Mardela Springs, MD
I stepped outside for a cigarette, when something caught my eye. I saw what looked like an oval shaped rotating set of lights go overtop of my house. I watched it move in erratic very fast patterns. It stayed in one area of the sky moving up, down, and side to side but remaining in the same general area for about 15 minutes. Several planes flew directly over the object and with each one the object would fly up towards the plane and back down as the plane passed by. It then flew off in the distance for a minute or two then came back to the same area before it flew down behind the trees, where I lost sight of it. It made no sound and appeared to be rotating quickly with multi-colored lights around the exterior. I got a weird feeling when at the same time all of the dogs in the neighborhood started howling. I have been researching Ufos for years and am always watching the skies. This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

Boise, ID
My friend and I were just driving back from Stanley, coming up on Boise just outside of Horseshoe Bend. All of a sudden, we see this green orb shoot straight down from the sky and disappear directly above the Eagle/Boise area. There was no tail so we don't think it was a meteor.. I'm hoping someone else saw it also! We also discussed it being a plane perhaps, but the light was wag bigger than anything a plane would have.

While unloading my trunk of shopping bags, I noticed 4 blinking lights in the horizon towards the Elmwood Zoo area. The lights were all red in a curved line blinking in no specific order. Looks like the lights could have been the side of a saucer shape, but I did not see a craft. I watched for a few minutes then went inside and told my husband. A few minutes later he came outside and looked acknowledged what I saw and wanted to go back in. I often sky gaze looking for the most mysterious things but he could not deny this one. They were not that high either, maybe as high as a helicopter or a drone plane which I had seen twice in the last month locally here. I have never seen drone planes here before. It could have been a tall structure that I don't know about, but I doubt it. I have lived here for 3 years, and have never seen the lights before. Also it was a very clear night sky with a big bright moon, very cool. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Knoxville, TN
Was driving home with my girlfriend and I spotted what I thought was a large flag on a strangely tall pole from interstate 40. It was irregularly shaped, and had an orange hue from the city lights maybe. We looked at it for about 15 seconds and decided it was just a cloud. That was until it began to get smaller and smaller over the course of 10-15 seconds before disappearing completely.

Lincoln Boro, PA
At approximately 20:00, two women were standing outside talking, when they notice strange orange lights glowing in the sky. The lights were in a circular formation with approximately 3 following. No sounds were heard during his time. Sky was partly cloudy but relatively clear and calm. The light began to move toward the northwest, disappearing one by one and then vanished. A helicopter with bright red lights shortly followed at a high rate of speed. The helicopter was also traveling at low altitude.

Coral Gables, FL
I was standing on the University Metrorail stop, waiting for my train home. Upon staring in the distance I noticed three orbs of orange light hovering above the suburbian houses. They were defeinitly too high up to be drones and too stationary to be airplanes. I noticed one of them moving at a slow rate, it had white lights on the sides that seemed to be flashing. After seeing numerous videos of these orbs, I can confirm that they were the same as the ones on YouTube and other video sharing platforms. I am not sure but in the distance I could see small sparks flying off of one of them.

Clemson, SC
I was driving down Hwy 123, coming into Clemson. I was looking at the sky admiring the night clouds when I saw a bright orange light come from nowhere and start flying across the sky. It was going extremely fast, and it flew parallel to the horizon. After about 5 seconds, it sped up even more and disappeared into the open sky, almost comparable warp drive from star trek.

Hokes Bluff, AL
I saw what appeared to be a cloud, shaped like a boat wake, that disappeared soon after it appeared. I could not see what made it because the “cloud” was so thick and billowy. It was headed due West and I watched it for about 5–10 minutes until it went behind the tree line. I saw the same “cloud” the next week in a video on Youtube. It was filmed in Romania. It as a black saucer shaped object. That was not what really caught my eye the most. It was being followed by groups of three “Foo Fighters”, or “orbs” as they are called these days. They would blink on and off and I never saw more than three at one time. There were approximately nine of then, because off to the Southwest there was another group of three “orbs” running a parallel course to the main group.

San Diego, CA
I was outside this morning and noticed a bright object in the sky. The sky was clear and there were no other objects in the blue sky except a large view of the moon off to the west. I was looking almost overhead when I saw the object and what appeared to be a bright light coming from it. I thought it might be a reflection from the sun. I got my binoculars but the image was still not very clear, but I could see the basic shape and that it had 5 lights - not reflections. I set up my camera and tripod to catch the object as it was slowly moving away, now at about a 45 degree angle. I got 5 quick photos before the object was too far away to focus. It drifted off to the southwest. No sounds or movement/change in the lights on the object.

San Francisco, CA
Spherical shaped craft, seemed to have hexagons all over the inside that seemed to light up red. There was a feeling of intense gravity, as if I were way heavier than normal, and like something was pushing down on me. It came down and surrounded my whole location and stayed there for 6 hours or so. When these navigate around they are blue grey and black in color and seem to be plasma and variable size. This was near the Eagle's Point Labyrinth along the pacific trail. Associated with these are smaller triangular craft with three red lights on the bottom that trail two fibers behind them. This was early Monday morning. We attempted to contact the source of the report, but the telephone number is non-functional. We strongly suspect a hoax, in light of the content of the report. PD
November 5, 2017 · 10:30 PM · CHANGING
Lantana Beach, FL
Shortly after she points in front of us (East), over an anchored ship another light that was red, blue and white changing colors and shapes. This one was different not only because of the changing colors and shapes but this one had a very erratic movement. It wasn't stationary not moving in a certain direction. It would do small erratic movements in almost every direction with occasional drops in altitude. No conventional aircraft to my knowledge could have performed these movements that, being that high in the air, would equal to 50-100 foot instantaneous movements. At one point we witnessed a light, almost like a strobe or lighting very near where we were sitting and my friend said she felt a presence and it was eerie so we decided to head back to our car. As we walked we kept tracking the object that seemed to move North with us as we walked since it wasn't hovering over the ship anymore (that was our marker). We stopped one last time to observe it and to confirm with each other that we were seeing the same thing and, sure enough, it was directly East of us at this point a half mile walk from our original position. It continued to do the same erratic movements and even reacting to passing aircraft. We left and were not able to see the object again.

Albany, OR
A bright low flying flashing light coming from the south west direction headed east moving slow and below the cloud bank. I watched it travel slowly heading east thinking it was an airplane or helicopter, however there was no sound and it stopped hovering in place for about 6 minutes. It finally disappeared into cloud bank.
November 5, 2017 · 8:00 PM · LIGHT
Cuba, MO
This is the 4th time I have seen a light appear in this exact same area. A bright light suddenly appears, stays there for a few min then vanishes from sight. It has appeared at the same time, in the same spot 4 different times. The light stays in the sky for a few min and then vanishes. The object was a light yellow color and almost had a glow about it. It was at least 10 times bigger than a star in the sky.

Moreno Valley, CA
I was in my backyard when I seen a circular red sold orb looking object no port or starboard lights no white light slowing approaching from south to north going toward San Bernardino. Then red solid orb then stopped and hovered about 1500 ft guessing above some houses for about 5 min, another known aircraft with port and starboard lights flying below but on the path of it went in front of it and the red orb lights flashed off and then on as if to indicate it wanted to be seen then after about 1 min it proceeded south bound toward Perris, CA, and then landed where it appeared to be around Lake Perris, CA, mountain area.

Gilbert, AZ
I saw about 10 lights flighing close together across the sky. I was facing East and they were traveling North. About three of the lights were flying pretty close together almost like a diagonal line and the others were flying together as well, but it almost looked like they were forming a triangular shape. I took videos and a picture. I live not too far from an airport and I also saw and heard air planes flying around that time but these didn’t look or sound like planes. In the video I took you can see the lights flying across and a plane passing so you can tell the difference. It appears no one else has reported the sighting. I have emailed my video to ABC news and posted it on their Facebook, but didn’t seem like a big deal.

Snowflake (toward; near), AZ
When I ran to get binoculars, the friend that was with me, saw 3 of them. Looking through the binoculars, I could see they were continuing to change formation. Before running to get a camera, the last I saw of the front one was that it took off in high gear at a very steep angle upward (nearly straight up). By the time I came back with a camera, they were gone. What was REALLY eerie is that this exact date was the 42nd anniversary of Travis Walton being abducted by a UFO near Snowflake. Creepy for sure! I am not even a person that believed in alien UFO's, but what other explanation is there?

Cincinnati, OH
A very bright and large yellow-orange sphere appeared suddenly along the south side of a strong storm system around early sunset on the first day of daylight savings time. ,The sighting occurred over the Ohio River, near Columbia-Tusculum. It moved from the Southwest to the northeast at a very quick speed, and after sustaining light for about 10 seconds, its light output dropped to nearly a pinhole for 3 seconds, before disappearing completely. One observer is a retail associate and jewelry designer, age 20, and the other is a classical musician and hospitality professional with two degrees, age 30.

Glendale, AZ
Witnessed seven large circular lights moving eastward very slowly over the sky at Utopia & 68th Ave in Glendale, AZ, approximately 9:20 PM (AZ time zone) on the night of Saturday, November 4th, 2017. We the lights them for approximately a 45-second duration before they disappeared. Could easily tell they were not airplanes- there was no noise and they did not look like airplanes that flew by in same spot after they disappeared. We live under a flight path, so definitely would know if lights were from airplanes. These were not airplanes! They seemed to make somewhat of a V formation. We took two photos and one short video that caught they tail end of the sighting. Only 3 to 4 lights appear in the photos but visible to our eyes there were approximately seven. The light pattern moved slowly, silently, and lights were all in unison with each other as if belonging to one large flying or several that were somehow traveling in a geometric formation at the same speed and altitude. The formation appeared similar to a V, but was not a perfect V showing all the points.
