes the lights hovered closer and closer until they were very large and above the car. I could not determine what its mode of locomotion was, the object made no noise. Quite suddenly it was over the car and I looked up and out and was confused, as all I saw were the three lights. Then I widened my range of vision and realized the three lights were at the center base of an alarming large air craft just over head. The shape can be closest described as trapezoid in nature. The vessel was moving and I lost sight of it as it traveled over the top of the car. Unfortunately, we had to get off the highway at the next exit and I was unable to track this object any further.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA
During the evening while sitting around our fire pit, my family and I noticed a small yellow/orange oval-shaped object zipping across the night sky traveling well over the normal speed of a plane/jet or fighter jet. Going from left to right (W to E) from our perspective, it was zipping across the top of the San Gabriel Mountains. As crazy as it sounds, once it just got passed Cajon Pass, the oval-shaped object split into two. When this occurred, the second object became red and both the yellow/orange and red object looped around in a full complete circle. Once the object meets up with one another during the course of the loop, the object became one again only making the yellow/orange oval shape visible and flew back westward towards Mt. Baldy. When it got past Mt. Baldy, the object seemed to have vanished, not to be seen by our eyes any longer. We tried to capture what we were seeing via our cell phones, as we didn't have a camera on hand, but we were to far away for our cameras to capture the oval-shaped object. This all occurred in under 3 and half minutes (31/2 minutes)

My friend and I saw a large, strange yellow glow in the night sky. It came on slowly, and went off slowly. It was not coming on in any certain interval of time. Wondering what this was, we drove towards it. We then noticed that there was one off to the right, and one off to the left. The one on the left had THREE yellow lights that would turn on one at a time, one right after the next, going from left to right. Then it would move its position in the sky and do it again. We drove as far as we could, to a dead end, and turned off the headlights to try to see it more clearly. We watched it for at least 15 minutes. Neither one of us could explain what we were seeing. Finally, they stopped. They were gone.

As I continued to view the two objects I watched a third that seemed to drop down from above my focus to an altitude similar to the other 2 objects and north of them again the three maneuvered back into a horizontal line with quite a bit of distance between each other. After that maneuver, they then b roke the line and moved closer to form a triangular formation and slowly moved out towards the ocean and then back towards my viewing position. After watching these slow manuvers for some time I noticed a 4th and 5th object materialiing or moving from very high in the sky down towards the other objects and as these other two became about the same size as the others they all formed another horizontal line from north to south, evenly spaced, and kept that formation for a short while then the orginal two pretty much stayed at the same altitude and eventually moved appart and one went west into the sun set and flew into a contrail that was left by a passing aircraft while the other stayed in my viewing location at anywhere from 50 to 80 degrees angle to my location. The other additional 3 slowly moved west outside of my location viewing as roof lines and trees blocked me from following them and by this time my arms were getting tired of holding binoculars plus it was getting darker and the red filters were losing affect and just darkening my vision. Also when I tried viewing without the red filters or with just my naked eyes but without the filters, the objects weren't visible to me. I will check again on Sunday around the same time and see if my elusive objects return to the area.

All of a sudden it was directly over my truck about as high as a helicopter again. Then it traveled agaist the wind for about 10 blocks and went in line with the sun where we couldn't look at it any more and kept going straight up. Have not seen it again since. I attempted to record it but my phone could not focus on it. I got 2 images that are blurry, but I will send them via email. We have amended the date above, to reflect a sighting in 2018, and not in 2017. PD

Night time extra activities in neighborhood. No people visible. Multiple bright white lights low to ground behind one house. Feelings are nervous and alert. This is towards the front side of house across the street. About an hour passes and our house appears to be under some light. Viewing out back of house notice a cold clear night with stars in the sky. A couple of stars dancing about. Notice a fog like cloud rolling over house. The lights from town start flashing multiple colors simontanously. Lights of town seem to be warping. 39 year old son says they are getting ready. Hear what sounds almost like a muffled jet engine. Appears that most of the city lights are hovering over house in back. Appears to be a small being to front of said house. There appears to be some form of pumping in upper window of house which also appears in windows of multi colored vehicle. My son videoed the event. This vehicle stayed for several minutes. My son has another video fr! om December 10th, 2017, which he does not remember taking. He has time loss from that time and now claims to be able to see some aliens about. These activities have been going on for the past few months. We believe military and/or civilians are assisting in some way.

My cousin went outside to throw away the trash after we finished eating breakfast. He then returns and tells everyone that their are UFO’s outside. I thought he was joking but his wife went outside to look first my wife followed and then my kids and I followed. I looked up and in the sky I saw shiny dots in the sky. I observed the objects and then returned inside to get my iPhone to document what I saw. I called my sister and told her what I saw and I tried to face time her so she could witness the UFO’s that I was looking at. The face time did not work because they were to far up and I could not zoom in. I texted her the photos and videos I took on my phone. We continued watching the objects for 15 minutes or so. Everyone else went back inside and I continued watching the UFO’s. I then walked for a block to catch a Pokémon and when I looked up I did not see the UFO’s. As I walked back to my cousin's house, I then saw a father who was looking after his son who was riding a bike. I told him what I saw and I showed him the pictures and Videos I took. I then started walking back inside my cousin's house, and I saw the UFO’s, so I ran to the Man with his son and asked if they wanted to see the object I saw. They said yes. We walked closer to the house and looked up and showed them. I asked if they looked like drones. He replied, “No Way”. I observed planes in the air and compares them to what I saw and the objects were much higher. The objects seemed to hover and remain still. One was slowly moving as the others remained still. My wife and two kids were hanging out by the pool and I joined them. I only sat outside with my wife as the kids were playing in the pool. I continued to look at the sky and could only observe one UFO. The UFO eventually was so far up in the sky I could no longer see it. I was able to observe the UFO’s for close to an hour. I did not know who to call so I looked up the UFO hotline online on my phone. I left a message and received a call back and I then wrote down what I observed and filled out this report. Take a look at the videos and pictures for reference. Thanks, ((name deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be well-spoken, and seemingly quite serious-minded. He has forwarded four photos and videos to NUFORC, which we plan to post, together with this report. PD

About a mile north of town, Witness reported a shiny, reflective, cigar-shaped object pass over his field of vision while driving on highway 26. The object went from NW to the E over the horizon before leaving his FOV. About 45 seconds later, a second object appeared in the NW and again passed over him. Halfway through it appeared to descend suddenly straight down without changing its angle, like a helicopter. It descended for 3-4 seconds before heading in the same direction as the first object. A third object appeared from the NW and followed roughly the same direction as the previous two. Entire encounter lasted roughly 6-7 minutes or less. (MUFON CMS)

Wamic, OR
When I looked over at the mountain over the mountain there was a very faint star and then a upside down triangle appeared as faintly as the star, but it was bright enough I could tell the shape. The stars were in the shape of an upside down triangle. Then it faded out and disappeared. It would fade in and out. It then changed shape into a big cluster of stars when it faded back in. Then faded out. Then changed again to the triangle shape when it faded back in. There was a moment that there looked like a blue orb like something had exploded. It did not look like I was seeing something in our atmosphere I felt like I was watching a war in space. I tried to wake my boyfriend up to show him, but his eyes wouldn’t focus and he went back to bed. I sat and watched it for about 5 more minutes and then went back to bed. When I woke up at 3am a couple hours later there was nothing there. All was faded out and did not fade back in. Even the faded star that stayed in the sky during the hole episode. The sky’s have been too cloudy to see since then.

Kandiyohi, MN
I was driving at night and was just looking up at the clear night sky, observing all the stars. Off to my right side in my front windshield I noticed this bright orange light in the sky. I immediately thought it was just a really bright star. As I was driving, I kept observing it, note there were no other cars around me and I was out in the country. As I stared at it, it got brighter and brighter, it was a first orange. All the sudden as I’m watching it, it’s as if someone turned off a light. It just went out and never showed back up again. It lasted a good 10 minutes. I watched it for awhile. It moved slightly but mostly remained still in one place high in the sky. I’m no stranger to sightings.

Dayton, TX
I saw a large white light. For a moment I thought, shooting star, but quickly realized that there was no way. First it was too large. The large light was appeared to be about the size of an airplane high up. Second the light was brilliant white, almost blue. It was rather diamond shaped, with the light fading behind the back corner. This ‘corner’ didn’t actually touch, but seemed to trail behind. Inside these two trails was a small second light. Easily 1/16 the size of the large light, maybe smaller. As I drove North on Highway 321 from Dayton, I noticed this light shooting through the sky. I saw it from the top of my windshield to maybe halfway down the windshields which point it vanished. I thought it had maybe gone behind a tree I couldn’t see in the dark. But after driving further, there was no tree in the area. The light moved fast. When it went it did not fade or slowly disappear, it was just gone as if someone had turned off the switch. I do not know ! what I saw. But I know that I have never seen anything like it before.

At first I guessed that it was a reflection off a plane (2 airports are nearby), but I don’t see how that’s possible because the sun was behind it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I've been watching the sky's since 12/16/17, when I first started noticing something in the sky that looked like a star but it had white and red lights twinkling. But when I realized there were others who looked somewhat identical. They've even come down and posed for photos on another night. 2 nights ago I put my tablet up in sky cuz I noticed they were up there posted just hovering when I saw one moving west, I aimed tablet at it trying to record it when this report like object came down to me again but I can't see it in plain site only through Tablet camera.

Morristown, NJ
The event occurred traveling northbound on interstate 287 between Basking Ridge and Morristown. Visibility was good at street level but the sky was opaque with low lying cloud cover. At approximate 7:30am EST, a dark triangle moved through my field of vision on a westerly trajectory, through the clouds, disturbing the cloud around it as it traveled like a hand through smoke. I could not get a definitive view as it was using the cloud cover. All that was visible was its triangular shape and that it was black or very dark grey. It was silent, had no lights and was moving at a fast rate of speed. Viewing lasted for about 4 seconds. My best estimate is that the object was about a half a mile downrange and maybe 200-300 feet above the ground, Just high enough to use the cloud cover. Considering the distance and size of the object in my field of view my best guess is that it was about 100' from edge to edge. Morristown does have a small airport, but whatever this was, it just didn't look like a plane or anything you would normally see.
