Lafayette, IN
I went home to get Wife and Son to see it, but it was gone. In fact I asked my Son if there was an event he forgot to tell me about as he follows weather closely. I am sure someone seen besides me, as roads were fairly busy at the time. I have seen comets before, or One burn in the sky, but this was stationary and Large.

Fight with my gf when I just stepped outside walked across the road I had looked up to have seen a white spotlight bright be focusing down but not toward me as it had passed me already then this went on for few seconds until it shut off and it is as if you could still see it but it was like a star moving in the sky?

Athens, GA
I was sitting outside because I remembered there was supposed to be a meteor shower and I saw a star that looked like it was twinkling, so I looked more closely and it looked like there were blue spindles with red lights attached to the end spinning extremely fast. I thought it might have been an airplane but it was way too big and it wasn't moving from where it was. I went inside to turn off my porch light and came back to see it more clearly. It didn't move, just spun extremely fast in the same place. I looked really closely at other stars to make sure I wasn't just seeing something, and I wasn't. I think it was a circular shape but it was angled strangely, so I saw more of an oval/elliptical shape.

Tontitown, AR
I was driving home, saw a light in the sky, at first I thought it was an airliner, but it was to bright for that, as I started watching it, it changed from an orb shape to a barbell shape and back to an orb, it did this for a few minutes and stayed a barbell shape and just vanished, I called a buddy of mine and he looked west, as we were talking he heard a loud jet heading from east to west.

Looking out my 5th floor apartment window in Astoria, Queens, which overlooks the East River and Manhattan's Skyline of the Empire State Building. All of the sudden, I see 2 triangles made up of lights floating by in the sky. There 1 second gone the next. One triangle was made of red lights and the other craft made of blue. My window was open ax

Orange Park, FL
We were standing on our patio between 21:15-21:30 last night. We saw a blue-green moving across the sky from east southeast to west southwest. The sky was clear. There were 2 airplanes visible in the sky at the time, which is normal, since we live close to NAS-JAX. The object looked very similar to a bright star, but slightly larger and brighter. It did not blink and did not appear to twinkle at all. It was larger and brighter than any stars visible at the time. I would estimate that from our point of view, it appeared similar in size and brightness to the north star. We did not hear any sound. It moved very quickly but did appear to slow down for a few seconds one time before resuming its previous speed. The object stayed on the same path making no turns for the full time it was in view. We were able to see the object very clearly from the time it appeared on the horizon to our east all the way through its path to the western horizon, until it became too faint in the distance. We have a lot of military and civilian aircraft traffic in our area and are very aware of how they behave in the sky. Any aircraft that was close enough for its lights to appear this size and brightness would have been very easy to hear. The speed of the object could not be matched by any of the fighter jets that we commonly see. Any aircraft capable of this speed would not have been silent if it were flying low enough, and close enough, to appear this size in she night sky. There were no additional lights as would be expected on a plane or helicopter either. An object with this speed and brightness flying high enough to be inaudible would have to be absolutely massive. I thought it may have been the International Space Station but that was supposedly only visible during a 2 minute window over 2 hrs. before this sighting and would have been moving in the opposite direction according to the NASA website.

The object was small enough to be a butterfly- (definitely NOT an insect.) It was "bowtie" shaped and the color BLACK. fast moving and seemingly attracted to the electronics in the household of which it was flying in. SIDE NOTE; Air traffic Seemed to be busier then usual. Strange and disturbing indeed…

Queensbury, NY
While eating dinner with guests about 7:00 pm on October 20, 2017, I happened to look out our sliding glass door which faces west and noticed two stationary side by side very bright flashing white lights just above the tree line slightly northwest of the house. They were quite close together and were brighter than the planet Venus would be. The object(s) were stationary and did not wobble like a drone would. I called the 3 other people in attendance and they all saw it. The sun had set and it was dark out. I went for some binoculars but by the time I returned, the lights had moved northish and out of view. No noise was heard. From our house, the object(s) appeared to be over the western part of Aviation Road in Queensbury, NY. A week later (10-27-2017), I was sharing this event with a friend and coincidently both he and his wife may have seen the same object while they were driving in their car about 7:15 pm. He reported it also as 2 stationary side by side very bright white lights but they were not flashing. Shortly thereafter, one light disappeared. They also said it was low in the sky. He’s not 100% sure what day it was but feels like it was the same Friday evening as was the one we saw. Also, no noise was heard. His sighting was about 5 miles northeast of our sighting and located in the Sunnyside Road area of Queensbury, NY. All parties involved are familiar with aircraft lighting and this object was definitely not lit up in a normal pattern.

Lanett, AL
My wife and I were fishing in our back lake around 6:30 p.m. e.s.t., when we noticed a very bright shining object in the sky. No movement noticed for about thirty minutes. Back at our house we could still see the object. Went inside for a minute, came back out and it was gone. I did get a picture.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
Looking south from a rooftop on North 9th (near corner of Meserole) and saw what looked like a grey cloud (it was a totally cloudless day). After a few seconds cloud turned to a goldish color then to a white/ silvery color (when it turned silvery/ white it looked like it could have been 4-6 smaller objects). It then disappeared and returned a few seconds later as a grey cloud. This cycle repeated about 10 times. It was too high to be birds and stayed in the same area of sky the entire time..

Williamstown, MA
Driving east across Petersburg Pass on Route 2, 100 yards past the Mass border with NY. Hovering on the west side of the road about 200 feet high, above a heavily forested area, was an object I could not identify. The top section of the object was a bright red/orange donut shape about 3-5 feet around. Below the donut, a 5-10 foot long white pyramidal spike shape pointed at the ground. The spike had either 3 or 4 sides; I could not tell for sure. I observed it for about 3 to 5 seconds before our car went past it and we went around a turn. At the first opportunity, I turned around a few hundred yards further in a parking area and went back up toward the top of the pass to try to see it again. However, it was no longer visible.

Bright oval light sitting for hours in a spot, but also moving so slow its unnoticeable unless you speed duration of the video up. Started at 8:00 a.m witnessed for at least 2 hours. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

New Paltz, NY
10/20/2017 - 8:35 a.m. - Driving on Rt. 32 Southbound toward New Paltz from Rosendale, first observed appox. 1/2 mile North of Horsenden Road while passing Clearwater Park on left. Object appeared to be white-ish silver moving SSW at high speed (I was driving 55 mph), flying low enough to observe no wings of any kind. Appeared to be teardrop shaped with point facing direction of travel, no lights but did observe "glint" of light from Sun reflecting off surface of object indicating it was a solid, reflective mass. That part of Rt. 32 has trees on both sides, object clearly visible while following road then became obscured by trees. turned onto Horesenden Road, observed once through trees when turned onto road then lost. Did not see again once tree line ended and had more visible area to observe.

Tampa, FL
Letting dogs out, looked skyward to try and observe Uranus. Instead saw a very dim pattern of 4 white lights in a diamond formation. The lights were moving SSE at a high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with this sighting. The lights were not flashing and seemed to be at a high altitude.

San Francisco, CA
Reporting a neighbor's account - about 1 AM, he noticed strange lights and noise in the sky near his home (NE outer Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco). He thought he was looking for a helicopter but it was not. He saw what he called something weird, triangle shaped with green, red, and blue lights. It continued to fly away and come back, again with noise. Could this be a helicopter? The sound he noticed and his best instincts say that it was not. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Albany, NY
Redo: Sorry this took so long, busy, fired, then I got the flu that laid me up for a month or more and I broke a rib coughing. In that time my van’s battery ran down and I don’t have a computer on the internet. I’m at the Albany Public Library. First about me: 1) I served in the US Navy and had watch standing as a duty on ships where I was trained to watch the sky and look for any in bound objects. This entailed me having to give the location in the sky of anything in the sky, 2) I was in commercial flight school, second year, when 911 happened. I am familiar with standard aviation markings at night. On 10/19/17 I was driving to work in Albany, NY, and made a shortcut through a nearby stadium parking lot. It was night and I stopped to adjust my clothing which had bound up. As I looked toward the eastern sky at about 30 degrees off the horizon, due East I saw an object traveling at what I estimate to be about 100 plus knots straight up. The object was yellow with orange flashing lights. This is not the markings of any terrestrial aircraft and the speed excludes anything like balloons, and the altitude it reached was at I estimate over a mile up. I checked with the airport and the ceiling was broken at one to ten miles, where it disappeared in one to two minutes. Then I saw a second object and recorded it on my phone. The images move side to side from holding the phone. The sound in the background by chance is a rebroadcast of Coast to Coast with Art Bell on my car's radio.
