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.

Around 8:20 PM my husband called me outside to view what he thought were planes flying closely together. There were six white/yellow lights in the sky; however, they appeared to be hovering stationary in the distance. That was the first indication that they weren't planes. Additionally, I've never seen planes travel so closely together in the form of a chevron. Friends have reported (to me) seeing the same thing, at the same time in different parts of the St. Louis metro area.

I watch them keep blinking and moving father away until I couldn't see them anymore. Anonymous report. We have amended the time above, and assigned an arbitrary date. PD

Browns Summit, NC
Approximately 12 orangish and yellow balls, almost looking as if balls of fire were floating in the sky, they were not as high as the stars above, yet were in formation almost as if they were a constellation of some sort, but they did not at first appear to be moving, as if they all were just there floating. Then slowly they began to form closer clusters of three and four together, slowly they began to fade. When there was only three left, it were as of one just disappeared as the rest then the last two gravitated towards each other and then became only one. Never once did they get larger, yet appeared to just combine and slowly the last one just faded away.

Dora, AL
On October 17th, 2017, at 7:30 PM, I saw a bright object, about the size of a planet, sitting low in the western sky with multiple circular lights of red, green, blue and white in the center, pulsating at different speeds. The object would zigzag, move up and down, then side to side in small increments, while essentially remaining in the same area. The animals (dogs, coyotes, cows and birds) in the wooded countryside where I reside, seemed to be very upset about something, making a lot of noise. As I looked up overhead, there were a few more of the same colored lights only smaller in size, a little larger than the surrounding stars moving very slowly (much slower than an airplane). Then there was a flood of these objects, approximately 50. With the exception of the animal noises, there was no sound. At times they were so close together, I thought they would collide. I went to the front yard to get a larger scope of the sky and noticed they were coming from two different directions. Some from the North and others from the East. But all were converging and gravitating towards the larger, stationary object in the western horizon. Some would disappear quickly, while others continued to circle and zigzag. Occasionally some would emit a large grayish-white beam of light in the southerly direction for a few seconds. This continued until I finally came inside after midnight. I am very thankful to be validated by no less than nine other people who experienced the same phenomenon. No other reports from that area. We wonder whether the objects might have been stars, although the witness insists they were not. PD

They looked like stars that would move around very fast. I have never seen anything like this before. Some of them make circles in the sky they seen to vibrate when they where not moving.

St. George Island, FL
On October 17, 2017, my friend and I were on a motorcycle trip from Mobile, AL, to Daytona, FL. We had stopped off at St. George Island, which is just south of Apalachicola FL, to check out a pub that’s on the island. We decided to leave the island around dusk, maybe 7p. As we were heading back North on the bridge that connects St George Island to the mainland, I noticed a red light that kind of peaked up about level, with the bridge to where I could see it. It was hard to tell exactly how big it was or its shape, but it seemed to me that it was about the size of a small car. It was off the west side of the bridge about 30 yards away and over water. We were miles from the mainland about the middle of the bridge. I was quite puzzled as to what this light may be. Just about then it seemed to lock in on our speed and started following us. We must have been doing about 65 mph. I was the lead bike with my friend in the rear. This light followed us for several minutes and then it went away. It was hard for me to see where it went as I was mostly concentrating on the road ahead of me. After crossing the bridge I immediately pulled over and so did my friend. We just kind of looked at each other for a minute puzzled. Finally, as I began to ask him what in the hell was that, he says to me, “I don’t know!”.

Deltaville, VA
My daughter and I were breaking up a pumpkin for our chickens by throwing it up in the air. She paused for a second, pointed to the sky and said, daddy look at that rocket ship. This is something she says often and it’s usually a plane with the vapor trails behind it. I hesitated to look, she said it again so I changed my position to see it through the trees. I saw the “craft” and it didn’t look like the usual plane with trails. It had a look of red to it and I started to think maybe meteor. But it was to controlled and the trails behind it weren’t like a plane but also not like a meteor. I have seen rockets take off from Wallops Island and this was a different coarse, across the sky, south to north about. I then thought with the sunset that maybe it was a reflection on a plane creating the effect. I looked over at the sunset and the two didn’t really line up. I changed my point of view as it was flying with a tree in my yard blocking the view. I ! saw very clearly where it would re appear from the branches but it never did. There was a very clear sky and no other obstructions near by. We could not find it. Definitely odd. I wish I took a picture but it was gone by the time I got to this realization. There must have been others that saw this.

Harwinton, CT
Glowing spherical object appeared to be a plane with glare from setting sun but as we kept looking did not act like a plane. Was moving northerly in a straight line and after 10 seconds turned 90 degrees to move straight west. We watched as long as we could - did not see further deviation.

Louisville, KY
I noticed two small objects at a very high altitude, slightly east of where I was standing in Louisville, KY. I was facing northeast and looking directly up while recording video on my iphone. When the objects began moving closer overhead, they gained altitude. I ran in to get my phone and recorded for a couple minutes, then I got binoculars and watched them remain overhead for about an additional 6-7 minutes. Viewing with the naked eye they appear to twinkle very brightly, as though someone were reflecting the sun with a mirror; much brighter than the reflection off an airplane, and not like a flashing light but more of a shaky erratic effect and far brighter. Through the binoculars they were very different. They didn't appear to be reflecting light, they were just a bright citrusy yellow, like a tennis ball. They were spherical with no wings. The reason they appeared to twinkle is because they each seemed to be made of two spheres attached to each other, but rolling around each other in a rapid undulating and random orbit with no space in between the two parts. This effect caused them to look elongated for short moments as the two spheres that made the individual objects were sometimes next to each other instead one on top of the other. I tried to search for other reports of similar objects, but most were at night. Some web sites talked about plasma orbs but I am not sure because the color was consistent. Whatever they were, they seemed to be intelligently driven, because they stayed together and once they were overhead they didn't leave, as though they were looking back! (no voice to skull technology or other communication used on me, sorry) This is not the first time (I assume by the naked eye view) I have seen one of these. A few months ago, also during bright daylight, I saw one while walking into a gas station. I watched it for 3-4 minutes, twinkling brightly but not moving at all, until a cloud covered it. The two on the recent occasion disappeared behind chemtrails that were drifting. A cold front had just moved through and we had surprisingly clear skies (still have today). The chemtrails have been very heavy here for months, lessening on most weekends. I also captured an excellent shot of a sun halo, which I have seen many times in the last couple months. If you have any information or insight, please respond. If I'm going to keep seeing these things I'd like to understand their nature better.

Rochester, NH
While traveling southbound on Rt 125 in Rochester, I observed 2 very bright white lights oriented vertically in the sky (one above the other). The light on top was stationary. The lower light was observed at about 1/2 the distance from the top light to the ground, moving right to left. They appeared to be positioned in the direction of Barrington or Madbury, but distance was difficult to ascertain. No contrails or aircraft outlines were observed. After viewing the lights for about 15-20 seconds, both vanished simultaneously and did not reappear.

My 10 year old son and I were driving north on City Rd CC between Hwy 72 and Cty Rd G, which is a sparsely populated area of farmland. The craft appeared directly in front of us flying westward. It was low flying, silver, and reflecting a lot of sunlight. At first I thought it must be a helicopter, since it was flying so low, but it was more of a cigar-shape. I pointed it out to my son, and I said, “What is that?” It then shifted to a north-west direction, then it looked more like a disc. We both got very excited, because it was obviously not a plane or a helicopter. As we continued driving, a line of trees blocked our vision for about 5 seconds, and the craft was gone. It was a very clear sky with only a few wispy clouds, and the craft was flying way below where the clouds were. There was nowhere it could have hid behind. It was just suddenly gone. We then saw it again about 30 seconds later several miles away. It suddenly disappeared again. It was silent and left no contrails.

Bay Village, OH
At 2:22 AM, I woke up to a sound as if someone was running a back hoe. The house was vibrating and I could also hear what sounded like a helicopter. I looked outside, didn't see anything but the noise lasted for 20-30 minutes at least. Later this afternoon, I contacted both of my neighbors whom also heard the sounds. One neighbor had her bedroom become brightly lite. The other neighbor heard the same sounds but assumed it was a crew working on the roads. I contacted the service department in our city and they said there was no work at 2:22 AM. I called ODOT, department of transportation and there was no work being done in our immediate area or near by that the sound could travel. A few years ago, I had a UFO fly over me in the back yard early in the morning and reported it to Mufon. It was triangular and had white lights. It was extremely low, just above the tree tops going towards the lake.

My fiance and I observed several blinking lights hovering almost like they was watching us. We fled the scene only to see we couldn't leave them. Also so a bunch of stars gathering together to form some type of 3D looking object that moved from right to left very slowly. The lights that followed us had flashes of red in them sometimes. Maybe Drones, but why are there so many?

Plymouth, MN
UFO sighting Plymouth, MN, at approximately 12:00 pm on 10/17/17. At approximately 12:00pm, my mother and I were driving to have lunch at Rock Elm Creek in Plymouth, MN, out on their patio. I was driving, my mother was in the passenger seat and my dog was in the back seat of my Prius. It was a beautiful day; clear skies and mid-60s. I was driving east on Hwy 55 when all of sudden my attention was drawn to the sky to an unidentified flying object heading east. I could not take my eyes off of it and kept asking my mom if she could see it. I kept repeating that it has to be a UFO. It was not very obvious in the sky. It appeared disc to round shaped and appeared to be moving very fast eastward. Every few seconds I could see the right side of the craft like it was maybe tilting some and could appreciate a metallic/silver color – it wasn’t consistent. My mother finally saw the object before I had to turn and agreed it was unusual and remarked it must’ve been a drone. I was quite astonished by it and if it was a drone I’m impressed how quickly they move (almost like gliding across the sky). I’d never seen anything like it. Just thought I should report it in case anybody else makes a similar report. This is a quick report as I am busy today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

While driving a light caught my eye. It appeared suddenly enough to be a shooting star. An orb of ice blue light moved slowly across the sky and then It didn't just disappear, the light swiftly eclipsed away. The large size, slow speed and the way it disappeared were all unusual.

For the size/diameter of the body it was moving a lot slower than a jet... it wasn’t a large ballon or a Goodyear blimp. pretty big in diameter and moving slower than a chair and it didn’t have wings or exhaust coming out the back

Started heading southwest, stopped again. Headed east, then stopped and stayed there. I am accustomed to seeing satellites, they move consistently. This was not that.

Driving down 285 west of Santa Fe, there was what appeared to be a bright planet or star in the sky off in the West. Driving farther west, object began dropping slowly, (almost like a falling star) closer to the ground becoming brighter. When crossing over Federal, I drove right under the object, it had a bright light and was flashing red on the sides. It was in the shape of an upside down teardrop with circles around the top. Object disappeared after driving under it. After the experience, I felt extremely uneasy and eyesight was affected right after. Almost like I came across a very powerful energy.
