Dora, AL
At approximately 7:16, October 18, 2017, A bright object was hovering low in the Western sky, zigzagging back and forth. Overhead, there were several other crafts with similar lights, closer in size of the surrounding stars. All of these objects were flashing red, green, blue lights with a white light in the center, seemingly floating Westward in the direction of the larger stationary object. This was the second sighting two nights in a row (previous sighting was Oct. 17, 2017). As we (there were three of us) One was blinking a bit brighter than the others, then suddenly dropped straight down with lightening speed and disappeared. A few minutes later, looking towards the Eastern sky, there was a very large (about the size of a street lamp) bright, amber colored oblong (North to South) object. It was also hovering low in the Eastern sky with erratic zigzagging movements. Hovering close to it was a much smaller reddish/yellow object. Both were moving in small increments at the same time. This lasted about three minutes, then quickly vanished.

Arnold, MO
It was about 7:15pm Wed Oct 18th. I picked my daughter up from work and we were headed back to our house. Our neighborhood is in a pretty populated area of town. Our street is dark though, it's a small road leading into our neighborhood and it sits up high on a hill overlooking the rest of the town. I turned left into the subdivision we can see down a large hill and lots of sky. It is a great spot, very open and expansive. The reason I explain all of this is to show that I have a great view of alot of sky at this vantage point. It was very dark at this time, no moon there is airplane and helicopter traffic out in the distance, that is normal so I didn't at first think to much of it. But what caught my eye that made me stop in the middle of the street was two round very super bright lights in the sky to my left. They were just sitting there at a strange angle. Not a normal angle though, not a star or plane, they two were completely stationary. My daughter is 17, I said don't those lights look super odd. She agreed and added that it almost looked like there was a circle around them. I am now kicking myself for not grabbing my phone, we both were almost frozen looking at these lights. I scanned the sky nothing was moving around it. Then all of a sudden the best way I can describe this is the two anglular lights moved away from us. Like they slowly disappeared into the sky. As to explain like it took off slowly but was enveloped by the sky. It did not go left or right or at any angle but forward into the dark. I hope I have described what I saw well. Was it quick? but felt like an eternity. We both were screaming how it was disappearing. Then it was gone. We sat there for another minute and I looked all over the sky, but didn't see anything else. I will never forget it! Thank you for letting me share. Also the circle part I referred too was very very light could not make out that well.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It is night time here so PM, and i estimate it half the size of the moon. Also it was all white and it looked to be some kind of fire behind it glowing like. I also need to correct the direction. It was traveling east to west. I apologize. I was somewhat rattled. It had just happened, when I reported it to you. Thank you. ((END ADDENDUM)) Time may be flawed. We have attempted to contact the source to confirm whether the sighting occurred in the morning, or evening. PD

After a few minutes of crafts flying around, what appeared to be a military aircraft flew between the other 4 crafts. My attention was taken away for about a minute, and when I looked back up they were all gone.

Fire Island (Barett Beach), NY
At about 1500 hrs., on Wednesday October 18, 2017, while sitting on the stairs that go out to the beach , I observed a flash of light (yellow / green) heading in a south west direction. The observation lasted about 2 seconds. The color of the object is similar to natural gas given off by a kitchen range.

Bay Minnette, AL
Traveling from Gulf Shores, Alabama, to home on Highway 59 near Bay Minnette, I notice in the clear blue sky what appeared to be white birds in some type of moving formation. As they got closer it was clear it was not birds, but clear bubble like orbs with a black bar inside. There was around 15 or more of them each the size of a baseball. As they got closer to us, I pointed them out to my husband who was driving and he didn't know what they were. I grabbed my iPhone to take a quick picture and by the time my camera was ready the orbs had moved over our car and quickly disappeared.

Okay i am looking at the brite object in one moment the light ball as it looked to me. At in about 1/4 of a second seemed to move vertical just a hair I saw the light move it seemed to me to move a bit then it was gone strait up gone upward at flash speed off the map away toward space. What could it be led light, maybe the International space station, maybe extraterestial spacecraft. Your Truly

Palmer, AK
Traffic was stopped on the Glenn Hwy, sitting on bridge over Susitna River headed towards Anchorage. I looked towards the pioneer peek and further towards the Exit Glacier, in the sky a black rectangle was standing still about level with the pioneer peak. The object would have been about 40 miles away as a bird flies. I guess it would have been huge. Then I tried to get video of it, as I am an investigator, always taking video. The camera would not focus on the object. Then it began to slope to the left and never changed from being a level black rectangle. Then it disappeared behind some clouds that were quite far away.

Cape Coral, FL
Twice this morning, I’ve seen an orange flickering light moving under clouds slowly at distance over Cape Coral. At times it disappeared, and then reappeared on the same path. No FAA lights, just a rapidly flickering orange. It seemed to be on the same course each pass, but the second pass was lower. It was moving from east to west each time. I first saw it just after 7:00 am, and then again at 7:28 am. I thought it rather unusual.

Wed. October 18th 5:10 AM Pyramid Lake, Reno, Nevada While walking the dog, I saw a flash of light out of the corner of my eye and assumed it was a shooting star. I expected to see it burn up upon entry into atmosphere. Instead there were two bright vertical lights in the distance over the lake. They appeared to hang there for several minutes. As the lights approached I could see there were actually three large landing type lights in a vertical row. As the ‘thing’ turned I could now see several red flashing lights and a couple of green pulsing lights behind them. What was odd was that they were all vertical and nothing horizontal. There was not a sound coming from that direction. As a commercial airline pilot for 36 years I could not imagine what kind of aircraft could have this light formation and move so quietly. It traveled horizontally across the lake from south to northwest over the Sierras at a fairly rapid rate. As it was totally dark out, I could not discern any shape behind the lights. The distance and altitude would be hard to tell although I could see a glow on the lake from the lights, like you can when the moon is bright and shining on water. I could also see a faint shape of distant mountains behind and above the object.

Minneola, KS
Watched a bright ball slowly move across the sky with a couple random “sprints”. It would randomly alternate color from a bright white to a deep red. There was no pattern in the time each color was held or the colors it changed too. I had gone out side to smoke while I talked to a buddy on the phone, I noticed an abnormally bright “star” on the left side of a radio tower. I chalked it up to nothing, after about 10 minutes I looked up and noticed it had moved to the right side of the pole and was no pulsing with different colors. As I watched it returned to a pale yellow. I continued to watch as it would occasionally “sprint” a short distance. This went on till my cousin showed up about 30 minutes into the experience. We watched till his shift ended (county sheriff) and he returned home. I went back inside as it was a bit chilly.

As usual during my late night walk, I looked up and saw a medium lit light. Moving slowing opposite of the LBG airport. I thought nothing at the moment seeing many aircraft come and go. All of a sudden the object lit up green. Like a fire balls and moves slowly west. The green fire ball alarmed and and I took my phone out to film the object. It was on camera for several seconds before disappearing.

Lake Oswego, OR
Me and my ex girlfriend were sitting up at a lookout spot near Iron Mountain Road, up on top of Iron Mountain trail. It overlooks a large area of forest and some private neighborhoods. We were smoking a cigarette, when I suddenly spotted what I thought was the glow of a car headlight, but then realized it was slowly sailing over the very top of the treeline in the forest. We were higher in elevation than the craft so we were looking down upon it, which was approx a quarter mile away from us. It was very clearly seen upon focusing and it was just an orange ball of light. It was really slow and hovered over the treeline in a somewhat straight line that headed kind of towards us. We could eventually see that it may of had a "searchlight" or something like that and it was shining it down into the forest like it was looking for something. It was really strange and we have both never seen something like this. It was so obviously clear and absolutely couldn't have been anything else, we were certain of what we saw. It sort of vanished from view after moving behind taller trees but it seemed that it should've still been visible, although it never re-appeared. We both felt like we had lost ourselves in the sighting and had to collect our senses afterwards.

Wyeville, WI
Driving down hwy 21 towards Wyeville from Tomah, noticed the lights halfway through Wyeville. 5 of the lights were in a straight line, as if attached to a craft. As the lights vanished instantaneously, there was a shotgun blast of more lights, only way I can think to describe it.

4 Orange glowing lights in sky. At first there were two, appeared to be a low flying plane but after looking for a few seconds one of the lights went away and another appeared just above where the two were. Then two more appeared totaling 4 in the sky and they would go on and off, change positions. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Dana Point, CA
I was sitting outside in the backyard in the open. I was talking on the phone and looking up in distance I see a red light, it was only like a dot in the sky but it was not flashing. I figured it was an airplane because it was going about as fast as a regular airplane would go. So, didn't pay too much attention until about a few minutes later when I looked up again to see the UFO stopping in mid air. I almost could not believe what I was seeing. There is no plane I know of that just stops in mid air. That lasted for another minute or two and then, unexpectedly the UFO shot straight up at a speed of thousands of miles per hour. I haven't really told anyone because I know how most people think. More people will think I am making this up than not. I am convinced that this has been happening for a very long time and the Truth MUST be told.

Chattanooga, TN
My home is on a ridge overlooking the river and entire city of Chattanooga. From the second story, my children and I look at the city lights out the window as they are put to bed. Today I saw a light I have never noticed before and it did not seem to move. I watched from one room and never saw the object move. I thought I was losing it, so I went to the opposite side of the house and looked and it was still there. At this time I noticed a secondary object appear. They were both white at that time. I looked for my husband, couldn't find him, went downstairs and out the front door. The two objects were still there, only this time moving slowly toward my house and higher as they went. They moved in unison and the color started changing from one to many colors-- the entire outer rim of the objects were changing colors. I kept rubbing my eyes thinking my contacts were drying out, but the lights were glowing and changing, and at this point I could see the lights were in triangle shapes around the object. I couldn't make out the edges of the objects, only the lights. Then, after they passed my house I lost sight of them because my house blocked my direct line of sight. When I rediscovered them after running around the house they were much further to the left and had made a major change of direction. Then there was only one; the second disappeared. About 15 years ago, I saw a red orb in the middle of the day hovering in Athens, TN, over the interstate.
