November 14, 2017 · 7:35 AM · OVAL
Manville, NJ
One large oval was floating for 15 mins then flew very fast across the sky. The left side had three red lights, the right had four white ones. Behind were other white lights 5-7 in equal distances across the sky. There were also eight air planes that were very evident. I saw a similar thing? Last year in Hillsborough, NJ, one town away. Mind you, my mother had text me, and asked about strange lights, she had been down the same road 15 minutes before us, she says she thought that the object was following her. The object was visible for almost the rest of our ride, but it didn’t seem to move until it was directly over the mini airport. It flew very very fast.

Tuscaloosa, AL
The ufo has been hovering over a field across the street from my house every evening for 3 nights straight. it is chevron shaped, pulsating from green, red, white, and blue. Normally I would assume it is a star, however this object is changing location by roughly 3-400 yards every night. Please contact me.

Burton, TX
I was outside star-gazing and I heard what sounded like the central air unit had kicked on (I have no central air in my house) and I looked outside and saw multiple faint, glowing lights and the lights came together and became one single searchlight and the light started to move in a circular pattern as if searching for something. Afterwards, the light and the sound disappeared. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Pflugerville, TX
I walked out of my apartment complex and a strange light caught my eye in the sky.. I stood there for a good 5-10 min looking at it. There was 4-5 individual white sphere shapes on each side that looked like a chevron/V-shape. Each sphere had a slight individual movement to it. I work in aviation and I never seen anything like this before. There were no red or green navigation lights or strobes of any kind,, which any aircraft or drone would have.

Roswell, NM
Four lights and at times up to eight round lights blinking in sequence across the dark Nothern sky, 30 miles west of Roswell. The lights would glow really brite then blink back and forth then dim and go black. At one point one bright long light lit up with approximately 12 smaller lights around it in a perfect circle, expanding a very big portion on the sky.

Johnstown/Loveland, CO
Have seen 29 craft hovering over Loveland and Johnstown. They tend to like the area East of i25, south of 34, although have seen others in more areas in Loveland. (I saw 18 last night, I haven't seen more than ~5 UFOs in my entire life, for context) They are hovering around 100-200 ft up. 90% of them are a soft orange-white light. Some are a bright white light. All are entirely noticeably brighter than all other lights in city or sky. They suspend/hover for around 5 minutes or less, and then proceed with dimming the light and turning blinking lights on (red and white, no green) to mimic a plane. They proceed in a slow manor and sometimes re-suspend with the bright light. Videoed one that has no sound about 40 ft up. I will see as many is 8 suspended near each other, and they will take turns moving to another location, always while blinking, and then to re-suspend, always with a bright constant light. With so many present, I have seen a few up close and either are spherical or have no apparent visible craft. After turning off the bright light randomly while they are overhead, they turn on the blinking lights and noticeably re-align lights and start moving away slowly. Some are following me on the frontage road.

Hilo, HI
We been on a bus ride from Hilo to Pahoa and took a video on this tour. We could film an object flying high above in the sky. It had 6 bright lights and was way to big to be a drone. Maybe a real UFO? We dont know. Photo shows a circle of six small lights. We wonder whether the object might have been the reflection of a LED-style light, with six bulbs. PD

Salt Lake City, UT
Observed a red orb descend from 3 white lights that maneuvered into a triangle in the western sky of downtown Salt Lake. The orb made a vertical descent, with an instantaneous stop and 90 change of direction to the north. Another instant stop and course reversal to the south. It stopped and started "dancing". It then descended vertically into the ground. For one full week, I was certain this encounter was extraterrestrial. However, exactly one week later, on the 19th of December at dusk, I identified with a $1000 pair of binoculars a recreational drone doing similar maneuvers 1-2 blocks west of my condo. My condo is on the 5th floor and has over 20 feet of 8 foot floor to ceiling windows facing the west. I am only submitting this report to augment a similar report filed about an incident in Salt Lake on Dec 17. If the address of that report is anywhere near my location in Salt Lake there is a high probability that someone is flying a drone illegally in the 1100 E. 100 S. area of Salt Lake City. I believe they may be intentionally trying to simulate unidentified aerial phenomena.
November 12, 2017 · 7:03 PM · FIREBALL
Panama City, FL
Tonight, traveling North to South was a slow moving fireball moving in a slow straight line. I happened to look up while standing outside with friends and family to see what appeared to be a fireball directly above us. It was a cloudy night and the apparent fireball was very visible below the cloud deck. There was no sound heard at all during this event. I was able to capture a cell phone video approximately 30 seconds long before it flickered slightly and then completely faded out. It did not travel out of viewing distance, it simply stopped and vanished. What we witnessed tonight was completely unexplainable and unlike anything any of us had ever seen before.

Broomfield, CO
Five lights to the south at about 8 thousand feet abode sea level were hovering and arranging themselves to make perfectly symmetrical geometric shapes. The lights went away after a minute of me witnessing this.

Estes Park, CO
My husband and I were seated in our living room, in the dark, shortly before 6 PM. Our chairs face generally north, overlooking what is called “Lumpy Ridge” in Estes Park, CO. He asked me if I saw the red light over the ridge, which brought my attention to it. He watched it move quickly west, then east, and it came to a stop as I spotted it. It hovered for several seconds, then sped off to the east and disappeared from our windows’ view. My spouse commented that it was too high and moved too fast to be a plane, a drone, a helicopter. In addition, he said he saw no light except the red (the entire object was red). His understanding is that FAA approved aircraft had to have different colored lights on port, starboard, and at the rear. If this one had those, we would have seen lights with colors other than red as it turned directions. Instead, we only saw the one color, which would indicate that it was flying back and forward without turning, and he could not imagine a craft that could do that. Looked too high and fast to be a drone purchased off Amazon. Not sure what we saw, and if my husband’s impressions about required lighting on approved crafts is accurate. First time we’ve seen something like this.

Chino Valley, AZ
I was traveling south on route 89 towards Chino Valley, Arizona. It was approximately 10a.m. on November 12, 2017. There were some clouds. I saw a very large bluish white vertically oriented rectangle in the sky. It was a very defined rectangle. It was stationary, to the south of my vehicle and stayed stationary there for about 5 minutes. It was about 45% above the horizon and then it just was not there anymore. I am a science teacher and have done biological research.

Albuquerque, NM
I again sighted this light from my same location on Louisiana Blvd NE midway between Lomas and Constitution on the west side of the street that I had first reported on 10/24/17. It is the same light I sighted and reported to both NUFORC and MUFON on 10/24/17. It was again changing colors (red, blue, green, & white) while hovering stationary SSE of my location, not making any sound, and at an altitude about the same as that of a commercial airliner. I go out to my car almost every night around 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM to remove my radar detector from my car so it doesn't get stolen, and I have looked every time I go out there since my previous report on 10/24/17 to see if this light was there. Up until this sighting, I have not seen it since 10/24, and there have been no clouds to obscure it if it had been there between 10/24 and 11/12. After my report to MUFON about the 10/24 sighting, I received an email from their investigator informing me there were no visible stars, planets, or other celestial bodies in the sky SE of Albuquerque where the object I saw was located; the person informed me there is a visible star NE of my location, but not SE. This light looks to be too low to be a celestial body yet too high to be a helicopter or some other such aircraft, and since it is hovering in the same place for an extended period of time, it cannot be a fixed wing aircraft. I observed this light for 20 to 30 minutes before going back inside. I first saw the object at 1:00 AM and went back inside sometime after 1:20 AM. I took several minutes of video of the light. https://youtu.be/kWj03TRNYTc In a follow-up telephone conversation with the witness, he confirmed that the object he witnessed was Sirius. PD

Craft was moving very fast and stopped abruptly. Hovered in the sky as it made a chilling sound. Then took off with amazing speed with no acceleration. As it flew away, it disappeared. The lights did not fade in the distance.

Tremont, ME
We 1st thought it was a jet approaching from over the ocean. After several minutes it hadnt changed location appreciably and we paid closer attention to it. It was far enough away not to be able to count, but it had several very bright, iridescent lights: cobalt blue, red and white. Looking thru binoculars, it was an oblong angular shape, most like a chevron. It definitely moved a bit in the sky, making us think it might be a weather balloon, but it didnt have any apparent mass, and it had moved up in the sky line, but also side to side. The object was visible for at least 1.5 hrs. It was gone when we checked again before going to bed around midnight We were a group of rational, smart (including an engineer, a future engineer, ex-air force officer) with no good explanation for what we were seeing. It was definitely not a celestial object. We suspect a sighting of the star called, "Sirius." PD

I was outside looking at the stars giving God praise for his creation and right above the tree line off of frost rd, I see a white light/fireball similar to a shooting star, appear suddenly, then shoot downward disappearing behind the tree line. Immediately, I started hearing a lot of animals becoming restless, perhaps my senses were heightened. Also, not seconds afterwards a helicopter began closing the distance from the opposite direction.

North Bend, WA
This was seen very clearly and was coming from the north, heading in a southwestern direction. What I saw was a very bright light moving, like if it was landing lights on an airliner, it was moving slow but bright, as I started to really look at it, it then started to move faster and started to change from 1 to 2 then 3 and finally 4 bright orbs or light's. These light's then changed direction from the first and what I would describe as the first or main light, they moved in a downward and away to the right (my right, the left of the main orb) but then they started to move in an upward direction. Unfortunately from my angle they flew behind a peak of a mountain range that is just north of my location. I never saw them come out the other side.

Glendale/Pasadena, CA
I was driving around 8 pm or so east on the 134 freeway toward Pasadena, CA, on Saturday 11/11/17. Around Glendale area before heading into Eagle Rock or so, I noticed on the left hand side up above the horizon above hills an object in the air that struck me as strange. At first it was going in and out behind things. The lights were strange, and movement strange. Nothing like that has ever caught my attention before. I watched it intently as best I could while driving on the freeway. It then began following along the freeway the entire way I was going in a basically straight line, perhaps 10 miles? At times I thought maybe it could be a blimp. But it moved very unusually, not at all like a blimp moves -- gliding easily at high speed. It kept pace in a straight firm line gliding along the freeway way too fast for a blimp, and somewhat farther down (lower) than you would expect on the horizon, for several miles. It seemed almost like it was partially sh! rouded or camaflouged, like it was intentionally trying to be non-descript in its appearance/color, deflecting light. For some reason I had an instinct or sense like the object usually has camaflouge not expecting to be seen, but that wasn't fully working at that moment for some reason. It struck me that if I was a UFO, I would not want to be seen and would want to be camaflouged rather than flashy and conspicuous, so the non-descript quality seemed reasonable to me. I wanted to take a picture or video, but I could not safely do so while driving on the freeway. I kept watching it as a drove the whole way. I then exited LAKE avenue off the 134/210 freeway into Pasadena, turning left and heading north. The object appeared to change directions almost like it was following me. It too turned left and started heading north parallel to the direction of my car, just as it had been heading in a straight line along the freeway east before I exited and turned. I know this sounds od! d and strange, but it almost felt like it could somehow sense ! that it knew I saw it and was intent and curious about that. It caught my attention because it definitely did not seem normal or quite like anything I had seen before, and I could not explain what it was. It did not move like any aircraft I know about. Too smooth and fast, not a typical flight path, speed or positioning vis-a-vis the horizon. It seemed almost casual, like it was observing and didn't think it could be seen, and then somehow noticed I noticed it (though I don't know how that could be the case). I'm thinking possible Jacques Vallée resonant, a subjective, different order component to it. I then pulled over on the road on Lake Blvd. in Pasadena so I could try to photograph it, and took the pictures attached here with my phone. The first pic is a ZOOM IN on the second pic so you can see it better/closer up. You can see where it is in the sky in the second because the perspective is stepped/angled back. In the first zoomed in pic, the object looks like a shaded circle/orb shape titled partly 3/4 back with 3 round glowing lights on the bottom. It continued to "follow" along side on the horizon up Lake Blvd. parallel to my car for a couple of miles. I then turned off right to a side street going toward a residence and lost sight of it. It held my attention as something strange I observed for around 15 minutes in total, a pretty long duration. This is the first time I have ever felt like I might have seen a UFO. It did feel instinctively like it was something unusual, and was something I could not explain or recognize. I would like to know if there were other sightings reported at this same time and area. This is reported anonymously, to add discovery and investigation. You can feel free to freely contact me with questions, information, or follow up, however.
