Concord, NH
My wife and I spotted a blinking white light that looked like an aircraft in the northern sky. The blinking light originally moved like an airplane but it would then be erratic, disappearing for a moment then reappearing a ways away from where it was last seen and moving in a different direction that it was originally traveling. At times it would be stationary then begin moving again. Location and direction seemed to be completely random although it remained mainly in the same general area. We watched it for well over five minutes while driving on the interstate. At one point it appeared to move to a new area about fifteen degrees away from the original location then stopped altogether.

I noticed what I thought was a planet like object near the moon as I was walking. It was when I first noticed it approximately 5 or 6 degree east north east of the moon. I watched as it moved from east north east to west south west at approximately 1 degree per minute. The sky was totally clear and sun light still very bright. There was no contrail.

I was pulling into the parking lot where I work. The sun was just about to set far to my right passenger side window. The sky was still very bright and I saw a round ball very bright silver and gold color high in the sky through my windshield. I have seen many airplanes reflecting off the setting sun and this was nothing like that. This was so extremely bright in the already bright clear blue sky I stopped my car to get a better look before I pulled into a parking spot and it suddenly took off with such speed it was just gone in a second. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Just amazing. I checked my dash cam but the sky was still so bright it didn't pick up the object that high in the sky, but I certainly saw it with my eyes. You can email me if you have any questions.

Colorado Springs, CO
Object that hovered over mountains and appeared to alter direction several times and vary in size/ shape. Seemed much too large for a drone, and don’t think drone would be visible given the distance.

I was driving to work on I-87 South bound, between exits 14 and 13, and all of a sudden, I saw an object, flying from the northeast toward the south. I thought at first it was a plane crashing because of the size. It was massive. The size was approximately 30 yards across and it was in the shape of a mushroom/whale tail, almost triangular, but not. The color was bright neon green and there was a darker neon green light around the perimeter of the object and then a lighter neon green light on the inner part. This object just appeared in the sky and lit up and then disappeared again. It was traveling so fast, similar to shooting star speed. And the length of time I saw it was approximately 3 seconds. It was also about 1/4 mile in the air, as thought it seemed. It was low, like a plane would be if it's in mid-landing.

Was on back porch having cigarette and letting dog out. Very clear sky this morning, Selfridge Air Base is nearby to east. Detroit Metro Airport traffic usually travels from North West to South. This bright object caught my eye as it was “Lit” for a long duration (5-8 seconds) vs. “normal aircraft” constant blink. The light was white only and would slowly fade out and light again in random patterns and be very faint in between. Pulse would be better description than blinking. It started coming from West towards me (East) made various quick slight changes of direction (not following typical air traffic of Selfridge or Detroit Metro traffic) would say at first I thought perhaps a plane in distress. Than pulsed bright again only to fade out and move quick and suddenly towards South East. Was faint again for 15-20 seconds than pulsed again in a direct South and became faint and watched object travel extremely fast continuing in same Southern direction. The speed always was faster than normal jets from Selfridge would slow for moments still faster than normal jet. At the end when it moved “extremely fast” I would compare to shooting star speed. I did a hand sketch of flight pattern which I will email (in pdf form).

I work security at Four Hills area and a local pd officer in the area saw the anomaly as well. Two circular objects North West of us over the city gave off extremely bright and yellow and green light low to the ground for about a minute before dissipating. It lit up my patrol vehicle, atleast 10-15 miles away, it looked to be over Comanche and I-25 freeway

I was driving with 2 friends and we saw what we thought was a shooting star and a flash then it stopped and formed into a line of white lights with two red lights and got brighter and stayed in the same position then we saw other smaller lights vomming off of it then I stopped my truck and stepped out to look at it and saw literally hundreds of them everywhere. This lasted for hours.

Was driving southwest on Pequot Trail approaching intersection of Farmholm Road and was distracted by a very bright greenish yellow light off to my right/front (N) of the vehicle. Object was fast moving, heading in a downward trajectory as if to hit the ground. Object appeared to have a round shape behind the light, which was in silhouette.

Corte Madera-Mt. Tamalpais, CA
Strange grouping of plasma fireball objects were observed interacting with each other in groups of 4 to 5. These were some of the most bizarre looking objects I've ever seen. One object to the left of this group was an oval bright yellowish orange. 2 objects appeared hovering side by side over the top of this Corte Madera hill for a solid 5 minutes. These two objects were every color of the color spectrum all blended together. These 2 objects were oblong and very tall and looked like the shape of a flower vase or wood burning stove with a curved section on the bottom. Several groups of these bizarre looking objects were seen in groups of 4 to 5 and sometimes in groups of 7 to 8 in loose formations. I estimate I saw 30 to 40 of these strange fireball objects on this evening. I saw these strange objects swarming through this Ross Valley area at two different times tonight at 9 to 9:30 and earlier in the evening roughly 6:30 to 7 o'clock.

Fleming Island, FL
Triangular in shape, amber in color, slow moving (helicopter speed), no sound. Over a period of 10 minutes, I saw 16 of these moving from ~North to ~South. At one point there were eight in the sky above my house at once, the other eight trickled in after, one or two at a time.

Buffalo, NY
witnessed whitish "tic tac" shaped craft hovering above tree tops for approximately 5 minutes. made no noise at all. Then changed color to bluish glow, rotated and accelerated up and to the south at incredible speed. Literally disappeared in about 2 seconds. Several sonic booms were heard as it left. Neighbors' dogs were barking. Our pet cat was visibly upset.

Medford, NJ
Myself and two neighbors witnessed red/orange steady light in sky traveling southeast. Single ball of light, never blinked. Traveled similar speed as other aircraft that are usually seen in the sky, but flight path direction was unusual from normal aircraft/helicopter/airport or military base traffic in our area. I got the attention of one neighbor who watched light when I saw it and agreed it was unusual. Another neighbor later walked by and asked me ifI just witnessed the light that she observed as well...she said she attempted to photograph light but it did not show up in picture.

Extremely loud engine. But we could not see what it was. It was flying over us , made windows shake. Not a jet, helicopter, nor commercial plane. As it flew over us we still heard the engine roaring loudly away.

Alpharetta, GA
Hello, I did not know about there was a place to officially report these sightings or else I would have done this sooner. I was on my way to work in the morning, and it was winter, 2 days after Christmas. The trees were bare and the sky was clear with no clouds, so I was able to see fairly far. I saw in the air, some distance away, a boomerang shaped object and the ends were facing downwards, so it could even be described as an upside down ‘U’. It was completely white, but since it was in the open sky, I have no frame of reference for how large it was. I did my best to keep my eye on it, but since I was driving I could not take a picture. The object did not move and just hovered in the sky. After about 10-15 seconds, I had to take my eyes completely off of the object to go thru a roundabout circle on the road, but when I looked up again it was gone. I kept looking and as I proceeded down the road, I saw it again but it had moved a very large distance away within the 5-10 seconds that I had lost it. The ends of the U were still facing down and it was hovering again, without moving. I was able to keep my eyes on it for another 5 seconds or so and then lost it again. I was not able to find it after that.

Green Bay, WI
At approximately 715 am. 12/27/2017 a small oval flat shaped cloud appeared in the eastern sky over green bay. Other than this cloud the sky was completely clear. From near the center of the lone cloud was what appeared to be a jet stream shooting straight up for quite a ways. Then the mysterious jet stream made a solid ninety degree turn to the north east making the shape of a seven and abruptly ended. Approximately 1 minute later a small light appeared to the south west of mysterious cloud and jet stream. Within seconds an aircraft appearing to be a jet came into view. The jet changed course and appeared to travel in the same direction the mysterious jet stream pointed.

A friend and I on the meteorite night of dec. 2017 Saw what looked like a Royal Blue jelly Fish (Without the insides) Move Very Slow Over us. Opening and closing as it moved. It was transparent. This took place in Worcester, Mass. It was not a Meteorite. This was 11:10 pm. Has Anyone ever seen seen anything like this? We were so stunned we couldn't even think to take a picture. (Aaah)! He Swears it was his Mother As An Angel, as were just talking about her when it Happened. What is this Blue Star, Could it be some type of Gas? Not Owning a Computer makes it hard for me. Hope to Hear from you. Thank you! Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My wife and I were driving west on I-565. I glanced towards the northwest and saw a green light/orb studded then rapidly shoot toward the ground. It wasn’t at a high elevation either so I didn’t think it was a shooting star. There is a US government arsenal and a NASA branch here. However, this happened over a populated civilian area.

I was looking towards South San Jose mountain line where many flight paths travel into S.J.C. airport. I saw a red ball travel vertical, stop and rich back towards the ground and change color to blue. Then at a high rate of speed travel up and down in a wave pattern. No human made craft can perform the maneuver I witnessed.
