Hartford, CT
Driving on I-84 East, just entering Hartford, CT, witnessed through the windshield, a bright, white, almond- shaped object with a black line located vertically through the center falling in the distance too large and moving too slowly to be a shooting star.

San Jose, CA
While driving for a ride share company, two passengers and I witnessed what may have been a rock launch. I was in San Jose on Capitol Expressway at the intersection of Marten/Ocala facing South. My two passengers and I saw a white plume shaped as a triangular trajectory as if an upward bound craft was making its ascent. I turned East onto Marten Avenue and could no longer see the unidentified object.

Mahomet, IL
Stepped outside to have a smoke and stargaze on a cold and clear morning. As I'm looking at the brightest stars I see a bright white flash high in the sky not far from a bright star I was looking at. I thought maybe it was a meteor but I kept my eyes focused on the spot I saw the flash. A few seconds later a second flash in the exact same spot. Then another flash. Then a slightly longer flash, and then a few seconds later and it flashed again, in the same spot in the sky but slightly dimmer and I could tell it was further away. Then one last flash still dimmer and further away before it was, I guess, out of view? Bright white flashes, brief with no pattern or rhythm, maybe 5 or 6 total. Slightly brighter than any star, and the flashes were quick except for the longer flash which seemed to be a build up, dim out type of flash.

Edmonds, WA
Around 7:00PM yesterday my family and I were heading down to visit my aunt in Edmonds. We were almost to the intersection of 9th Ave. South and Walnut St., traveling down Walnut St. heading West. That's when I first noticed 5 reddish/orange glowing objects in the sky out over the Puget Sound. We immediately pulled to the side of the road just before the intersection. We sat and watched the objects for around 2 minutes. Upon pulling to the side of the road two of the objects sorta just blinked out, then one reappeared before vanishing, leaving just three objects which now formed a massive triangle shape. The triangle then just slowly rotated before each reddish/orange object vanished. Not sure what, or who that thing was, but it was not a plane, or group of planes, drones or Chinese lanterns. My girlfriend and I have seen sightings like this online and never thought we would ever witness something like it ourselves. Naturally we both opted to leave our phones at home and my mom's phone has a potato camera so we didn't get any photos or video. But I'm glad I could just be in the moment to experience it. Truly mind blowing.

Chandler, AZ
One solid red round Orb like light. One Solid white Orb like light. Red Object at a standstill, white object came into view, and looked like the white Light was going to crash into the red light in its trajectory. but white object veered off And came to a stop, past the red object. Then white object began moving again, and and zipped past the red light again, as If the two lights were playing a Game of "Chicken" This went on for approx. 4-5 mins, then White light speed off out of sight. Approx. 1 min later the red light took off until it was out of sight.. This was at Approx. 6:10, 6:15 PM At Chandler, Az. Cross streets, Cooper rd/Pecos rd. 85225. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found her to be quite sober-minded. PD

I walked back into the house, and then looked out the kitchen window a few minutes later. I noticed the object was back once again. It flew exactly the same way and pattern for about two minutes and then banished. By banish, I assume took off at a high speed or some function unknown. It's very hard to explain in nature how this object appeared and "banished". I thought about what I saw that evening, but came to no conclusions. I thought maybe it was someone playing with a remote control plane or UFO; some toy a child may have got for Christmas. It couldn't have been, because it was floating way too high in the evening sky to have been a toy. Not only that, but the wind was very rough, and I can't picture someone out playing with a remote control toy plane or UFO. Again, it floated way too high to be a toy. I thought maybe it was a drone, and I googled and YouTubed drones to observe how they fly. It was NO drone either! It was too big, and it didn't fly like a drone. The object I observed didn't "fly" anyway, it "floated". It was no airplane, helicopter or anything of this nature either. Only conclusion of what the object was, is a UFO or something the government may be testing. I'm a perfectly sane, sound person. I have NEVER seen anything fly or float in the way this object did. I have never seen anything like it. . .

Barnesville, MD
I was spending Christmas Eve at my dad’s farm house and around 1:00 am I heard a loud buzzing sound hovering over my house that lasted for hours. A few hours go by and I hear what sounds like an unusual conversation between two beings in a strange language. We spoke via telephone with the young girl who submitted the report, and she assures us that it is accurate, and a sincere statement of fact, although we are unconvinced. She corrected the date to Christmas mornin, December 25th. PD

Anchorage, AK
The UFO were dropping from stationary stars over anchorage. They were dropping straight down like they were leaving from it and the others were moving beneath the darkness horizontally. These were distinctively different than the orange circle fleets that popped up from the ground formed a serpentine geometrical danse and dispersed. Or the fake red helicopters that are sometimes utilized by them. For some reason, the witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Ellenton, FL
Around 7 pm 3 bright gold sphere shaped objects appeared to the north of Ellenton, FL.. They were moving steady, but very slowly. They were in a triangle formation and after about 5 mins immediately disappeared. I tried to use my cell phone to record the event...but my phone froze and would not work. Upon their disappearance, my phone immediately worked fine.

Douglas, GA
The sun was setting and I took a picture and I went back and looked at it and in the picture are 6 unexplained objects in it the way they are line up in the sky is so crazy it’s not stars or Andy reflections nor a plane! This photo will get you to thinking because you can’t explain what is.. I also took another pic of the same thing and you can see that the circle objects have moved I have no idea what it could’ve been.

Palm Desert, CA
I, and a front seat passenger were arriving at a relative's house. we both happened to see a teardrop shaped lighted craft traveling from the south to the north right above Highway 111. The other three passengers did not see, since it appeared to travel at a high rate of speed and was gone within 5 seconds.

Discovery Bay, CA
Two objects just happened to catch my eye while in my kitchen overlooking my back yard. It was a white light(the hue of incandescent lamps) and some sort of red light. Just as I opened the door to check them out, one headed toward Stockton, CA. and just disappeared. The other kept moving a bit and that too disappeared. There was absolutely no sound like that of an aircraft. I did not have enough tiem to snap a pic with my phone. At the time, it was partially cloudy but I have not seen anything even after I rushed out to look.

Encinitas, CA
Seen over Encinitas boulevard two blocks up the road from Moonlight State Beach. First seen in the southeast corner of the sky, below Orion, but right of Sirius. It moved northwest and after approximately 10 seconds faded from view. It consisted of three white lights that appeared in a rigid formation like on the wingtips and nose of a chevron-shaped craft. No body was visible between the lights, even as they passed in front of a moonlit cloud. The motion of the lights seemed to suggest that the craft was relatively close to the ground, within drone flight range. If it was as close as it appeared to be, the wingspan would be well over 20 feet. It was also completely silent and was definitely close enough to have been heard if it was a drone or an airplane. It moved at a constant speed, fairly quickly, but slower than an airplane would be at that distance. This also happened just over 24 hours after SpaceX launched a test rocket over San Diego, which many reported as a UFO.
