Fort Myers, FL
While walking the dogs, we noticed this very bright star like light in the southwest sky. It was bright with alternate colors of red, blue and yellow that seemed to flash around it. I first wrote it off as an airliner, but it wasn't moving. Stayed stationary in the sky for the hour we watched it. Doesn't look like a star at all. We suspect the witnesses may have been looking at a "twinkling" star. PD

Within minutes of the spotting the object, an emense fog covered our fields and roadways. Just thought it was all kinda odd!! We suspect the witnesses may have been looking at a "twinkling" star. PD

I was riding horses with my partner and as the sun was about 30 minutes from setting the horses stop, and stare to the east. My partner noticed the object first and pointed it out to me. All the other animals on the property were also watching (8 horses 3 dogs and 2 goats). I gave my horse a gesture to move but she wasn't going to, and I wasn't really worried about the horse. As soon as I see it there is no doubt in my mind it's a UFO. It was about 5 miles away, and didn't fly quite as high as planes in the area normally do. It was black in color, had a sphere on top with a diameter of about 20 feet, and a spike pointing downward extending about 40-50 feet with 3 rings that seemed to be floating around the spike. I reached for my phone to take a picture while my partner was calling a friend in the area to see if he could see it. After I opened my camera app on my phone and look bake at the object; it was gone. Since the incident I've been searching the internet unsuccessfully for the same object. So this is my last attempt to find out if anyone else has ever seen this. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

St. Albans, VT
5pm 12/2/17 Rte. 2 North Hero/Alburg, VT. Driving to dinner. Crossing bridge to Alburg, saw 5 orange colored lights over the tree line in a backwards “L” shape. Directly over tree line in line of sight crossing the bridge. Not normal lights for that area, know it wasn’t a plane going to the local airport. 6:30 12/2/17 Rte. 7 St Albans, VT. Driving home from dinner, we saw same, or similar, 5 orange lights over fields. We watched these 5 lights for a few miles heading north towards Swanton. We turned onto Comstock Road and stopped by the railroad tracks. We got out of the car and watched these 5 lights change from an “L” shape to a back semi-circle to a line. We watched as the 5 passed over us. One seemed to fall, but not by gravity, but a calculated descent. The “4th in line, stopped, then “caught up” to the other 3. We watched the first three lights fly over us and climb and eventually disappear. The 4th followed the same route. There was no noise, as an airplane would emit. There were no blinking lights, the normal red/green. As we turned onto County Road and saw a light like the ones in the sky, in the field in front of the tree line, we watched it “bounce” along the field.

I went on my back porch and looked at the horizon and saw a black disk object flying in a straight line from left to right and then disappear. After it dissapeared, I saw a burst of light in the daylight sky as if the craft went into hyperspace. There had also been birds flying in the sky when I saw the craft.

Manchester, TN
We observed an odd set of pure white blinking (simultaneous) lights of an unknown craft that would SPEED up & slow down erratically then stop at which time a large fireball fell slowly from it. We noticed the craft circle around and head back the way it came SW as we watched the fireball until it was below tree line out of view. THE craft (lights) continued to circle the area for another few minutes rising & falling in altitude impossible for any aircraft I've seen then sped off NW. The lights would also alternate from horizontal to vertical at times.

Honeoye Falls, NY
Driving home, I very clearly saw a huge, BRIGHT green circle fly through the sky at a high rate and promptly disappear in the distance. It lit up the sky in its vicinity with a very bright green color, very distinguishable from comets or shooting stars. the circle was about half the size of a full moon. I saw it very clearly for about 3 seconds.

Parkville, MD
I was driving home when from the corner of my eye I see a blue bright light moving fast accross the sky. At first I thought it was fireworks or something, but there was absolutely no noise at all. It just ended up disappearing. It scared me because when I saw it I thought it was coming towards me, but then I didn’t hear it crash or see were it went.

Shickshinny, PA
It was foggy misty and overcast. It was a little after 3 a.m. time is not exact either way. The Southeastern sky flashed with this odd blueish color for a few seconds. I thought perhaps there was a distant storm as there was a cold front moving through and it was colder. I kept watching for it to happen again, but it did not. It was very overcast, but the moon was still casting a lot of light.

Golden, CO
We drove from Boulder to Lookout Mountain. We arrived at our spot at 39°43'51.9"N 105°14'28.4"W. (Facing West) We sat there listening to music for a couple hours, when all of the sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw a white/blue light hovering between two trees (it was not the reflection of car headlights, because those reflections always followed the same horizontal pattern, when I looked at the light it was just hovering there.) I looked to see what this light was that caught my eye, as did the person sitting next to me. Together we saw an orb. It looked to be about 100 feet from the vehicle. As soon as we looked at it, it zipped straight down behind the hill. We didn't see it again.

Jackson, MI
I was driving south along Hague Avenue past Jackson Community College at night, when I saw a streak come straight down in a falling motion that resembled a shooting star, though the color was a spectacular sapphire blue. At the end of the streak, closest to the ground, there was a large teardrop shaped light which disappeared when it reached the treeline. The whole even lasted only a few seconds. I was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the event. As for my background, I was raised in a nearby area and am currently employed as a social worker. I have a graduate degree from CMU. I commute this route down Hague Avenue on the way home each night.

Hovered and flew above driving traffic on highway 60 oval/round in shape flew over tree lines then out of sight. The blinking lights were electric blue in color and were so bright they glowed into my vehicle making everything with a blue tint to it. They were on what looked like the bottom of the craft.

Walked out of work, saw about eight lights in the sky in a formation pattern. Got out my camera recorded for about 2 minutes and they slowly faded into the night sky one by one.

My wife and I were looking at the large full moon as we stepped outside our home around twilight. To the left of the moon, I saw a stationary red light in the sky. It reminded me of the red lights one may see on top of a tall antenna. I thought it may be a plane, but it did not move for an extended period. That's when I brought it to the attention of my wife. Shortly thereafter, the light dropped down in a rapid vertical descent. It remained visible. It paused a little and then rose vertically. The light also moved horizontally once or twice. Overall, it would move, remain still, and then move again. Lost sight of it after about five minutes as I tried unsucessfully to find the source of the light by driving toward the light. Since this occurred in a city, I was never able to find the light.

Foyil, OK
At dusk, my wife and I noticed a star that looked to be bright blue, with a white center very close to the earth, I then noticed that it had a bright white star moving in tandom with it, at that same time we then noticed 2 more of these craft and started hearing engine sounds these smaller craft were flying underneath a very large triangle or diamond shaped craft that was just by a quick glance disguised as a constellation these craft could be heard coming in with the smaller craft making jet noises, but the big one was almost silent and when it flew over there was a very strong downdraft of wind at least 40/50 mph. These craft circled our home all night and continue to this day, at dawn one will break off, lower itself to the ground, and start spinning at a 45° angle expanding and contracting, with lights turning white then light blue and a noise like standing next to a transformer will start, with vibrations growing stronger and a intense magnetic field will become noticeable. When the sun gets to where it's fully up, these ships will be drawn into the center and disdappear in a brilliant flash of light.

Wilmington, NC
In late November / early December of 2017, I was living at a student living apartment complex at the intersection of Randall Parkway and S College Rd, Wilmington, NC 28403. I am 23 years old now, and was about 20 years old at the time. My one other witness to this event is my roommate (K) at the time, who was about 25. I remember this day pretty vividly as it sent me into a bit of an obsession for months after this happened. I first assumed that what we saw was military since we are coastal. I will relay what happened as best as I can. I had never considered until recently what we saw that evening could’ve been ET. About 4:30 / 5 PM - K and I are going to a gas station up the street. We turn right from Pepys Ln, left onto S College, and go to the BP on the right side of the road. This is just barely off of UNCW campus. K goes into buy beer since I am underage, and we set back for the short .3 mi journey home. We were sober when we left for the gas station, and had been all day. Neither of us have hallucinogenic or delusional mental disorders, and have never seen anything like this. I am driving, and turn left back onto S College, and K and I almost immediately see a rather large aircraft. It was hard to tell at first glance how close it was and the size, but it didn’t take long to realize that it was flying at about the same height as the stoplight we were approaching. It was so low. I then noticed that it was dark grey/black, the size of a typical sedan, and was spherical with short wings extending from the sides. The shape was honestly hard to decipher because I had never seen any type of craft designed this way, and definitely not this close to the ground. I remember hearing a low whirring. I think that it may have had two propeller sort of mechanisms underneath the wings. I couldn’t tell if it was big enough to be manned or unmanned. K and I were both yelling at each other to make sure we were seeing the same thing. Without having to say much at all, we were both in awe of what we were seeing, and also terrified. I needed to get in the right turn lane at the light (S College/Randall) to get us back home. Along that turn lane, vehicles could turn earlier into a Rooms To Go parking lot that was across from where K and I lived. I wanted to try snd keep looking at what we were seeing, so I quickly turned into the RTG lot. It seemed like the craft noticed me, and it made a ~45 degree turn with minimal effort, and immediately went in the direction of Randall Pkwy over the RTG building. I saw when it turned that it almost went belly up, and I couldn’t tell how it gained momentum so quickly. It moved away from my vehicle at what I would guess 45/50 MPH, after hovering right above S College Rd barely moving for a solid 20-40 seconds. I was so in shock of what we had seen, as was K, that we agreed to immediately call the non emergency police number to try and make any real sense of it. We were still at this point convinced we had seen some kind of military UAV/drone/etc, but I have done extensive research and have not seen anything remotely similar to what we saw that day. The police officer I spoke with asked me if I was being held against my will by somebody and if I had taken any drugs (lol). I knew it sounded ridiculous, but we are both clear on what we saw that day, and have not found any answers that point us in the direction of what it could have been.
